Camping
Ok, I've been back for a while now but haven't got around to updating this so this is what happened on my camping trip...Mom, dad, Crystal (oldest sister 19), Brandi(second oldest sister 16), me (no duh), and Lily (Crystal's baby 1) came.Driving there was boring i read most the way.When we got to the campsite i had to take care of Lily while everyone was setting up the tents and stuff.Once they finished setting up we went down to the beach.We camped right by Lake Michigan.Crystal and Brandi only went in as far as Lily.Brandi said she didn't want to swim because the water might have been breathed in and spit back out by someone drownding and it had been splashing on the boats and the Mackanaw Bridge.I don't care though.I swam out up to my neck (maybe not that smart ir a big wave came in but i'm still here aren't i).I never swam in water like Lake michigan.It's so clear compared to the lakes where i live.After a while i had to get out though.That day at sunset (it's beautiful from where we were) i walked down the beach to a place where i could see the Mackanaw Bridge.It was depressing walking there because there were so many couples on the beach (i suck at getting boyfriends >_<).Lily had a toasted marshmellow and it was so cute, she got it all over he face!The next day i woke up at 6am because i had to share a tent with Crystal, Brandi, and Lily and Crystal and Brandi went somewhere (bathroom i think) and Lily started crying so i had to put her back to sleep (she likes it went i rock side to side and sing her something like Fly me to the moon...i don't know many slow songs =P), and once i wake up i can't go back to sleep.But we talked until about 7am then Crystal, and Brandi went back to sleep (Lily went to sleep a long time ago) so i went on a walk (what can i say i like walks) for about an hour and when i got back no one was awake (still geez..) i just went down to the beach.When everyone else finaly did wake up and get moving we went to Mackanaw Crossings (just a tourist trap with a lot of stores).Crystal got a tatto on the back of her right sholder of a tiger face in a lily (she got it because she calls Lily tiger lily because Lily growels and her name is Lily...no duh) it was her own idea.The guy who did it liked it so much he had her go out and show the people working there then he took a picture of it.Oh yeah she got it done at Be You.While she was getting that i got a sword and a throwing star.The sword is 30 inches long and it's called a skull swod, there are stars and moons on the sheath.The throwing star has five kanji on it.I know one of then mean ninja, and Marissa was over and we realized one of the kanji was on her shirt (unfortunatly we still don't know what it means), one is a part of the kanji i was just talking about with the other ones though i'm compleatly clueless.Anyway it has six points and is rainbow colored, it was the last one left.Brandi got herself a Stewie (from Family Guy) shirt, and got her boyfriend a shirt with his favorite band name on it.When we got home (i called the campsite home) we bulit a fire and talked for a while then went to bed.Early the morning dad got mre than enough wood for that night (this was our last entire day there).Everyone thought it was going to rain so yet again i had to watch the baby while they did everything (not like i minded) she tried running into someone elses campsite so i picked her up and sat on the picnic table.Eventually she fell asleep and for a baby she can get really heavy...This day we went to a fair.Luckily it only rained when we were driving there.Crystal, Brandi, and me (that sound stupid) got braclets so we could ride all the rides we wanted.Crystal and I (I know that's correct grammer but that dosen't make it sound any better) went on a miniature version of the Deamon Drop first.Brandi was chicken so she saved us a spot in line for a handglider ride.Crystal and I talked on the way up.Isaw acemetary across from us and Crystal said "Well it's a short trip if we die.".We were looking out over a lake too.I aske her "What city is this in anyway?" and she answered "I think it's in Petosky." and litteraly right after she said Petosky we dropped.I loved it it was so fast that when we went down i felt like my feet would slam onto the ground.We rode it again later and Brandi rode too this time wedidn't get as good of seats and none of us talked.Brandi was freaking out and was singing shakily with the music (it was hit me with your best shot).I decieded to scream on the way down (it seemed like fun...don't ask me why) and Brandi screamed too, after that she was up for any ride.next we rode the handglider ride.I had never rode a ride laying on my stmach so i was sort of worryed but i liked it.The guy running the ride grabbed Crystal's butt.We rode that two more times and on the last time i was so used to it i almost fell asleep.After that we rode the Gravatron.Now that is one of my favorite rides.Together we only rode it one more time but alone i rode it four more times (so 6 times in all for me.I only rode it that many times because Brandi and Crystal wated to ride the Zipper (i hate that ride) twice and i colud ride the Gravatron twice for every time the Zipper went once.After the second time i could sit up through the entire ride. that we rode the Tilt-a-Whirl.All of us are great at makeing rides spin very fast so we were going faster than anyone else, it was cool.After that we rode the Searay (that viking ship thing) but didn't get a very good seat.We rode it again thogh and got the very back seat.Needless to say when we left i felt sick from all the spining.That night i got all my stuff toghter so i could go swimming the next morning while everyone else was packing.I did go swimming the next day..at 10am.I was the only person in the water for a while.Which makes sense since my legs went numb, after a while it was better...or maybe i just got used to it.Well once i we loadedinto the car.What was funny was that we drove down a little ways then looked back at our sie and everyone had made a mad rush for our left over wood, it was funny.Nothing happened on the way home so that's what happened on my camping trip.
