Fun in July

I took some really good pictures on the fourth of July. However, they are on my mom's camera and I have no idea where it is. So I will instead tell you how excited I am to go to EFY this year, a summer camp designed "Especially For Youth." I am going to the San Antonio session and am leaving next week. So I am spending today and tomorrow packing up. It is going to be a blast!!!! So how is your summer? Please commet. I am not going on any big vacations; the farthest away from home I'm getting is EFY. I will put up pictures when I return. See you all next week!

A Day on the Lake

Summer went out with a bang. One of my friend's sister was supposed to go to this lake with all of her firends. When they bailed out on her, she asked my friend to invite a couple of people to go out with them. I was chosen. We spent the day on a lake, jetskiing, wakeboarding, and, of course, tubing. It was my first time jetskiing, so I had a great time. I've wakeboarded before and I got some air coming out of the wake (not a first for the superlight me). I questioned tubing, though. My cousins and I are some serious tubers. A couple years ago, I almost broke my nose twice coming down after a 6 foot jump. This ride wasn't that deadly. I had a great time holding on for dear life with two other people on a 5 foot tube.

So all this talk about tubing and some of you are wondering, "What the heck is tubing?" Well, it's a "sport" that uses a tube (looks like a big donut with the hole filled in) that one or two people can lay across on. The tube is pulled by a boat (or jetski) and the fun is all the twists and turns that the driver lays on the tube.

Anyway, a great end to summer. Hope the school year is just as fun. Have you had any tubing experiences?

VACATION!!!!!!

I just got back from my vacation in Destin, Florida. It's this tiny little town right on the beach. I had such a great time. During my weeklong visit, I found some way cool shells. Some were over four inches long. I also caught a ton of crabs (with my bare hands =). My first day there, the ocean was black with fish. If you stood in the middle, there was a circle of green surrounded by black around you. It was pretty cool. I caught a ton of waves with my boogie board and was beat up by the 5-foot-tall waves. Overall, a happy vacation =)!

On another note, this is my first blog. I'm excited; yeah. Enjoy your last week of summer vacation, if you're not already in school. Be happy!
