What a Weekend!

On Saturday morn we were up before the sun on a bus full of really cool people (better known as Unison choir). We headed on over to Twin Falls for a day full of fun.
Our day began at the beautiful Twin Falls temple. The trip would have been worth it just for that, but we were in for even more treats.
We had a Subway picnic at Shoshone Falls. They are HUGE this time of year.

We then headed over to CSI to experience the great outdoor adventures, better known as Ropes Courses. Eek! From the day I learned we were to be doing this, I vowed that I wouldn't participate. I am terrified of heights! We were separated into groups (they split Ammon & I up! boo) and did some team building activities (safely on the ground, for the most part). We then put on our harnesses and helmets and were sent to different "elements" of doom. My group was sent to the Zipline. The man in charge said "Who is the most scared of doing this?" And I raised my hand immediately. Unfortunately, that meant I would be relentlessly encouraged to be FIRST.  Awesome. My group was surprisingly persuasive, and I found myself climbing the ladder, and then the ginormous telephone pole's staples. I then stepped onto a very small and VERY high platform. The lady there probably thought I was a complete freak as I hugged the pole and begged her not to push me. I was up there shaking like a leaf for a good ten minutes, maybe longer, before I finally sat down on the platform, closed my eyes, and slid off. The worst part was over, and I was flying through the air with a smile on my face. Woohoo! I learned a lot about myself and about the value of teamwork and encouragement. Such good times.
Ammon climbed a super tall telephone pole, stood on the top of it as it swayed back and forth, jumped off, and caught a trapeze! (He even did a chin up or two). So manly and brave...
After our exciting and tiring adventures, we headed to the church to eat snacks and prepare for our performance (we are a choir after all!). It was wonderful. I so enjoy the music we are able to sing and the message that we can share.
After that? All you can eat at Golden Corral, and back on the bus to come home.
A long, and wonderful day. And let me just tell you, Unison choir is my hero.

Easter Sunday is fast approaching and we will be performing that evening at 6 PM right outside of the Boise temple. The program is called "He is Jesus Christ" by Rob Gardner. Come and see!!!
