My Vacation

A morning's catch
Me tubing! (My hair is all wind blown, it was really windy that day)
Well, I'm back. I've been back for quite a few days, but I never got around to posting this. Sorry the pictures are kinda weird, I couldn't get them to cooperate. Anyways, we went to Northern Wisconsin to this little town called St. Germain. We went to a lake and fished, tubed, and relaxed. We went with my Uncle Rob and Aunt Lily and there family. Heidi and Elise didn't go, so it got a little boring. For one, I'm a social bug, Northern Wisconsin is not. I became a big fisherman (or lady)! I put my own worms on and took off my own fish! *takes a bow* First time I've ever done any of that. But the bad thing was, I only caught one actual fish. I caught way more than that but none of them weren't big enough! :(

Me and my fish!!
If I wasn't fishing, I was watching movies. I got to watch the Loves Come Softly series again! Note: you do not want to watch that with the guys...They totally ruin a love story!! Anyways, I think the guys watched enough Andy Griffith. We had 5 CD's and they watched them all! :P Every night at supper, they would quote Andy Griffith. Anyways...tubing was a lot of fun. It always looks like a blast when they whip ya off of the tube...So I decided I wanted too. Well, I never did...:( I guess you have to weigh a lot for that. We only got to go one day because the other days it was too cold. One night, the guys(Micah, Josh, & Adam) let me go fishing with them. They always act like they're the best fisherman etc. etc. Well, It turned out, I was better than they were! :) The night of the fish fry, we had a campfire and roasted smores and the guys played there guitars. Luke and I went on the dock and fished until 10:30. That was really fun, but I got a million mosquito bites! We always get a lot of those in Wisconsin...Last year, Hyde got 32! Another thing that they have a lot there, is ticks! :P I got one stuck on my toe, and it would not come off! Thankfully, we didn't have to use a match or anything. I found a lot of them, but only one was stuck to me. phew! If you don't know me, I hate bugs...so that really grossed me out. The last night we're there, we always go out to eat. We went to a really fancy restaurant. I don't think I've ever been to that fancy of a restaurant ever. It was a humongous log cabin and had tons of mounted animals. On the way home, I rode with the guys, and they put the seats down, got out there guitars and played almost the whole way home. I serioulsy had a headache. Well, that's all for now!

Leavin'

Just to let ya'll know, I'll be leavin' for vacation tomorrow. We're going to Wisconsin for a week of fun. I'll write about it when we get back!

Kansas

This weekend I went to Kansas with the Bible Class. I didn't actually go WITH the bible class...I stayed at Jill and Larry's. But, I could've cause I'm considered a Freshman now. I went with them on Sunday, but that's all. Katy, Michelle, Kendra and I all had a blast on the bus. The bus was so empty that we each got our own bench to ourselves. There was even extra seats left. I think the bus trip was more fun than actually being in Kansas. Anyways...Michelle, Heidi, and I stayed at Jill and Larry's. Brenna is so cute. She is soo obsessed about pink. We were reading a book, and if anything in the picture was pink she had to point it out. She's also into the word awesome. She just started it when we got there. Kyle got all these pens, and he pours them out and she goes, AWESOME!!! Then we went over to the neighbors and they have a pool, and she looks at it, and says AWESOME!!! She said it to every thing. It was hilarious. And as always, Jill and Larry made fun of me. They always make fun or comment on how little I eat (which has changed...)(not a good thing) or how "healthy" I am. This time, they made fun of how I take oxi-link. Seriously, I could not live without that stuff. It's my life saver. Kendra and Michelle refer it to "the toilet bowl cleaner." Anyways...I had fun, and on the way back we were soo slap happy and laughed at every thing. We sang, talked (while having 4 people on a bench) and laughed. Great Times.

ACYF Day

Sunday was ACYF day and I had a blast! But, If you ask Adam, he'll answer by saying, "It was soo boring." Guys just don't have as much fun as girls. True Story. But, I'm a lot more outgoing than Adam too. I met a million new friends and Adam just hung out with the Washington people. Most of the people I met were from Princeville or Peoria. I met the most funniest person. She could live out of her purse. Seriously. She got chocolate on her shirt and takes out this "Tide 2 Go" stick. She says she's a messy eater so she keeps it in her purse. HAHA!! When we went to set up for V.B.S. today, Kathy said, "That's what Michelle needs." lol! Anyways...The only part I didn't like about Sunday was the food. ick. The pizza sauce on the pizza was like jelly. :P
Well, this week is V.B.S, and it's my last year in the "little kid" one. *sniff sniff* See ya'll later!

Cute Pheasants

Here's a picture of the really cute baby pheasants.
