We can't catch a fish, but we've got doggy paddle boarding down




Derek had been aching to go camping,
Cole wanted to catch some fish,
and Tundra and I just felt like tagging along.
So we drove up to the Jordanelle Reservoir,
hitch a tent, and threw some lines out into the lake. 

Tundra always insists on driving
Yes, we got a little lost...
I found my favorite caterpillar ever!! He is totally Southwest style!



It was really nice
just hanging out by the lake
eating firecrackers. (Best cracker mix ever)



It is very possible that we did not catch one, tiny fish
in the 2ish hours we were out there. 
Cole was bummed. 

Besties!
We decided to be super fatties 
and have breakfast in Heber 
at this little mom and pop place
called Chick's Cafe


Seriously... we were DISGUSTING!

Homemade scones.... we had too!

Driving back to camp
we found this weird hill that you can drive up
It turned out to be some sort of memorial
It was pretty neat. 


Then we went 
PADLDLEBOARDING!!
It was my first time
and it was a ton of fun
but It was a super windy day
so it was actually quit difficult and tiring


Tundra is a natural

I had a hell of a time just getting that board over into the water
They seriously blow over and knock you around. 

Tundra was pretty ridiculous out there!! 
He would constantly be changing people 
because he was scared that we were in danger.
It was adorable
but super annoying


This is a pretty great series shot of Tundra trying to get up himself. 
I had made it the entire 1-2 hours without falling in the water
and on our way back in for the last time
Tundra jumps off and knocks me off the board
Jerk!

Paddle boarding is super fun!
I want to try it some other time when it is less windy. 
I got stuck out in the water for such a long time
just paddling as hard as I could.
I thought that I was possibly going to have to call out for help. 
Ha! That would have been embarrassing

Chalk Fest




Der and I were in the middle of date
in which we ended up having a little extra time to kill.
So we walked over to the Gateway Mall to walk around.
To our surprise...
we found that a Chalk Festival was going on!
It was really fun to see. 
I never in a million years would have guessed that so many people out there 
were so talented at sidewalk chalk art
It was unbelievable!

Just a little taste...... and by taste, I mean... pretty much everything I saw! 
It was just too hard not to take pictures of them all. 


One of my favorites!! 
Better than a photo!! 

Of course, I had to call Kris over to see!! 
And we played at the fountain for a bit.




I really do love the Gateway Mall. 
I hope that it can keep up business with the big bad wolf (City Creek)
breathing down it's neck. 
I guess we will see. 
At least they have the movie theater!







Daughter, the Devastatingly Darling



Dear Elena Tonra,

 Can we keep you?



Before this concert
we already knew how much we loved Daughter
But during this concert
We completely fell in love with her

As always at Urban Lounge, we had plenty enough time to kill before Dear Daughter came on, so... we took silly pictures


Have you ever been to a concert where you just feel like you want to be friends with this person so bad?
That is how we felt about Elena.
She had the sweetest personality
She would grin so genuinely every time we sang the lyrics to her songs
It was like she felt as privileged to be singing for us
as we felt to be listening to her


Landfill

Scott and Chelsey
are totally our new concert buddies!


This is just Daughter rocking out... no big deal...


Ha ha! This picture kills me!
The funny part is that, contrary to what you may think, I didn't take the picture..


After we went to the concert
my dad saw our instagram on Facebook
So he went and listened to Daughter

He instantly fell in love with her
just like us.
I told him he needs to go see her in concert,
it's a whole different experience.
