So I know this isn’t the only type of picnic I’ve been on, but all I think about is High School. We would pick a couple of days in the year and my friends and I would have a “picnic” lunch. We’d sit around on a towel or blanket or just the grass under our favorite tree and share a food that we’d brought. I actually have a picture somewhere of us throwing goldfish crackers in the air like confetti. We were big fans of the little things in life, and those picnics were never dull.

Parade! Oh I’ve been in my fair share. In elementary school the girl scout troop I was in teamed up with the rest of them in the area and we marched through downtown during Colony Days Parade. In high school I was in the Colorguard, and we did 3 parades, sometimes 4, in the area. The first two years were fun and terrifying, especially when we had a competition the second year and the sun was in our eyes. STRESS! haha. We loved to show off our skills and try hard tricks and have fun. Then after high school I did the 4th of July parade with the youth center I worked at and coached a colorguard team and did a parade with them. Now I’m out of the parade game and just spectate :)

I was trying to think of a good story for driving, but I don’t really have one. I mean, I got my license. I’ve pretty much been driving whenever i needed to since then. I’ve had some good times driving though. OH, here’s a story. My friends and I, for the last 8 years I would guess, decided that songs were best in cars. On the way to class we would belt out some Annie Lennox or Moulin Rouge or whatever, loud and unafraid, bad voices or colds or food in our mouths. We would play air instruments (except the driver) and end up laughing way too hard. When we went on road trips, we would pick a song and make a video of everyone singing it. Usually it was just a video of the road, but you can hear us all. It is fun to look back on those and remember those trips. Yeah. Driving. haha :)

I have this badge, but it is hard to think of a special or outstanding time I watched it happen. I’ve seen the sun come up while camping, while hanging out with friends, while working. Actually, just saying that made me think of one of the best sunrise days. My friends and I were hanging out, either our senior year or the year after. My friends and I would chill and do weird make up and crazy clothes and invent these silly photoshoots. We would eat and laugh too hard and dance around and be crazy. After all that, we went out to shoot some photos in the yard, with the old car and high weeds. We walked around the block as the sun slowly rose, giving us some of our favorite lighting, hilarious memories, and some great pictures.

So, first I wasn’t going to reblog this badge, but then I decided that my experiences count. When I was a girl scout, 10+ years ago, we went on a backpacking trip. We “trained” for a few months, taking small hikes and moving on to longer ones. The whole troop came off and on, but when the time came for the real thing, I was just me and my best friend (even to this day), Val. Her mom was the troop leader and my dad is addicted to all things camping, so they came with us.
Honestly, I was terrified and excited. People like me, who would rather sit and read all day, aren’t really the “hike 8+ miles for 3 days with all your supplies on your back” kinds of people. I love camping though, and I was with my bff, so I had a go. On our second day, we hiked the second half our trail and ended up in this little area at a lake. It wasn’t a big lake, but it butted up against the side of a mountain. It was spring, and we had no rain or snow at our level, but a bit up the mountain we could see a patch of snow wedged between to outcroppings of rocks. We thought about it and thought about it, and finally my dad and I couldn’t resist temptation. Val and her mom went to look at another lake, and we went to navigating the rocky slant, dodging weird bushes and slippery spots along the way.
This is my favorite part. When we go to the little spot of snow, we P-ed in the snow. That’s right. WE PEED IN THE SNOW. Except not really. My last name starts with a P, and so my dad and I hunted down some rocks and made a giant “P” in the patch of snow. We sat down and had a snack, looking over the lake and the forest. I remember being struck by this weird sense of wonder. No cars, no powerlines, heck, no trail in sight. We made our way back down the mountain and when Val and her mom came back we whipped out the binoculars, and luckily we were able to see our “P” in the snow.
Anywho, that’s my story of the first mountain I climbed.
