WOW! I am really bad at this! But I promise I'm going to try and keep this up now that I'm finally getting back into a schedule. So lately...Every year, our Grandma and Grandpa in Utah host an annual COUSINS CAMP! Every cousin 8 and older gets to come! Dave took this AWESOME picture for us!

This year started out as Calli, Abby, Zoe and I flew into Vegas on Monday and were suprised when Grandma brought the Neymans to come pick us up! Us girls spent the day at the M&M factory and eating lunch at SERENDIPITY (for Frrrrozen Hot Chocolate and my "2-foot" hot dog)!!!! We were also verrrrry lucky to pass a kiosk where Grandma bought us all (granddaughters) our Christmas presents! This kiosk had the some of the prettiest dresses I think I've ever seen! They're reversable and can be worn 100 different ways as a dress, shirt, skirt, or swimsuit coverup. Not one is made alike, so everyone got their very own dress! Thanks Grandma!

Tuesday was a day of swimming and singing (and dancing!). We all went to swim at Entrada (also known as Lava Springs from High School Musical 2) which made Zoe most excited! Her life is now complete:) Later that day we all took off for Tuachan, an outside theatre, to see the play Footloose. I have to say it was AMAZING and I think the best I've seen yet! What made all the more better was the fact that Thayne Jasperson was Ren McCormick! For those of you completely out of the loop, Thayne was on So You Think You Can Dance and in my opinion, should've won! He was so good! Christina, Jessica, and I left the play a few minutes early just so we'd be first in line to meet him when the actors came out. It was worth it...we WERE! He was so nice and VERY glad to hear that I voted for him a million times...and he was HOTT! That was MY highlight of cousins camp!

THIS is Thayne Jasperson.

I think Abby like it too:)

Wednesday, we woke up and headed out to Brushfire (which is kind of like a Paint A Dream for us) for everyone to paint a memory of Cousins Camp. I, of course, chose Footloose, Calli painted a plate, Zoe painted a car for Scott (sssh!) and Abby...wait...I'll have to ask her. They all finished before I had a chance to take a picture of their creations. After Brushfire, we went to Judd's to get old-fashioned candy. I ALWAYSALWAYSALWAYS get Razzles! They're my favorite! We finished off the day with horseback riding and hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner.





On our last day, Thursday, we had a talent show and everyone had something GREAT! Calli sang a song she learned while playing on the piano (You're Not Sorry-Taylor Swift) and it was so pretty! She shocked everyone at how good she was! She's SO ready for Show Choir! Abby, Zoe, some cousins and I did a skit we do every year that always get some laughs! Make sure and pause the music at the bottom to hear the video!

Overall, Cousins Camp was an extremely fun week and we all enjoyed being together! I hope everyone's summer has been one to remember and nobody has too rough of a start to the new school year! Good Luck!
