Brian Head and Bear Lake


This weekend we hit both ends of the state with two family reunions and were able to enjoy the scenic drive through central Utah twice! My family gathered in Brian Head for some Shakespeare, hiking, and pool-playing at the ginormous cabin we stayed in. We saw "Two Gentlemen of Verona" in Cedar City, which was entertaining, but didn't make my Shakespeare-favorites list, and Brody stayed awake through the whole thing - I was so proud! Then we were off Bear Lake with Brody's family (for some reason we didn't take any pictures of that, so you'll have to take my word for it). The water was surprisingly pleasant and the jet-skis were so fun! And of course we played some rousing card games. Overall, it was a LONG, but fun weekend.

311 at Usana

Snoop Dogg (notice the marijuana leaf?)

This girl was wearing booty shorts over her jeans???

311 doin their thang

So it finally arrived...the 311 concert which I had been waiting for since I bought tickets months ago. I went with my good friend Emma and we had a great time. I was surprised that Snoop Dogg was the other artist (I thought the music genres were pretty different) but I've always loved "Drop it Like its Hot!" I really did NOT like his part of the show though...he kept yelling obscenities and stuff about weed. So basically Emma and I just sat for a couple hours feeling uncomfortable and observing the weirdos around us (see picture above). 311 was AMAZING however. They sound EXACTLY the same live and played most of my favorite songs! We were having a great time singing along and dancing around, but I must've been dancing a little to wildly because I kept hitting my knees on the cup holders in front of me! I seriously have bruises now - my first concert wound.
