My Utah Trip

I got to hitch a ride with my parents and my sister Crystal to Utah. I stayed with the Berry Family. We had a great time!
We went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. They had every color imaginable... and churros! what is a festival without churros???

On the way through Reno we stopped for breakfast at the Black Bear Diner and ordered a bear claw pastry and this is what they gave us! Holy Moly! and it was way yummy too!


The 2nd day we were there we got to watch Star run a 1/2 marathon- 13.1 miles doesn't seem like 1/2 of anything.... that's a LONG run... no breaks... no switching into a car... all in a row! She did it in 1 hour 58 minutes, my sister ROCKS!

I love my sisters!

the longest i ever stopped in Nevada...

This past Thursday was the longest I ever have stopped in Nevada. Usually its just a gas refill and potty break, maybe some Taco Bell... But this Thursday on the way home from Utah my parents, Crystal, and I were involved in a
TRIPLE CAR PILEUP!!!!
It was scary but very interesting to see how my family and myself handled this extreme situation (turns out my mom can patch up other people's head wounds not just her daughters', and Crystal and I ... i'll just say it... we got to play with flares! It was one of the scariest moments of my life and i am grateful that we got out of it with just a wrecked car and some cuts and bruises.
I've posted the car wreck pictures that i took with my celphone on my photo webpage
