Backpacking!!! :)

Hola Everybody!!! Sarah Here! OK, so, the backpacking trip...... FUNNNNN!!! I dont know about anyone else, but i had a Splendid time. The Hike in was fun. I remember seeing chris jogging over the hill and thinking it was some random redheaded girl.... haha, sorry chris. The water was very cold (thats an understatement) but i had fun anyway. It was really cool thaat taylor and i had so much matching clothes. i liked adopting her for the weekend. Luckily, we had food other than freeze dried stuff while we were there. It's weird to think we hiked 12 miles in 3 days.
I am SO glad that we stopped at starbucks cuz if we didn't we would have had joshuas projectile orange vomit all over us instead of all over the starbucks parking lot.... ya, thanks josh. Anyway, thats all for now!!!

Backpacking trip

Saturday and Sunday were the days I stayed for the backpacking trip. I had a great time there with everybody. Thank you CGN Jessica for planning the trip. The thing that I liked the most was the missions we got. I think that this was the best camping trip that I’ve been to with Aim High. I hope we do this again next year.

Camping Trip

The camping trip was so awesome! We did so many cool things and we had a lot of great new experiences. The hike wasn't to bad and it had a wonderful view of the river. Also I loved the top secret assignments."SNAP" "Cgn John Lietner where did you get those shoes."haha. My favorite thing was climbing the mountain and looking down on everything. Sleeping in tents wasn't to bad and the camping food was delicous. One of my other favorite things was swimming that was really funny,cold, and enjoyable. The most memorable was the skits, I'll never forget Larry, Gary,Mary,Bary, and Mudkip. Also I enjoyed just lying in the grass and looking at the sky. Oh and don't forget my fort that was pretty cool too. Thankyou everyone who helped with the camping trip it was so great!

Camping by the River

This year's hiking trip was awesome! The hike wasn't as nearly as long as the one to Serene Lake in 2009. I can't believe I walked 12 miles in 3 days! That big cliff that over looked our campsite was really cool. Climbing it was slow because of all the loose rocks. But once at the top, the view was amazing and the overlooking hills looked like something painted by Grant Wells. They almost didn't seem real. The water in the river was FREEZING!! I got goose bumps all over my body from just stepping in to my knees. Right now i'm glad that I don't have to at that freeze dried food anymore and that I don't smell like campfire. It was overall, really cool and I hope we can go there again someday.

This morning I realized just how much my sister has grown up. She isn't my little baby sister that always needs my help with everything anymore. Now, I'm supposed to be that figure or idol that she looks up to instead of just someone who plays 'horsey' with her. It is hard to grow up, but it's fun at the same time. Yesterday, Kenzie got a letter from her elementary school saying that she was accepted into the leadership program there. I was so happy and proud of her and I started thinking about when I was accepted. Then, I realized that that doesn't matter right now, this is her moment and I can couch her but, she has to do it on her own. Just something I thought this morning. Happy Early 10th Birthday Kenzie!!
