Wolf Creek

Well another year at Wolf Creek has come & gone. Crazy how fast time goes! Wolf Creek is a time share that my family has up in Eden, Utah. My grandpa originally owned it & we started going up when I was like three. Anyways, now we own it. We get it the last week of June every year. I love going up there. This is the first year in ages that I was able to go up for the entire week.

It is such a beautiful area. Eden is up Ogden canyon, just above Pineview Reservoir. There is a ton to do in the area. Obviously you can go boating, there are tons of trails (good for longboarding, although we never quite had time for it), & great hiking. We generally just end up hanging out at the pool all week. We all got mega-sunburned, even using SPF 50.

This year, me, my mom, Angie, Adam, Sandy, Cassie, & Peter went up. My brother, Adam, always wants to do a lot of activities, to keep the kids occupied, so we did a lot of random stuff. We rode the FrontRunner down to Gateway, and went to the Planeterium one day. Another day, we went down to a kids museum called Treehouse. Cassie & Peter had a lot of fun. To be honest, I actually enjoyed it too! It had quite a few little art projects, & I am a sucker for those. Plus me & my mom got to play a game of giant chess. That was awesome!

We also spent one of the days at Lagoon. I honestly cannot remember the last time I went there. So that was fun for different! Generally we just let Cassie ride on the kiddie rides, but we were able to go with her on the log ride & rattlesnake rapids (and get soaked of course). Then me, Adam, & Ang rode Wicked, & the Spider. Both were newer rides we had never been on. Wicked was my personal favorite. So other than the fact it was way too hot, it was a pretty fun day.

One afternoon, we all walked down to a little park area above the pool, and played some games. They had a tether ball there, & we played a few rounds of that. I have actually never played that game, however I have seen it at the end of 'Napoleon Dynamite'! Anyways, I'm not sure if we are too old to play that game or something, but it was way painful! The ball was like a rock! The next day, we all woke up with bruised hands, wrists, & forearms. It was pretty intense. Needless to say, I will think twice before trying that game again!

On Thursday, 2 July 2009, my mom, sister, & I headed back home for the day. My brother Michael, was leaving for the Ultimate Adventure & we all wanted to see him off. We were also able to help him out by running some errands for him. After he took off, my mom & Ang headed back up to Wolf Creek. I had photography class that night with Cali, so I stayed for that. When it was over, Cal & I drove back up.

It was so fun having Cali up there with us. I was glad she was able to go! We basically went to bed when we got there Thursday night, & then on Friday spent the day at the pool. Friday night we went to the movie, 'My Sister's Keeper' (yes we all cried a lot, good thing Cali brought each of us a pack of kleenex!) & then we went to dinner at the Timbermine Resturaunt. It is a steak house, so my sister & I just get dinner salads & a baked potato. Pretty delicious! Played a few games & then hit the sack. On Saturday, we got up, got ready, & checked out. Cali headed off to her Aunts' house & the rest of us headed home. Hooray for Wolf Creek!
