You are one of my favorite places ever. I got to visit you earlier this week, and when I drove out of Sardine and beheld your beauty, a smile crept onto my face and would not leave. Literally. I couldn't get it to stop even when my cheeks started to hurt and I tried.
I didn't do anything supremely phenomenal while I was visiting. Well, ok, ok, hanging out with any of the Musketeers is always phenomenal -- but I was so happy doing unphenomenal things with truly phenomenal people whom I happen to love dearly. My stomach was sore for nearly two days after just because I laughed so hard and so genuinely while I was visiting you. Thanks for being such a beautiful place.
I shall be looking forward in hopeful anticipation until the next time I am able to grace you with my presence.
With all my heart,
Krystal

Summer Fun
I have been awake for the past.... 17 hours maybe? And I only got three and a half hours of sleep last night. Therefore: I am very tired and what I type may not make sense. Just to warn you.
Therefore #2: I have gotten myself all ready for bed, and was about to crawl under my covers... ( I know right, me going to bed at 8 o'clock at night... crazy but true ) when I remembered that my Mommy was going to help me fix a yucky ingrown toenail that I happen to have. I tried to fix it myself a few days ago, but it still is yucky... anyways. So I came up the stairs, and asked her what I should do. My parents ordered a good 30-45 minute soak in salt water for my feet. So now I'm sitting here with my feet all toasty and being massaged in the nice foot massage bath my Mom happens to have, and wishing desperately that I were in bed with my eyes closed instead. At least I'm not running around I guess...
But anyways. Since I am sitting here trying to kill half an hour I decided that it was well past time to revisit my blog. And what better to blog about than vacation! (At least I think that is more interesting than an ingrown toenail...)
Bear Lake is one of my favorite places ever! Spending the whole week up there with my family and Bennett was lots and lots of fun. I think every single one of my family members threw in a marriage comment somehow--- which made things more interesting. We got to go canoeing one day, which I recommend except if you are allergic to mosquitos. I managed to avoid a sunburn for the week! Wahoo! We got in some good banana rides, and I taught Bennett a thing or two about how to have fun on a wave runner. Overall I think that it was a fantastic success of a vacation! And now I think that instead of trying to tell you about the whole week, I will post a few pictures so that you can experience a bit of it visually :D

BEAR LAKE!!
Bear Lake is probably one of my favorite places in this world. I went up there with my family (to the sweet green beach house) and played around. It was competely wonderful!
This is my Grandpa Cook. He helped us build a fire to roast marshmallows, and only singed about a foot of grass in the process :)
This is when I caught Bennett and Christina (Yes: they came with me! it was sooo much fun having them along. Anyways....) holding hands. Not really, but the picture sure looks like it- tee hee. So I posted this one on facebook along with an interesting comment - hope they don't get in too much trouble!
This was a sweet banana ride. The Banana tube is probably one of my favorite things of all time. My Dad is on the front - trying to egg Uncle Dave off. He did a pretty good job because we got dumped off a lot.
This was the three of us going out on the wave runner. I got us out a little ways, and then slowed down so that Bennett could drive- I slowed down and turned too fast though, did a sweet 360, and flipped the wave runner. I have never done that before in my life- I was worried that I traumatized poor Christina. But she said she was fine :)
Besides wave-running, and tubing, I also managed to do a little bit of wake boarding. More than I've ever done before- even to the point of managing to get outside of the wake. I was very proud of myself. I got a great sunburn, spent some time with Jonathan before he goes on his mission, and also got to know Bennett and Christina better. My family all said that they loved both of them, and I was very glad for that. Bennett lived through the crazy comments that my family couldn't refrain from making about 'the boy' I brought.
