The old Kylie

Ask any of my friends circa 2000, my brothers or any of cousins and they will tell you I convinced (coerced) them to participate in any number of "activities." I made them perform video skits, design modge podge magazines, choreograph roller skate routines, test out make-up tutorials, and a perform a seriously endless list of runway shows. I was a monster with a plan and a knack for bossing people around (thanks ma). I had big ideas and just knew that they would have fun once they stopped grumbling and stepped in line! Fast forward to 2016 and apparently I haven't lost that skill. I've decided that life is better when I stick with these flashes of creative genius. PLAN: follow through on at least every third idea.

My last great idea was to take advantage of another captive audience (aka: my family visiting a cabin in the woods without wifi) and grab these gems.

hey guys!

i touched a fish in idaho this summer. don't worry though, i wasn't even remotely cool about it. my squeal was probably heard a mile upstream :)

personal update:

I went to Mars and it was awesome.

My echo, my shadow and me.

Everything is copacetic.

Note to self: running around (jumping and dancing) on a frozen lake rarely ends well. 

camping with your besties be like:

These photos are like magic-feel-good-happy vibes that go straight to my heart and every time I look at them, I can't help but grin ear to ear. In case it's not obvious, here is some explanation: only true friends can have so much fun being outrageously silly together that they become completely oblivious to the outside world (including fellow hikers). 

CHEERS TO SISTERHOOD IN THE WILD. 

salty dawgs

driving out to the salt flats to ride bikes and take photos and catch the sunset is always a good idea. having friends who like taking photos and are always in the pursuit of rad moments is an even better idea.

I am so very lucky to have the opportunity to spend time with, listen to and know Hassan and other kids just like him.

flannels and desert air.

Packed up Winnie and headed south to Capital Reef a bit ago to canyoneer Cassidy Arch and sleep  outside. It was so, so, so, so, so good.
