well to start, saturday morning i woke up at jillian's. we went to the post office so that i could mail a painting, then best buy so that i could get the Team Sleep cd, then giant eagle for deodorent, hair spray, fruit punch, and then to her family reunion. i like family reunions. we ate, played old video games, walked in the woods, took pictures. bethany was like ten hours late getting there. i thought it was funny.
after the family reunion we went back to jillian's and laid around then out of no where we went jogging. i loved it. it felt really good. as soon as we got home from jogging nate called about going to broadview heights developmental center (big, abandoned, hospital). this is about where things got crazy. me, jillian, bethany, sam, nate, garrett, jeremy, all went there. way too many people to explore abandoned buildings. the entire time im thinking "this is stupid". we parked just across the parking lot from the police station, then ran across a well lit field and jumped a fence. we hid in the shadows while gar, nate, and sam climbed onto the first floor roof and then up to the second, and into an open window. the internet says this place is just about impossible to explore, at this point i was in agreement. i figured it was just a matter of time before we got busted. well shortly after they got into the building and are walking around taking pictures that light up the entire floor, jillian sees someone walking through the field towards us. everyone panics and tries to hide. this guy comes walking right up to where we were hiding, all while the other three are trying to break out of the building to let us in. im thinking we're screwed. then it turns out to just be jim. i could have killed him. bethany and jillian went back to the car and my intentions were to follow them. but just then, i notice that nate is out. he got through the window and before i knew it i was diving head first into the open window. i got in and walked around for just a little bit but the asbestos and fear of getting arrested got me back out pretty quickly. i plan on going back and exploring that building as much as possible sometime soon. that was the most exciting night and i had so much fun. after we left, we re-grouped at BP and had more fun.
the next day was church. it was so hot. then mall food. then another family reunion. there was so much Jesus at the family reunion. He was everywhere, so was mary. so many statues and paintings. to the point it was creepy. i loved it. we stayed for just a little bit and had to leave for my grandparent's house for my sister's graduation party. that wasnt bad. the weird lady from work was there. after the party we went back to jillian's and fell asleep. that was my weekend and it was awesome. so much adventuring and eating. i had a lot of fun this weekend.
sorry about the grainyness of the pictures but i couldnt us a flash and had to do my best to lighten them with photoshop.
after getting into the impossible, broadview heights hospital, we jumped.
