Cabin!

The cabin was so much fun! We left for Island park Tuesday morning, bright and early and then left to get back to Utah Friday morning, once again... bright and early! It was a very eventful trip. Tuesday we just got unpacked and hung out. Wednesday we went out into the meadow kind of by the cabins to go tubing and mess around in the powder! It was so fun, I spent alot of my time pulling some of my cousins around... it was a sight they would all pile on to a little tube with a HUGE hole in the middle they all fell right through it, their butts were draggin in the snow the whole way! The 2 that got it worse were usually Sami, and Alyssa they were the 2 oldest so they got the bottom the next row on top of them would be Payson, and Megan, then on top the fragile one Anna! HAHA! it came from Anna's pants falling down to her ankles, to Megan's arm falling through the hole and getting ran over! It was so much fun! I got goin pretty fast, dang can most of those kids hold on, they all tumbled off as soon as one person fell though! I think Pays made the best of it! He is quite the funny kid! Then I would get on the tube with my uncles driving (bad idea), all the powder, jumps and speed that they put me threw I was sore. Thursday we all took rides up to Spring Creek a few miles up the road. We only had 8 snowmobilles so we had to split the groups up. My ride up I had my little sister Megan behind me! The next event was Truman on the way up getting sick with the flu that carried on to his mom (my aunt) Amber getting sick, then to my mom's sister (my aunt) Natalie and then my Grandma, then finally Carter puking off the loft all over the next floor... Count on the Manwaring's to make some thing fun! I have so much more to tell about but we will leave it at that! I will post some pictures as soon as I can get them on to my computer! Love you all!
Love Alex

ISLAND PARK!!!

Every year since I can remember, I have gone on a huge family trip! My WHOLE extended family on my mom's side would go up and stay in a cabin and go snowmobilin! When I was younger my Grandpa would get one really big cabin out in Yellow Stone that we would stay in! I remember that cabin so well! There was one room that all the parents would go up in and play Murder in the Dark or Mofia (I think that is how you spell it...) all I remember I could hear when that was going on was screaming or someone getting hit up against the wall... uncle's and their rough housing... but the thing that I remember most in that room was the window ceil filled with gross little dead flys.. haha GREAT MEMORY isn't it? This Cabin was huge! But, for the last few years my Grandpa has been getting ones up in Island Park! We get 3 cabins and split the families and then all get together during the day then go off to our own cabins and get to bed then meet in a certain cabin all day and carry on with that routine! It is so much fun! There is a hot tub, tons of food, and all the family! The Manwaring family always has great times! Snowmobiling is the best though... ecspecially when your on the back of the tube... last year I was on the back with my crazy uncle Ben, with my aunt Natalie and Emily I think we were all piled on and they flew off so I am on the tube by myself and Ben is going crazy I lived through it and when he stopped I was completly covered from head to toe in snow... it was COLD! I am so excited to go this year! I leave Tuesday morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!

The big "test"

ON our soccer team we have 3 girls that have hurt their knee's. Dominique, Mackenzie, and Me. Dominique and Mackenzie have gotten the deal worst then me, they tore their ACL's where I only tore my MCL. So they got the whole surgury idea and i didn't! (thankgoodness) But both of them have been doing PT since summer and they have finally progressed to get into Bridge where I am getting really close. So back to the "Big test" idea. On Tuesday I am going to PT and taking a physical test that will tell me how well my knee has progressed and if I am ready to accel to Bridge. So I am hoping that I will do good and be jjust fine and get out of PT and on to Bridge which then I will be only about 2 weeks away from soccer!!!!! Well, Doom and Kenzie are both ready for Bridge and they are going to wait till I am and we will all do it together (so that we can push eachother so all of us can get back into soccer!) I think that this will be a good experience cause Kenzie is new and she isn't quite used to our team yet. So I hope that I can get her more comfortable with me and the team. (Our team has been together since we were little. Some new ones on the way but they all fit right in. My soccer team is like my second family! I love then all to death and I am so glad that we are all best friends! It is the best and I can't wait till Kenzie will be able to be herself around us! She seems really cool and a really pretty girl!) Well there is my little speech for the day... haha well g2g eat dinner....
TTYL!

Saturday, February 7!

Tonight was so much fun! Me, Scout and Dominique all went to the movie "Uninvited!" It was the best movie ever! It isn't scary, but it is jumpy. I hated one scene casue it was kind of bloody and disturbing. How the movie all ended was pretty wierd to! But, it was REALLY REALLY GOOD! After the movie we walked over to Charlie's, we all almost got ran over like 3 times... haha. great times. and then after we got done eating our shakes and sundaes lol we went outside to wait for their mom to pick us up. Scout started breaking out into a song then just out of the blue doom started snapping to it so i started to hum. lol it was a great musical. then like 3 cars in a row waved at us. I had no idea who they were and they started to like hit their windows on the car. scout put on her hood and hid like she didn't know me and doom. well anyway, it was great memories. Me, Doom, and Scout always have tons of fun together only them will get this next part but we ahd great grandma clothes, playing dress up in the dark, watching the notebook at likw age 6, harry potter, popcorn and licking the bags, trying on some of andrea's clothes when we knew they wouldn't fit, babysitting Peyton and Jack, and scrapbooking and so much more. WE HAVE GREAT TIMES TOGETHER! HA well got to go! see ya
