So-long Summer!

Well, we had an awesome summer, here's a recap.

My Lil’ Sis got a mission call (she's going to Zambia... that's in Africa, in case you didn't know) and she came to Logan to go through the temple.  I was TOTALLY ok with this since we live about 3 minutes from the temple.  No traveling!  

We had a great time!  After the temple, we went to the Center Street Grill, where my 81 year old grandma shot her straw wrapper at me from across the table.  I guess I should set a better example.

We hiked to the Wind Caves!

We gave blood for our stake's blood drive.  This probably wouldn't have made the recap... except, well... (here's your gore warning- if you don't do blood scroll past the pictures quickly... the story will follow)

So, when we went to donate, Steven got done a couple minutes before me and walked over to the snack table.  By the time he sat down, I was done and had my snack.  Almost as soon as I sat next to him, he said he was getting light headed, and then he tipped over; first onto me, and then onto the floor face first.  His glasses somehow survived the fall, but in the process they sliced his eyebrow. 

The first picture is the patch-job the red cross people put on it so it wouldn't make a mess on our way to the InstaCare.  When we got there, they took off the tape, cleaned it up and numbed it.  The doctor asked me if I had pulled it open to see how deep it was... and since I hadn't, she did it for me so I could snap it.  Then she stitched it up.  The last few photos are the 2 days after the stitches went in.

They told us to come back in 5 days to get the stitches removed... but we were going to be in Oregon in 5 days, so she gave me a kit that had scissors and tweezers in it so I could take them out.  (I have no pictures of that happening... sorry)

That brings us to the next thing we did... OREGON!

Temple!  This one is so beautiful!

Beach!

We think this was jellyfish... they were all over the beaches.

This much needed vacation was a blast.  :)

Right after we got back from Oregon, we went to Manti.  I only got a picture in front of Temple, but we also went to the pageant the night before. 

We went to Bear Lake- my favorite place, I wish we could go more often.

On the 4th of July, we went to Hyrum and watched the Fireworks.

Sparklers!  Lovin' the patriotic holidays!

I went to a parade and saw these guys...

Since my sister is going on a mission, my mom took her on a trip to see some temples, and I went with.  This is outside the Twin Falls Temple.

 This Shoshone Falls (Can't go to Twin Falls without seeing this...)

This is the Colombia River Temple, we also saw Rexburg, Idaho Falls, Seattle, Portland, Medford, and Reno.  It was a long, exhausting, fun trip :)

And I drove the car through a redwood tree!

My cousin got married in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple, and we went to the copper mine between the lunch and the reception.

Welp, that's the summer!  It was a good one, and now school is in full swing.  First week and I already had 2 papers due yesterday.  But it's alright cause it's my last year.  Bring it on.
