This weekend I went to our Youth Snow Trip for our ward and man was it amazing. I was stupid enough not to bring my camera and take pics, but I can tell you all about it. On Friday after school we all met up at the church at 4 pm and left on our 4 hour car trip. We stopped up North at a Taco Bell to eat dinner, where they bought about 200 tacos, and then we were on our way to our Stake President's cabin. The girls went to the cabin and the boys boys went to another place (except the deacons who had to camp in the snow.) When we got there we couldn't pull in all the way to the cabin cause of all the snow and the cabin was about a half mile away. So, with our mighty muscles, we had to get our snow boots on and walk a half mile in the snow, carrying all of our stuff.
Talk about a great experience! After laughing, falling, and freezing our butts off in the snow. We finally managed to haul all our stuff to the cabin and get warm and toasty. We had a fireside and then got to bed. The next morning we woke up at 6:30 and had breakfast and got ready for the day. Luckily, our Stake President was nice enough to pull all our stuff in the back of his truck, so we could walk easily out to the main road. After walking to the main road we all left for about another 2 hour drive to the place we were going tubing.
When we got there, we got our snow clothes on and started having fun. I went down 7 times, which is a HUGE improvement from last year when I only went down once. Going in pairs, alone, and racing people was soooo much fun!!!!!!!!!! One of the leaders had to come up and get a group of us so we would come down for lunch. We ate lunch and then left for home. Besides getting the worst sunburn ever. And being called a tomato at church the next day, it was an amazing experience and I encourage all of you to go, who haven't been to thew snow. But, don't forget to WEAR SUNSCREEN!!! (Who would expect someone from Phoenix to know to put sunscreen on in the snow!!!)
