It is only July 13th but already this month has been so busy. On June 30th was Zak's 26th birthday. We stayed home and I made him a really yummy dinner and then some friends came over for cake.
The forth of July weekend was so busy and loads of fun. Since it was a long weekend for both Zak and I we decided we would try to go backpacking. We left after I got home at about 6:00 but didn't start hiking until 7:30. We thought maybe we would make it to our destination (which neither of us had been to) before dark. At about 10:00 we still had not found the spot that we were looking for and were teriffied of bears. We turned around and hiked all the way back out. It was a total of about 8 miles and we were exashted. We drove about an hour back to Rexburg and slept soundly that night in the comfort of our apratment. Needless to say we won't be going backpacking at night again. We will however listen to the spirit when it says that this is not a good idea.
The next morning we got up and went to the Rexburg 4th of July parade. It was pretty fun and suprisingly long for such a small town. It was rather hot but we still enjoyed it. Later that day we went and floated down the river on tubes. It was so relaxing and a great way to spend the day. That night we went to Idaho Falls to watch the firework show. It was as good as anyother year but we got to sit on someones private property so we were so croweded out like we usually are.
This last weekend Zak's best friend from Georgia was in town so we got to hang out with him, his wife and his dad. We had a fun time. We went to the Rexburg Annual Demolition Durby. There is something so fun about sitting in a crowed of people watching cars crash into eachother. One of the best parts though was a pig run. I thought that the poor thing was going to die. It was just standing there are peaceful until the people got about 2 steps away when it bolted. It practically got tackeled and still got away.
Next week we are going camping and then Zak's little sister Mikah will be here so we still have alot of fun things ahead. I love the summer here. Rexburg is a great place to be.
If you click on the picture below if will take you though an album of some of the events I described. Hope you enjoy.
