memorial day weekend in a nutshell

Why my memorial day weekend was pretty much superb...

1) To start off my memorial day weekend, my little sister Angela came to visit me and enjoy a nice little sleepover with my roommies and I. (PS...I love that as we grown older, we tend to grow closer in our relationships with our siblings. I remember as children when we would fight and bicker and say words worth a good mouthwashing such as "hate". At the time we could not really imagine considering our siblings friends and really wanting to hang out with them, haha. Now we can, and I think that is so cool. I love my siblings and think they are just awesome.) Well, Angela came with me and some friends to watch a movie up in the canyon, which ended up being quite the little dodging session with us and the sprinkler systems. Needless to say, it was fun even with a few wet sprinkles.

2) My sister and I went with some friends on a fun hike up to Stewart Falls. We'd never been there before, but it was super fun and beautiful. We all decided to get a little crazy and try out the waterfall, ha. It was soooo cold that I got a little brainfreeze. It was beautiful though, definitley recommend this hike to anyone. It actually isn't really much of a hike, but a fun little stroll, with a beautifully rewarding waterfall in the end.

3) Saturday night was campfire time. We found an great campfire spot up the canyon at Vivian Park and roasted some marshmellows and starbursts. A few brave souls also decided to share some scary stories. It was wonderful because the rain held up just until as we were leaving. haha, it totally reminded me of all the times me and my fam would try to go camping in south carolina, but because of the huge amounts of pouring rain, we always seemed to be flooded out. Don't ask me why, but the weather for some reason had some vendetta against our family camping trips and never wanted us to finish them. ha. but now we have some fun memories and even videos to share.

4) Memorial Day monday me and my bro headed up to our uncles in Alpine where a lot of my mom's fam was gathering for some festivities. It was so great and relaxing, we spent most of the day outside soaking up the rays and swimming in the pool. Thank heavens to whoever created sunscreen...they are my lifesaver. without it, i would now be your own personal bright red walking human raisin. after soaking up too many rays, we had some yummy food and also a nice little birthday celebration for my grandma(I call her g-ma). oh, speaking of my g-ma, her and I are making some fun clothing items out of my oma's old but very cool retro fabrics. I can't wait to finish them, they'll be cute. and when i have access to a camera, i will remember to take a pic of them and post them for yall to see. So yea, g-ma's b day celebration was fun, and me and my brother rhen ended it with a fun little cupcake stuffing contest. We wanted to see who could stuff the biggest cupcake in their mouth and eat it all too. ha. sadly, rhen won. im still waiting for the day when I can beat him at something. ha
