Thursday was hiking day. I had been fighting a headache after two sleepless nights. I took a power nap and downed two Tylenol, and we were off. I was under the impression that we would be taking a leisurely walk around the lake, so when we started to head another direction, I began to panic. This wasn't going to be one of those supposed to be 2 miles but ends up 4 miles, up hill both ways kind of hikes was it?
The priesthood assured me that this would not be too strenuous. Don't get me wrong, I'm ok with hiking, but I prefer to do it on the west coast where there are no bugs, where shade abounds, and where the temperature rarely gets above 75 degrees. Utah hiking is not my favorite. It's too HOT! The patches of shade are few and far between, and the mosquitoes!
This happened to be a fairly overcast day, which was a blessing. The mosquitoes did come out much to my chagrin. I'm not in very good shape this summer, so there was some huffing and puffing. It was beautiful and green.
We stopped for a break as Jessica gave us a lovely depiction of Esther. You know, Esther with sunglasses. It works.
And here we all are after said hike. This is one of the few camp pictures that you will actually catch me in. I have to jump into a few to offer proof that I was there. That is the group of girls that I love so much.
