Vacation!

Over the 4th of July, Trevor's friend and his wife invited us to go with them to St. George. Her family has a vacation home there. Of course, we accepted and had the opportunity to spend 5 days in their second home with Trevor's friend, the wife, and their 2 year old son. The house was beautiful, and very spacious. The back of the house had this huge window that looked right up Snow Canyon, and it was just beautiful. Looked just like a giant picture. (I wish I would have taken pictures for you.)

On the 4th, Trevor and I got to go to Tuacahn, which is an outdoor ampitheater and they do a couple of musicals each summer. This summer they are doing Aladdin and Hairspray. We got to see Aladdin and it was so good! I think the musical is fairly new. Maybe came out last year. It was very comical and even had a 3-D part (they had a screen to show the cave scene). The 3-D animation was really good too. And kind of weird. I haven't seen too many 3-D movies, but this was way better than what I've seen.

Since we rode with Trevor's friends to St. George, we only had one car, so we got to take the Porsche (bright yellow). Good thing Trevor can drive stick! I felt so dishonest driving it though. People probably thought we were made of money (which we are not). Especially because we driving such an expensive car and are so young. It was sure fun though! (Even if I felt unsafe that there was no roof protecting us if we were to roll). :) Trevor says I worry about silly things.

And there is my awesome husband, feeling (and trying to act) cool while driving a foreign sports car.  Trevor is 25 and I'm 21, but everyone thinks he robbed the cradle because I look like I'm 17 and he looks like he's 30. At first glance anyways. It's kind of fun to see people's reactions when they learn our real ages. 

That was off topic, but oh well. While in St. George, we spent two days on a lake boating. I had never been boating before so this was a fun experience. I also got to try wake-boarding, surfing, and the air-chair. The first day I was so terrible. I didn't get up at all in wake-boarding, but I did 2 times in surfing. The second day though, I was able to get up almost every time in wake-boarding, but I couldn't stay up for very long. And I was terrible at surfing. And I wasn't good at air-chair either. But! I felt successful anyway! I haven't even been snowboarding, so it was all very foreign to me. Trevor is pretty good though. Here's a couple pictures.

(it's hard to tell what this is, but this is Trevor on the air-chair just coming out of the water)

(it's also about 2 seconds before he biffs it hard)

The only not-fun thing about St. George? It was so hot! I was so glad to be in an air conditioned house and to be on/in the water. Since we were so extremely sore the last day, Trevor and I just sat around reading books. I suggest reading some Brandon Sanderson books. He's a good, creative author. Elantris is popular (just a single book) and the Mistborn series is pretty popular (which is unfortunate because I'm having a hard time getting a hold of the second book). All in all, vacations are fun, but they are also draining. At least we didn't have to drive on the way back. :)
