kay so apparently i forgot some updates that are totally crucial! one is we went on a family reunion with the latham side of my family, and we went to Seattle, Whistler, and Vancouver (where the next olympics are being held!) and we went BUNGEE JUMPING!!! it was a 160 feet drop off a bridge over a river with rapids and the greenest, tallest trees you can imagine. it was extremely scary at first, but now i am completely immune to roller coasters, heights, ziplines, anything. the only thing that can top that is skydiving (which i will do one day:]) and i want to go hot air ballooning. In Whistler we also went ziplining and went on a gandala ride, etc. it was very fun. I have a video of me jumping off the bridge on facebook. if you don't have a facebook (my profile is private) and want to see it, email me at xxmechamx2013@aol.com and i will send you a link.
i also went to cross country camp (look at my facebook photo album under XC CAMP TIMBERS for pics) it was a full 8 days (probably the longest 8 days of my life) with running super hard runs twice a day but it was filled with fun stuff like biathalons, put putting, waterslides, ziplines, archery, tube slides, horseback riding, kayaking, canoeing, high ropes course, rock-climbing, and so much more. It was in the middle of nowhere, so i got no cell service :/ sad.
i also went to girls camp for young women. it was 4 days in the campsite we went to before, so i was familiar with it. it was pretty fun, except for the hike which we had to leave for at 5 in the morning. i thought it was hard at the time because we had to hike 5 miles. little did i know that less than a week after, i would be running more than that distance:/ again, look on my profile on facebook under girls camp for pictures. (oh and bungee jumping pictures are on there too)
The only other things i have been doing this summer really is cross country practice (they seriously take forever) and recovering from the practices! haha. i have become so close with all the girls since there is only 11 on the team that they are almost sisters. i might put a picture of all of us on here.
Also, some high school stories! 400 500 intersection at FHS is absolutely crazy. It has 3 monitors constantly, and it is even worse than the mosh pits at the Warped Tour. Put 100 crazy high school students in one intersection all rushing to classes, and its not a pretty sight! It takes almost the entire passing time to go through that. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. hehe! i should take a picture of it one day....remind me!
Totally not done with my update. If you wanna no more, check my facebook or email me. Keep me posted! love you all.
