Mexican Rivera Cruise

The beginning of September Jason and I got to go on a Mexican Rivera cruise with his parents! It was my first cruise and it was so much fun! Jason and his parents have been on lots of cruises so they got to show me how it goes down.

Summer Nights...

After work on Saturday Jason and I went up Hope campgrounds, up by Squaw Peak to spend our evening. We found our camping spot, then went and hunted down some wood to make our fire. That was a pain and a half, Jason ended up with some scratches on his hands and by his eye trying to chop it all in half.
We brought our own little grill, cooked us up some chicken and baked beans; quite the camping meal... Luckily, Jason has turned out to be quite the camping/mountain hero (only because of his Mesa friends that taught him well...) The camp fire took us a while to get going, I think we used enough napkins to get it started...Hopefully next time it could all come with a little more ease.......

Sacramento

A couple weeks ago Jason and I drove out to Sacramento to visit his fam! We drove all Saturday night and finally arrived there at about 4 in the morning! My brother moved to San Jose area with his family a couple of months ago so him and his family were able to come to Sacramento to see us and stay the night at the Ivancich's house. It was so good to see them and have fun hanging out by the pool with them!
On Monday, which was the 4th of July, we drove to San Fran to see Jason's aunts, uncles, and cousins. We had fun lighting fireworks and hanging out with the extended family. While we were there we were able to go to a Giants game. It was mormon night, so it was funny to see the missionaries sing the National Anthem.
And of course while we were there we had to make a little pit stop at the casino to do a little gambling. I didn't gamble because the blackjack tables minimum bet was $10. Jason played though and hurry and won $40 so we called it a night.
Sacramento was lots of fun and I can't wait until we go back!

Giddy Up!

We went to the Strawberry Days Rodeo with our friends and had lots of fun! My personal favorite part was when all the little kids got into the rodeo ring and chased around 2 calves that had dollar bills taped to their backs. It was hilarious!

Summa Time

Jason and I got to go to the pool for the first time this summer!


But we obviously weren't prepared so we ended up looking like this...



Ouch! Mine is already starting to heal and the redness has gone down a lot, but Jason still looks like a lobster!

After we went swimming on Saturday we went back to the summer fest to meet up with some friends and watch the fireworks! We had Casey's scooter for the day so we had lots of fun crusin on that in the warm summer evening :) We are thinking about buying a scooter for our selves. They are so fun to ride on and the gas is so dang cheap!
