(no subject)
went camping last friday. it was eventful.
So many family members showed up. I really only hung out with kevin the entire time because all of our cousins wanted to sit and do nothing. The first day, we drove to lake michigan and it was a yellow flag so me and kevin body surfed and dumb stuff like that until we got bored. Then we walked through the lagoon. As were were walking up to it kevin told me a tree that was laying across the ground was really a dead crocodile and I believed it. lol. I started freaking out and he just stood there laughing. so yeah, we walked through the never ending lagoon and got covered in clay from sliding down the 'clay slide.' By then it was like 7pm so we went back to the camp site and sat around by the fire with everyone.
It stormed that night. I was fucking scared because we're in the middle of no where while it's storming... real nice. and my uncle was laughing at me. and my cousin, who insisted on sleeping in this ity bity tent, got flooded. lol, it was so damn funny. and a tree branch fell on him.
Saturday:
Me, Andrew and Kevin climbed the dunes to get to the lake. we started off racing up the dunes but that turned out to be a bad idea cause we all got tired not even a quarter of the way up. 30 minutes later we get to the lake and it was a green flag so we didnt bother getting in the water. Complete waste of time.
Kevin and I went back through the lagoon with my Dad. We tried to get him to go down the clay slide but he wouldn't. We found like this huge drain pipe thing... I dont know what you would call it but whatever, Kevin and I climbed up in it and couldn't get back down. We were in there for about 15 minutes trying to find a way down. lol. it was pathetic.
Sunday:
THE MOST EXCITING DAY EVER.
and this will be very long;
We packed up and went to the lake before going home. It was a read flag with 8ft waves, so of course everyone was excited. After about 20minutes of messing around in the water the waves started coming harder and faster, and kevin and I didnt want to die so we started swimming back to the shoreline. the undercurrent was far too strong though. I looked over at kevin and he just looked so fucking scared. so he takes my hand and we manage to get to the sandbar. we stood there watching dad and our cousin brian try and help everyone else out of the water. and then suddenly... the sandbar got washed away. lol. kevin's freaking out because we can no longer touch ground and we're both tired of swimming/fighting the current. I was like, "kevinnnn, im not going to let you just die" he was like, "i wont let you die either!" hahaha. so we make our way to the shoreline and so did pretty much everyone else. all was good until we realized Andrew was still out in the water somewhere. so my dad went back out to look for him. andrew had already made it out though. my dad found jimmy screaming for help but he couldnt get to him so then some random guy came out and got jimmy and his girlfriend.
Then we all started walking back towards to where my mom was laying when we realized UH OH, OUR COUSIN BRIAN WASN'T WITH US. so Kevin and I stood at the shoreline looking for him and we saw him soooooo far out trying to swim for his life. lol. My dad had to go back in the water and get him.
So we went back to our cars and as we were pulling out, my uncles truck broke down. We called OnStar and waited for them to come. We now had four people that didnt have a ride back home.
Our car was already full but we ended up taking Dom and Donny (my cousins friends) in our car. In the backseat it was Me, Kevin, Andrew, Dom and Donny... five us smooshed into three seats for 7hours. it was lovely. None of us could move.
we stopped at some go-kart place for the boys on the way home. lol, dave apparently disrespected employees/rules so we had to leave.
it was a lovely trip.
