Photos from Ceder City..

The Shakespearean Festival...

Every year the Johns family goes to the Shakespearean Festival in Ceder City. Papa Johns always buys the tickets 1 yr in advance because we always sit front row, right in the center! Which is great! I really look forward to going. I love going and getting to spend some time with the fam and the plays are amazing. On thursday we drove there and that night we saw "The Two Gentlemen of Verona". Friday we headed out to St. George to the outlets and mall to do some shopping. That night we saw "Cyrano de Bergerac". The main actor Brian Vaughn did an excellent job. Chris and I both agree that this was our favorite play this year. Then the last day we went to Navajo Lake then Ceder Breaks and then through Brian Head. It was so pretty out there! The best part of the day was when Chris was at a look out taking some pictures and I was getting tired of waiting so i sat down at a little rock wall just behind him. To the side of me there was this cute little french family just looking at the scenery. I suddenly looked up at chris and noticed that his shorts were ripped pretty much through the whole butt area. I was cracking up! So funny.. So I went and told Chris and I am sure that family thought we were crazy cause we both just were laughing so hard! I have no idea how he pulled it off to get that big of a tear, and even better how long had it been that way and how many people had seen it! I loved it. Then to finish off the day we saw "The Taming of the Shrew". Very funny. They did it in a 1940 setting so it was kinda fun to have something a little different. Thank you so much Papa Johns and Becky for such a great trip! The slide show is up above...

4th of July!

I know.. I haven't posted in a really long time! So here is our 4th of July like 3 weeks later :) Chris had the day off so we got to play all day! We started out at the North Ogden Parade and caught otter pops and lots of candy. We were expecting it to be super hot but the clouds ended up coming to our rescue for pretty much the whole parade. We then got ready to go to my families bbq and I decided that fruit pizza sounded good so i pushed the cookie crust part into the bottom of the pan and went to put it into to oven. Well in our apartment we don't have a full size oven( very annoying). So Chris had this idea to prop it up on another pan so that we could close up the oven a little better. Perfect, problem solved. Until i smell a little burning scent. I open up the oven and the cookie crust was sliding out the other end of the pan! So i grabbed it out and tried to mold it back into a normal crust. It didn't look good, thank goodness nobody sees that part! It still tasted great! We then watched some of the Weber Fireworks from a distance and then we decided to try and haul our love sac to my parents house to watch some fireworks they were going to set off! We have this utility cover that we have never used so it was fun to be able to take our love sac outside! The only problem was trying to get it on the car.. but of course Chris found a way and it worked! We passed like 5 cops and i couldn't believe we didn't get pulled over!

AFCU Lagoon Day


This last Sat. was america first lagoon day. So we got in for 5.00 each which is a steal with how crazy expensive it is now! So thank you AFCU! Here Chris & I are at Lagoon and as you can see we are in the parking lot... I think we spent almost the same amount of time driving and walking into the park as we did in the park:) That my be a bit over exaggerated but we didn't stay long. We rode all the rides we wanted and had dinner there so it was just perfect. I always forget how HOT it gets when you are just running around from ride to ride. I was also very amazed at the "interesting" people that are there.. everywhere! I don't know if it has just changed since I was little or now I just notice more stuff but Lagoon was way more exciting when i was little. Not saying I didn't have fun, but I much rather just go to Disneyland!:) (I have been to spoiled with the many trips to Disney)
