I like Jack's Mannequin a little less and The Fray a little more


After seeing them in concert on Saturday

I was very dissapointed with Jack's Mannequin. Andrew McMahon is the weirdest performer I have ever seen. I call him slinky man. He could not sit still. He would stand up for a second, do a weird snake like motion, sit down for a second, and then do it all over again. I couldn't help but laugh. Everyone else in the band just stood there like statues. There was nothing real great about it. It was just OK for me. I guess I should give Andrew a break. He recovered from acute lymphoblastic leukemia and has done a lot to raise money for leukemia awareness. He also has his own foundation geared toward raising money for cancer research.
The sky was really pretty that night
I was a little impressed with the Fray. I am not gonna lie. Isaac Slade has an amazing voice and the rest of the band contributed to impressing me. I just wish I would have been more familiar with their songs. I only knew their hit songs, like How to Save a Life (which was touching b/c Isaac told the story behind that song) and Cable Car (Over my head). We ended up leaving after a few songs as a result.
I really liked all the lights they used and especially the screen at the top
voila!
Like I said, I like the Fray a little more and Jack's Mannequin a little less.

Incubus


we BOTH really, really, really, like Incubus. So naturally, we saw them in concert on Thursday.
We went with Adam's best friend Jared and his gf Iran.

Our 8 dollar nachos. They were actually pretty good.

We were LOVING every minute of it. There are no words to describe how truely amazing they really are live. All I can say, is that they sound just like they do on all their CD's, perfection!
It was at the usana amphitheater
Waiting for them to come out.
Oh man, it was so good. I want to see them in concert again. I have seen them twice so far.
Brandon Boyd you rock my pants off! No, but seriously he is incredible...such a good voice!



Shirt off
He sure can hit that bongo. ha.

Timpanogos Caves

Going through the gate
We fed a littel chipmunk on the way
We went with Jared and Iran

You can see the parking lot
This is the only picture we have inside the caves because the battery died in my camera shortly after this pic was taken :/
We made it to the TOP! The hike was not that bad besides the heat. It took us an hour to get up there.



Taking pictures of Jared and Iran
Holding up the rock
It was so pretty
Before we started our journey up there.

Raging Waters & Down Town Disney

I have never really been to a water park except for seven peaks when I was like seven...so Adam thought it would be fun to go to Raging Waters in San Dimas. This was taken right when we entered the park.
We got there around noon so after we went on a few slides we pulled out the snacks. We are actually sitting down at a table in this picture w/ all our snacks....which we failed to capture.
This park is perfect for families! They have a few of these sand places where you can lay out. There are tons of play areas and smaller slides for the kids. They have a pretty big wave pool and lazy river.
They have a lot of tube slides that require two riders and slides where you use a mat with handles and go down face first (those were my favorite). I really liked this one called speed racer or something because they time you. Its like one of those big slides at the fair with 8 or 9 lanes. As soon as the light turns green you jump and slide down and receive your time when you cross the finish line. I kicked Adam's trash.
This was one of the slides you go down face first on a mat.
These are a couple of the smaller slides.

Here is our 6 dollar ice cream cone.
Overall, I really liked my first experience of a REAL water park.
We went to Down Town Disney afterwards and decided to eat at the Rain forest Cafe.
They told us it would be a 25-35 min wait. We went inside the shop and took this picture by the fish tank and then they called us so we really only had to wait two minutes.

We had some good company. This gorilla comes to life.
Well, Adam didn't really care for the zebra.

We looked at all the shops and tried on these hats.
Adam rolled up a receipt to make the joint lol
