Summer Update

So we went on vacation. to Oregon. And! I have some pictures i'd like to share. yeah, weird right? usually i just go on and on about something and never give any kind of visual except with my incredible ability to employ imagery. jk. anyway... here's an over-view of vacation-ness.




This is our third floor. yeah. 3 floors. a lot of stairs = a lot of fun (minus the walking up them...) this is the full sized kitchen and behind that pillar is a huge tv and out those doors is a balcony overlooking the ocean. yes. and that couch was comfy too.



This is the hot tub that was on the second floor balcony. It was outside my parent's room and it was a great thing cuz it was cold outside a lot and we were warm. and stuff? yeah. awesome. Also, that is the ocean. coooool.
We went to Crater Lake. Basically, it was a big tourist trap and we climbed like 7-10 feet of snow (all the while praying we weren't gonna fall through and die) to actually see it. pretty blue, though.


We went crabbing the third day we were at the townhouse and it was great. We caught TONS of crab. none that we could keep... but the guy was nice enough to give us one to start out with. then we bought some, cooked them at the marina, took them home, and dissected their delicious crab meat (Cloak reference!*). Also, i put my gnome next to it because that's what people with gnomes do. right? yeah.


Anyway, it was cool and fun and relaxing and great. I bought a cool rope bracelet from Cape Dissappointment (i know, right?), a cool anklet from Cape Foulweather (again, I know, right?) and a mood necklace and a henna kit from Flamingo Jim's. And i got some fun memories, yo. and that's all that matters. (what? yeah. anyway...)


*midpost notice! The Cloak is just a thing i watched a lot in jh and i had to throw a reference in with the crab meat. i might've also said "Meet me at the peer at midnight. We can stare into the ocean one last time." but i didn't. till now. also, i'm sorry if you're offended. i didn't make it, i just like to quote the funny things. yeah.*


Oh. and we stayed in Nevada one night and our hotel room was a nightmare. Seriously, we could've been murdered in our beds. or burned alive because our smoke alarm was hanging by a thread, literally. here is a picture. And i guess gnomes look good next to health hazards as well as crab? go figure.

So, anyway. It was great. then this week Abby was at EFY so i did some other stuff. like computer games and driving around and i did a thing for Relief Society and hung out with Maggie. So it was great and stuff. Summer rocks.

love, ellen.
