Day #105: Coloring Page

August 29, 2011

My sister and her little family came over for family home evening. And whenever they do that and she teaches the lesson there is always a coloring page. This is always how I color my coloring pages. That probably says something profound about my personality type or how my brain works. But I don't really care. This is just what feels good to me while coloring.

Day #103: Chalk on the Boardwalk

August 27, 2011

My friends invited me to an outdoor cinema that goes on Fridays and sometimes Saturdays in the summer. There's a popular boardwalk close by that is a hotspot for chalk drawers. And I had never bestowed my creative juices upon it before. So I made sure that we went this time, so I could redeem myself from the horrific Cannon Center incident.

Day #96: Park

August 20, 2011

We went to a park and picnicked for my mom's early birthday. I was tired and not feeling so hot so I laid down on a bench like a hobo while my adult siblings played on children's playground equipment. That's a good family.

Day #71: Eight Bucks Worth of Goldfish

July 26, 2011

Emma and I bought this huge box of goldfish at the Creamery for 8 bucks together. We went between wondering if we could finish it in four days to worrying if it would last four days a few times. It became a lovely inside joke and definite future tradition.

Day #69: Ducks

July 24, 2011

Sunday was pretty much the only day we had any free time at all. We got to sleep in, then we went to a student ward for sacrament meeting. Then we had free time until a fireside after dinner with Dallyn Bayles, which might I add I was freaking out about. So a bunch of us went out to play in this waterfall by our dorms and take pictures. Then after dinner a group of us sneaked bread out of the Cannon Center and went to feed the ducks:)

Day #65: Chalk

July 20, 2011

So my friend, Cameron, brought sidewalk chalk. Naturally, I was crazy excited to play with it which we did after lunch at the Cannon Center. Little did we know that it is considered vandalism and although they were pretty nice about it made us clean it up. It was a sad experience, but a wonderful story.

Day #60: My Castle

July 15, 2011

Making our usual 17ish hour drive to Utah. Ugh. We used to make this trip every summer. There's this cement factory that we pass by that I since I was little thought was a castle. We now call it my castle. And my dad had the song Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds on one of the tapes he'd listen to in the car so the two became my thing and are tied together in my childhood forever. My parents also call my Lucy which is part of the reason why Lucy in the Sky is my song. Here's the evolution of my name in my family: Kaylyn, Lyn, Lynnie, Lynnie Lou, Lucy Lou, and finally Lucy.

Day #56: Sand Couch

July 11, 2011

Second day in Oregon! We woke up to realize that it was not sunshiny and happy like the first day, and was cloudy. Sad. We walked to this little coffee shop, then a bakery for breakfast. Then we went to the local strip mall where I managed to get a pair of pants that were originally $60 for $12, and a scarf that was $40 for $5 at Hollister. Holy crap. Then we went back to the hotel and finished watching a movie we had started the night before but I had fallen asleep during. Then we noticed it had gotten sunny and promptly proceeded to walk the beach where we found a giant hole people had dug earlier. So I made a sand fortress and my friend made a couch. My fortress didn't turn out so hot because the sand wasn't quite wet enough..but oh well. The couch turned our really cool. This lady walked over to us and started talking to us then her 4 year old daughter came bouncing over and plopped down on the couch and sat her two naked Barbies next to her. It was adorable.  Then she donned my fortress with a feather on the tallest tower which really made it so much more epic.Then we went back to the hotel and played Mario Kart Wii and watched more movies hahha.

Day #46: Finding Nemo

July 1, 2011

I had some of my Beauty and the Beast friends over to watch Finding Nemo. It was a grand time. Afterwards we threw that rainbow ball in the background around which was actually hilarious fun, then we went to someone else's house and played night volleyball, swung on their swing set, and made a few calls.

Day #45: Train Penny

June 30, 2011

Today I went adventuring at the town I  have mentioned before that is my favorite. We went to the park and the boardwalk there and walked along the train tracks. We heard a train coming so we put out pennies on the tracks. The train was rather long, though, which we didn't anticipate and had to wait a while to look for the pennies. Train pennies are the most fun.

Day #42: Batman

June 27, 2011

Not only do I love Batman with an undying passion, I am Batman. So I found Batman temporary tattoos at Walmart and just about died. I promptly bought them and shared with my friends. I feel super awesome sporting the superest super hero on my forearm.
