Summer Adventures! Yay!

I will give you a really quick rundown of my summer, then a few more details about California and Carl's wedding!

To start off my summer, I went to my friend Mandy's wedding reception. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the picture I took there. Once I get it, I will post it!

I went on several very fun photo adventures. I went to Cathedral Gorge, and several places up Cedar Canyon, where I was for the most part, lost. Here are a few photos that came of those adventures for your enjoyment:







I went to Zion with my family once in the beginning of summer. Here are some photos from that adventure:





Michelle and I took some cute pictures with umbrellas in the rain. They weren't quite what I had in mind, but with a little editing, they were pretty fun. I also got a good, and rather moving shot of a Veitnam soldier statue. More pictures!







(P.S., as always, there are more where these came from on my Flickr account.)

Next (I think) I spent some time in Orem to go to my friend Megan's wedding reception. It was beauitful, with the pink and black decorations, low lights, and candles on the tables. She was very happy and excited and seemed to be having a blast at her reception. Her husband was so nice and didn't shove cake in her face, but she did it to him! And he looked super embarrassed at the garter part, ha ha. Here we are:



The next day, we went to Thanksgiving Pointe. I hadn't met Carl's fiance yet, so she came along. Here are some pictures I took there:







I went on a really fun campout with some of my friends for girls' night near Navajo Lake. I can't even think about giving you those details! Just kidding, mostly we just played games and did a little hiking. As with last year's campout, I came home desperately wanting a dog! Photos:





After that trip to Orem, I started my summer math class. It was a pain, but I got an A! My teacher let me miss a whole week of class to go to Disneyland with my family, which is basically unthinkable. I did go back to Orem the weekend of the 24th of July to help with some engagement photos (which was pointless in the end, but I don't regret going). I went on a date with an old friend, which was pretty fun. Next time I blog, you will get to hear all about my grand adventures in California!
