A Smattering of Aly (Aug - Dec 2020)

While we're on the subject of Aly, let's take a minute to give a shout out to what she's been up to for the past 5 months.  I usually resort to copying pictures from her instagram or her friends' facebook posts to share what she's doing, but every so often she shares a ton of photos with me on Google photos as well.  Aly laughs that what I blog about her does not usually match what she's actually doing in the pictures, but oh well!  A picture is worth a thousand words, right?  I may have even already blogged about some of these events before, but here we go with some random pictures and my even more random attempts to describe what's going on . . .  


Hiking with friends . . . to a lake . . . 


Trip to Yellowstone?





Hiking with my bro . . . and other dudes . . . 




Trip to North Carolina to Visit Rylie (boating, hiking, & a drive in concert, oh my!)



Beautiful fall leaves . . .


Trip to Southern Utah . . . 




More friends, more hiking . . .


Rock climbing or repelling?  Hard to tell in the picture if she's going up or down . . . 😂😂😂




Road trip to Washington with Sarah . . .









October fun . . . maybe haunted houses or escape rooms. . . or just a really bizarre, nasty restroom?




Dressing as Tortillas for Halloween . . . 



Somewhere with some sand . . .


More southern Utah adventures . . .



Fun working at Outdoors Unlimited, including making a pizza with the performance ski waxer . . .🤔😏



Accidentally stepping through the ice in a semi-frozen lake . . . 


Taking pictures for your mission with the Paraguay flag and the Book of Mormon . . .







Hiking the Grand Canyon with my bros over Thanksgiving . . . 





Hanging out with her cute cousins . . . 





Attempting to learn to ski and teach this guy to snowboard (and then deciding that she likes snowboarding better anyway) . . . 


Getting to actually stand on the frozen lake once it was completely frozen over . . . 


 So there you have it!  I guess you could just say that Aly pretty much loves hanging out with people and exploring and that would pretty much cover it. . . 😅😉🤣🤣🤣
