HARDEST HIKE OF MY LIFE! Last day in Gilbert!

-

 Hey guys! This is the last part of my Gilbert portion of the trip! This was one of my favorite days! 

Day 7: On Monday morning we thought that it would be fun to try out another hike! We decided to go on a little drive to the Perlota Trail! This was a 5 mile steep roundtrip hike! I was totally up for it, but I also didn't know what to expect. The hike was hard and the heat was draining. We took very few stops for water and the trail was uphill and rocky. It took a few hours hiking the way up there and I felt like giving up. We saw so much cool wildlife and the view kept getting better and better. After so much labor and hard work I had to requirements for the top. Water, shade, and a view worth looking at. Finally, after  so much pain we arrived at the top of the trail. And sure enough, the view was incredible. The rocks provided so much shade and relief for my achy bones. I hoped that the way down would be easier. It seemed to go by so much faster because it was downhill. After another 2.5 miles of hiking we made it to the bottom. I felt so much relief. The sky became dimmer and dimmer as we decided what to do for dinner. We decided to go eat at a place we used to love. Backyard Taco. I got a delicious Carne Asada burrito which I smothered in spicy salsas. The food was delicious. After dinner we went to WinCo for groceries and for some ice cream. We went home and indulged ourselves with yummy ice creams. I fell asleep sore but happy, sad but excited for our adventures beyond Arizona.

 It has been so long since I have written on my blog!!! I have so much to catch up on here! On the last day of school (which was way back on May 27th) My family and I got together with the Armstrongs and we had a last day of School/ Glow party in the church gym! We played around on scooters and with glow sticks and we also presented a couple of projects we had been working on throughout the year. We've gone to Roaring Springs several times (Twice when my mom was out of town on a sisters weekend in Utah. She got to see Les Miserables at a really nice theater. I was so extremely jealous.) I got to see my friend Lydia there quite a bit. Britton overcame his fears and went on both drop slides! Honestly if that was me, I probably would have thrown up or passed out.  Maybe I'm being dramatic but watching him go down......... *holds stomach in place* While my mom was in Utah seeing my favorite Broadway music on stage....I was doing yard work in my backyard listening to the movie vers...

Happy Birthday Dad! These past few weeks have been full of fun festivities as we have celebrated my dad's 40th birthday. We had an epic surprise party for him, bringing almost all of his family up discreetly . He already knew that 2 of his sisters were coming and so we hung out with them for the first day and then on Friday the 13th we sent him to Costco with Cari. The party was soon to begin. Lori, her kids, my mom, me, and my brothers started setting up the party. Then at about 3:30 guests started to arrive. My grandma and grandpa Wheeler, my great-grandma  Janice  my uncle Jeff, and my cousin Grayson all traveled from Utah to celebrate the occasion. Once they all arrived we started to divide and conquer as we finished decorating and preparing for the party. We decided to put my grandma Janice on the front couch with a Davy-Crocket Coonskin hat and a massive green party hat on top of her head, and had her pose with a stone expression while the rest of us hid behind a wall.
