Utah... Part 1 (Friday)

Last week we went up to Utah for a few reasons. The main one was that we were taking my brother Aaron up to collage at BYU! We got there on Thursday evening and started doing everything on Friday! He is starting summer semester and is in helaman halls. His hall is called budge halls.


My dad, My mom, and brother Evan with the "budge" sign. (Evan found a piece of wood that looked like a Y and put it after the word budge to make it say Budgie/budge, .... get it another named for a parakeet? Yes I know he spelled it wrong.)
Aaron with his new bed!
Aaron with his closet
Aaron's desk and closet
Here is a bigger view of it all
This is Josh, Aaron's roommate and good friend. We are really good friends with his whole family and have known them for a long time!
They even get a mini refrigerator! :)
Then we ate Pier 49 pizza, which we always eat when we come to Utah because it's so good!
And then I had this amazing idea to go find Aaron's bike among all the other bikes and take this picture to send to him.......
But he spoiled my surprise while finding me on his way out of the dorms!!! He saw me on his bike and thought that was funny. :)
On our way home we saw all this water coming out... and we had to take a picture of it!
Our last stop was at the BYU creamery! It was SO good. The two ice cream scoops I got were toffee & Raspberries and cream cheese. It was so yummy! Have you been there before??? What is your favorite flavor?

As You Like It!

Last month our Shakespeare class performed "As you like it" obviously by Shakespeare. We had been training for 8 months (Some of us for longer like 2 years) to do a play and we did it! It was a very busy/fun experience. My mom directed it and my Aunt produced it. We have awesome coustumes and a really fun "Island theme" that worked perfect! Here are some pictures! They are mostly in order of the play. I didn't do a great job explaining the play either (I wasn't really trying) so if you havn't seen As you like it before you should!

Natalie (Rosalind) Me, (Celia)
Me & Libby (Madam LeBou)

Natalie, Me, Sofi (Touchstone) and Libby. (They are sisters.... In real life not the play!)

Me, Natalie & Megan (Captain Freda)
Me & Natalie planing to Run away
Best friends, and cousins!
Now on the Island. As you can see Celia (pretending to be Aliena) was unhappy/tired.
Rosalind (Pretending to be Ganymede) & Touchstone were feeling the same!
But things turned out alright!

Aliena reading a love note found on a tree for Rosalind
Rosiland (Pretending to be Ganymede) jokes with me.
Talking about the love note
In this scene we are at the beach!
Here I am sitting on a rock....
And then Celia (Pretending to be Aliena) falls in love............
And then Ganymede faints after seeing a bloody napkin from her love (not pictured)
And we show who we really (Ganymede is really Rosalind... And Aliana is really Celia!) And we get married!
We dance.............
We limbo...............
THE END!!

You should know (if you don't already know) that I skipped a LOT of stuff and there were a LOT of other people I didn't put pictures of. Thank you to Aaron for the great pictures!!
