Well, I hope everyone had an awesome 4th! My 4th was tons of fun. Andy was kind enough to fly all the way from Minnesota to visit me...it was really nice seeing him again and spending time with him. Here's a summary of the weekend...
Thursday: Andy arrives at 11 pm...we made tinfoil dinners at Tim's house to prepare for our camping trip.
Friday: I worked until noon. In the meantime, Andy went to BYU Campus and Campus Plaza to run a few errands. Then, we had to get a few things for our camping trip with Tim and Julia. We grabbed lunch and drove to Nun's Park Camping Grounds. Tim and Julia were already there reserving our spot. We just had to switch places so they could grab a few things. We did a little bit of exploring and played some card games. That night, we ate our tinfoil dinners...they were soooo good!!! Then, we played card games again and watched a movie. Tim had rented a projector and screen from BYU. It was fun! I've never watched a movie in the Canyons before. On top of that, we didn't even bring a tent....we just brought sleeping bags and blankets and slept under the stars.
Saturday: Andy and I went and checked out Bridal Veil Falls. We had parked at the viewpoint and decided to avoid the trail and climb down the side of the mountain...pretty crazy huh? It really wasn't bad...but it was a little adventure. Then, that afternoon, we went and saw War of the Worlds. The acting and special affects was really good....but, I would suggest waiting till it went to the dollar theatre. That night was Stadium of Fire...we went to my favorite spot (somewhere in Helaman Halls...behind the baseball stadium) to watch the fireworks. They were soo cool! It was almost like they were falling on us.
Sunday: Of course we went to church...Later in the afternoon, we went to Rock Canyon Park. Luckily it was still 'flooded'. I thought it was really cool. The water was really cold too. The we went to FHE.
Monday: Went to a BBQ at Tim's house. After that, we went up to SLC to the This is the Place Park. I think I was expecting more from it...but it was neat to see the spot where Brigham Young said this is where the Saints would settle. Then, we went to the planetarium and watched a show. It was called "Night Vision". It was pretty cool because he was explaining the constellations.
Tuesday: Andy leaves to go back to Minnesota at 4 am.
Well, that's my 4th of July weekend in a nutshell. I hope you all enjoyed hearing about it. :)
