Here's a glimpse into my 2024.

Here's a short vlog of our experience hiking Hunter Creek Trail in Reno, Nevada. This 6 mile out and back trail ends with a view of a beautiful waterfall. We went in mid-November and there was plenty of water with some of it being frozen. Be prepared for snow and ice if you hike in the winter!

On Wednesday, July 31st, my sisters and I visited one of our favorite childhood spots- Noah's Ark Waterpark in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin! It's also known as America's largest outdoor waterpark. We had an amazing time but really missed our brother and parents!
