After a long, long time

It's seems like forever since I last posted. A lot has happened.

Saturday July 16: After our long walk, we decided to go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in Grand Rapids. That is one hilarious movie. When we got home, our parents weren't there. A little later, they came in and told us that they had seen it. They came in with piles of candy and chocolate. -sigh- I was packing for camp.

Sunday July 17: I helped out in the back with the kids along with Jess. After church we went home. We ate. Then we decided we wanted to go to Mcarthy. None of my brothers wanted to go, so I called up Brooke and asked if she wanted to go. She could. We picked her up. We went out to the beach. We talked with Amber Shain through text messaging. It was arranged that she would pick up me and Brooke at my house. We were going to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. On our way home from Mcarthy, we stopped at the beloved gas station for ice cream. So, Brooke and I waited for Amber. She came. We watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Brittany, Natalie, Jason, Little Brian, and Ryan(?). I'm deeply sorry if I missed anyone. We went to Wal*mart. I got a wallet and a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory poster (being the nerd that I am). After that Amber took Brit home. Then me, or at least that's how I think it was. I'm not sure.

Monday July 18: I woke up early, tried to smuggle fireworks, got them taken away, and then got on the van. I'm just kidding. I did have fireworks in my purse, but it was an accident. We got to camp. Got our dorm. So on and so forth.

Rest of the week through getting home Friday: Nothing really happened. Except Jess got embarrassed, I'm not going to tell you how. I dunno. We made friends with the other girls that Jess Broberg was counseling. Mike was a counsler. Pastor Aaron was a head counsler person. We loved the worship band that was there. The lead singer used to be in One Accord. We got their autographs. They thought we were weird. The speaker was incredible, Ron Rhode. You really had to be there.

Friday July 22 when we got home: We got to see Amber's new car. There was a welcoming committee there. Mike and I were the last to leave. Aaron and the Jilb picked us up. I got my bride's maid dress for the wedding. Actually, my mom got it while i was gone at camp. I tried it on. That was pretty much it for that week.

Saturday July 23: I went to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory again. This time it was with Amber, Jess, Brooke, Sydney, and our friend that lives in Grand Rapids, Ian. I spilled my Grape Icee everyone. I still had some left though. After that, we dropped of Ian, and then we dropped off the Williamson's. Then, I'm not sure. That was along time ago for me. I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of details.

Sunday July 24: I packed for my family's vacation. Then I went to church. We stopped by McDonald's on the way home to get some food. We brought it home and ate it. We then waited for our dad to pack. Then we packed the cooler. We loaded up the van and off we went. Our vacation was in Wisconsin Dells. We stayed at the Pleason View. We got our Mt. Olympus tickets free with the room. Well, they were actually wristbands. The first night we didn't go anywhere. We just stayed in our room. We watched Super hero cartoons like X-men and The Tick.

Monday July 25: Around 8 AM, we went to Paul Bunyan's and had breakfast. After we got back,it rained hard for ten minutes. After it was done, we headed for the park. We did everything the first day. We went on almost all the water slides. Mike, Andrew, and our dad went go carting. We also went into the indoor waterpark. After we got back to the room, dad, mom, and I went to Wal*mart. I can't really remember anything. So, I'm guessing we stayed in the room and watched TV.

Tuesday July 26: We had breakfast. Then we went to the waterpark. It seemed like it was closed down. Well, at least the outdoor water slides. So, we just went inside. We hung out there for a while. Everything is kind of a blur. All I know is that later that night we went out to get ice cream downtown. We got to a place called the Candy Kitchen. We all got ice cream. We looked around the store for a little bit. Then we decided to leave. Immediatley when we walked out it started to drizzle. Then it started to rain down a little more. Our van was two blocks away, so we hid under this little roof thing. It really started to come down after we got under that little piece of shelter. We stayed there for a while. Then the owner of the resturant that we were leaning up against tapped on the window. He invited us in. We ended up getting onion rings and fries. And we each got a drink. We also got some salsa and chips. We stayed there and ate the food. Once my dad was done, he ran and got the van. When he came back, he payed for our food and we left. We never felt so happy to go back to that little room. "Hey, you guys look pretty cool. Do you want a tattoo." "Sorry, no we are heading to Wizard Quest." Sorry, when we were walking down the street, we passed by the shop. Some people were standing there and asked us if we wanted a tattoo. We just ignored them. But we later thought that it would be funny if it would've been like what i had in quotations. Try to picture the second line being said like one of the aliens off of Galaxy Quest.

Wednesday July 27: We got up. We packed up. We got our wristbands. The parents went to the family tube slides. Mike, Andrew, and I went to what we like to call the butt slides. It's the slides where you don't use a tube. There was nobody in line. The only people up there were the lifeguards and us. So we just kept on going down. After we went down those a couple of times, we went back to the wave pool. We stayed there the whole time. Just sitting there. My dad and I went on some tube slides. We went down the best one first. Then we went on the one to the left because no one was in line there. We felt bad for making the life guard work. Then we went to the one on the right. After that we just sat there. We sat there until about noon. Then we went back to the van and headed home. We got to Duluth, and we went to the Miller Hill Mall food court. I got an ice cream cone. My mom and Andrew got smoothies. Mike got something from Caribou Coffee. We got home. Cleared some stuff out of the van, and headed over to the Broberg's. I went over to the Pearson's after we were done there. We watched a little of Swan Princess, then we played spin Jones, or something like that. Then I went home and went to sleep.

Thursday July 28: Shattered Assembly had a band practice. We started working on a new song. Jess wrote it. We were figuring out the chords yesterday. Then i came home and we just sat around.

Today: I got up, and thought i should post. And here I am, almost an hour later than I started. And now I'm done. usta!

tootles! :)
