I Went Camping!

First of all, I should mention that pretty much all the photos on here are not mine. I went through the past year with a broken camera so all my pictures are "borrowed" from my friends that have functioning cameras. Ok got that business out of the way...now the fun.

Last weekend (Which I guess is now a week ago) I went to Bryce Canyon for the first time ever in my life. It was so much fun and so beautiful! We drove up Thursday night - we meaning myself, Britt, Ayisha, Kyle, Garyn, Becca and Sam. (In no particular order... I could alphabetize it if you want. It was Ayisha, Becca, Bonnie (me), Britt, Garyn, Kyle, Sam). Then Tiare and Rachel came on Friday. Anyways Thurs we really just got there and went to bed.

Friday was a fabulous day. I woke up at 5 something (closer to 6). Too bad my body is starting to be programmed that way. Or maybe its a good thing...but I was walking to the bathroom and there were deer like 10 feet from the door! One was a buck. And right as I was thinking how cool that was, a bird flew into the window! I must admit I laughed a little. The bird was okay though so I'm not a terrible person. Stupid bird... So my morning started out real swell. And the rest of the day was just as good! We left sometime after 7 in the a.m. and hiked around the canyon for a few hours. It was perfect temperature and sunny and amazing. I met an older German couple so I chatted with them when we stopped for lunch. It was fun speaking German again even though I feel like I have lost so much of it!

The group! Becca, Kyle, Me, Britt, Garyn, Ayisha, Sam

Bryce Canyon in all its awesomeness


We thought Bryce deserved to know how much we loved it!


After hiking we went back to the camp and just soaked in the sun - sleeping, reading, enjoying being out of Provo. I must say I was very good about putting on my sunscreen. My mom would be so proud. No sunburns! Tanning is a lost cause anyway...

Hey Look! No Body!

In the evening we had probably the best camp out food ever. People shouldn't eat so well when camping, seriously. We had cheesy potatoes. They were definitely cheesy and oh so delicious. And we had BBQ. I think it was beef. I don't know my meats very well. Whatever it was it tasted good. And Apple cobbler for dessert! And Koolaid Squeeze-its! I was a child again for the 10 seconds it took to down one. I still remember the commercials for those things. Then we all went to the lookout point and saw the stars. It was super windy but so cool. I like stars a lot. I don't see them enough. But I wish I knew more constellations than the big and little dipper. I'm a lost cause. Oh well. Then we all stayed up chatting and went to bed.

It was very cold at night. And that's all I have to say about that.

Saturday morning we got up early and went to watch the sunrise. It was pretty. I was half awake. So I went back to sleep for a few hours when we got back to camp. Then we all packed up and left! 3 and a half hours and many squashed bugs later, I was home. Back to life.
Here are pictures! They're Sam and Britt's though. I'm "borrowing" them. Thank them for me. PS I think it's funny I just said Sam and Britt because those are my sister and bro-in-law's names! These are a different Sam and Britt though...

Playing Titanic - I wonder how many people have done this standing there
