Hike with Vance

On August 8th, I went on a hike in Big Cottonwood Canyon with Vance Garfield. We were originally going to go to Deseret Peak, but it ended up being closed for some reason, so we did a different hike.

On our way to Deseret Peak

Deseret Peak was closed, so we decided to hike Lake Blanche instead. This is on our way to Lake Blanche.

As you can see, we saw some moose at the end of our hike.This is me at the end of the hike.With that reflection, it should be Mirror Lake.

New pictures

I saw these clouds above the eastern mountains when I took my camera outside. I didn't know when I went outside that there would be a cool picture like this to take.

This is Chiang.

Chiang again.

Guess who?

And this picture is of a Queen ant carrying a massive spider to their home. If you want to see a video of it, I have it posted.

Pictures

This is one of the best Sophie pictures ever!

Snow College

So, I finally moved out - about how many years too late? Anyway, I am at Snow College, have a cool room-mate. His name is Martin. Here is a picture of him on his computer.

So I have band, and it's going to take some time to catch up to where I was in High School if I was even anywhere in high school. I'm going through my Essential Elements book - a teaching book - to get the basics down. I have a lot of practicing to do, but I'm ok with that - it feels good practicing - but my brain can only take so much at a time.

I have a public speaking class that will be fun/is really fun. I have a bowling class - a REALLY good class to start off the morning on Tuesdays and Thursdays with. I've learned a new way to bowl - you start out on the right side, your right big toe on your right foot touches the right dot. I walk diagonally, and aim for the 2nd arrow from the right. I got 100 doing that. I think the more I do it, the better I'll get, and I think that is supposed to prepare me for curving the ball. My high in bowling right now is 132 - that's out of 3 bowls. I like that we get to score by paper. Don't ask me where I'm getting the drive to type all this - I just feel like doing it - I suppose it's a journal of sorts.

I played basketball yesterday 1 on 1 with a guy named Jason, and it was fun - I totally exhausted myself, but that was good. It was the most excercise and good playing experience I've gotten in a long time. It would have been even better with more people. I signed up for an institute class, but have only gone to 10 minutes of the class so far. I've met a girl who is on the Institute Clubs Presidency or is the president of the Institute Clubs, and she is kind of cute.

I have a courtship and marriage class which I have only gone to once so far, but it was really good - the teacher is awesome!

I made some brownies - and I had the idea to put marshmallows in them, and they turned out really good. So if you ever make chocolate brownies, try putting marshmallows in them if you want.

I have another roomate named Colton. He is into stuff that I've never been into. He's nice. He plays the guitar. He's given me some miracle whip and some parmesan cheese.

I just went to a nice little cafe called the Solid Rock Cafe - they serve warm hot chocolate (which is good) and their cinnamon rolls are good.

Last but not least, on Sunday, me and some people played some games in the lounge and did some improv stuff, which was very fun. It was a great day.

Well, this Travis Cook signing out. Take care. Work hard, Play hard, have fun, and remember who you are.

I thought I'd share my testimony on here. I know that my Savior lives. Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the true church. We are guided and directed by good leaders. The Book of Mormon is true. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Uncle Trav's Blog

Hello everyone. It is me, Uncle Trav. It is 9:37 a.m., and I am up! Have been for 19 hours; don't ask.

There is a cool program (Windows Live Writer) that allows you to edit your weblog by just going to an icon on your desktop, and double-clicking rather than go to the blog website and putting in your username and password. Isn't that cool? Yeah, I thought so.

So I am going to Weber State, and am taking 2 classes - one is a geography class and the other is an accounting class. It's gone by way fast - I just realized either early today or late last night that we were already halfway through the chapters in my accounting class. I've almost fallen asleep (and actually did once) a few times in my geography class. It's mainly lack of sleep. I try to pay attention, but the sleep thing is just too much sometimes. On a side-note, it's a 3 hour class, and he can just talk away for a long time - it could very well be interesting, but maybe we need to stretch 2 or 3 times instead of just once. It's a good thing we do that.

My neice, Skye

So there is this Low-Bush Moose hat that I had on my computer desk. My neice, Skye, had it, and put it on - the way she looked with it on - it was picture perfect, but I didn't have my camera there, so I couldn't take a picture, but it was an awesome thing to see.
