so winterfest was this weekend. it was super fun.
THURSDAY:
i watched 24 until it was time to leave. i wanted to get a good seat on the bus so we left really early (and i was too excited to sit around the house)
so i got there at 1030. noone was there and neither was the bus so my mom drove me to the gas station to get an umbrella bcuz i forgot mine but they didnt have any. by the time we came back the bus pulled into the parking lot and candace and some other people got there. so i reserved a seat near the back and came back outside bcuz the bus was really hot. more and more people came and i took a few pictures. i was kinda nervous about who i was going to sit with but then i saw mandy and told her to sit w/ me. i wanted the aisle seat and josh sat across form me and they were talking over me so i decided to switch with mandy and went to sleep. alex and ruben were behind me, caleb and danny behind them, cody and jessup across from them, dustin and austin infront of me and i dont remember who was across from them, prolly brittany s.
FRIDAY:
so i woke up at 1 and seinfeld was still on but alot of people were sleeping so i tried to go back to sleep. i woke up around 2 and the movie was off but the people behind me were talking so i kinda listened to what they were saying but i couldnt really hear. then i got uncomfy and most of the bus was asleep so i decided to lay on the floor in the aisle. there was a web of legs above me so i was pretty much trapped. it was ok at first but then i got hot and it started to smell really bad. but there was nothing i could do about it. then i got really hot so i was just gonna get back in my seat but mandy was taking up the whole bench and she was asleep and i didnt wanna wake her up so decided to stand up and when i did the air was blowing straight on my head. so i talked to alex and ruben for a while, just standing there with the air in my face. sometimes i would sit in the aisle next to ruben but then id get hot and stand up again. then alex and ruben got hot so we switched places cuz i was getting tired of standing. then around 430 or 5 we stopped to go to the bathroom and pretty much everyone woke up but when we got back on the bus travis said we had to be quiet for 2 mpre hours so people could sleep, i didnt think id be able to sleep anymore but i did. then we stopped at a gas station w/ mcdonalds and subway. i ate at subway bcuz the line for mcdonalds was 30 people long. i sat with sailyn tammy jessica and syd and caleb was there for a bit too. then we loaded back into the bus and caleb sat where ruben was sitting and me him and alex talked the rest of the way. and took pictures and made drawings. we got to the hotel at like..12? i dont really remember. when we got there travis told us our rooms and we unloaded all of our stuff. then we all walked to wendys. after that everyone climed the mountain but i stayed back and changed and got ready. i played cards w/ cory and caleb but it was too cold outside and we could go in a room bcuz there were no chaperones so i went to brittanys room w/ all the girls that were watching tv. it was really hot in there but i got used to it. then everyone came back and got cleaned up and we went to the first session. there was a guy who did really cool shadow puppets and then some (dumb) singing and the lesson. then we went to dinner at mcdonalds and back to the rooms to have a devo. it went really good then some of us went to the doughnut friar and hung out till curfiew. then back in my room ashley s sailyn tammy and i talked while jessica tried to sleep. it was fun though.
SATURDAY:
we had to wake up early bcuz the session started at 830. after i got ready i walked outside and it started to snow!!!!! AHH i was SOOOO EXCITED!!! so we all ran around in the snow and took pictures and stuff then we went to the session. ther were these two guys (lost and found) and they were really weird. they were kinda funny but then it just got old. then the lesson which was prety boring in my opinion. it was interesting at first to see all the artifacts but then they would talk about each one for like 20 minutes. and most of the stuff wasnt really new to me. the acting in the skits wasnt that good either but w/e. then we went to lunch at pizza hut. after that we went back to the hotel and the snow was really comming down. when we got to the parking lot all the cars were covered with snow so we had a snowball fight kinda. then we had a real organised snowball fight. me ashley and rachel made the snowballs and then they guys would throw them. it was SO fun! and i brought my heavy coat so i wasnt cold at all. then we played lazer tag (the girls lost bigtime of corse) and blacklight putt putt golf. danny caleb and elizabeth were on my team. i dont remember who won, it was prolly danny. then we went back and cleaned up and i had to change my socks and shoes because they were soaking wet. i barrowed ashleys shoes and was going to put mine in the dryer but it was closed till the next day. and i tried to blowdry them but the blowdryer broke. then we all went to eat at BK but the line was out the door so some of us went to micky d's. then we went to the session and the shadow puppet guy did "stand-up" but he wasnt really funny. he just went on and on and it was SOOO boring. i almost fell asleep. then we had the lesson which was ok then we went to the hotel and had a devo. it was really long bcuz we took prayer requests forever! but then we broke into prayer groups and prayed for the specific lists. mine was sydney dustin and matt. then we went to the dougnut place again and hung out for a while. then we went back and packed our stuff. jessica was getting really mad at us for talking too loud so i brought the matress from my cot and put it in the bathtub and me and sailyn sat in that and tammy and ashley sat on the toilet and on the side of the bathtub. we talked for a long time then around 230 we went to bed and i was really comfy so i sayed in the bathtub. then we had to get up really early bcuz church was at 7.
