Vancouver Trip

Ok get ready for a PICTURE OVERLOAD! I had so much fun on our trip to Vancouver that I wanted to post pictures from everything!

The first day we were there, we spent the morning at the temple. That afternoon a large group of us went on a jet boat ride. I highly recommend it to anyone who is in Portland, we had a ton of fun. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, except I knew they were boats that went really fast. It says on their website that you may get wet. I thought people in the front or on the sides might get a 'little' wet.... but they're serious. We all got SOAKED! They call them jet boats for a reason.

Here is the group that went. Some of my family, my uncle Rick's family, and Grandma Mom. (yes, my Grandma is so cool and braved the water!)

Here are what the jetboats looked like. They crammed 60 people onto these, so I thought how fast and crazy can they go, right? Wrong. He would get going up to 50 MPH and then all of the sudden pull a 360. Thats when we got soaked. Or, he'd go really fast and then suddenly stop causing a wave of water of come over the front of the boat. It was SO much fun!This is my Uncle Rick, Courtney, Micah, and Aunt Cathy. They came down from Seattle and it was so much fun to have them there. They're always fun to hang out with, they are crazy card players!!

Dad, Cam, and Nick- after getting a little wet. Good thing it was HOT that day, it felt really nice! For some reason their side of the boat always got it worse.

The coolest Grandma ever! Too bad the poncho didn't help too much....

Me and Jonny....

After the ride, still smiling.

That night we had a big family/friend BBQ. It was the night before the wedding. We also celebrated Kris and Jonny's birthdays!

Family getting yummy food.....

Grandma Mom with 2 of her great grandchildren.

Mom and Jordan jumping on the tramp. He was so excited to put this up. It brought back a lot of memories from when I was younger. Jordan was so funny and we had such a good time showing each other our tricks on the tramp. He was SO brave by the end of the trip! I think I know what Santa needs to bring Jordan......

Jonny had to leave on Sunday to go back to Chicago :( Dang that work. But I was lucky enough to spend a few extra days at home with my family. I loved it so much. One day we went to Mt. St. Helens.... here is one picture. I didn't take much there. It was SO SO SO hot that day and I forgot how long of a drive (on windy roads) it is to get there. I hate being in the car... but I'm still glad I went.

It got SO hot the last few days there. It was a serious heat wave and broke lots of records. A lot of people don't have AC there because you don't usually need it, including the Boyle's. So we spent a lot of time out in the back yard, having waterfights and throwing water balloons. My Mom has a little kid pool in the back that she soaks her feet in. It was actually very nice to have when it got hot :)
Notice my mom and I are the only ones NOT in swimming suits.... we had just got home from the store when we got attacked by the boys. But I didn't even care, it was SO hot and felt SO nice.

MY FIRST TIME GOLFING! ever! and I really liked it, I told Jonny that I found a new hobby. My mom has started going every week with some friends, so I was excited to try it myself. My mom, Dad, Kris and I went. We went early in the morning, but it was already really hot by the time we finished 9 holes. I didn't do great, but not too bad for my first time. I think i got 65 or something. I'm excited to go again sometime.

Dad golfing. He was nice enough to carry my clubs for me too!

GOAL! HA I know thats not what you say..... but you know what I mean.Mom... hole in two...

Relaxing in the shade...

Kris showing his skills.
