Let's fall off a cliff.

First off, let me quickly make it clear why I have been blogging lately:
It has become my new journal.
It is easy to record my life.
It is entertaining to upload pics & be creative.
It gives my friends & family the slightest idea of what my life is like!
It is especially great for my family so they can see what I am up to :)
It is a great way for me to share my ideas & thoughts & to possibly be inspirational.
& last... I simply just love blogging.

Okay now that we have that clear, let me share with you a great new adventure that I took part in tonight.

REPELLiNG

at Three Peaks!

For family home evening, our ward went repelling! What an adventurous activity. Decided we should give it a try---heck what did we have to lose? Its not like we could die from falling off the rocks or anything... ;)

 This is the peak that we repelled off of. Not the best quality picture, but you can get an idea of the size and shape of the cliff thing. Scary!

All harnessed up! I was pretty nervous, but super excited!

Tiana and I on top of the peak-- you could see the entire valley!

 This is a skinny dog named Summer that randomly showed up to climb the rocks and repell with us. We have no idea where she came from . . . I thought she looked like a hyena. But she turned out to be a very nice dog. Ha weird. 

 I may or may not have been straddling tiana at this point. . . ha ha we were on a steep rock. No big.

Check out her electric green eyes though! Crazy cool!

 Off we go! Literally. . . "off the edge of the cliff!"

 I loved it! Tiana on the other hand, was quite nervous.

 Just making our way down the edge of the rock.
It was like walking straight down!

 Look I can do it one handed!

 This is what the rope did to all our hands. Hm :)

We repelled until there was no more sun. Then we built a fire and roasted hotdogs, marshmallows, starbursts, and crescent roll things! (intended for pigs in a blanket)

But I decided to try a marshmallow in a blanket! It was a little doughy, but gooey from the mallow and quite delicious.

We left smelling like a camp fire. The entire night was a blast! It made me super excited for summer and for the [hopefully] many fires that we will be having!

Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to go repelling again someday!
