October 24, 2008: Hiking & a Birthday Party

To be honest, I was dreading today. My school was supposed to go on an 11 mile hike and I had a lot of papers that had to be graded (so I wanted to finish those instead). However, the weather turned out to be perfect. It wasn't hot & it wasn't cold; the sun was shining and there was a nice cool breeze. Our destination was a park, which is where we were going to eat lunch.

You have to look hard because it's hard to spot the kids in their green sweats (with all the green in the background).

It was so peaceful and scenic. Plus, the kids loved the playground and had fun running around.

It's almost like "WHERE'S WALDO"...see if you can spot Sarah in the red shirt??!

We were at the park for about an hour and half and before we left, a group of kids were assigned to pick-up trash and clean the bathrooms. The kids had buckets, brooms & mops to clean the toilets too! Very interesting!!

Oh, and I changed my mind about the hike; I needed it! I was sore, but it was a great workout!

Later that evening, we went out to eat and sang karaoke for Caitlyn's birthday...she was turning 22!!

I took this picture a couple days earlier. It was her actual birthday when we all got her a cake and sang. It was delicious!

This was at karaoke, can you tell? They sang "The Right Stuff" by New Kids on the Block....with motions and everything!!
