Labor Day Weekend Happenings

This weekend was such a good weekend!

It started out with a bang on Thursday. Thursday was my birthday and although I am not a fan of getting older I had a great birthday. The festivities started on Wednesday night when my roommate Emily gave me my birthday present. She made me a home made quilt! I was so excited! I absolutely love it and have slept with it every night since. I can't even believe she did that for me. Then we had Otter Pops at midnight complete with a candle. (There is a story behind the candle but it's too embarrassing to tell so if you want the dirty details you'll have to talk to Emily! haha) Thursday morning I slept in, made myself a nice big breakfast, and then drove home to Fruit Heights. Mom and I went shopping for some stuff and then that night we had a BBQ outside with some extended fam and some of my favorite foods: steak, corn on the cob, funeral potatoes, and pink goop. It was deeee-licious. I then opened presents and we ate cake and ice cream. I am happy to announce that I am now a certified camper! I got a tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, air mattress blower upper thingy, lantern, and cooler. I am so excited to go test out all my new gear! Anyone wanna go camping with me?! :) I drove home that night and when I got to my apartment there was a big candy poster waiting for me. Oh Emily. She is such a good friend. So since my birthday was not quite over yet Emily and I went to McDonalds and got hot fudge Sundays. We came back to our apartment to eat them and watched an episode of Punky Brewster. "Oh Henry"

Saturday was another Bear Lake day. SO much fun! The weather was fantastic! And in case Emily hadn't done enough for me already, she made me a birthday cake and brought it to Bear Lake. This cake was very 'Cake Boss'. It depicted a lake scene complete with a sun, sky, lake, and ground up graham crackers for the sandy beach. Yum!

On Sunday I drove to Clear Creek to go camping with my family and the Butt family. It was a lot of fun. We rode four wheelers, played with the dogs, sat by the campfire, ate a ton, and played lots and lots of games. I taught my mom and Jessica how to play Nerts and they are totally addicted now. We played a lot of Pirates and even got my dad to join in on a couple of rounds. We also played Farkle, Skipbo, and Slap Jack. Jessica pulled a prank on me that was epic. We were sitting around the campfire and she gets up and asks me to hold her drink, which I do. As I take it I start wondering why its warm but just assume that it must be hot apple cider. Then the smell hits me. Yup. That's right. I am sitting there holding her pee! That dirty rotten skunk! She got me good! I can't even tell you how nasty that was! I think I washed my hands for a good ten minutes! SICK! If you have any ideas on how to prank her back let me know!
