Teaching Primary

My mom got asked twice to sub for Primary today in church, so she let me teach one of the classes. I taught Emilie's class. Usually there are 5 girls in the class but today it was only her and her best friend, Kayla. Because the girls that just barely turned twelve had to do something for Young Womens today during the class. Anyway, it turns out they had the lesson I was teaching alst week. So it went by really fast. I dont' know how primary teachers make their lessons last an hour. 15 minutes and I was done. So.....they played hang man and talked and drew on the board. Maybe it was just a slow lesson, I don't know why I couldn't make it last longer. But my mom said she got done really early too.

Movie Review: Fishtales

Chrisanne came over last night and we watched Fishtales. The idea of the movie was cute but it was just a weird movie. The story was all over the place and it was really hard to follow! It was PG but I don't even think little kids will like it that much. I, personally, like mermaids and exepcted it to be super cute. If it wouldn't have been so all over the place it could have been a good movie. None of us that watched it really liked it. The acting wasn't great either, especially on the part of the young girl. I'd give this movie 1/2 a star.

Haircut

I got my hair cut on Friday!!! I got bangs!!! I haven't had bangs since 6th grade! I was SO scared to get them! But I think they look okay. Here's a couple pictures of me getting them cut.

Timpanogos Cave

Yesterday my ward, for mutual, went on a hike up to Timp Cave.

Here are some of us meeting at the church.
Bo 'fell asleep' on the ride up. I put it in '' cause he said he wasn't really sleeping. But it made for a good picture either way.
Let's start up the trail!!!!!

All over the place there are places outlined in white. We, for some reason, decided they are tiger caves.

we aren't even very high in this picture.
The path is really pretty. But jsut cause it's paved, does NOT mean it's easy!
Pretty nature

Here's me sitting on a cliff. This is still towards the beginning, so I'm still happy and not quite so exhausted.
We went up in two groups. My group started it off. This is Bo and Andy, they were in aour group....for approximately 30 seconds. Then they got way far ahead of us. This is them on the other side, probably about 5 miles ahead of us. Just kiddin, not quite that much, but a LOT farther than us. Bo's posing.
OOOHH!!!! mysterious gate!!
I was kinda scared to go through the tunnels.
nice view

These looked like crystals to me, except made out of some kind of stone.

Another tunnel
There was all kinda of interesting stone there.
We're getting pretty high

and I'm getting tired and cranky. This is how happy I was getting towards the top. Everyone kept telling me it was such an easy hike. They were seriously mistaken! It was SO SO SO hard!!! I am incredibly sore today! I could barely move, and I had to go to school.

This is a butterfly!!!!! You can only see the outline but it was really pretty!

The butterfly's in this one too. wow! Look at that.
Here's some of us at the crystal rock

more pretty nature
This is at the top. We were REALLY high!!!
This is the door to Lindsay's house. Just kidding, it's the door to get in the cave.
here's some more interesting rock
another view of the top.

Welcome to the cave
I still don't know where that leads to.....

Here's the whole group at the cave

There was lots of crazy stuff inside!
This picture is actually sideways....oops. But it really interesting. We couldnt' touch anything but I wondered what it felt like.
Enjoy the pictures

Here's Bo in the cave.

The Stalagtites and Stalagmites were so cool!


Here's some water. It was REALLY clear.
It's super dark in there. The flash along with the little light they have make the pictures better, but it's still not as cool as actually being there.

They are almost touching.
This was really cool.
This is the heart of Timpanogos Cave. That's really what it's called. There's a story behind it, but I can't remember it...
Here's some more really clear water. They said it would taste better than any water we've probably ever had, but we weren't allowed to drink it. Not that I would probably.
interesting structures

So much cool stuff in there.
It looked like snow.
This is a column, when they touch.
These looked like sea creatures...or something.

The cave was SO awesome!!!! I'm glad I did it, but I can almost guarantee you I'll never do it again.
