Summer Happenings

Well I don't know about you, but I had an Awesome Summer! And now it's over. Back to school. but just to reflect back.........

PROM
Ok so prom was in May. But I consider it apart of summer. so there.
Prom was a b l a s t. I went with Tabby, Ellie, and Emily, and well we've all got some mad dancing skills :p. It was a lot of fun to get all dressed up and primped (I'm not sure if that's the right wordd) up. We all went over to Emily's house before Prom and got all ready together and ate dinner...then drove to prom where we partied. :)








CAMP

Camp was camp...it's normal awesome self :)....I CIT'd for only two weeks this summer. And I was a camper for high school week. So 3 weeks we're spent at New Life Camp and it was good. I have so many good friends at camp..and always love renewing our friendships every summer. And this year one of my bestest friends Erica got to come be a camper with me! I am so happy she got to come and experiance camp :) The other CIT's and staff are just amazing too...not to mention some of the campers. Hence the word SUM. I had my rough days at camp with campers, but it no one died. So it's all good ;)



Hannah, Erica and Me! yay :)


Me and another bestyy Emilyyy :)


All the Girl CIT's for Early Week. This was an Amazing group :)


CAMPING
My family, minus Eric and Alex, plus one of sarah's friends Amy, went camping for a week in the VA mountains. It was a great just relaing weekend. We camp in Natural Bridge, VA... the actuall Natural Bridge was actually just a tourist trap, so the day we were gonna spend there, we spent at Monticello (Thomas Jeffersons house). It was gorgeous! And cool to learn the history and stories that happend there. The week all together consisted of hanging out at the camp ground pool, playing whiffle ball, yahtzee, laying in hammocks reading, adventurous Wal Mart trips, and just relaxing :)

BEACH
We went to Beaufort, NC for a long weekend to celebrate my 16th Birthday thanks to some wonderful friends of ours! And all my closest bestest friends came with us! It was a Fabulous weekend :) The first night consisted of yummy food(compliments of my mommy :), lip synching and dance parties into all hours of the night. you can see the slightly embarrasing yet hilarious video from that night on my moms blog. The rest of the weekend consisted of going to the beach, watching movies, sitting out on the dock behind the beach house, we all went and got henna tattoos, pictures, laughter, food, of and ellie through my luggage in a boat.

Kidnapped to the Biltmore
I was kidnapped. so was my mom. so was Erica and her mom. so was Paige and her mom. We were all kidnapped by the same crazy woman Ellie and her mom. haha So Ellie kidnapped us all for a weekend. They were kind enough to drop off packing lists the night before....with just a few items. no info. just to be ready in the morning. So I had just finished packing my little (well maybe not so little) suit case when all of a sudden crazy woman Ellie is banging on my back door lookin like a ninja wanna be yelling for me and mom to get in the car.Of course my first thought was "umm I don't think so, I'm no going any where with you crazy person" haha but after a couple min of getting over the shock of kung fu ellie banging on the door I complied and got in the car with the other victoms haha. They took us on the 4 hour drive to Ashville, NC (dread lock capital of the world haha) and we spent the weekend at the Biltmore Estate! It was sooooooo so so so so much fun! once we got there we went out to eat at this SUPER DUPER YUMMY Thai resturant (who's owner is a friend of the mestases) and then we spent all day Saturady and Sunday morning at the Biltmore...and then drove back home Sunday night. The whole weekend was a BLAST. and remind me to tell the squeege story sometime :)

There was this Gorgeousss sunflower field at the Biltmore...
