bear lake with my besties......

last Monday, me and some of my bestest friends decided to meet at Bear Lake with the kids and hang out for the day. We all went to high school together and try to keep in touch (some of us live farther away than others and have a harder time getting together). I love these guys and we have so much fun when we're together. I swear it hasn't been that long since we were in school hanging out.....rach ~ kristin ~ krista ~ jen ~ shan

the fray.......

What finally brings jen to post?

Well what can I say? The Fray concert!!!!

Not that our summer has not been eventful between soccer, softball, swimming birthdays, scout camp for jon, logan pool

and all the other summer stuff,

but the Fray....I love The Fray!!!!

Back in May (I think it was) I bought 2 tickets to The Fray,

so Lex and I were going to go to the concert.

Well, last Monday the radio station I listen to e-mailed me.

I had won two tickets to......yes, you guessed it.....The Fray concert.

So guess what? Jon and Makaylee got to go.

Yeah for Makaylee, not so excited was Jon,

but the great sport he is he went down.

We decided to head down early and eat

lunch/dinner at the Mayan.....we had never eaten there before so it was fun!

The guy jumper dude.......
so now let's find USANA where the concert is....

(we had never been there before)

it was 4:15 pm, 108 degrees and yes we got in line with the rest of them!!!
they opened the gates at 5:30 pm but we thought since Jon and Makaylee had general admission we'd want to wait so they could get a good spot!
Finally, 5:30 we get in and as we are going up the stair way they offered Jon and Makaylee seats instead of the lawn. So they got seats in the same area as us.
So we cooled off (sort of)........

And THE FRAY!!!!!
singing my all time favorite song:
how to save a life......

the girls enjoying their first concert ever!!!!

we got home about 12:15 am.....we had ssssooooo much fun!!!

I'm super glad Jon and Kay's could go with us....as you can see Lex and I moved up top with Jon and Kay's to watch The Fray...it was fun sitting with them.
