Today was a long day....but it was fun!So I met this girl in my institute class a few weeks ago who is super sweet! She invited me to go on a hike with her and some friends, so we got together today and went. It was amazing, yet HARD!! I guess I thought I was in more shape than what I really was..either that, or it really was hard. We went up Millcreek Canyon here in salt lake, and stopped at this one particular trail...(of which I am spacing out the name of again..). Anyway, we thought it would only be a small hike, because even the sign said 3 miles to the top.....it felt like 6 miles to the top, I SWEAR!! The first part was good, but since my trainer has had me do alot with my legs, they were sore!! I had to take breaks alot, and felt bad because I thought I was holding the group back. BUT they were super nice and 
understanding. lol As we were hiking, we started to come out of the forest where it REALLY started to get hot. I have the sunburn on my arms to prove it! It also started to get really steep, and my legs were really starting to feel the burn. Finally, we reached the top, after 2 1/2 hours. The view was incredible. I even posted the pics on here of the view. You could see all the salt lake valley and the bonneville dam. I absolutely LOVE the outdoors!! I need to work on my hiking skills aparently, but I totally think it was worth it!

ACTUAL PICS OF THE VIEW!!After I got back, my friends had invited me to go to Taylorsville to watch some fireworks. I guess each little town in Salt Lake puts on a 4th of July thing, and this one was AWESOME. They had some dude there, that I could have sworn WAS Neil Dimond, but I guess the guy was a fake but had been offered many roles to play him in movies since he sounds and looks just like him. I SWEAR he really did look like and sound like him. I even called my mom to tell her. She is absolutely obsessed with him, so its pretty funny. Anyway, the fireworks were really neat! They sang the national anthem and then played some other random songs, including the Indiana Jones theme. Haha. Well, after we left, we went to Wendys and I tried their new twisted cookie dough frosty. (pretty good mind you!). All in all, I had an awesome day, but I feel like I am going to fall in love with my pillow and blanket tonight for sure.
