Tessa in her "jacket life." She called it that all day. I think she really believed that jacket was a jacket that produced life. She's so weird. Love her.
The family getting ready to ride. Everytime Alex would stop to talk to me, Tessa would yell at him to go faster! And then I could hear her screaming as they rode-it was funny.
Alex is so hot right now. I hope he's embarrassed by this. I am. (just kidding, boo. You look hot.)
After going out on the wave runners, Tessa spent most of the day in the water with Trace. I'm sure she was telling him some story or something. She's really animated.
There was this island in the middle of the lake, so everyone wanted to go cliff diving. This is the boys at the top, awaiting their destiny.
I got pictures of all of them, but this one it the best. No, it's not flipped wrong-Jordy was really horizontal to the water, because he had done a flip off of the cliff. It was beautiful.
Tessa fell asleep in Mindy's lap-she was really tired! So this is our little family, with Tessa zonked.
Day 2-Swimming
The next day, everyone went swimming at the Green Valley swimming pool. It was fun just to sit there, even though we didn't stay very long-Tessa fell asleep walking back to the pool, again in Mindy's arms. Mindy has a way with her. But before that, she was quite animated, once again. 
Everyone hanging out. If you look really closely in the background, you can see Doug carrying everyone's stuff over to where we were sitting. He did that twice. So helpful.
Tessa didn't actually want to swim, she just wanted to push everyone in. So this is her leading Leslie to her doom.
And this is her pushing Doug. He got it the most I think.
Day 3-Zion National Park
The next day, we went to Zion to hike. I know, right? I'm totally outdoorsy now. But one fun thing was that it was Free National Park Day! Everyone loves free.
Tessa on the shuttle. She has no idea what's coming.
This is how Tessa traveled most of the way up to the Emerald Pools. Being a kid rocks. I tried to get Alex to carry me on his shoulders, and he rejected that idea. So lame.
Proof we were there. I totally climbed up on that rock to take this picture. Suck on that.
Tessa's model pose. She was eating an oreo at the last pool and kept striking this pose. I don't know if she was trying to impress someone, but I'm betting not, since she does this kind of stuff all the time when no one's watching. Or when someone's watching, she doesn't discriminate.
I have a ton of other pictures of the days we were there, but we could take all day if we post those!! It was a really fun trip and we were sad to leave. Mostly because Alex left the next day for Houston, and no one wants that. And Tessa and I already are driving each other crazy, so the next two weeks should be awesome!
(Sarcasm. Original!)
This is Stone. Yes, that's Tessa's hat. He also has on Tessa's shoe. Just one shoe, not both. He's the cutest little cross dresser I've ever met. He's the next Dr. Frank-N-Furter. At least that's the hope! I kept asking him if he wanted to smile, and he kept saying "No, take it." He's such a gentle spirit.
The family at the game-Alex was taking the picture.
Tessa and Alex, cheering for the game.
Waiting for her check up. I'd just gotten done with mine, that's why I look awesome.
Their first meal. The next day, Tessa fed them some Fruit Loops, Chicken Nuggets, and Root Beer. All at once. I saved them though...well, 3 of them. But those three seem to be doing really well. 
This is Mike, about to eat a whole rack of ribs. He dressed for the occasion (he looks like a lumberjack...Classic Mike).
He's sporty too. Volleyball. Manly. Anywho, he's single, so if you're interested email me! (Mike-I'll be sure to screen them for you.)
This was after I stalked him for an entire weekend...but he was cool with it. Except I'm pretty sure he was trying to kill me, because my ribs were definitely cracked after this...Thanks Mikey.
