BALLIADEN!!!

Ok, here is me and Beth's next Adventure! We went to Balliaden (a youth conference for us awesome mormons) and had so much fun! We played sports, skipped sports, went to a formal dance,... and a casual dance, danced with creepy boys, danced with fun boys, talked with Swedes, picked up trash, crashed in the room, took naps, took pictures, ... and showers, laughed with Rebecca Laswell and Carrie Anne Olsen, had fun with the girls that went, and just had fun being together!!! I hope you enjoy our pictures.

This is in Sentrum the night we left. If you look in the background, there is a fountain. It gets lit up at night and is beautiful! This is our "singing in the rain" poses.

This is what we ALL felt like after the first train to Oslo...

Bethanie in front of her first train EVER!!!!


I don't know if you can see it very well, but we played volleyball and Beth popped blood vessels in her arm!! It was black and blue and green!!! GROSS!!! .. and we didn't even WIN!!!


Bored out of our minds...



ME and beth were the only ones from Stavanger who went to the service project. We climbed around on rocks and picked up trash. It was actually pretty fun. We met some cool people. Plus, BONUS! we got to where these awesome vests!!! They say "Mormon Helping Hands"

Posing in my beautiful vest.

On top of the rocks!

Me falling off the rocks.. I was actually falling and Beth was just laughing at me and taking pictures! I was really gonna fall!!! But, the picture did turn out pretty funny.

Whoa sexy!

It was gorgeous!

Everyone that helped.

Night of the formal dance!! We looked pretty!!

Rebecca Laswell and Ingrid. I did her makeup and Beth did her hair. We were the hair and makeup crew of the night! Not even kidding. I did about 6 girls makeup and beth did about 5 girls hair.. CRAZY!

Our favorite people that we met were these Swedish guys. We hung out pretty much the whole time! This is us on the bus ride home. I was squished in with them ... aww.. So cute.

Dinner. We were the last table to get food and were starving!!!

Alex and Victor. Crazies.

This was my date. His name was Fredrick. We had fun. He was one of the Swedes. This is a nasty picture of him... but yea... he was so sweet.

Me and Jakey!

Jacob Phipps and Jacob Laswell.

Their dates. Not really, but they wish! This is Mina and Rachel.

My dress was SO LONG! I had 4 inch heels on and my dress still dragged on the floor!!!

2 am... after the dance. We had just gotten back..

AHAHAHA!!! SYDNEE!!! you look high! love it!!!

Don't you love our touristy shirts? Beth is wearing her I LOVE LONDON one and I'm wearing my SUPER MOOSE OF NORWAY shirt.. what geeks.

This is the amazing face Rebecca made when I was taking a picture of her taking off her makeup. LOVE YOU REBECCA! I know you told me not to, but I thought this was just too funny! Your lucky I didn't put the other one UP!

Packing up. Beth and I had to leave early so she could make her flight the next morning.

Rebecca, Beth, Rebecka, Sydnee

We got finally home safely after almost missing our train in Oslo. It was a long ride, but we made it! I might not be posting very often in the next couple of weeks because of school, but I'll try! My next post is the concert I just went to! Love you all!
