Wonderful Weekend

Last weekend Kayla stayed with us after finishing a week at BYU for EFY. It was such a fun and packed weekend. We picked her up at 6:45am on Saturday at her dorms. Then we went out to breakfast while she told us all about EFY. Then we decided to go floating down the Provo River. We went all over town and apparently no one in Orem sells water shoes. So we decidied to chance it and wear flip flops. The river was so fun! Matthew was on a tube and Kayla and I shared one. Good thing we did that cause I don't think Kayla would have made it on her own. She didn't quite get the paddling thing to move away from rocks and trees! The water was cold but still bearable. Some parts were just so relaxing and calm and other parts had some good rapids. The only fatality we had was Kayla's flipflop that she lost in the water! We were able to save it once, but the second time the current was so strong we couldn't get to it. We took a lot of pictures on the river but once we got on the water we used a underwater camera to be safe and I don't have them developed yet. Later that night we went to a wedding reception for my friend Alisa (You have probably seen her in some of my other blog pics.) She looked so pretty and I'm glad I went. Since we were in Salt Lake City we walked around beautiful temple square and took pictures! Kayla is quite the photographer! Sunday, Kayla went to church with us and that was really fun since I am in the Young Womens. That afternoon Kayla made her famous cookies for us. Then we had dinner over at Matthew's grandparents and games later at my grandparents! It was so fun having Kayla with us and she is now exactly my height! I can't believe that. I have come to realize that I will probably be the shortest Black girl since 2 of my sisters have surpassed me and another one is very close!
