Real Salt Lake

Last Christmas Jess bought me tickets to some Real Salt Lake soccer games. We have really enjoyed coming down to the games. This past Wednesday was by far the best game that we have been to. Real played the LA Galaxy who had not lost yet. Real beat them 1-0. It was a great game!

Jess and I down on the field after the game.

Real Salt Lake are wearing red and the LA Galaxy are in white.

The stadium was packed.

After the game David Cook put on a concert for all the people who had tickets to the game. They set up a stage on the field and let people come to onto the field for the concert. It was a lot of fun and he did a good job. He played 7 or 8 songs and he also sang the National Anthem at the beginning of the game.

LAKE POWELL

Last week we went with a bunch of friends to Lake Powell. It was so much fun and the weather was amazing. The last day we were there it was 101 degrees. It was so nice to be in warm weather and out of this crazy rainy weather that we have been having here. I had never been to Lake Powell and it is beautiful. There are so many canyons and cliffs. We had a great time! I took a lot of pictures so it was hard to choose which ones to post.

This is the house boat we stayed on. It was called the Unwinder. Thanks Dave and Kris for letting us stay here!


All of us on the house boat wearing our foam hats. It had always been kind of a joke with our friends that when we go boating on our boat we wear foam hats. I don't really know if it is because they float or what but we look stylish!

Jess, Jake, and Bryan trying to stay on the tube. I must have been doing a great job driving because they look like they are going to fall off.

BreAnna, me, and Stacey riding the Super Mable Tube. This is one of our favorite tubes.

Bryan, Jess, Ryan, Jake, and Justin enjoying the sun.

Jess going off the slide on the house boat. The boys had a lot of fun finding different ways to slide down and trying to land on different things. I think there favorite was landing on the Hot Dog tube.

Jess doing a little surfing.

Jess and I with our boat docked at them little store they had. I can't tell you how good the ice cream tasted in 101 degree weather!

Me getting ready to jump. All of the boys jumped off the cliffs too. The pictures of them are on another camera. Maybe one of them other girls will blog them.

The boys!

The first day of our trip was Bre's birthday. Jake surprised her with a cake.

Jess and I on the boat in Annie's Canyon. This was one of our favorite places. We we got into the canyon we all jumped in the water. It was a lot of fun!

Jake and Jess surfing.

This is my trying to surf. I have only done it a few time and I am still not very good at it. As you can see I am concentrating really hard.

Las Vegas

This weekend Jess and I went to Las Vegas so I could play in a soccer tournament. The weather was so nice. It was 90 degrees all weekend. Our team did a good job and it was great to finally be playing outside.

Jess and I stayed at the Golden Nugget this time. We usually stay at the Excalibur or somewhere right on the strip but this was nice for a change. The hotel had just been remodeled and the pool are was amazing. It was called "The Tank" because there was a huge fish tank in the middle of the pool with a variety of fish and some sharks. There was also a water slide that went right down the middle of the fish tank. When I went down the slide I tried to go slow so I could see all the fish.
This is a picture of "the Tank" The tube running through the middle is the slide. You could also swim right up to the tank.



Jess and I walking down Fremont Street.


While we were in Vegas we ate at a restaurant called the Grotto. It was the best Italian food I have ever eaten. The pizza was amazing and I wish I could make the meat sauce that was on my pasta.
