| Frost Valley in Claryville, New York |
I had such a great weekend with my sisters! We were able to get away from New Jersey for the weekend (which was
so needed!) and stayed up in Frost Valley, New York. While a lot of us were concerned about the living conditions (leaking walls and ceilings from the torrential rain on Saturday night... that's always fun....) we were able to stick it out and make the best of our weekend.
As soon as we settled in,
we went on a hike to see a
gorgeous waterfall. The views during the hike was so beautiful. When we got to the waterfall, some sisters and I climbed to the bottom of the waterfall. It was quite a hike, but so worth it! (PS: don't wear converses on hikes... they aren't the best to walk in...)
After our hike, we had a
campfire outside one of our cabins and made some s'mores. It was our only nice night of the weekend, and it was very relaxing.

| Ready to zip-line. |
On Saturday, we did some outdoor
group activities in the morning and
took some risks in the afternoon. We were given the opportunity to
zip-line,
jump off a tree to try and grab a ball (or a "
leap of faith"), and
walk across a log suspended very high in the air. We were all supporting each other, and a few conquered their fears, which I'm so proud of!

| Us crazies who went out in the rain. |
That night, we stayed indoors for it was pouring outside. Some of us crazy sisters decided to
run and dance outside in the pouring rain. After we were all cleaned up, we sat around and
pigged out on junk food while playing
"Whose Line is it Anyway" where we
put on funny skits for everyone. A few of us also stayed up pretty late and were
being ridiculously crazy by giving ourselves new hairdos, hehe.
From this weekend, I got to know a lot of my sisters more, especially our newly-initiated Beta class. It was such a great weekend to have before all the stress kicks in for the last stretch of the spring semester. I had such a great time, being away from New Jersey and being with some of the people who matter most.
I'm so glad to call these girls my sisters and I wouldn't trade them for the world. ♥
