Basically A Perfect Weekend

Michelle and I were talking about what a fun weekend we had and we both agreed that it was basically a perfect weekend. We got to spend lots of time with lots of our friends and the weather was perfect! The weather was so nice in fact that I think it kind of caught a lot of us off guard. (blog continued below pictures)

The temperature kind of skipped the 50's, 60's and 70's and jumped right up to the 80's and 90's. It feels like I have been waiting forever for it be warm enough outside to not need a big jacket. Well that is definitely not a problem anymore! On Friday there was a Elder's Quorum BBQ at Green Lakes and everyone's families were invited. Everybody helped chip in to help bring stuff and it turned out amazing. There was so much great food and an amazing turnout. Those of us who could still run after eating multiple burgers and hot dogs played ultimate frisbee. This BBQ is one of my favorite experiences here in Syracuse. On Saturday we went to a really beautiful State Park that some of our friends told us about. It is called Chittenango Falls. There is a nice waterfall, some easy hiking, and a fun little river to walk around in and cool off. We went with the Matthews and Jenny and Michelle did some very brave exploring walking upstream in the river barefoot. It was another amazing day outside and I can't think of any better way to have spent it. Finally on Sunday we had a great time hanging out with friends and again eating as much as we could handle of the amazing taco dinner that some of our friends organized. All in all the weather was perfect and we got to spend so much time outside and with our friends. Don't ask how but I somehow managed to write the final paper for one of my classes on Saturday as well.
