Sister’s Gone Wild :)

(YES- we went a little camera crazy, but believe it or not I'm only including a "few" of my favorite pics from the weekend. Just enough to remember how much fun we had together :)

It only took Megan 5 years of begging, a couple of free plane tickets, an awesome husband, and perfect timing to make a trip to Utah to see my little sister happen.

Megs lives on her own down in Utah and she is always asking us to come and visit. My sister Leslie and I both had a free plane ticket to use from our frequent flyer miles so we decided to make all of Meg’s dreams come true and drop in for a few days :)

She picked us up from the airport around 1:30. Since we were in Salt Lake we decided to spend the day and do a few of the “Mormon Activities” they have there. First stop was to the Humanitarian center for a tour. It was really amazing to see how organized and prepared our church is for any disaster. It was also amazing to see the amount of people all over the world that have been blessed by the service, education, jobs, and supplies the church has given them. So cool. It made me want to get involved and help out in my own small way.

Next it was off to Temple Square. We walked around for a little bit and then Leslie and I were able to do a session together. Loved it, thanks for sharing that with me Les, and a big thanks to Megs for waiting for us.

After that we ate at the Melting Pot. The Melting Pot dining experience takes about 3 hours. Our 3 hours were spent perusing the menu, trying out lots of yummy food, posing for an outrageous amount of pictures, laughing, faking Leslie out with a bouquet of Roses we found in the bathroom garbage can, laughing, and then laughing so hard pop came out my nose. Super Fun Dinner.

Needless to say after a 3 hour dinner of cheese and chocolate we all had to take a short potty break (when I say short potty break, I mean a good 30 minutes) before we could continue on with our evening of games and fun until 2am. (Here’s Megs in the “Farting Position”) OH BOY!

On day 2 it was off to the Lagoon bright and early. All 3 of us love amusement parks and fast rides so it was a no brainer that this was going to be a fun day together.

6 seconds of craziness on "Wicked"

We paid extra to go on the Sky Coaster and the Sling Shot Ball. They were well worth it and our absolute favorites of the day!

This is us dangling at the top of the sky coaster right before we dropped.

This is a video of what it looks like from the outside of the sling shot ball ride.

(20 sec. of nothing at the begining you may want to skip ahead a little)

On our way home from the Lagoon that night we stopped off to catch a 10:00pm chick flick… The Traveling Man’s Wife. Once home we stayed up chatting until 2am and then finally crashed.

The next morning I was pounced on by Megan and Leslie screaming, “morning photo opp.” (Behold the “Glamour Shots” below. UGH.)

Because it was raining we choose to cancel our plans to Park City where we had hoped to do the zip line, alpine slides, and shop. Instead, we settled for a trip to the mall where we splurged on pedicures and eyebrow waxing.

The cool thing about this unexpected turn of events is that since I had just lost my toenail a few weeks prior (another story all on its own – OUCHY) I was able to have a fake one glued on and painted up all pretty and perfect. It was quite a funny sight to see. I went in without….came out with!! Yeah!!

After we were all dolled up we were ready for a night out on the town. We went to “Comedy Sports” which is an improv comedy club kind of like “Whose Line Is It Anyway.” It was fun watching them in Utah because of all of the LDS humor that was thrown in. Some of those jokes could only have been told and understood in Utah :) The Ref used lots of our ideas we yelled out which made it super fun for us. Especially when he caught Megs yawning, and called Leslie cupcake. The comedians had us rolling most of the night.

For our last day together we wanted to make sure to get in a trip to the Mayan, one of my favorite Utah restaurants. Leslie had never been so it was fun to treat her to something new.

Temple Square was our last stop on our way to the airport. We got to finish up what we didn’t get to see on our first day at temple square. It was a nice way to spend our last few hours together.

I had a ton of fun, let’s not wait so long for our next sister’s weekend. Maybe next time we can do it at Disneyworld :) Anyone in?
