Okay..

Okay now I am in a better mood and I think I am ready to talk about my canoe trip. So as soon as I got on the freakin bus I changed my mind about going. The bus took us 7 miles up the river and we are supposed to canoe back down. WELL I was riding with my cousin Katie and she was all excited and ready to go. Anyway we are the first ones pushed off even though I didn't want to be! I didn't even know what the hell I was doing. Nobody told me how to do anything and that if you sit in the back you have to stear the stupid thing. Where was I? In the back! Anyways not even 5 minutes down the river me and Katie hit a big hill.. actually a mud slide! We flip the canoe and my flip flops came off.. needless to say I lost those babies! I was freaking out so I was trying to climb up the hill and slip right down on my ass. That hurt. Everyone (my family) was passing us and nobody could stop to help cause there was nowhere to stop. Anyways we had to walk with the canoe somewhere where we could actually get back in it cause it was to deep. We finally got to a shallow spot and get back in. FIVE minutes later (maybe not even) we hit a big ass tree! The thing flips over again and by this time I AM PISSED. I threw my ore down and it floated down the river. Katie went down to get it but she got stuck between a big rock and a tree branch. I had to go get her cause she was crying and she cut her foot. Well I cut my foot as we were going to cause of course I didn't have any shoes. There was this really nice lady who tried to help us because her camp site was right above where we hit. As soon as I get Katie back to the canoe we had to get all the water out of it. That wasn't working really well. My dad and uncle Ran had to come and let me tell ya it wasn't a hope, skip, and a jump away either. It was a long hike for them to walk against the current. They got all the water out for us and walked us the my ma and aunt. My dad got in the canoe with me and Katie got in the canoe with my ma and we went from there. I have a HUGE bruise on my leg along with a lot of little ones here and there. My feet are all cut up and my legs hurt like crazy. After I got in with my dad and he did all the work I was kinda okay. I could only paddle when he told me too. I finally got the hang of it towards the end. I was also starting to have fun towards the end. It wasn't a very nice day to start cause it was only 70 degrees outside and the water was freezing. I ruined my shirt and shorts and lost my flip flops. My hat didn't turn out to bad. So that was my canoe trip. Today was the family reunion. I'm not drunk. I didn't even drink at all. Hmm. Go figure. It turned out pretty good, the reunion. It was good to see everyone. But I am ready to go home. I miss my bed. Tomorrow we are heading home early so I think I am gonna hit the sack. Night. ta!
