All The Way To The Top

Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! Today was an incredibly full day! My legs are dead, I am dead exhausted but I had a blast! We hiked over four miles today and the view was spectacular. Please, sit back, watch (read), and enjoy my many hiking stories in the hot state of Utah. 

So this morning I was roused from my bed at an unearthly hour. 6:00 AM PEOPLE!!!! I think my parents had it out for me. But anyway, we started towards Zion National Park and the rocks that were ready for us to climb. Our first stop was to prepare for what was to come and warm up the ole legs. Zane and I scaled some rocks and our parents freaked, naturally, until they saw how semi-safe it was! We hopped back in the car after climbing for a bit and drove to the trail for a canyon overlook. The trail itself was winding and rocky and so much fun! I took a ton of pictures and I even took some that would be worthy to be called senior pictures. When we got to the lookout point, it was an absolutely beautiful sight. The mountains formed a fortress around the outlook and it was breathtaking. A nice lady took our family's picture and her husband was clutch and jumped up on a rock to get a better angle. On the way back down, two guys behind me and dad were HILARIOUS and kept making me laugh. They were just chatting between themselves and I couldn't help but listen. When we got to the bottom, we joined a long procession of cars going in a massive tunnel through a mountain. In the words of one of my friends, it was epic.

After we emerged from the tunnel, the view that met us was breathtaking. Even more mountains formed walls and it literally looked like something straight out of Cars. We parked our RV at a visitor's center and, naturally, I bought a shirt and sticker. Then we went on a 3.15 mile roundtrip hike up the side of a mountain. Guys I died about halfway but it's okay because I made it back down. At the top, we took an extra loop that popped us out at the tippy top of the mountain. That was also a breathtaking sight. I think the word that describes our trip was breathtaking. Before we went on our hike, I was standing in line for the bathroom and a nice lady complimented my hair clip. She then proceeded to show me her bracelet she got at the Grand Canyon. It was very fun talking to her while I waited, she was so sweet. My legs feel dead after a long day of hiking but it was so worth it. 

Thank you for joining me in my many adventures today! I will have more for you guys tomorrow because VEGAS HERE I COMEEE!!! Sorry, I had to. I know you all will enjoy my stories tho! I will catch you guys next time with more meanderings!

Hello fellow Homo Sapiens!! My mom told me to make this blog for school (yuckkkk) but I figured why not have fun in the midst of school! So, my first post, I know, I know, the big question is “what are you going to talk about Micah?” Well that’s an easy answer, while I could strike up a conversation with a wall, I have an easier solution. A ROAD TRIP! See, my dad (I call him padre often, just for future references), has to visit a bunch of churches all over the good ole USA. Thus making me, my younger brother Zane, my mom, and my dad live in an RV for the month of September and travel all over. So the good news is, I actually have something to talk about instead of just merely say “uhhh I did school today. And read a book.” To start off my lovely little blog (who am I kidding, we all know it’s gonna be crazy 😂), we are going to talk about weddings. Yep, you heard me, a wedding. I know so many of you are asking, “MICAH YOU GOT MARRIED???” So I will answer it right here, heck no I did n...

FAMILY FRIENDS

 Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! Today was an early start! My parents woke up at 5:30 am to start the drive from Arther, Illinois to Kansas City, Missouri. I woke up briefly when they first started driving and migrated to my parent's bed and slept for another hour or two. After I woke up, I chatted with my dad for about another hour until I decided to waste my life watching Gilmore Girls.  Can someone explain to me the point of Gilmore Girls and why it's weirdly addicting to watch it??? Like the whole show just has a ton of arguing and sarcastic comments that are really funny. I find myself laughing but at the same time, I'm bored with all the fighting that goes on between the main character and her mother. But anyway, that's enough of my thoughts on addicting Gilmore Girls. After our long drive, my mom had a meeting with the company she (and I) work through. THEN we were FINALLY on our way to visit our friends! We parked our RV in their yard and I bolted out to give everyon...

Chillin with Mr. Lombardi

Me and Mr. Lombardi Hello my fellow Homo Sapiens! It's already time for my second post! It feels like I wrote the first one just yesterday....wait, guys it was just yesterday. We are on our way from the good ole state of Wisconsin to I have no clue where. I realize now that the nickname for Wisconsin people, a cheesehead, is so accurate. And the people embrace it. There was cheese themed stuff everywhere. And lemme tell you, it was TORTURE for someone who can't have dairy. I see cheese stuff and think "ooo that would be yummy" but then I remember the stomach pains I would have to endure in the future....I guess some things wouldn't be worth it. But guys it was cheese....  Anyway! Enough about cheese, The highlight of the day yesterday by far was visiting Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. Although I am not a Packers fan (GO NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!!), I felt the need to be supportive for the Packers. The only reason I felt that was because my sister, Lydia, ...
