Christmas Vacation of 2013!




I have just returned from an awesome winter vacaion to Utah where my family lives. Our family hasn't been to utah during the summer for about 9 year, since we ussually go every other summer. So I was very excited. We always drive to Utah which is about 24 hours! Our first stop was my Aunt Shannon's who lives in what used to be my grandma's house and is the same house my mom and her family lived in for all of their childhood. It used to be in the midle of a feild but now there is a nieghborhood on one side and an elementary school on the other. 

I had lots of fun with my cousins, and since I'm older i was able to connect better with my older cousins and uncles. One of my Uncles that I thought was shy turned out to be a clown and trickstir. He scared me at night, shoved food in my face and once put me out in  the snow in my Pjs. My other uncle who's 23, we competed at Just Dance and had fun. 

I also got to go snowboarding for the first time! That was super fun! It was fun to plow or carve down hills and through the snow, but it hurt Alot. It was lso kind of scary, becaue one time I was on a mountain and  would keep falling forward hard and hitting my head and stomach hard, and i freaked out. I said i couldnt finish and started crying. But my dad and uncle helped me get through it. I went really slow and started to forget my fear and then i did a very unSadie like thing, i wanted to try again, by myself! And i did it!!


Our second stop was St. George Utah where we would have a picture family reunion! It was so beautiful in St. George with the canyons! We went hiking and got family pictures in the red rocks. My brother and cousin tried to get acrossed an icey pond which was entertaining;)



We also looked at old pictures of the families and drew a family tree with each person!

I was sick for most of the rest of the trip but i still loved it and cant wait till next time!!!:-)
