kayaking.

so basically, i had the most amazing weekend of my life.
friday night i went on a night hike to stewart falls.
it's this amazing waterfall up by sundance.
the hike was really easy (definitely my type of hike)
but it was so beautiful and so amazing and so worth it.
it was kind of a bummer that it was in the dark...
but it was still pretty.
then today - i did the most fun thing i have done in a long time
(and i am so proud of myself for doing it because anyone who knows me is certain to know that me and outdoorsy things such as this dont really mix that well)
I WENT KAYAKING!!
ha! it was SO fun!
there were four of us and we were in 2 person kayaks.
it was amazing!
it was about an hour and 45 minutes, and most of it was just floating.
it was beautiful.
the water was absolutely disgustingly cold.
there was this one part on the river where there was a bridge and a funny current and the river guides told us to get out of the water for that part because we were bound to tip but....us being the real smart people that we are...forgot and didnt get out in time, and of course - tipped.
it was FREEEEEZING!
but so worth it!
im not gonna lie..i felt pretty hardcore.
it was the most fun adventure i have gone on this summer!

i think that this weekend my appreciation for nature definitely grew.
i really like being outside.
especially at night.
there is nothing more beautiful to me than the stars.
i love them.
i love looking at them and sitting in awe of the universe and how amazing it is.

okay - i lied.
i love being outside in the summer.
i hate being outside in the winter.
actually, i just hate the winter.
when im done with college im going to move somewhere with no winter.
ha.
