A blog is not for a 17 year old...

I've decided with all my time I probably could post on here once and awhile... :) i'm really bad at updating, but here's the problem! All the pictures I take are on my phone and well, they are poor quality! I doubt very much people would like to see selfies with my friends and pictures of our student sections at sporting events.

One Direction Concert

 My friends and I went to the One Direction this week, I waited for a whole year to go to this concert and I can honestly say it was the best night of my life!

 I took this picture to show how many girls were trying to get in the doors, but my friend Teagan looked like she wanted to hurt someone... she really was not mad! She was actually really excited, you just can't tell here :)

This is the opening band, 5 Seconds of Summer. 

(left to right) Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis, and Zayn's legs are up top.

My camera has really nice zoom.

 I could not get over those stairs! Louis looks like he's hovering in the air1

 One Direction cannot dance at all, so this is mostly what they do on stage. Mess around and jam out to their own music : )

 They got on this platform and it moved over the crowd on the floor. It was really cool because they were closer to us! : )

 Liam, Niall

I had a great time and yes i did get PCD (Post Concert Depression) 

~Table Rock~

On July 20th for my Dad's birthday we decided to go hike table rock. It's a 12-14 mile hike depending which trail you hike up. We went up Face which is pretty much directly uphill. It's very steep too. But that wasn't the worst part believe it or not! And then we came down Huckleberry. Face is 5 miles and Huckleberry is 7... (I hate Huckleberry just to let you know...)

Well this is actually the Table rock the we were going to. My mom took this when we were very close to being done. 

This is the view headed up to table rock. See that tiny white line in the middle of the trees?? Yeah that's the road we drove up on... We gained a lot of elevation in a few short 3 1/2 hours. 

I needed to wash my hands

This part is at the very end and it's very slippery and steep. Well it was slippery because my shoes had no traction what so every... But to rest I had to sit down so I wouldn't fall.

Happy Birthday Dad! I hope you LOVE this pain :P

Me trying not to fall...

Family photo taken by the scouts that were up there with us.

This is the Grand Teton it's right next to table rock.

So the whole hike i was trying so hard not to fall. That didn't work out so great.. I sliped on a really narrow switch back and cut my leg on a rock... lovely right? Well it was windy while coming down and the blood dried really fast so I was perfectly fine :) 

Sorry there are no pictures of us at the end and there is a reason why.. Well we were all dirty and sweaty and I was absolutely DEAD! Those shoes ^^ were terrible! There are no soles in them so I could feel every single rock I stepped on... My feet were going to fall off I swear! Well when we got home I couldn't even walk... I sat down on our stairs and my feet were so swollen they were literally sausages! Haha :) I don't know why people would go back and do that hike over and over again... They are crazy!! :)

Colored Rice :)

When I babysit my cousins i'm always looking for stuff for them to do. I found the recipe here. All you need is: 

1 1/2 cups of rice 

2 tbsp of vinegar

and some generous drops of food coloring

The website said to use bowls to mix the rice but i used ziplock bags. Less mess and i could give them to my cousins and my nephew to mix.

Mix well until the color has coated the rice. Make sure you don't get too crazy with the rice shaking because it will explode. Our purple exploded :/

 Then spread parchment paper on cookie sheets and put the rice in the oven at 175 Degrees F.  for 10 minutes at a time. I ended up doing 20 minutes.

I had the boys pour the rice on the sheets and I spread it out with my hands and It did die my hands but it washed off.

We did 6 colors (from left to right) Green, Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, and Purple is in the very back and its really dark. :) 

The boys and I really enjoyed making it! but I really dont know what to do with it afterward... I put mine in a jar like rainbow.

 

4th of July

Usually on the 4th of July our family doesn't do much. All we really do is go to our family dinner even thought there's a parade and fireworks. This year we decided to go to the parade, but we skipped out on the fireworks.

Adam liked that everyone was outside with him :) 

But he had to be doing something and that something was trying to run into the street. So grandpa held him :)

Adam got some sweet sunglasses too!

Adam loves the chair that sits under the window on our deck :)

Adam loves his Grandpa

:) Happy 4th!
