Safety

We went on a beautiful hike this morning at the city of rocks. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed exploring and seeing the amazing rock climbers along the way. Near the end, our group of about twenty got split in two and the group ahead took a wrong turn and were lost for about an hour. Brad, Luke and I were in the second group and when we finished the hike we expected to see the first group which included all of our other children. At first I wasn’t too worried but when it turned into over thirty minutes without finding them, I felt a little sick to my stomach. They did have adults with them and my amazing niece who is a nurse and trained in outdoor medical emergencies, but my momma heart just wasn’t thinking clearly. Gratefully not too much longer after that we finally got connected with the group and they were led back to the cars. My kids were thirsty and tired but safe! Phew.

The rest of the day was much less dramatic. We had fun at the pool, ate yummy food, enjoyed a hilarious and fun talent show, and had a campfire. It’s been a great reunion!
