EFY 2011

This Summer, I went to a youth camp type of thing called EFY, or, Especially for Youth. It was super fun, and a really good experience. I gained a stronger testimony of the scriptures, and I made a lot of new friends! While I was there, I also met up with some friends from home, it was super duper awesome to see them! I went to EFY at BYU Provo. I LOVE staying on campus! I plan on going to BYU Provo or Idaho in 2 or 3 years, and I love the experience of staying there. I went to EFY at BYU Provo last year as well, but I went with my cousin Franklin. (who is awesome) This year I flew to Utah by myself, and my cousins picked me up from the airport. I stayed with them for a night then went off to EFY! I didn't know anyone in the group, including my room mate, but it was ok because everyone was nice! It was super awesome and I am glad I could go!

Here are some pictures from while I was there:


This was on the first day of EFY when my cousins were dropping me off. I was excited!


Here are all the girls in my group. They were all really nice!


My room-mate Mallory and I. Mallory is from Washington, and was really nice! I had never met her before, or anyone else in my group. It was fun to get to know so many different people!


This was the whole group. We ate together, and did all of our activities together for the whole week. They were all really interesting!


This picture is of Marianne, Emma, and I. Marianne and Emma go to my once a week school, and we didn't even plan to go to EFY the same week! I was soooooo glad they were there, it was really nice to see them.he first day of EFY, when my cousins were dropping me off. I was excited!

Utah Snow

Lots and lots of snow!!!



Me shovling snow. It was actually suprisingly hard, snow is heavy!

One of our favorite days was when we went to BYU and visited the Bean Museum. We took lots and lots of crazy and fun pictures!





We had a lot of fun aligning our head with antlers and horns of animals in the museum. The pictures turned out pretty cool!!!





Since we were in Utah for New Years Eve, my cousin Franklin and I went to a New Years Eve dance! It was super fun, and it was neat because I went to my first ever church youth dance (which was also a new years eve dance) with her.

Some home-school family friends were in the same area of Utah as my family, so my friend Kraig went with Franklin and I to the dance. That made it extra fun. :) Here we are, we all look like we are the same hight.


Haha, nope! Kraig and Franklin are waaaaay taller then me, but I don't mind tooooo much. ;)

My family and my Great-Grandpa Rogers. He will be turning 99 in June! We visit him pretty much every year, and I think we all enjoy each visit. He has many childern, grand childern and great-grand childern, and we all love him very much.

Saturday, July 3rd. Left for Utah!

Saturday started out with going to our stakes Independence Day celebration. It was lasted about an hour, and it was our stake choir singing different patriotic songs. It was really good! After it finished, there were muffins and fruit to eat, and my mom and I stayed an extra hour talking to friends. When we got home, we finished packing, then off to Utah at about 12 noon. We dropped off our dogs at the dog kennel, then off we went! It was a long, long ride from my house to St. George, but we made it there safely (and without any form of tv whatsoever)

Here are some thing we saw in the car:

We saw lot and lots of mountains.

My awesome new shoes.

More rocks/mountains

This is such a weird name for a road!

A castle.


A tower

A pyramid.

I really liked the look of this mesa, I thought it was supper pretty.

That evening we arived in St. George and we went to... Cracker Barrel!!! Yum! This is my familys favorite restraunt ever,and we go everytime we go to Utah. We usually go to dinner the night we arive in St. George, then the next morning before we countinue travling. It is the best!


After dinner we went back to the hotel, hung out, then went to bed. It was a good day as far as traveling went!
