Pretty much I've been GOIN GOIN GOIN.

So I just thought I would catch you all up on the amazing summer I'm having... There is always something going on and it's TONS of fun:)... thanks to Quincy, the SMALL town you'd never think had much to offer, I have had the best summer. Allow me to demonstrate:

We went to Mt. Rainier:)Boating at Lake Coeur d'Alene!Local Baseball Game...

Canoeing and Cliff Jumping on the Columbia at Spanish CastleWe went to the Wild Horse Monument!

Windmills!

Plus there have been about a million other fun things we've done... I'll tell you about those later:) I just love friends!!!

I aspire to be brown...

So the pea field has done wonders when it comes to my skin color. Normally it is WHITE. I'm not going to show pictures of that because it's just sad. However I WILL show you how I look now compared to those around me. Prepare to be amazed.... only downfall? I'll probably get skin cancer. oh well.

Dark Huh? :)

5th of July

So 4th of July was cool and everything but I didn't really do anything special except for hang out with Bailey in the snoshack (which Bailey has pictures of that I need to steal...) watch the city fireworks show.... BUT the 5th of July was pretty dang AMAZING:) Kammie, Deidra, Jill, Bailey and I went to Quincy where we met up with some friends and went to Cresent Ridge, which is this super fancy resort condo-ish place for rich seattle people. They had this fireworks show that was seriously the coolest thing I've ever seen. We layed on the grass and these GIGANTIC fireworks were shot off like right above us, and then the sound would echo down the canyon walls, it was sooo amazing. I loved every moment of it.

This was the group

I'm not really sure who the random person standing up in the background is though... maybe I just wasn't introduced?
After the fireworks we drove up to Monument Hill and once again THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER. The drive was super fun... haha 9 of us crammed into Kelly's pickup and drove forever on this dirt road to get to this place. There was this part of the road that was like a roller coaster and i'm not gonna lie I probably should have been fearing for my life because Kelly was going so fast, but it was a BLAST:) Then when we got to the top of the hill I believe I came to an even greater understanding of why the Basin is "Celestial" THE STARS WERE INCREDIBLE. There were no lights anywhere except for the sky... sad story though, no Joe to cuddle with :(... Anyway then we drove past this creepy house and Stace told some scary alien stories somewhere in there... and we ended the night at the park playing on the toys. So basically what i'm trying to say is: First time hanging out in QUINCY WAS... FABULOUS.

This is for KYNDRA

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE YOU!! :)

Eric left ME for COLLEGE???

THIS is Eric... making a silly face. Eric has been one of my most best friends for... like my whole life. And then all of a sudden he decides to ditch me for COLLEGE?? Real cool Eric. REAL COOL. Haha eh jk I guess it's okay. I suppose getting an education and a career and stuff is a little bit of a necessity in life. What I'm worried the most about is him selecting a girl to date that's good enough for him... haha pretty sure I need to be there to weed out the ones he shouldn't date. hahaha....sigh. But it's okay because he's waiting until after his mission to date! HUH ERIC?? Thats what I thought. Anyway so his sister got married this weekend, and Eric's cousins were in town and that leads me to a funnyish story:

These cousins are from KUNA, ID. I used to live there...

We were in the 7th ward when I lived there.... So were they!?

I lived on Hubbard. They lived around the corner?!?

In other words: We lived down the street from each other in the same ward. Only thing is, we lived there for like 3 months so we don't remember each other so much. Except for Eric's cousin Spencer, who knows my brother Theryn. Small world eh?

Anyway so we hung out a little bit and went over to their other cousins house and watched a movie, but there weren't enough seats in bailey's car... They didn't seem to mind though.

P.S. Excuse my ridiculous faces... not everyone can be photogenic. haha thanks.

BEHOLD!! THE PEA FIELD!!

THIS is the pea field.

Today it was 100+ degrees outside... and the crew had to do the following under the hot sun:

1) Pull pea plants

2) Bundle pea plants

3) Take pea plants over to "viner"

4) Put the peas that come out into the "blower"

5) Wash the peas


6) Weigh the peas

7) Find sieve size

8) Put peas into the "tenderometer"

9) Throw out remaining peas.


10) REPEAT.

Sounds like the most exciting pea field researcher/analysist job in the world huh??? haha
These are the good days though. Sometimes the peas aren't ready to be harvested and instead of doing Strain tests (the above procedure) we HOE.

Unless you're Morgan.

Haha JK MORGAN!!:)

Basically that's it. Other than that we take pictures of our dirtyness, eat, and swim in the canals. IT'S FABULOUS.

Yay Pea Field!!
