Left is death

This morning Kathy, Trilla, Lindsey, Becca and I drove to the Garden of the Gods for a little adventure. The rocks were awesome. Lindsey, Becca and I went rock climbing and got to the top of a lot of the formations. We took tons of pictures along the way. Now here's where the story takes a turn. Left.
"You can never go wrong with left," Lindsey says.
Disagreed. So, as we're driving around the Garden of the Gods looking for sheep and the mythical roadrunner, we come to a fork. We headed left. We drive and drive and drive. Nobody told us that when you go left you leave the park and enter Pike National Forest. So we drove up and up until we reached the top of the mountain. It was crazy- we were literally parallel from Pike's Peak, not that high up but close. We ended up in Woodland Park, a town about 20 miles from Colorado Springs. Here's the thing, when you travel on top of mountains, it takes at least 2 hours to go that distance. We all survived and we all had a really good time.

We got back just in time for the All Job's Daughter Luncheon which was really good. They did ritual awards and Mahaley got 3rd place in 4th Messenger. Everyone was very proud. With no plans for the afternoon, Becca and I hit the pool for a few hours. We finally got some good sun before the reguarly scheduled afternoon storm hit.

I went to the Royalty get-together for Grand Bethel Honored Queens and Princesses before the Formal Banquet. It was nice to meet the other GBHQs and was actually fun. After the Formal Banquet was Formal opening. Madison and Mahaley did a great job carrying the Indiana and Bethel flags.

Tomorrow morning we have Supreme Bethel early early, Royalty luncheon, then Pageant.
