Day 15: Salt Lake City and Bear Lake
To wake us up, the counselors had the bright idea to blast
popular Mormon music at 7am. After a long night of eating candy till 1am, we
all felt not so great when morning came around. For breakfast we ate a
traveling breakfast of poptarts and grapes.
We drove about 45mins to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints. The tour guides enlightened us on how their religion differs from
common Christian beliefs and led us on a tour of their chapels.
After that, we spent a few hours at the largest mall in
Utah. Most of us took advantage of the Apple store and Chic-fil-a along with
the large selection of stores to shop in. Some popular store picks were Forever
21, American Eagle, Cotton On, Vans, Rolex (although we were all too broke to
buy anything), H&M, Alex and Ani, Madewell, and Bohme. Evan bought Pepsi
logo tights, Joe got a windbreaker that everyone likes, and others bought rodeo
worthy clothes.
We left around 1pm and drove for about 2 hours to a Wal-Mart
where Harrison bought a tiny unicorn shirts and Hayden bought a 12 pack of
Arnold Palmers. We drove another 2 hours playing card games and made bracelets
to pass time. Josh and Jacob tried to eat cookies off their foreheads without
hands. Emily tricked out some white sneakers with red and blue sharpies for 4th
of July.
Tonight we’re staying at Bear Lake Campground. When we
arrived to the campground, we got to see the beautiful view of the lake as we
went down the mountain. As we waited for the cooks to make dinner, we played
football, Frisbee, and set up our beds for the night. The cooks made a great
dinner of chicken fettuccini with broccoli with pudding for dessert. After
dinner we competed in a water balloon-tossing contest between our groups. After
each group had a winner, they competed for the final win. Happy won the battle,
but Sneezys are in lead overall. After that we took a plunge into the (what we
were expecting to be warm but was actually polar bear arctic cold) lake where
we took a giant bath. Once our legs were numb and our lips were purple, we
headed back to camp for a sing-a-long around the warm fire. Then Reanna, Piper,
Anna Riley, and Madison Styer had a sing-a-long of their own while they wrote
the rest of the blog post. Everyone else took showers and got ready for bed in
anticipation for a good time tomorrow at Jackson Hole, Wyoming!
