jerk!

ive finally decided to learn the dance move called "the jerk" haha its fun

beach!

everyone left at home went to seaside beach! the family doesnt have a car right now leaving my car -the "go-to-car". we drove it the beach but were very squished as the back seat is for 3 people and we had 4. we got the beach and walked arougn adn ate at pancake pigs! then we did some shopping and went to the actual beach. it was a perfect day, just sunny enough...the water wasnt that cold either! then we went and ate elephant ears. afterwards we went to our hotel and played alot of games such as royalty, bluff, etc. then watched minority report..(very good movie.) the next day we had a yummy pancake breakfast on our pattio and found a article in the magizine called...dont read this article....and so that was it we didnt read it. :) next we did a special family prayer. next we went and had a old fashion photo taken of us... pretty cool. then we rented a bike car and went and got ice cream. it was scary as lucy would drive, then it was scarier when luke drove because with him we almost ran into a pole and a car. lol. then we went and got taffy and we drove home! the end. (the sand castle you see...well we didnt make it but wanted to pretend we did lol we're cool)

boating!

I LOVE BOATING!! this year ive gone out a good number of times. it took along time for it to heat up so we've been the only boat on the lake for a while. i've tubed, skiied, solgmned, and tryed out wake boarding for the first time. i really want to learn to get better at one ski and to ski on stilts. when i boat i just love it...espeacially water skiing!

rafting!

Luke, Andy and I went rafting with the Hammer family last friday! we had a blast! it was such a different experience because we only had one boat. and it was a very cold day, so we stayed in boat as much as possible, (except when luke did a swan dive in the water just after we hit box car...lol very funny). we hit all the main rapids really good!
