Holy Big Camel!

the 4th of july parade in eager is so hilarious! who would even think to put camels in a parade in northern arizona?!


the parade was seriously really funny this year! my next favorite thing was...


this bull ran out into the crowd of all these little kids! it was so freaking funny!

and last, but certainly not least...


are there any words that can describe this float except for... AMAZING! if i had a ranch, i would name it something awesome like that! haha!

ok... back to the beginning. the cabin was fun... sometimes dramatic... but still fun. dad, mom, austin and i drove up early wednesday morning. (we made it in exactly 5 hours!) wednesday we just hung out... nothing incredibly exciting. thursday morning some of us woke up early and went fishing. i caught a couple fish but grandma caught like 20!

later that day we went . the highlight of the trip! we had some gallons of water to shoot at and i wanted to shoot one before all the boys did... i don't remember what gun i had at that point but it didn't have a scope... just open sights. well we put the gallons of water up on the hill about a hundred yards away. all the guys were talking about how even they probably couldn't hit one of the gallons. well... i took it slow... didn't rush... and what do you know... BANG!! i got it! some of the other guys got the other two but they had scopes... i did not! woot woot! dad called it the shot of the week! i was so happy!

meantime, i was burning to a crisp! i was wearing a t-shirt so from like the middle of my upper arm all the way down to my fingertips i am so incredibly burned! it's been a few days so it's alot better but holy crap it hurt! i even got burned in my elbow pit! it hurts so bad! anyway... the rest of the time was fun. fishing, , quading, making s'mores, spotlighting in the rain... good times!

Well the boys weren't very impressive so it wasn't hard to outshoot them. It was Lorin and Will and Austin and a few friends of someone that I didn't know. It really was the highlight of the trip!
