surviving the wilderness

So I went to June lake with the Holmes, Candice, and Phil. I will explain my adventure from the start.
Saturday.. not a good day. I had just a bad day at work and it wasn't good. But when I got home I had to pack. ( This is when the day got better) and then.. it was the first official night of the olympics. Now, I love the Olympics for many reasons, 1. people from almost every country in the world come together 2. I love to read the foreign peoples names.. it's loads of fun. 3. I like to watch people that r much more talented than me.. and finally 4. HOT MEN! There are always hot men. and especially the summer olympics because... MICHAEL PHELPS! So candice came and got me and we went to the Holmes' home. There I made Shanna change the channel on the tv so we could watch michael win his first gold medal of the year. Then we slept for a little while then started the drive. We had all made mix cds to listen to. And they were all pretty good. So then we got there. We saw mountains and stuff. Then we went to the lake. I have never been to a lake b 4 so it was pretty cool cuz there wasn't any seaweed or waves. It was freezing and took my about half and hour to get in. When I did I realized that there was lake olympics going on. Apparently america won. Oh and then after that we watched the discovery channel and learned how to survive if we are lost at sea or in the snow wilderness. Then wayyyy later on some of us watched the olympics while candice and stacee went to bed. It was very exciting and Michael got really excited and so did we. So much so that I couldn't stop laughing. It was midnight and susanna and I tried to go to bed quietly but we ended up waking candice and stacee up because we couldn't stop laughing for some reason.
So the next day we went sight seeing and we walked in the wilderness to an ugly lake. I was in sandals and my feet got dirty. There was also horse poo. But then we went to convict lake and I almost died while being adventurous and trying to clean off my feet. We also stopped and had photo opportunities. and then we went home. So it was cool.
