Utah summer trip 2014 day: 1-3

I am Amara and this is my blog.
       While I am in Utah for the next three weeks I am staying with my aunt, Jody. Although I am staying with her I drove up here with my Grandparents and my cousin in their Motor Home. The drive was SO long but once we arrived I knew it was worth it! Right as we arrived in Utah it was early in the morning so we decided to get some breakfast at a restaurant called "Dees". We invited almost the whole family! I got to see SO many of my family members that I haven't seen in YEARS!!! My aunt Jody was there too! Once all of us were done eating I went with my Aunt to go to my Grandparents house to go clean!! I couldn't believe that my first day in Utah was being spent cleaning!! We were there for a couple of hours and cleaned ALOT!! Since we had been cleaning so much, when we were done me and my Aunt and my Uncle (her husband, obviously) went home to rest. My Aunt went into her room to take a nap and I went into the living room and watched some T.V. and read what is now my favorite book EVER, The Fault In Our Stars!!! That day was the fourth of July so we went to Fireworks at the park with a new friend that I met and her name is Lee! We also went with another family that is living in my Aunt's basement! I know that, that sounds VERY weird but my Aunts basement is pretty much just another house! Anyways, as soon as we got to the park for the Fireworks, we sat right by my Uncle Chris and my Aunt Michelle. since we were there pretty early there were only a small amount of Fireworks and some music. Once it got to be a little later we sang the national anthem and then there were ALOT of Fireworks and they were so beautiful but they were also really loud! there were a few songs playing in the back round and one I thought was pretty clever for the 4th of July was ''Firework''  by Katy Perry and that was fun to listen to! By the time it was over it was about 11:30 or so and we all waited a few minutes for the traffic to calm down and then right as we were walking out there was this HUGE gust of wind and all of the caution strips were blowing off and all of the dirt and leaves were blowing at us and I could barely see! Once we FINALLY made it to the car we drove home and once we got there all of us just basically passed out! Since I came out to Utah earlier than I was supposed to my Aunt hadn't gotten my room ready yet so I had to sleep on the couch but, staying positive, I knew it was better than the floor.
        Since I only started blogging today but I have been here for three days I am going to do all three days I've been in Utah!
        day:2 (Saturday)
      Saturday we all woke up and I started to read my book in their nice massaging chair while listening to music to get me focused on my book, I know most people don't listen to music while reading but it helps me because I can tune out everyone else and just read. Later that day we drove up the Mountains and it took us like in hour just driving! I got very frightened because there is no railing so if your car is pushed to the side, that's it. Your done. and once we reached I think 80,000 ft. we stopped and parked right by a lake that we wanted to walk around. The lake wasn't anything special so we went up a little farther and saw another lake, that lake was boring and small so we kept walking and tried to find out how some other people got up there, succeeded to get up there! After a few minutes we managed to find our way and saw some other people SWIMMING in this disgusting dirty lake!! One of the few people that were up there showed us a salamander and it was very interesting to look at but DISGUSTING  to hold! It was slimy and gross and I was freaking out and almost threw it! there were more in the lake but 1 was just too many for me!!! After being both disgusted and disturbed we headed back down and there were SO many moths that I eventually just started running! Finally when we had reached the car we got in and drove back down. When we arrived at home we decided to do some arts and crafts with the family that lived in my Aunts Basement and we made some flowers out of tissue paper!!! The flowers actually looked VERY cool and I would definitely use them for decoration and things like that. After that my Uncle Dave brought in some pizza and we ate. Once we were done eating we all went to bed.
   day:3 (Sunday)
    Today we woke up and we were to late to go to church so we waited until 10:30 and we went to Temple Square which just has some interesting things about the after-life and there were these very nice missionaries that gave us a tour and it was all so beautiful and that took about an hour and 1/2 or so and then we came over to my grandparents house and I ate lunch and then my aunt left and I set up my blog and started typing and I guess now I'll just see where the day takes me and Utah time it is 3:41pm so I don't have much time in the day left but I will be blogging everyday!!
BYE!!
