My Life During Summer Vacation 2 July 30, 2004

So… I haven’t posted in a while because not much has happened. I’m going through the most boring part of the summer. My mom is visiting her sister in Idaho, and Dad is working in Alabama. 

Mel and I are crew leaders in vacation bible school this week. I also have to do the skits and I am very nervous about tonight. The theme is SonGames, where it’s like the Olympics, only kid style. So in the skits I am a peppy gymnast, and my teammates from ”Smallvania” are a runner with an attitude (Katie) and a strong but rather babyish weight-lifter (you wouldn’t know him). I have to act like a peppy cheerleader, but that’s not so hard. The trouble is that I am gymnastically challenged. But that’s alright. The worse I do, the more the kids will laugh. It’s all in fun, I guess.

This week (in the day) has been very boring. I had much of nothing to do. I did nothing the whole week until Katie came over. We got in the hot tub, and watched Mulan. We had a great time. Yesterday, we went to the pool with Laura and her family… Let’s just say that didn’t go as well as I had hoped. The pool was awesome, but I couldn’t get in. I had had some stomach trouble and couldn’t get in. I got really burned because came thinking I was getting in. I don’t get burned if I’m in the water. But since I wasn’t in, and had no sunblock, my back burned. My face burned a little, too. It wasn’t one of my better days. I enjoyed spending time with my friends, though.

Tomorrow, Mel and I leave for Tara’s house. This will be a fun weekend. We get to stay at her house until Wednesday, when we all (including Tara and Dave) head home. We will get about 4 hours of sleep, then we will head for Myrtle Beach. We have friends who live there and we will stay with them for about a week. It will be awesome, and I hope my burn heals by then so I can get burned some more! =) 

I’ll post more when I get back!

Camp, Huntington, and Other Things July 3, 2004

Hey! I haven’t gotten the time to write for a while! The reasons behind that are the fact that I went to Huntington quiz finals with my quiz team, and right after that, I went to camp. Huntington was awesome. Our team was hoping for us to either win beautifully, or lose desperately. On one hand, a total victory. On the other hand, awful loss, but a 13 foot swimming pool. Lucky for us, we were completely blown away by the other teams, and got in 8th place. Not so bad, right? There were only 8 teams! But we all enjoyed the pool. I got to stay in a dorm with Laura and Trisha. That was awesome! We had a ton of fun.

The day I got back, I went to camp. It was a blast! I just got back yesterday. I had a really sweet counseler named Karen, and got the most mail of anyone in camp. I think what happened is that my mom told her friend Georgiana to mail me. Georgiana told her friend I was having a mail contest (not true) and her friend got her whole family and her friends to write me. I was the only person who averaged about 10 letters a day!

Everything about my summer has been a blast so far. Can’t wait to do more fun stuff!
