long hike on pioneer day

Well our family and the Bloxhams decided that it would be a good idea to go on a 6 mile hike on pioneer day. (If you were wondering, its 3 up and 3 down, not 6 both ways, that would just be horrible!!) So we drive up to American Fark (Fork) to where I went to girls camp sort of. Me and Syd watched t he tower of terror movie and it was good but way dumb. Anyway, we get to way up where and then start to hike. Its all pretty at first and I'm thinking that its not gonna be so hard. And the lake at the top will be so pretty and then Ill jump into the clear cool water and just swim around for a while. After about a half mile, the only thing on my mind was surviving! It was so hard!! I mean seriously it was terrible! It was so steep and there was so many rocks and oh ya I figured out that I rubbed against some stinging nettle but I didn't really figure that out until Amy told me. Ya not so good. So we pass like 10 people and every time they say oh your almost there, and its so pretty once you get up there, and oh its just around that bend, ya none of those people were right. Some people are such LIARS! GRRR! We finally finally finally get up there after 1 hour and 15 minutes. For just 3 miles?? See what I mean? I finally get a view of the lake and it was the saddest sight ever! mosquito's everywhere on top of the water, the darkest more disgusting water ever and nothing to attach a top swing from. Not to mention that we could see fish jump up and eat the mosquito's, no it's not cool its gross. We all kind of eat dinner while were being eaten by mosquito's which are being eaten by fish which are being eaten by people. Its a food circle! We all decide that its time to go back since its getting dark and we still have 3 miles to hike, aah but here's the catch, these 3 miles are downhill! so me and Syd start running down and were cruising then we get scared out of our wits by Mike, Kayla, and Lindsay so we decide to scare my mom, dad, Amy, and Jessie. It was so funny!! Boy can I tell ya!! We all get down safe, (and I didn't touch the stinging nettle this time!) and then drive home and decide to do fireworks, provided by the Bloxhams of course and so we do them and it turns out that they were from Wyoming! So were sitting there thinking wow these are awesome I have never seen fireworks like these before, hmm... I wonder why? Maybe that's because their illegals!! So a police officer comes and says I saw your fireworks can I see them?? Mike lets her see them and then she said do you want me to take those or give you a ticket? We turned over the fireworks and then decided to do one more, turns out it shot off stuff too so we all run into the backyard and jump in the pool. We swam for a couple hours or until like midnight or so. Even though the hike was kind of blah, that pioneer day turned out to be great!
