August 9th-22nd
These past two weeks have been spent camping at Hecla Island. We had an awesome time, even though the weather was on the fridged side. Mom, dad, and I headed up on Tuesday and spent the next two days biking and just relaxing in the camper. On Friday Kevin and Mandy (my dad used to work with Kevin) came to join us for three days. It was nice to see them again after so long. Kevin is quite the funny guy. Darcy also came up on Friday, and after getting him moved into the tent we were talking when we all of a sudden heard a weird noise. We didn't think too much of it but I asked out of curiosity if that sounded like a baby?! I got up and looked out the tent door to see none other than my sister Amber, her husband Erik, and Hailey standing there. They had planned to come up the next day, but only if Erik didn't have to work. It was such a nice surprise and we had a lot of fun with them biking and playing games. Sunday Darcy and Erik packed up and headed back to work on Monday. Luckily Amber and Hailey could stay for a few more days!!! My brother Tyler then came up on Monday and again there was a lot of biking done! Hecla is known for not being the most entertaining place on earth but there is biking, biking, and more biking. There are so many beautiful trails and paths that you can explore. I can honestly say I never got boared the whole time I was there. Uncle Jerry, Auntie Renee and the kids also came up for a few days and it was nice to get to know there family better and to go fishing with them. Tyler and I came home Wednesday and I later went back up with Uncle Mike and Auntie Martha on Saturday until Monday. I guess staying for two weeks was too long for me not to see Darcy. Friday we went to Kelsey's and watched a movie and hung out with some of our friends. It was good to see everyone again! It felt like I had been away forever already. Although camping was so much fun and relaxing I missed home. Something about being so far away and knowing you can't see your boyfriend, neice, sister, and rest of your friends and family makes you miss them even more. Now that I am back home things will return to normal and I jump into a six day work week. I know that I shouldn't complain but being on holidays for two weeks makes it hard to go back to work...benefits of work do include that Amber, Hailey, and I are going shopping tomorrow and we all know that I love to buy clothes!!!
