Put your hands up if you love long car rides!!!! WOOoooo....No one!? I didn't think so.
On July 25th we left Boise to go to Salt Lake City, Utah! which I must say, was my very first time going to Utah. The drive there was about 5 hours long. Even though it was long we entertained ourselves a lot with music, weird sayings, and random car games.

This is my best friend Xana. (pronounced like zzz-ana) We have been best friends since 1st grade! That is around 11 years!  Don't we look SO excited? 

When we finally arrived in Salt Lake City, we started getting ready for the concert right away. we only had an hour and a half till the concert started. The concert was to see One Direction. We bought the tickets over a year ago! Crazy right? well, the concert was truly amazing. the background for the stage changed for every single song, and the lights were awesome. and the band, of course, was really good! they have actually great singing voices! plus they were weird...dancing and such. Anyways, there was not even one seat open in the entire place. Most of the people there were girls, and if you didn't already know...girls have loud high pitch screams. Now imagine hundreds of them screaming. Yep...I couldn't hear very well for a long time.

SO Many People!

During the concert(:

The day after the concert was LAGOON park day!! We were camping in lagoons campgrounds so this was our view.

Lagoon was amazing. I absolutly positivly love roller coasters, and crazy scary rides, so this place was perfect for me. My favorite rides were probably the colossus fire dragon (which is above) and of course, wicked. this...is wicked.

Its a strait up and strait down 90 degree angle both ways. It was super fast and super fun! We went on this probably around 5-6 times(;

We also enjoyed going on the safari..badada, the ski lift thing, and a concert. Here are some more photos.

Were going on a safari! badada

Kinda gross..but pretty at the same time!

Safari Train! <3

Ski lift thingy. It takes you to the other side of the park

 Lagoon! so pretty!!

Wicked<3

so..I have a HUGE fear of falling.

This is how lagoon describes the rocket: "Guests are slowly raised to the top of the 200-foot tower in approximately 20-25 seconds, and then blasted downward". This ride was a HUGE deal for me. but i faced my fears and I loved it. haha so much thrill.

After we went on the rocket, we went on this air plane ride where you control your own plane thingy. this was mine...SWORDFISH!

so sad how the animals are on pavement and in cages..

Colossus the fire dragon!

The next few days were spent in Sun Valley/Ketchum Idaho. Sun Valley is a richy richy town. So richy richy that we actually saw TWO, not one, but TWO Bugatti's outside of the Sun Valley Resort. just look at these beyond beautiful cars..

 Here are some pictures from Sun Valley (town part).

 Sun Valley Resort. Where the stars stay.

Famous Outside roller skating rink, and the mountain in the background is the famous skiing hill.

Sun Valley dog, where they sell fake dogs (statues, stuffed animals etc.) not stuff for dogs.

this entertained us for a while

We found a big chair.

And these cool hut things 

Sun Valley shopping area!

And now for pictures from the camping part of sun valley!

We were camping in the Sawtooth mountain range area. 

We first found a random spot off the road, and it was actually pretty nice! It was about 7 miles outside of Ketchum, by the visitors center. 

We were right by a river/creek.

thought this flower thingy looked interesting. 

and there is our campsite. this is just 1 picture that shows exactly why I love Idaho. 

Dandelions are so pretty. love them. 

The next two nights were spent by prairie creek about 20 miles outside of ketchum, or 12 miles from where we last camped. It was absolutely gorgeous there. There even was a natural hot springs close by that we walked too. I have been there before with my friend Nicole  so I thought I knew how to get there. I ended up walking off trail and ran right into it! I was so happy that we didn't walk around for a long time for nothing!! Anyways...our spot was super nice and peaceful. with the creek right there, we made a brige (but I fell in anyways...) And let me tell you..the water was FREEZING.  but we had fun, we made mini rivers in the creek and yah. haha 

Here are some pictures of the last 2 days. 

Our masterpiece!

And the rest of the pictures...

view from camper door!

and this is us..haha 

View of the mountains from the hot springs!!

Everywhere we went, we made sure we could cross the river.

 Campsite!

Oh Idaho, I love you. SO perfect. I already miss it :(

Stumbled upon this while venturing into the wild forest. 

This is how we do camping: Stay up till midnight or longer with a fire, and popcorn, and watch the stars.

We saw quite a lot of deer! 

Flowers...flowers everywhere.

If you made it this far...congratulations you won a new I-Pad! 

Just kidding..you didn't win an I-Pad. but that would be cool right!?

anyways..thanks for reading and looking!

this was such a fun trip and I definitely will be going to lagoon and Sun Valley whenever possible. It was all so much fun! and I definitely recommend them! 

Stay Beautiful,
Ashley.
