PLZEN

I forgot how charming the city of Plzen can be. 

 the garden parties...

 the town square...

 summer markets...

 museums...

 the colorful buildings...

the textures...

and the treats.

DADDY-O

When I was a young girl, I told our neighbors, "I'm my daddy's princess. I have him wrapped around my little finger. Whatever HE doesn't do for me, my brothers will."

I used to be real cute.

Happy Father's Day, Dad dad daddy-o!

GENTLEMEN PLAY GOLF

...at least that's what Ivanka told William so he would tuck in his shirt to head to the green. My first few days and I took the Mercedes to the Golf park for lessons with William and his pal.

CZECH OUT MY NEW BROTHER

Look who I found... 

William tells his teachers I'm his sister. 

"She's from America, she's big, and she just comes during the summer."

Maybe I left yesterday for a quick summer visit to the Czech Republic. Loves.

GRAB YOUR KILT

My friend Dan invited me to join him at the Utah Scottish Festival & Highland Games at Thanksgiving Point. Since I had just seen a preview for the movie Brave, I was in! Joking...kinda.

 Even through 30mph winds, we enjoyed Highland dancing, piping & drumming, and watching traditional Highland athletics

such as the Caber Toss

 and the Sheaf Toss.

 Stretching before throwing 20lb bags over a post with a pitch fork.

 Scottish Santa told me he keeps his list of names under his kilt.

RULES

I basically have 2 rules I ask people to follow:

#1 Don't lie to me

#2 Always be nice to me

WARNING: If you keep breaking these rules (especially #1), I'll still heart you, but it might be more like this stone heart I found on a hike the other day.

MRS & MR AZ

Ten hour drive both ways (me driving and my mom sleeping), 112 degree weather, and I made it to Mesa for my good friend Staci's wedding.

 Love and stuff

 Congratulations to the happy couple

 We posed for a few fun photos in Downtown Mesa

 Ate some greasy tacos & enjoyed Jack in the Box

 Climbed a cactus or two

 Hung out poolside

 Made a few fun pitstops along the drive

Laughed a little

Laughed a little more

 Got to see old pals living in town

MELTED

After a long drive from Utah to Arizona to attend a wedding, I found my adult gummy vitamins (don't judge me) in my suitcase looking like this:

112 degrees and counting this weekend...why do people even live here?!

HIKING

I look at this and sometimes ask the same question. Y do I want to hike every canyon and hill in Utah Valley when halfway through I remember I hate hiking?

I just can't get enough of the views.

Loving my Utah!

TEMPLE SQUARED

I was in SLC so I decided to take a walk around Temple Square with my mom. 

I love to see this:

WELCOME HOME

Tank top, shorts, sandals, 90 degree weather, and Provo Canyon...can't think of a better way to be welcomed home— at Bridal Veil Falls
