Yesterday was such a nice day. Went to the river with friends and family...had a great time. But it started out with a little pain. Shawn and i had just gotten to the river. No one else from our group was there yet. I had stashed my gum behind my ear for later ( as normal)...and forgot about it. I was messing with my hair and all of a sudden my hair stuck together. The gum had become entangled in my hair. After about 20 minutes of pulling and straining I got most of it out. I now have a bald spot on the side of my head. Lucky for me, you can't see it unless you move some hair that comes from higher up. =( Needless to say, i won't be keeping my gum back there until i get a hair cut. =)

Yes, this is a very strange post. Not many people post about sunburns. But since this is the first time i've been really burnt, i thought i would. =) It didn't hurt at all. But now it looks really funny. Like I have a rare skin disease. I think my sun burn got a sun tan. =) That area better tan again. Or i'll look like i had a lot powdered sugar sprinkled on my back.
I can't pick at it, so that right there bothers me. When some thing is on me...i have to get it off.
Well, there you go. You know about me first sun burn(Pirate talk). Thanks for reading. =)

The Lake Wenatchee Excursion
(: I'm writting this as i think, so i'm kinda jumping around :)
Camping at Lake Wenatchee was a blast. The first day the mozzies were so bad i was about to scratch my sun tan off. But the days to follow were much nicer. On the second day in the afternoon wind picked up on the lake. It was a consist 30 mph all day and night. But did that stop us hearty Harborites from swimming? NEVER!
We stayed from Monday afternoon till Friday morning. The group consisted of Backholms, Micheners, and Napiers. I must say, that group was so much fun. Just the right mix of sarcasm and true humor. =) Every night all of the kids (from 11 - 30) went down to the lake and sat on logs while we watched the stars. I think that was my favorite part of the day. The Micheners brought home-made ice cream, which we mixed on the beach. It was out of the ballpark. On Thursday morning it was really cold and windy (meaning 50ish). But after we gave up in volleyball in that wind, i wanted to go swimming. It was about 10am. That was almost the coldest swim I've ever had. Brr! No one else would come in, but finally Shawn came in. Then i had to almost drag Piper into the water. It took about 10min of convincing her. But she did it! =) Then Hutt came into the water and said it wasn't cold at all. Which is 100% a lie! The picture of the peanut can. A chipmunk actually chewed through that. I think some of those chipmunks were on steroids. :P

Almost every day we took out the rafts and floated out to this little island. We usually never set foot on the island, the fun part was the ride. Pushing people off rafts is just a kick. Except when you grab (SOMEONE) and they fling you in instead...multiple times. ;P Shawn dropped by Wednesday for the night and was planning to go home Thursday late afternoon, but he was so nice and made it possible for Hutt, Racer, and Piper to stay one more night. =) The Napiers were leaving Thursday, and they did, they just left three kids thanks to Shawn and my Dad. On Friday morning, Shawn woke us up and we were on the road by 0545 hrs. He had to be at work by 0011 hrs or so. Most of the way home was filled with music, and also paintball conversation; which is always fun.
"Whats with the picture of Racer and Wyatt covered in mud?" you are probably asking. We just decided to cover our selves in mud. Simple, no?
Jase got punched in the nose by his brother Brian on accident. Hence the bloody hand and face
And I'm not really sure what the Otis Man is doing over the fire.
All together it was an awesome trip. And is going to need a sequel. =) HA!

Today Shawn and I were so lucky. We got to go out to the Napier's and Paintball. We started around 4:30 and it was about 86 degrees out. Now, when us beginners paintball we wear a lot of armor. But when it's that hot....it's really bad. Piper and I actually won once against Shawn and Hutt. But then Piper went all crazy on me for something i did, and she went onto Shawn's team. But Hutt saved the day, and got them both out. Go HUTT! About half way through...my gun broke. So i had to use the awesome 98 custom the Napier's let me use. It didn't have a hopper so i had to single load. :P That was just ducky. Then i got fed up with the heat, and went to tee shirt. lol It was a riot. Got some nice marks. Hutton was so padded i don't think he got any paint on him! Piper took a hard one to the neck, and Shawn, didn't have sleeves so his arms were a little beat up! :P The clip is after the day of grueling warfare.... ;)

Moonwalk Attempt, and Fail.
Okay, i know. I never usually post twice on the same day. But something (even i thought it was funny) happened today. Low and I were doing the dishes and i had turned on Michael Jackson's Billy Jean to rock out too. Well, i also set up my camera to see if i could get Low doing some out-landish moves. I clipped the video because it was long with not much happening. In the end, the only person who pulled an out-landish move...was me. I was attempting the moonwalk when i ran into a box of apricots. Yeah, I bet Michael never had to deal with these kinds of set backs. =(

Does anyone every get those late night kicks where you just want to create? I do. And last night was one of those times. At about 8:45 i thought it would be fun to draw a poster. I had no idea what to draw, but i got a couple movies and went up to my room to start thinking. After a couple of minutes i thought about Coca Cola! And i decided to draw a Coke Poster. I googled a picture of a coke can (So i could see it really big) and started. I was up until 1:37am working on it. But i wasn't even tired. I really love these late night kicks. Well, the text is kinda sloppy, so don't pay any attention to that. But i like how the can turned out. =)

The House Of Pain
What started out as a three day paint job turned into three weeks. But today at about 7:25, Shawn and I did the impossible. WE FINISHED IT! The House Of Pain fell! Oh it felt so good. As we were cleaning up, Shawn thought he'd be funny and paint my face. Then I thought it would be funny, to do the same. It was harder for him to get it off, because of his "stubble". =) Any way, i'm just so glad to be done with it all. And Piper, I did have fun painting today. =P

Chocolate Cherries
I tried making chocolate cherries today. It wasn't hard as you all already guessed. You just dip them in chocolate, then freeze, then eat. :-) They are really tasty. I recommend freezing the cherries before you dip them.

*Side notes: There is a video of Low doing her European speed walk. Just to let you all know. =) And the picture of me in the white jacket...well, i was wearing my sister's jacket. IT'S NOT MINE! And yes, I look gay. ;)
This 4th of July was the first time in about 4 years or so we haven't gone to the Wright's party. Instead we went to Prosser to visit our friends the Micheners. They have an orchard there. They grow apples, cherries, blueberries, and some other stuff. We left Thursday at about 9pm. Only for my dad to forget something he had to do at work. So we turned around and headed back to Aberdeen. Thus making us decide not to leave till Friday morning.We left that next morning at 5:30ish. I'm not going to bore you with the gruesome details so i'll just give highlights.
We we arrived at the Michener's and it was about 95 degrees out. We spent the day just hanging out. They have this awesome zip line. Pretty sweet. The 4th really didn't feel like the 4th. I didn't light one firework. =( But oh well. We stopped at Chukar Cherries on Sunday. They are amazing. Top notch. Definitely recommend them. I picked cherries on their orchard...and it was really hot out. :( I NEARLY DIED! On the way home we ran out of gas. :P Luckily we were still in town so our Grandpa came to the rescue. While we waited for him to come, we ate Chukar Cherries! The short version of our trip. Short and some what sweet.
