side note:

where do they find these?

I'm seriously wondering.

.................................

oh yeah.. I officially have one more full day of being a teenager. I think I will go home and watch the hannah montana movie and read a Jack Weyland book.

like totally.

hello wednesday.

go see TOY STORY 3

it was cute.

"look alive out there Larsen!"

I LOVE FATHERS DAY.

because we get to celebrate this guy.

The man that used to come find me in the lunch line at school and eat lunch with me and emberass me in front of all of my friends.

That same man is now someone I look to for advice, someone I trust, someone I appreciate and love, someone who supports me and loves me unconditionally, that same man is now a hero and a best friend to me.

Thank you for all you do.

I love you dad!

Our everyday.

Living in California is one big vacation.. I'm tellin ya.

This weekend Garrett and I acted as tourists.

It was an awesome "vacation!"

Went to Old Town ... which was basically Mexico

ate at this fun restraunt! This old man was walking around giving out roses to the ladies... and then he would look at the man after the lady was attached to her rose.. "smell it... isn't it beautiful!... it's yours!!" .... 4 dollars sir.

So sweet Garrett.... may or may not have been his idea .... but he got me that BEAUTIFUL rose! haha

Then after walking around a bit we pretended like we didn't see the "do not touch" sign... and we decided to juggle with this plastic fruit .. (Gar is a serious juggler . )

Saturday we decided to go to Belmont Park .. which is so fun! we rented bikes and rode around for awhile.. 

perfect day for this!

I do have to add this in... when we were just about finished with our bike ride.. we were riding in a really busy spot where people are lining the streets and just hanging out.  Welllllll.... we were right in the middle of all of this when we started seeing if we could ride with no hands (bikes were definitely not sturdy enough for this) .. Garrett then tried to put his feet up+no hands. I look over just in time to see him CRASH on his bike!!! and me being the pathetic insensitive who can't help but laugh.. I LOST it. After I heard all of the people clapping for him I was laughing so hard. 

and. 

couldn't. 

stop.

....he forgave me.

shopped some.. and rode the oldest wooden roller coaster in North America.. so they say!

(our buddy Max who we bribed to let us have the front seat)

then we stopped to see my sweet cousin Sharlie

at the hospital.

since when do they make you dress like this to enter??

we thought we looked kind of cool though for a minute...

such a fun weekend!

life is good in cali.

BEST TRIP EVER.

he is amazing.

it was amazing.

we spent a week with his wonderful family on a houseboat in the middle of paradise.

he is insane and jumped off that 1000 foot cliff.

I watched from my lawn chair on the house boat.

we got lost on the wave runner. it may or may not have been on purpose.

I tried to wakeboard for 5 seconds.

yeah he is better than me at that.

we almost lost his dad in a parachute accident....... and if we would have recorded it (dangit) we would have won americas funniest home video's this week.

he taught me how to fish even though he can't stand it.

he's just like that.

we saw a lot of shooting stars.

we jumped in the water two nights in a row.. i've never had such a cold shower in my life.

We watched great firework shows given by some of the fam.

his family is great.

we played the lipstick game.. and laughed our heads off.

we played lots of cards.. I learned how to play hearts. 

we went on a few long kayak rides.

we hiked until we got attacked by bugs.

he climbed a mountain to write our initials.

he amazed me in a lot of ways.

we laughed.

we talked.

we ate.

we slept.

we relaxed in the sun.

we . didn't . want . to . leave .

playing scrabble!

(ehem. HI down there.)

FREEZING.

I'm pretty sure I won the fishing contest.

....I'm ready to go back

1am.

I can't sleep. wanna know why??

my stomach is growling at me. 

I try to shut my eyes to sleep....

and I keep seeing this

I know it is right downstairs.

"EAT ME"

..... oh I want to. trust me.

next time I go to grocery store all I am putting on that list is: AVOID ISLE 5.

on a side note:

I had the most amazing BEST incredible week at Lake Powell.

(he makes me happy)

to be continued.