SUNDAY:
we sat in the very back. after church we piled onto the bus. then we watched the exercism of emily rose but i coudnt hear it so i gave up. ruben went to the front so he could hear it better and i sat with alex. then we watched spiderman 2 and alex didnt feel good and fell asleep on me kinda. i knew he was asleep near me but i didnt care too much bcuz he didnt feel good but brittany jessup ashley and becky were talking about it and i could hear them but i didnt care. then the movie ended and i looked and alex was alot closer then i thought, so i got uncomfy, but then he woke up. we stopped at taco bell for lunch, but it felt like dinner. i was in the very back of the line and it took a while to get through. when i was eating tiff had an extra taco and caleb wanted it so jessup threw it at him and it landed on the table and exploded all over macys lap. then jessup was cleaning it up and she pushed his face into it. i didnt get a picture though.
we got to the hotel in valdosta at dinner time and we went to applbees. i sat w/ katie j matt and cory. it was SO funny. my food wasnt good though. and i was on my way to the bathroom when the waitress gave me my check and it was 20 dollars!! and i was like WHAT!?! how did i spend this much?? and i walked into the bathroom and looked up and there was this thing there, i didnt know what it was at first but then i realized it was a urinal and i was confused. i said why is there a urinal in the girls bathroo--(eyes widen) o my gosh!!! and i ran out and i looked on the door and sure ehough, it was the guys bathroom. i was so embarrassed!! but luckily there wasnt anyone in there. that wouldhave been so bad!
after dinner we went back to the hotel and i got in my bathing suit and went to the pool but i just sat on the side bcuz i didnt really feel like swimming. then i went with megan to KFC and wen talked about the youth group and church and stuff. when we came back i hung out in my room with tiff elizabeth brittany s becky candace and sarah and megan fo a bit. then we all went to the starbucks then we went back and sang in the breakfast room. then i went back in my room. i shared a bed w/ sarah. and elizabeth and brittany s shared a bed. and we talked and stuff then we went to bed.
MONDAY:
we woke up and got ready and put our stuff in the bus and travis told us that we were leaveing 15 minutes later than we did so i had to eat a tol on the bus for breakfast. alez ruben dustin and pac were late so they had to ride in the bathroom together to wild adventures. WA was really fun. me elizabeth brittany becky jessup and sarah pretty much hung out the whole time. mandy josh megan jackie erik and rachel joined us some too. my fav. ride was the screaming swing, i rode that like 20 times. it was so fun! around lunch time me and sydney rode some stuff by ourselves bcuz she had been riding hangman w/ tiff the whole time and didnt get to do anything yet. then we ate lunch early bcuz we didnt wannna have to wait in line w/ everyone else. then everyone went ice skating but me and syd went on the ice slide. there was this little kid in line behind us who was punching everyone and he paretns werent with him. so we let him skip us because he was punching the kids behind him.
one time when we were on the screaming swing mandy and josh spitt out their gum and josh's hit danny in the forehead!! it was SO FUNNY!. and the boomerang wasnt broken for the first time this year so we were all excited to ride it bcuz it goes backwards and we were running to get in line and we got all the way up ther and the guy was like "hey guess what! you guys get to go all the way to the entrance and walk back!" and he was SO mean!! and there was this girl on the ride who was terrified and when the ride is over she was panting so hard but then it lurched forward and she thought it was going again and started screaming "AHHH NO NOT AGAIN AHHHH!!!!" but it was only moving up a little bitt. then we played bumper car tag and that was fun. then it was 345 and travis wasnt at the gate so we left him and i wanted mr wenner to make him and everyone else that was late ride in the bathroom bcuz thats what he wouldhave done if we were late but he twisted all the rules around so he didnt have to. i sat in the very back w/ becky and sarah for the ride home and listened o music the whole time. i got really hot though. then we got to church and my paretns picked me up and took me to subway and i went home and watched the last episode of 24 season 5. the end.
