And I sewed my first square together
Then it started to storm, and Mr needed a place to hide, I made him a quilt fort!

Days 523 - 526
We have been getting back into the groove, and doing chores, but Mr has a new bad habit...
Sleeping anywhere I am
And I've been craving candy, and we have a random bag of Mexican candy so I thought I would try something
This is a candy bar with marshmallow with jam on top and dipped in chocolate
Vegas and Zion
We spent a week in Vegas and Zion National Park, it was HOT. We live in a desert now, but a high elevation desert. I will not be moving to a desert any time soon, it was way to hot. And neither of us really liked Vegas, it was ok, but we will not be frequenting.
The strip
The bellagio fountain, and because we went around the 4th of July they played "proud to be an American"
We checked out the Hoover Dam, we took the long tour and it was well worth it. The ticket purchasing process is kind of silly.
we got there an hour before they opened and waited in line and then still got into the second tour.
Then we checked out the Las Vegas sign. There was a line for that too!!! awe skipped the line and didn't care there were other people in our picture, I guess we don't like lines.
We checked out Cirque, it was good!
Then we checked out Zion
We found the hidden petroglyphs, it was really neat!
We hiked 5 miles one way in water in the narrows
To see this, big springs... 5 miles one way for this.
I would suggest getting the water shoes you can rent... we wore our keens, and kind of regret it.
This was the deepest part.
Then we went on a backpack trip.
The views were amazing.
This is our campsite on the trail, for all of the campsites being booked... we saw 1 other couple on the trail... it kind of made us upset that so many people didn't keep their reservations, it was super nice that we had the entire place to ourselves!
We walked right past Angels landing but chose not to do it because it was packed and we just came down from a much higher elevation and had seen the view...
Then we hiked down Walter's wiggles, there was no way in hell we were hiking back up those.
The next day we saw the emerald pools and some of the other short hikes
Then back to Vegas
Where we got to see Sibin!
Then we had to head backs home.

Day 522
I think we are all done packing... I think, we leave early in the morning.
Mr must know something is up, he is keeping an eye on everything.
Day 521
Today I got a pedicure!
And now I am ready for vacation! I love how your nails feel in comparison to when you trim them yourself!
Days 518 & 519
Yesterday Josh and I did some preparing for vacation and today to celebrate July 4th we ran a 5K with Josh's work
Mann + Hummel sponsored the run, it was fun,
my fastest 5K yet! under 30 minutes!
Day 516
Went out with my friends to try out a new restaurant 
I got horchata to drink, it tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
We ate off traditional plates, these were not lead free
This is cactus on a bread
And this is corn fungus.
Weirdly the corn fungus was not as bad as the cactus...

Day 514
The day started out beautifully
Mr had a friend visit
I went with a friend to see those aqueducts that were in the neighborhood. They were pretty neat.
And finally I got my picture framed and matted

Day 511
Josh ran a 5k and I ran a 10k this morning, it was great, our friends ran too :)
Then we had a delicious breakfast
Day 510
We found this cat in our back yard, it must have came in on the wall, and it ran around and tried to get out, it turned out it was scared, but really nice. We thought it could be able to get out on its own, but after a little while it didn't, so we opened the side door and it ran out, and hasn't been seen since.
I also saw these at the grocery store, are they good?
Days 506 - 509
Not much has been going on here
Mr has been napping
I cut all of my background color.
And Josh and I tried out a brewery, it had some decent food and a great atmosphere
