Cold Raging Waters


This was "fun" Raging Waters. It was freezing cold, there was no sunny sun and we mostly just sat wrapped up in blankets. I couldn't wait to go to a water park this year so in June we thought it would be warm enough to go but nope it wasn't. This was about 3 weeks ago so it is warm now but atleast they gave us free tickets to come back. It was for Jon's (matts' brother) Jet Blue work party. Right before we were going to leave I finally got in the wave pool (which is my favorite). It was kinda warm but not really.
Afterwards we went to Mike & Annies' to have a BBQ, by then the sun was out and it was warm and it made the day a lot better.

Timpanogos Caves

Today Matt, Jon, Mike, Annie and me went to the Timpanogos Caves. They were amazing. The cave always stays 43 degrees in winter & summer so even though we were hiking in 95 degree weather we still had to take sweaters. The hike is a mile and a half up hill to the caves. It takes about 45 minutes to get to the top. Then the tour is about an hour.
This is the heart of Timpanogos. There were so many things in the caves I had only seen on the movie Planet Earth, which Matt and I just watched like two weeks ago. There are three caves and they all are very different from eachother.
After coming out of the cave on our way down the mountain Matt saw a snake and I heard a rattle. Of course I just wanted to run but the boys said not to. The rattle snake was right by us and it looked like it was ready to jump on us. They slowly walked past it and I fastly ran by it screaming.
We have been planning our trip to Yellow Stone and we want to do more hikes this year than we did on couple of years ago on our last Reed family vaction to Yellow Stone. We only stayed a night when we went last because we went up to Glacier National Park. This time we are going to stay a week. This was the first hike we did to get ready for it and we didn't do too bad. But maybe in the morning I will say other wise.
If anyone knows other fun hikes around here let me know. We have already done a lot in big cotton wood canyon so other than that please do share.

Which Disney Princess Are You?


My friend Stefanie had this on her blog and I took it. I thought it was fun. You can see I was Esmerelda which I haven't ever seen that movie but maybe I will have to now. It said:

Mysterious and passionate. You are a survivor. Even though life has swung you some difficult situations you have a strong intuition that gets you through. Also, you have the capacity to sympathize and relate to a variety of different people.

Give it a try and let me know which one you are.
