UEA ROCKS!!!

Hello! Well, Tyler and I just got home from a super fun UEA weekend with the Willis'.

Wednesday Tyler and I packed up our stuff and headed up to Idaho right after we got out of school. On our way we stopped by the Veterans Hospital in Salt Lake to visit Grandpa Jensen who gave us a bit of a scare last week. We said hello and told him we love him. He's doing a lot better now so that is good. It was amazing. Even though he wasn't totally with us he still had an amazing sense of humor and was throwing out sarcasm every other sentence. ha, he's always had a good sense of humor.

We then drove to Idaho and got to Ty's family's house in Rexburg at about 10 pm. We talked and then went to bed.

The next day Tyler and I got up and packed up all our fishing gear, got our licenses, and then drove out to the snake river to go fishing. We drove his parent's Expedition, which was really good because we ended up driving on rocks and dirt and crazy terrain. It was a lot of fun though! We found a pretty good spot and fished for a few hours. Tyler and I both caught one there. Mine was crazy, because I reeled it in and Ty caught it in the net, then the hook popped off and the worm was still on it!! ha! Way, cool I know!! :) I was just happy because I didn't want it to suffer with the hook in it for too long.

We tried another spot, but had no luck there. Then we met up with Grant (Ty's dad) and Jacob (Ty's brother) and we fished a couple more spots. Tyler and I both caught one more fish. It was a lot of fun and the scenery was beautiful!

After that we got some pizza and went to Grandma and Grandpa Barrott's home to watch the BYU football game. The company and the food was great, but the game was horrifying... ha.

Friday, Tyler and I drove out to Yellowstone! It was sooooooo pretty!!!! We saw Old Faithful, tons and tons of geysers, buffalo, elk, went to Mammoth and hiked around, and we drove along Yellowstone Lake which was absolutely breathtaking! Behind the lake were snow-covered mountains and the water was such a deep blue. It was so pretty!

At about 5:15 we hurried back to Rexberg to watch Jacob who is in the marching band, perform during the high school football half time show. He was AWESOME!!! He did such a good job and looked so cool in his uniform. Ty especially liked the feather on top of the hat. :)

After the show we met up with Ty's cousin Casey and his fiance Ashley. We played the Wii and watched the Simpsons Movie. :)

Saturday we woke up early, ate breakfast and then all Ty's family and I headed out to Bannock, Montana where we walked around and looked at the old town. It's so big! We walked through the old homes, school, hotel, church, jail, and bar. Then we panned for gold and Ty and Grant actually found a few flakes!!! :) ha, we were so excited! :) We then went to Crystal Mountain and dug, shoveled, and sifted for crystals. We found a bunch. :) Then we got dinner at good ol' McDonald's and drove home exhausted. :)

This morning we ate a yummy breakfast and then Tyler and I headed home. Now we're just doing homework and unpacking...back to school, bummer... ha, but at least we had a nice break! :) Anyways, that's all for now, better get back to homework. :)
