I don't know how I missed writing this post, but it is an experience I definitely wanted to remember. The youth were going hiking up at Waterfall Canyon and so I decided to bring my family. Ron and I have been wanting to take the girls hiking since we have 2 packs now so it was a great opportunity. We started hiking around 6:30 and Nora felt pretty weightless in the pack. I soon realized that this was a steep hike and I was already drenched in sweat. The combination of a hot day, a pack with a warm body, and the fact that I sweat easily when I exercise..... was not a good combination. Oh wait, I also had on a shirt that was showing every drop of sweat. Nice! Anyway, it was one tough hike with Nora on my back, but she was such a trooper and just so happy. She absolutely loves riding in her pack and actually will usually start crying when you take her out. When we got to the top, it was great to see the youth and the waterfall. My pictures don't portray how big the waterfall actually is. Reese loves playing in the water at the top. Nora had a difficult time not drinking the water. She got sick about a week later and I'm pretty sure it was from drinking the water:)
Our young women and young men are awesome! They are truly just good! On the way down, I was able to talk with one of the young women and I was amazed by her desire to just do good all the time. I feel so grateful to be serving in the young women program. These young women are amazing and they motivate me to be better. It was a great hike with the family and our youth. I am definitely learning how to balance church callings and taking care of my family. I often feel that I am missing one or the other so it is really nice when you can have your family come with you to mutual!
