An Annual Tradition

Aaron and I hiked Adam's Canyon right before I left for school. This is the 4th year we've done the hike and it is always followed by a trip to Costa Vida. It's a fun tradition.

Aaron wanted to capture my hair is blowing in the wind. Apparently he likes that?

Hiking Timp

Daniel and I decided that it would be fun to get together and hike Mount Timpanogos before school started. I was a little nervous that I wouldn't be able to keep up with him, it's a 15 mile hike! But I did ok; I only had to tell him to stop and rest just a couple times.
A picturesque waterfall at one of the many switchbacks on the hike.
We ate lunch and took a nice break up at the top of the mountain. It was pretty hard to get up and hike back down after resting.. I want to call search and rescue to come pick me up in a helicopter. But once we got going, I was fine again. All in all, it was a great hike!

The Briggs Reunion

We had a great time at the waterfront up at the Heber Valley Girls Camp. Annie and I thought the paddleboats looked fun... We were sorely disappointed. We got in our boat and started peddling like crazy - ready to go faster than anyone has ever gone, right? The missionary who helped us off said, "Whoa whoa whoa, slow down girls. It doesn't matter how fast you peddle, the boat goes the same speed." What?!? We were stuck in that thing for an hour, pretty much going backwards it was so slow. But we still managed to have a good time...
Our cute parents. Dad of course strikes a candid pose with his paddle in the air.
These are our "Ahoy mateys!" and "Land Ho!" faces. We had to entertain ourselves SOMEHOW since our boat was so slow...
I must say, we are quite comfortable with ourselves to post such silly pictures.

The Temple

I worked in Bountiful this summer just 5 minutes away from the temple. So one day Annie drove up and met me at the temple right after I got off work. We did baptisms together, it was really fun.

Back in May my Mom and Annie came down to Provo and played with me. We went to a museum, to some antique shops, to a cute little sandwich shop, then to the temple. We had so much fun together! None of us really love shopping, we've tried doing that before and no one ended up too happy. This was a great alternative!
This is my favorite picture ever. Me and my Mom in front of the temple = picture perfect!
