Camping in Big Sur, CA
May 24-27, 2007
Wow! So beautiful!
My family got invited to go camping with our cousins, the Neffs and the LeBarons, at Big Sur on the coast of California (in between LA and San Fran). So we decided to do it. It was worth the 12-hour drive with the family all stuffed into our big truck! (Can you imagine how much fun we had! It wasn't too bad, but Michael was in the back for most of the time. :) kiddin')
So here are some fun pics of our adventures. We also drove up PCH1 and visited the cute city of Monterey. We found sea glass on the beach and did the 17-mile drive through Pebble Beach! Nice golf courses and way nice houses! Monterey is such cute city with fun old houses and a cool little downtown. I have heard the aquarium is cool, too, but we didn't go. We did see a bunch of elephant seals on the beach, like hundreds, just off the highway on our way home. So that was fun!
Me and Sara at the Falls in the Big Sur Campground, on our little day hike!
Deflating the Tent! Me and Mom!
My awesome thermals!! Long Crotch! It was way colder than I thought it would be!! :)
Sculpting the Greazzzze in Scott's hair at Pfeiffer Beach!
Look at the size of that boys head sticking out of that tent!! It's huge!! Kiddin' Jeff!! Hi!

Procrastination . . . homework
So I went back to school. Need I say more. . .
So the first thing you do when you go back to school is procrastinate. I don't know why I chose the summer to start on my newfound goal of getting a bachelor degree in business. To tell you the truth, I really like school and I am pretty good at it but it's hard when you go out of town every weekend or the weather is nice and all you want to do is hang out outside or go do something fun with friends.
Anyway, so I am sitting here at 11:47pm and instead of sleeping or doing my homework before the weekend and my test on Monday I am going to browse other peoples blogs, look for different templates to try to make my blog better and not go to sleep!
I will be more motivated in the morning :)

Paria Canyon Wilderness and
"The Wave" April 13th-15th, 2007
Surfing the Wave . . .dude!
Buckskin Gulch - Cool narrows!! Cooler water! We didn't make it much further past the first knee-high puddle of water! We were trying to climb the walls! Cute pose!
Me, Cody and MaryAnn on our little weekend trip
to Paria and the great city of Kanab!! Whoo-hoo!
Me at the Wave
The Paria Canyon Wilderness was so beautiful and a fun weekend trip away from St. George. We wanted to get out of our small town. . . so we went to Kanab! Anyway, if you want to hike "the wave," you need a permit. You either have to get it the day before in a lottery or get it online. Go to this website and it will tell you everything. http://www.zionnational-park.com/coyote-buttes-paria.htm
