Whoever thought of such a thing? Well, I did. I suggested to Mom and Dad that I wanted a hiking party with my friends. And so, they made it happen. I invited Tulia, Emily and Isabel from my dance team. And Dmitri and Nathan from my class. Nathan and his Mom joined us at Big Basin. Usually, my birthday weekend is super warm....but it was pretty cold today. On the drive into the woods, it was actually super foggy and kinda rainy. Mom was nervous that we were going to be freezing, but once we got moving, it was all good. The kids ran most of the so-called hike...so we did it pretty darn fast. I don't know why everyone was running, but we had fun doing it!
First, they made walking sticks for each guest.
Walking with our sticks to the trailhead.
Another Mom joined in on the fun.

Where'd everyone go? Oh yeah. They're running!

Isabel, Emily, Tulia, Nathan, Dmitri, B and Me! We made it to
Sempervirens Falls in record time!
Now it's time for lunch
And cake. Notice how the girls are warming their hands!
Yes, it's Memorial Weekend and it's freezing in the forest.
Yes, we had cake on the hike.
Boys being boys.
All done.
