Havasupai Falls

I have been meaning to post this for quite some time but the summer has just come and gone so fast. Back in June Aaron had the honor of going with my family to Havasupai Falls on the Havasupai Indian Reservation in Arizona. It’s an 8 mile hike from the trailhead to the villiage and 2 more miles down to the campground where there are the most beautiful waterfalls and turqoise blue water. I really wanted to go but spouses are NOT ALLOWED so I let Aaron go on the Hardy adventure. Here are some pictures of their fun trip!

After the hike into the Havasupai villiage, they were so tired

This is how they slept under the hot +100 degree Arizona sun

Well worth the hike, Beautiful Falls

Jumping into the falls

Whoops, not suppose to be jumping into the falls

Yellow Stone

This past weekend I got to take my first trip to see Yellow Stone. I know, I know I live in Utah and I have never been to OLD FAITHFUL. I think growing up if there was not a Marriott Hotel for my mom to stay at we didnt go there. We traveled with our good friends Heather and Ryan, which are so fun and easy to travel with. We got to stay in Island Park at Ryan’s grandparents cabin. The cabin came with all the amenities: Hot Tub, Four Wheelers, and a bed to sleep on. We left on Thursday night and got home on Sunday. Here are some pictures of our trip!

Friday we went around Yellow Stone

Saturday we played at the cabin...

Went Horse Back Riding

We went 4 Wheeling around Island Park

We Chilled at the Cabin, played horse shoes and had a BBQ

And what's better than finishing our day with HOT TUBING

Heather and Ryan are so much fun to travel with, thanks for the good memories!

Welcome to Spokane

This past weekend Aaron and i went up to his home town Spokane, WA to see his family. It was a weekend trip but we got a lot done in the time we were there. Here are some pictures of our trip.

One of the main reason we went to Spokane was to visit Aaron cute Grandparents the Godfrey's. Dale had just got a knee replacement earlier that week so we went to visit him in the hospital.

Aaron and I went down to Las Vegas for my Birthday! My Birthday was on a Friday this year so we took advantage and did a weekend trip. Our departing flight was Thursday night and I wanted to arrive at the airport with enough time so that I would not be stressed and maybe eat a cinnabon while we waited. We arrived at the airport to check in our luggage and the Delta worker informed me that my license was going to expire the next day and that I could not use that form of ID on our return flight. She said that I needed another form of government ID. At this point I could picture my passport sitting on my nightstand safely at HOME. My stomached dropped and the feeling of anxiety came over me. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 5:05 pm and it was 4:05 pm. Yikes! that’s not enough time to run home our car was already parked at Diamond airport parking. 4:09 pm I called my mom and told her the story and I could start to feel the tears fill up in my eyes. She was already on the road heading towards Bountiful and knew Aleisha had a key to my house with her at Woods Cross High School. Kim the amazing mom that she is, booked it to the school got my key then went to my house, found my passport and drove it to the airport to give to me. My mom pulled up to the airport at 4:37 pm (not that I was watching the clock or anything) and handed over my passport. Aaron and I ran through the airport and made it to the gate just as they were about to close the airplane door, we made it! This was a lesson learned and I will never let that happen again.
Vegas was so much fun. There is always so much to do there and it was so nice to be away for the weekend! Aaron was amazing to me and made sure that I felt special on my birthday weekend.

There was a TV in the Bathroom, Luxury!

Aaron took me shopping at the outlets malls in Vegas on my Birthday and surprised me by letting me pick out a Kate Spade Purse!!! This is something I have been obsessing over for along time!

Aaron had never been to the Hoover Dam so we took a trip 30 miles from Vegas to see the site. We came around a corner and saw that they were building a bridge that went over the dam. It was Amazing!
