I love being able to spend anytime I can with my sister, so I was extremely excited when she was able to come and spend the weekend with Joe and I! McKenna is so super busy with school so getting her to leave her homework and books behind was a huge sacrifice for her. {THANK YOU!} I had so much fun being able to cook for her, and do her laundry. I'm like domestic or something now, it's weird.
Friday night McKenna got into town around 7:30. I made baked ziti, garlic bread, and ceasar salad. Yum, yum, yum. Domestic, right? And of course, we had to go to G's Dairy to get ice cream after :) We stayed up late talking, laughing, and catching up. It was so fun and much needed.
Joe and I woke up early on Saturday to go get our first Bountiful Basket! Those things are seriously so cool; thanks, Pax for convincing me to get one!
We then hung around the house and waited for Joe to get done with his group meeting and then we were off for our adventures! We thought it would be fun to go to Mesa Falls for the day. I decided to drive because I thought I knew where we were going...We definitely took the longest way and went through Island Park instead, which made our drive like an hour longer haha.

Joe got McKenna to shoot his airsoft gun...out the front door. |

She loved it
Later that night we decided it'd be fun to go have a bonfire and make s'mores . We brought along Joe's friend, Skyler and we had a blast.

It's a camel! And I named him Humpty |
|
I'm obsessed with this guy |
Okay, little back story on this camel dude. My friend, Alyssa, from work told me of a new, shorter way to drive to work, since we both live in Rexburg, and she said the best part about taking this way is the camel! I thought, a camel? You're kidding, right? Camel's don't exist is south east Idaho. But sure enough they do!! {Or, I'm just dumb and think it's a camel?} I drive this way to work every time and each time I about swerve off the road because I can't get enough of him! My mom was not convinced that there was such a camel, so hopefully this proves it to her! One of these days I'm going to knock on the door of the house that owns the camel and ask if I can pet him. Apparently, camels are mean and tend to spit, but I don't care I want to meet my new camel friend up close and in person!
Such a great weekend! Thanks McKenna for driving all the way from Provo to come visit us! You're always welcome whenever, so how about you come up next weekend? (:
This video is pretty funny, at least I thought it was...
Oh my goodness I love your post! I also love the shout out...ha ha. Oh and this camel is nice. He came to the elementary school and kids were petting it and everything and he just did his very own little thing. Oh and get this...there are three camels at the little zoo in IF. I just thought you would appreciate that. I am glad you had a blast with your sister!
ReplyDeleteHahah I just saw the pictures of the camel on your blog! I was dying!! Looks like I'm taking a trip to the zoo! :)
