Slide on up to Twin Peaks!

First off, I'd like to mention that on Sunday, I had the privilege of attending a Baptist Church service. It was very energetic, enthusiastic and participatory; lots of "Thank you, Jesus!" and "Amen"'s going around. The people were all very welcoming, so it was a good experience.
While the weather was still nice, some of us got out and hiked up to Twin Peaks, but first we stopped by some slides we had heard about. Now these are no ordinary slides; they require cardboard boxes and are maybe about 50 ft. long and made out of concrete. They were so fast! and so fun! Barrett and I went tandem! You really do come shooting out of the bottom.
It was quite a hike up to the top of what is known as Twin Peaks (two peaks, side by side that offer two of the highest points and best views in the city...really creative name, I know).

Our phrase for the afternoon was "It'll be even better on the next tier!" and it was true...
Katie, Meghan and Corinna. Still lookin' good!
We were welcomed to the top by a magnificent sun-set.
So, obviously we had to stop and take some pictures...Corinna and I are very ninja like haha
Look how high we can jump!
Cliche, but it had to be done...LOVE
