The Wonderful Trip to Missouri and Memphis

Well, for the past two weeks, I was on vacation to visit my grandma in Missouri. We spent three days in the car. We went from Dayton to Utah; from Utah to Nebraska;  from Nebraska to Missouri. In Utah we camped in a cabin that was just built a few months ago. We went to Denny's and got our faces painted. Christopher and Robert got snakes on there arms. Joseph got a Skeleton on his arm. Erin got an unicorn/pegasus on her face. I bet you can guess what I got...... a vampire (:>). Then we went to Temple Square. Since it was like 9:30 p.m Utah time so pretty much everything was closed. But we got some pictures by the Salt Lake Temple and we got to go into the Joseph Smith Memorial. Then in the morning there was some kind of brown spider. We thought it was a Brown Recluse. 
The next day of driving we went through and Wyoming and stopped in Nebraska. We stopped in Mormon Island. It was a camp site so we had to set up a tent at 10:00 at night. Then we woke up extra early to get a good start. We got to grandma's house at 5:00 p.m. Then that night the adults and myself played Gumpsh. It's a card game that you have teams and you have four cards and you want four of the same type of card. Like 4 four's - four 2's etc.
Then the day after that we went to Farmington Water Park. It was okay there were two slides, a lazy river, and a regular pool. It was really crowded  so after a while I went to a lawn chair and read a book and slept. Then I went into the Lazy River for the rest of the time. I got sun burnt but not bad. 
Then it was a Rainy 4th of July. I told my dad while we were at the park under a tree while it was poring I said, "Dad like I said before, we're not in Farmington, we're in FORKS!!!" that made him laugh. the storm didn't ease up, it just got worse. Then we went to Grandma's ward and it was it was the most quite day of my life. I was TOO shy to talk to anyone. 
The next day we went to Six Flags. It was the most fun I had in the two weeks we spent there. Then we went to visit Devree  in Memphis. (You can read all about it on the Hamblin's blog) she was SOOOOO surprised. As we left we saw some celebrities sign a colored Elephant such as: Bill Cosby, Christina Agulera, Tom Hanks, Tony Hawks, Jonas Brothers, Then we went into the Cafeteria and saw a karaoke thing that was dedicated by the................................................ JONAS BROTHERS!!!!!!!!! They signed one of Nick's guitars and we saw Nick's SHIRT and Joe's shirts and One of Kevin's shirt. I was hysteric. 
On the way home we went to the new temple in Utah it's called; Oquirre Mountain temple. It was really Beautiful. We got to tour  the temple with our friends the Allredges. Then we went to their house for ice cream. Then we stopped in Carlin (Where we used to live) and saw a couple of old faces. 
That was our trip. Sorry I didn't put any pictures but Mom hasn't uploaded any photo's yet.
I would really appreciate some followers
