Best Day Ever



So this is extremely late because I am always so lazy to pull my cord out and actually download all my pictures.
Buuuut this summer I went on an adventure. I went to Warped Tour. Not in Utah, which would have been the logical choice. No, I went to Minnesota. Shakopee to be exact.
I drove from Rexburg to Williston N. Dakota where I met up with Trevor and Ethan. Then they drove the rest of the way.

My assessment of Montana after driving through it for several hundred miles:

  • Eons of fishing signs
  • More road kill then I have ever seen in my life
  • Turning your lights on at sunset seem to be optional
  • Lots of camping places
  • I saw my first legit cornfield
  • You can drive as fast as you want
  • They do not need any 'talking on the phone while driving' laws because if you don't pull over you will lose reception anyways.

    Ethan can never take a normal picture ;)




    Saturday we went to Valley Fair which is an amazing amusement park. A lot like Silverwood, but bigger. And better I think. There was a lot of roller coaster options. And their "log ride" got me absolutely drenched, which was fantastic since it was so bleeding hot outside.




    After Valley Fair we were all sufficiently tired and dehydrated so we went to dinner at Olive Garden. It was delicious! 

    This sign made me giggle. Even if they are just talkinga bout OJ
    We walk into Warped and who is the first person we see? We Came as Romans selling their albums that didn't come out for another 2 days! I didn't have my camera out yet, but I did get them to sign my album cover! Seriously, best moment of the whole day. There they are, just trying to sell their music like any musician when they are actually really famous. It was cool to see them all humble.
    Right before the most epic mosh pit ever. And I was only in it for about 3 minutes. Then I had something spill in my backpack and didn't want it to spill all over my electronics so I bolted for the outside. The musicians just stare at the crowd, rotates their fingers in a circle and all hell breaks loose.



    This was only one of the areas for porta potties. Yeah, I held it all day. I have a gift. 







I got to the very front of Sleeping With Sirens, it was fantastic. I definitely got lost from Ethan and Trevor three times (I am fairly certain they were annoyed.)
Kellin from Sleeping With Sirens said: " Make a difference in this world. Do something with your life. It doesn't matter where you came from, its what you are doing from now on."


  • My all time most favoritest band ever. Yes, they are fantastic live :]

    Glorious isn't it? Nothing but music all day long. 

     The last concert we went to was I See Stars. They opened with End of the World Party which was fantastic. They actually started a mud fight which was fun until idiots starting throwing it on stage which was ridiculously stupid. The band had to stop half way through a song to tell us the equipment was too expensive and they would have to get off stage if the crowd didn't stop throwing the mud.



After a day of moshing in the mud, my feet are both dirty and tired. 

Detoxing myself from Monsters was one of the more horrific things I have done in my life

Ethan is probably one of the most hilarious people I have ever met in my whole life. Just a few things that he said on our 10 hour journey to Minnesota:
  • As he's driving across the road "I'm sorry guys, I just cant straighten my hair and stay on the right side of the road. They are two contradictory movements.."
  • "If my chest hair could talk, it would be screaming." It was so hot!
  • "The ghost is being good to you... " as Ethan withdraws his feet from the open window. 


I never have any desire to crowd surf. I saw too many dropped and got kicked in the head several times from other people. 
The whole drive home my seat belt killed my sunburn, even though I wore tons of sunscreen.

After a day of sweating, moshing and listening to great music, we get back into the car for another 10 hours. 
Was this trip reckless of me? Yes. Was it worth it? YES.


THINGS THAT MAKE MOLLY HAPPY :]
  • Ultimate football, I actually like it more than ultimate frisbee
  • Afternoon naps

  • I lost my favorite shoes and got them back!
