This Random Girl's Blog: August 2013

Monday: We packed up which took hours and drove off. The drive was looooooooooooooooooooooooong and the kids were LOUD! It was really fun with all the games ans such we did in the car! The drive through the mountains was gorgeous, and I couldn't believe it when we got near the lake! The water was so clear and peaceful, and then we crossed the Idaho boarder. So part of our trip was spent in Idaho! or at least 5 minutes was... We eventually found the cabin which is Rosanne's family's cabin, that we were going to be camping outside of. The cabin was not what I had in mind. I had been imagining cabins like the ones we had a girls camp, no this was an A-frame attached to a mini cabin house. If I had known that I would've brought my straightener and such. Darn it. The kids were all to eager to get into the water, me not so much, since it was the infamous time of the month. Gr... When we got to the water, Kate and I got into a boat and headed off down into the blue. The farther we got the lighter and more vibrant of a color the water got. Eventually Kate and I got stuck and couldn't go forwards or backwards... We were stuck, then Johnny and Adam came, who were mad at us because we had kicked them out of the boat for trying to commandeer the boat, and getting mad at us with no purpose. But still they were our only hope and thankfully they did help us, but it caused them to be slowed down and then adam started freaking out and threatened mutiny. So they forced us off, and me and kate found they had pulled us to a point where we could just walk back so that's what we did. That night, I can't remember what we ate, but we went down to the beach and played pig sticks. It was a lot of fun, but no one ever seemed to get the bottle so far into the lake that we wouldn't get it without getting really wet... eh, it was super fun anyway!!! Later when it was like pretty much completely dark, mom brought out the cake! yum!! I probably ate more than I should've but ya know...
Tuesday: I woke up that morning and worked on my story. Then all the little kids joined me while drawing, it was fun... today I wasn't planning on going in the water that much so I just went around in my shirt and didn't put any sunscreen on, that was a big mistake because I got the worst sunburn of probably my life. It was fun in the water, a fish hit my leg and I jumped on the boat... hey I couldn't see it so it freaked me out... On another note we had another Adam mutiny in which he threatened to attack us with a paddle, and then threatened to throw johnny's shirt into the water... Actually it was really adam's shirt johnny had just borrowed it, so we HAD to point that out to adam. He started crying so we had him walk back to shore... After all this I went back and held arwen under the shade, and ate snacks. When night came it turned out my entire back, legs, and face, was bright red. I couldn't move! Everyone went inside and we played Arkham Horor.
Wednesday:Wednesday morning I lurched over towards the cabin and the chairs... my legs and back refused to bend. As the day went on the ibuprofen started to kick in and I was able to start bending and walking around like nothing hurt. Rosanne's relatives with the girls our age came and I was able to meet them. Jessica was the oldest (my age) and was so inviting and cheery! Her younger sisters, who forgot to tell me their names, were so fun too!!! I had a great time with them, and then their cousin Breah arrived! She was also very out there and inviting! We all helping bring things down to the shore and set up, and then we headed out into the waters. We were all talking when Breah mentioned Full Metal Alchemist, and me and her started fangirling and asking each other what mangas the other had seen. Both of us had watched or read Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, so we started fangirling over that, and then Fai, and so on... Jessica was completely confused about what we were talking about so we used Avatar the Last Airbender as an example, and she understood, but still couldn't follow so we changed the subject. All of us got on the raft with the little kids and I left for a bit to go play with Ada, and got more sunscreen on. Ada and I made sandcastles, and then I went back. Some of Breah's brothers had joined us, a twelve year old and a ten year old. They kept trying to tip the raft, so we shoved them off and chatted and played with the younger children on the raft. Then all the children left and Breah's 15 year old brother joined us... His first introduction was asking who we are sticking his hand out to Kate and introducing himself as 'Sexy' I almost died laughing at Kate's facial expression. She was repulsed, but later on he was just hilarious. Then a dog came on the raft and one by one every left, starting with Kate. Jessica's younger sisters and I stayed in the water for a bit and swam around. We soon joined the others in a big group in which we all talked. One of my favorite conversations was about words with different meanings where I mentions how I could say 'I'm feeling gay today!' and everyone would know I meant happy, and how if I did that at school... well it would just get awkward. Then Sam (one of Jessica's younger sisters) asked what gay was. Kate told her that it used to mean happy but it doesn't anymore. She stood up and said "Oh in that case, I'm gay!" Holding back laughter we all freaked telling her that it USED to mean that but doesn't anymore and that she shouldn't go around telling people that. Eventually we all went back to the raft and got in the water. Breah and the boys moved the raft out to a spot where me and Jessica couldn't touch the bottom, and the raft wars begun there. Brennon jumped up on the raft and started making a speech about how we were no longer the younger kids and that now we were the big kids and that we controlled the raft, etc, etc. So me and Breah shoved him off. Breah then jumped up and declared that since she was the oldest she controlled the raft, and started shoving people off. It eventually got to a point in which me and Jessica were the only ones that hadn't been shoved off and so we stuck together clinging on for dear lift. At one point half of them ganged up on Jessica and she fell off, although I tried to keep her on... Then they came after me, but they, no, they could not get me into the water. Everyone, even Breah, that went after wound up in the water leaving me victorious. Then they're aunt and uncle came and it became a war of trying to stay on the raft. They flipped and tossed the raft to the point where it was vertical so pretty much everyone fell off. Kate accidentally embarrassed me by trying to stay on and pulled my swim bottoms down, thankfully no one saw... but still.. At one point Breah, her siblings, aunt and uncle, were all at one end of the raft trying to tip it, and they were so unbalanced that I just lightly tapped Breah and they all fell in. Dad came near the end of it and had Kate and I go in, shower up and pack. After packing I sat back and talked with Jessica and Breah, and K about books, writing, and other stuff. We all had S'mores and then because josh was being really bad, we packed up and left.
It was really fun!
