Heber Campout

So I had the joys this past weekend to go camping in Heber at the Church camping property. It is located up the side of one of the Mountains in Heber, and I mean WAY up the mountain, I was worried my pour car would not make it at one point! When we got there finally, it was SO cold! I drove up with Dallin, and it was with my old singles ward from Centerville. It was interesting. It was nice to be back with some of my old friends and make new ones! Of course there was always a few people that I did not expect to see, but if you put a smile on your face and shrug it off, it sometimes helps!

My friend Rachelle made a giant Twister game, and that seemed to be popular! After hours of chatter, fun games, and yummy snacks, I felt it was time to hit the sack! I drank a lot of water throughout the night, and I purposely remembered to go potty twice before bed just to be safe! Not that you really wanted to know that, but deep down I think you did! So I made the hike up to our cabin. It was freezing outside, and the cabin was not much warmer! It turned out that my friend who saved me a bed, shafted me and put me on the top bunk! I hate heights, and was not at all excited when I put my air mattress up there and there was no roll off guard left! I put a few layers on and climbed into bed. I was terrified the entire night that I would roll off! Then I got really cold, even though I had plenty of layers. Oh and my iPod died (I thought I charged it! I NEED something to listen to, to help me fall asleep!) Then I woke up at one point and had to go potty, AGAIN! I was too scared to get down; I seriously thought I would fall. Mind you, I sleep on a bed with cinder blocks, up very high, I have a stepping stool to help me get up there and I have never rolled off, but this was higher and I was scared! I decided to wait until everyone else woke up, it was a long night and I never fell asleep, I just tossed and turned all night long.

When the morning chatter started, I jumped down from the top bunk and raced to the restroom. I was so glad the sun was out, it was a little chilly, but better than snowing! We went down to our ‘lodge’ and had a huge breakfast. While others raced off to go tubing (I do NOT tube anymore, not since my accident in the third grade, I have a tendency to go to hospitals…) and hiking a group of us stayed back and cleaned up and played games. It was fun to just relax. I was glad that I was not one that got hurt, there where a lot of bruising and hurt people later that day.

After lunch we packed everything, and headed home. When all was said and done, I am glad that Dallin dragged me out there. It was nice to break away and just feel free for a night.
