Back from the Great Bear Lake!

hello all! i am back!
these past couple of days were quite the adventure and i seriously had so much fun! so, i am just going to give you a quick overview of the trip and some highlights--enjoy!

okay, so our first day we all loaded up between a couple of mini vans and a mini bus. i got to ride the mini bus, and sat by my good friend sam. :) 





me and sam on the mini bus!

we got to the "usu bear lake training center" around 2 and then practiced/ learned a few new routines until 6 pm. lets just say we were all exhausted!  but, it did help that we were practicing on a huge deck overlooking the lake. it was a beautiful view.



see what i mean!

after practice we were all so tired and ready for some din din! i really did try to eat healthy during the trip, but then again i was on vacation and i am totally okay with splurging a little then.  it is important to find that balance, you know?  a little unhealthy eating is okay every once in awhile. it only becomes a real problem when your physicality is effected by it in a negative way.




here is what was for dinner the first night! lasagna (AMAZING btw), garlic bread, a tossed salad with lite dressing, and fruit salad.  i was seriously so hungry after practicing all day, and this meal tasted as if it was from the Gods!

that night we had a couple of get to know you games and then went over the contract and calender for the upcoming school year. it was very informative, but afterwards we were all ready for some raspberry shakes! oh my goodness those shakes were good! i don't know how i can seem to forget how amazing they are but i do, every time! i split a shake with my two besties Jordan and Sam. we got raspberry-peanut butter. yummmm.


day two started out with a great breakfast and then a 30 minute yoga session led by me, out on the grass. i have never led a yoga class before, but i have been to plenty myself and i did take it in high school so i remember a few moves and poses. it actually turned out much better than i thought it would and everyone really enjoyed it. it was the perfect temperature outside and the view was to die for!


see what i mean?! absolutely gorgeous!


after yoga we practiced a little more and then it was time for boating! i wasn't really thinking and didn't bring my phone or my camera so i don't have any pictures of us boating! i  promise i will get better! but, i did wake surf, and wakeboard for my first time ever and it was great! it was also quite the workout. i had a blast!

we got back later on friday and then saturday i had to be at the family fun day working the dunk tank! it was a fun afternoon and i can't tell you how many times those cute kiddies dunked me!



just waiting to get dunked! (and yes i know it looks like i have man shoulders, i promise i don't though! haha)


those of us that did the dunk tank...and big blue! :)

later saturday afternoon i went grocery shopping and found quite the prize :) a big bag of frozen california style veggies for just $6! whoot whoot!


yu-mmy! 

after grocery shopping and the dunk tank i had a pep rally on saturday night for students in on campus housing. it went really well, and it felt great to be in front of a crowd again. i can't wait till games start up. i am really enjoying aggiettes a lot more the second time around. it is going to be a great year.

what did you do this weekend?

thanks for reading!
