Glacier National Park

Over Labor Day Weekend Marshall and I camped at Glacier National Park. I have seen pictures and heard people talk about how beautiful it is and let me tell you there is nothing like experiencing it. I have never been anywhere so beautiful. Our campground was right on Lake McDonald which has some of the most blue water I have ever seen. We drove the Driving-To-The-Sun Road and it was the most amazing 40 miles I have ever driven. I could go on and on about everything and how beautiful it all was, but then we would have a book and not a blog post. If you ever have the opportunity to go to Glacier National Park do! It is amazing!

Hiking Table Rock

As summer is coming to and end I am finally getting around to blogging about some of our adventures. In July we hiked Table Mountain in the Tetons. And, yeah it was definitely a hike. It was 14 miles round trip, and the hardest and most rewarding thing I have done physically. The Tetons are absolutely beautiful though. The whole hike up to the summit was amazing(the pictures speak for themselves). I hope that if we stay in Idaho we can make hiking Table Mountain an annual adventure.

 

The Palisades

Marshall and I have been wanting to hike The Palisades all summer and we finally did this last weekend. There are three different lakes, and each is a further hike. We only made it to the lowest lake, and that was about a five mile hike in. It was a little bit of a tough hike, but every second if it was absolutely beautiful! I would definitely recommend it to anyone in Eastern Idaho. We were lucky enough to have perfect weather. It is definitely a day worth remembering, and now we can check that off our bucket list.

 

 

I apologize for this picture. We should have taken a picture before we hiked ten miles in four hours LOL. We tried taking about ten pictures, and this was the best one. I know what your all thinking now. How bad were the other nine HAHA.

 

Cliff Jumping

Marshall has been wanting to go cliff jumping since before summer even began, and we finally got to go. We went with Marshall's little brother Miles, and our beloved friends Matt and Megan. We go to this awesome part of the Ririe Reservoir that you have to hike down about a mile to get to, but it is completely worth it. The hike back up us definitely the worst part since its all up hill, but again still worth it. The view was amazing, the weather was pretty good and the water felt amazing. I wasn't as brave as Marshall and Matt were, but I still jumped off a little cliff. Marshall and Matt were the brave ones who jumped off the 35 foot cliff. I wasn't very good about taking pictures, but we will be definitely going again and I will take an abundance of pictures then hopefully.

We can also mark this off our Summer Fun List 2103! Woo Hoo!

Our 4th of July Weekend

This year for the fourth we went to Fallon, Nevada for the long weekend. Marshall grew up in Fallon, but his family moved to Utah about 2 years ago. We went and stayed with his close family friends the Schanks. We spent the 4th with them last year, and they invited us to come down again this year and spend an awesome couple of days with them full of swimming, boating, golfing, and great food. It was an awesome weekend!

Some of the Highlights

-Marshall and Kent's  hot tub

-Wakeboarding(sorry no pictures)

-Eating Barn Wedges (If you are ever in Fallon go to Pizza Barn and get Barn Wedges)

-Getting to spend time with the Schanks (they are awesome)

-Having Mya ask me "how do you know me?"

-Playing Badminton with Kenna (she is Olympic status)

-Marshall giving me tours of Fallon

^^ I never knew how fun badminton could be ^^

^^ The Hot tub ^^

  ^^ It was 9 hours each way. But totally worth it! ^^

 ^^ Marshall got pretty tired from all the golfing ^^

 ^^ Marshall's High School ^^



We Went On A Drive

We went for a little drive last night, and it is amazing how pretty the surrounding areas of Rexburg are. We didn't drive more than 15 minutes outside of town to find all the beautifulness in the pictures below. I really how grown to love Idaho over the last couple years. I hope you all enjoy the pictures.





Bonfire Kind of Night

Lately, I have been really trying to be better about taking pictures of just everything, and I have been really good until this last night. Sadly I only have one picture of the fire from our bonfire. It was such a fun night though. We went with our friends Amanda and Mathew, and Jeremy and Kristen, and there little girl Brynlee. We made tin foil dinners, smores, and roasted starbursts(it was my first time for this and it was good!). Then we just talked for a few hours. There is something about being around a bonfire that makes every story so much more entertaining or funny. It was a great night with good food and awesome friends.

 

Oh and this was on our Summer Fun Bucket List 2013! Woo Hoo Again!

Teton Vu Drive In

Marshall and I went to the Teton Vu Drive In this last weekend, and it was so much fun. We have been wanting to go for awhile it just has been so cold that we haven't been brave enough to. We went this last weekend though, and it was so much fun! It was a double feature with World War Z and Fast and Furious 6. We didn't make it through Fast and Furious 6, but we really weren't to bummed about that. We thought that World War Z turned out to be pretty good. I am not really into the whole zombie fad, but this was really entertaining. I would suggest the Drive In to all who have one close to them!

 

Oh and I almost forgot! This was on our Summer Fun Bucket List 2013! Woo Hoo!
