Camping, General Conference, Donating Blood

So two weeks ago the Ogdens invited me to come camping with them for three days and even though I was already behind with school work, I couldn't possibly refuse an opportunity to spend time with my awesome family WHILE going on a fun adventure. But before we made our way to Base Camp 1 we saw the Hunger Games. It was a good movie and I enjoyed it. :)

After the movie we headed up to our camp site. We stayed in their camper, which they had left in the middle of nowhere near Green River, and it was in a cool area. We didn't get in until late Friday evening, but on Saturday we did a lot of fun things. We went hiking up Black Dragon Wash, played a fun bean bag game, had a bonfire and cooked our dinner on it, celebrated Taylor's birthday a day early, played Settlers of Catan (of course), and other fun things. It was really nice to spend time with my family. I sure do love them a lot.

THEN this last weekend was General Conference which was so amazing! I really felt that a lot of those talks connected to me and were something I needed to hear. It's definitely helped me to make some hard decisions I've had lately. Oh also, last week I donated blood for the first time! It was a lot of fun and I want to do it some more.

Anyways, here's some pictures from our trip, but they're not really in any order of what we did.


Just chilling on the edge of a 400 or so ft cliff.



This was a crack between two cliffs we found while climbing up. Just below me is a llllooonnnggg ways down.


Thought I would get a cool shot of my feet dangling off the cliff.


Look at this adorable couple! Chelsey and Taylor are such good parents to baby Diesel.



The entrance into Black Dragon Wash.


Look how smiley baby Diesel is! He is one happy baby.


And here's base camp. It may not look like much, but it sure is a good little camper.
