Water Activity 8/28

Our activity was held at Sister Balls' house.  The girls had fun sliding down a huge slip and slide.  Sister Doman broke out the water balloons and instead of throwing them at each other, the girls named them and called them their babies.  Well they are girls after all.  And Dave the minion, we will miss you.

We Learned How to Index!

Our activity this week was indexing.   Hopefully you are all working hard on your newly acquired skills.  Did you know that Brother and Sister Carlson are over Indexing for our stake?  If you need help contact them and they would be glad to answer any questions.

Activity 8-14-13

The Miamaids and Beehives rode five miles along the Jordan River Parkway trail.  Except for one small accident that left Kylie with a huge bruise and Sister Balls with three hornet stings, it was a fun adventure.  I think the rest of us can rest easy when it comes to hornet stings,  they seem to prefer the balls women over the rest of us.

The 4th year hike was a combination of hard work, sweat, and swimming!  We had so much fun swimming in the lake and watching the fish jump.  Too bad the scouts had to show up and ruin the peace and quiet.  Actually we were pretty noisy too.

Things we learned from this trip:

1. Your pack gets heavier the longer you carry it

2.  you do not need to bring the whole roll of toilet paper.

3.  Do not pull Sister Maddux under the water and make her drink lake water because she does not want Giardia (AKA: THE RUNS!)

4.  Don't wear your only "underwear" to go swimming.

5.  Hiking makes you sweat

6.  Eat breakfast and lunch before you go hiking.

7.  DO NOT TALK AT 3a.m. when your tent is next to Sister Maddux's tent.

8.  You can pee in the great outdoors.

9.  Put your toilet paper under a rock (don't hold it in your hand until it feels "a little awkward")

10.  Only pack what you will really need to survive for one night.

11.  You don't need a week's worth of food for one day

12.  That one tent was really a 2 man tent not a three man tent.

13.  Snakes swim on top of the water

14.  Dehydrated scrambled eggs are yucky

15.  Horseflies bite

16.  Baby steps up the mountain

17.  Sometimes that short cut isn't worth it.

18.  A rock and a tree make a good potty room

19. Kylie likes to blame everything on Sister Maddux.

20.  Hang your food over a cliff at night if you don't want bears to eat it.

21.Tiggers make great pillows

22.  Sister Maddux talks about Chocolate in her sleep.

23.  Marissa can tell a really scary story about a red ribbon and a headless lady.
