Greetings,
Today it’s Bradley typing. We went to bed last night hot and bothered with no blankets. Then at about 7:00, my dad woke up to a very cold temperature! He threw the rest of us our blankets and we are all truly thankful to him for that. After having an 8 minute shower each with our shower tokens, everyone just kind of laid around reading or listening to music for a while. We had just put up our new chili pepper lights (just like the ones on Weinberg’s deck) and a humming bird flew up to them! I was the only one to see it though. Well, hurray for me! Then we headed for Zion National Park. 1st we saw the “Weeping Rock”.
Some of us got fairly soaked from the water dripping. It was actually quite refreshing! Then we did a 2 mile hike, during which Leslie, my mom, and I got to wade in the Virgin River while my dad took pictures. Later we found out it was 109 degree weather! By the end of that, it was quite a few hours after lunchtime and we were all starving. We went and had a delicious lunch at the “Pioneer Restaurant”. Me and Leslie each tried our very first Italian Sodas (what Italian sodas have to do with pioneers I don’t know)! Leslie had peach which was good except for the spearminty after taste. I had chocolate which was kind of like drinking a carbonated tootsie-roll. Let’s just say neither of us finished them. We were so full! Then we came back and after sitting around and baking in the heat, we went to the pool. We didn’t stay long but it was so refreshing! Then we had a nice relaxing evening of home-made pudgy-pies, smores, and popcorn. After I finish typing, we are going to play oh-heck so good night and pleasant dreams to all!
