Fabulous Weekend in Wales.

To finish off our great weekend down in Wales Ashlee, Melinda, Victor, and I went snowboarding up Fairview canyon. It was a beautiful day and the few trails with powder that we found among the many hard-packed trails were amazing to snowboard on. And guess what...I landed my first jump! I thought I had gotten at least a couple feet of air but my dreams were quickly crushed when Victor informed me that he liked my "bunny hop."


Melinda and I both spent a lot of time sitting in the snow among the trees just enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery...aka we aren't very good at snowboarding yet. :)







Ashlee and Melinda bulding a snow fort. Being from California neither of them have ever built one before but I was very impressed with their snow-fort-building skills.






Julia on the other hand has built one to many snow forts and is doing it the easy way....smart girl.






Both David and Benjamin kept going off the jump and then running back up to the top of the hill to ride back down again. Their excitement for life makes me smile.

Pistol Packin' College Students.

After two weeks of hard work at school my roommates Melinda and Ashlee made the trek down to Wales with me to spend the weekend. Upon our arrival my amazing dad was anxiously waiting to take three college girls shooting up the canyon. I know we look very intimidating with those big guns... but don't worry the only things we shot were a bunch of cans. :)


With the help of Dad and Daniel we were pro shooters in no time


Don't they look like movie stars off of a really intense action film?...they even have the stylin' movie star glasses.


...and then there is the blond that looks like she doesn't know what she is doing. Seriously who gave this girl a gun?


Here we are with the big guns. It's to bad that our arm muscles aren't identical to the size of the guns we were shooting. Oh well. All in all we were quite the shots...just call us Melinda, Ashlee, and Katherine Oakley(the long lost cousins of Annie Oakley).
