Well my fourth of July weekend has been great. I spent it with a close friend of mine in the mountains (at his summer home). From watching fireworks and taking long walks at night to spending a day at the beach, not to mention bike riding...I'm Exhausted!

We went to a resort to watch the fireworks from the gold course (there were tons of people)and we got there early so we had a great spot to see them from. We ate there and the food wasn't too great but I drew for a bit and read from The Memory Keeper's Daughter so it was pleasant overall. It just got cool enough for me to almost need a sweatshirt as well which was amazing considering the 100+ Fahrenheit where I live. Hence why I love being up here hanging out. The firework show wasn't the best but it was as my friend says...shit-tasktic. It wasn't worth the wait but it was fun to just hang out.

The lake was pretty much amazing. We took a canoe around the lake which was tiring especially going against the wind. we stopped it out in the middle and drifted for a bit as we looked around and read for a bit on the water. We then caught up to his mom and brother in a paddle boat so we took the Canoe to shore and swam out to them. paddling for a bit and getting sun burnt a little bit... anyways. There was a series of blow-up equipment to play on in the water for a small fee. We decided to try it out...One of the structures was an "iceburg" 20 feet above the water that you have to literally climb up; similar to rock climbing but with a slick surface so it was difficult the first time up but from there it was alright. the life vests we were forced to wear made it a lot harder. So jumping off that was fun and strenuous but not nearly as bad as the teeter totters. They were such a pain to get on. We managed it once. So many people laughed at us. Basically the floating rocker is above our heads in the water (we were chest deep in the water)and with one of us on each side we counted to three and both tried to hop onto it and swing our legs over at the same time to it would be balanced...We failed this about 50 times and each of those times we flipped over or fell off so it was good fun. We finally got on it and rocked it so crazily that we flipped again. We defeated the monster so we felt fine leaving at that point.

Oh, my ankle also became mysteriously bloody when I was walking on the beach. the water was cold so I didn't feel it but I wasn't sure where the cut came from, lots of blood for such a small thing.

The moonlit walks were incredible. We went to a little park near their house (usually where I've played soccer in the past) and sat on the swings looking at the nearly full moon. It would have been a romantic moment for a couple but none the less no couples around. Haha. My friend and I tend to go see horror films together so we decided to come up with our own horror story there and it was quite interesting. We left the swings and walked to a marsh (there was a boardwalk) and that area was stunning under the moonlight, seriously. But on our way back we had to go through a field with sprinklers on so of course we ran and I yelped when the cold water hit me but it was fun.

Yeah and now I'm tired though I haven't really finished this yet...oh well. Maybe an update later with a feature and whatnot.



Yes I'm still busy with everything and I don't really regret it. I haven't really posted anything lately and I don't expect that to really change. Just updating.
