Castle of Chaos!

Our friends Lindsay and Devin, invited Rich and I to go to a haunted house with them this weekend. After changing our minds a couple times, we ended up going to "Castle of Chaos". It was way fun! They have three "events" you can chose from, and we decided to do all three. The first one was a 3-D haunted house, where even the actors had on 3-D make up. The second was Murder Mystery. On that one, you walk through rooms and try to find these cards to try and kill the Vampire Count. It was fun putting all of them together. Then the third was probably my favorite! It was another haunted house only it was different then any other one I have heard of before. They like lock you in a dark room and you touch the walls to try to find a door, and then someone screams, "Get on your knees!" So you have to crawl up this thing, and then you have to go threw this thing Devin called the Birth Canal. I have to other way to describe it other than that, it was crazy! I won't say anymore in case anyone ends up going to it, but it had lots of surprises! Then we went home and watched a scary movie. It was a fun night that got us in the mood for Halloween!

Cabin Fever

Rich and I went to my aunt Linda's cabin this weekend. It was kinda a last minute trip, but we had alot of fun! We planned on going for two nights, the first night at her house, and the second at the cabin. We had to leave SLC about 7, so it was pretty dark by the time we were going threw the canyon. We were between, Price and Castle Dale when we saw and almost hit 6 deer! They were just standing in the road, hanging out! Then a couple seconds after that we saw a group of about 15! Both of our stomachs dropped, and thank goodness we were almost there, because we drove so slow from there! Being in a small car, hitting a deer would have been bad news.

We chatted with Aunt Linda for a couple hours, and waited for my uncle Rick to be home from his poker night (usually home about 12). We went to bed about 12, and in the morning we found out that Rick had played till 2 am! Linda grounded him after that! ;)

We watched one of my cousin's son's play football, and shortly left for the cabin. It's about 30 minutes away, and by the time we got there I was dead tired, and I took a nap. I know I am lame! When I woke up Rich and I took a walk in the rain. Then we had dinner, ate WAY too much candy and watched a movie. Uncle Rick was tired and went to bed after the movie, wonder why? :) Linda stayed up and played KB with Rich and I. She hated it! It was so funny! She was just mad because I won! I went in the bathroom to get ready for bed, and when I came out aunt Linda was laying on her back on the ground. I asked her what she was doing, and she said, "ah just laying here." ha ha it ended up that she had tripped on one of the dog leashes, and she didn't want to get up. So she just chatted with us for awhile on the floor.

Today we taught Rich how to play Canasta. It was really fun. We lost track of time though and played from about 11 to 2. So we had to get going after that. We stopped in and chatted with my uncle Louis, and aunt Myra. Then it was like 5 by the time we left Price, so we really had to get going.

We had alot of fun hanging out with my dad's side of the family this weekend!

More Hiking

Yesterday Rich and I went hiking with one of my friends from work and her boyfriend, Lindsay, and Devin. We had planned on hiking Timp, but on the way to Devin's house they called and said that we had needed to get tickets earlier. So we decided to just go someplace kinda by Devin's house.
At first, there was a trail and uphill. It was harder than I expected, but not too bad. I thought, "I am in pretty good shape, I can handle it!" HA HA HA I could "handle" it, but it was really hard! After a little while, there was not even a trail. We hiked a few miles, my guess is about 5 of almost entirely steep up hill! I am really surprised now that I did it. I am kinda a whimp! We got to our turn around point and rested for a sec. (Standing up on a the side of the mountain. At least we were not moving!)
We turned around and then went the same way back... so steep DOWN hill hiking. We all slid a little down and Rich and Devin pretty much ran down, but Lindsay and I took it slow. When we got back to the car we had been gone almost 2 1/2 hours! It went by so fast! It was a lot of fun!
