the family hike this morning....

the bottom picture is what my window looked like in the car this morning. and the top picture is what my family and i did with a few friends. =) there's nothing like waking up at 6 in the morning to go on a hike in the rain!!! the feeling of numbness when you try to feel your hands, cold, wet jeans stuck to your legs as your trying to walk, soggy socks and shoes, and being freezing cold for about an hour or so....Ahhh! YES!! there is no feeling that could ever beat that one! not being able to move your figures -let alone feel them- is just great! On the "up" side, though, i was able to hang out with my friends Makenzie, Hayden, Jacova, James, Matt, Alex, Emma, Aubrey, and Rachel!!! that was really fun!! we ended up not hiking the entire trail! PHEW! i didn't even make it half way when i turned around and started heading back down! haha!! Makenzie, hayden, Alex, Emma and I all agreed that it was just too crazy cold and that we wanted to head back! (good choice guys) ;) haha....once we got down to the bottom and back under the cover we all sat down and hung out and talked and waited for the rest of our fellow hikers. haha! Afterwards, (and once everyone was back to the starting place) we asked our parents if we could all go somewhere and get something WARM to eat and drink. We then went to Paradise Bakery and i got a lemon poppy seed glazed muffin with HOT CHOCOLATE!!!! yummm!!!! haha!! it tasted sooo GOOD!!! =) there, we just hung out some more (but this time inside.) and talked. i had a good time. but next time......i'm NOT going on a hike in the rain ever again!!!! HAHAHAhahaha!!!!! nope. you can just count me out of that one! haha!

...now i'm tired and sore and still kind of cold....I need something to get a second wind though becuase my day isn't over yet...... ;)
