Daytona Beach!

Yup, it's true! I went to Daytona Beach a few weeks ago. I'm terribly sorry about not posting in such a long while. I am going to have to get it into gear, huh? :P The photo above is the view from my parent's hotel window.



Benjamin LOVED it. Here we tied the boogie board to Mom's beach chair, which was sitting where the ocean would come in and sweep over her feet. Benjamin would stand on the boogie board and when the water came in he would get a little ride. :) :) :)


I found a dead crab floating around in the water. (You might have noticed that I am wearing a tshirt in this picture instead of my bathing suit. Just in case you were wondering, I got sun burnt pretty bad and so I decided to wear my shirt to the beach this day to avoided further sunburn.)






After the beach my cousin, Caleb, and his friend, Kyle, came down to spend the weekend with us. All of the boys in our house (besides Benjamin) went to go play golf and us girls went to play putt-putt. That's Jackie up there.






Benjamin really loves putt-putt and he is good at it too! He got two or three holes-in-one. 0.0


Right now we are in the throws of VBS at my church. I have always loved VBS week. I am helping out with the music for the opening ceremony thing this year. The other girls who are doing it and I match every night and it is so much fun! My dad is this year's mascot. He is a astronaut. I'll see if I can't get a picture of him in his suit for you all. It's pretty great! As you may have guessed, this year's theme is Space, which is just fine with me because I love space. I mean, there are so many BEAUTIFUL things up there that God has made and yet he made us and loves us the most. Pretty crazy, huh?

Camp, Mountains, and Pancakes.

Alright, so just were HAVE I been these past few weeks? Well, first, I went to CAMP! I love church camp! This years theme was Space Camp. Below is my team's ship that we carried around during the game time.





Here is the stage with the "Space Camp" screen.

This is on the other side of our ship.


These are a couple of friends I met at camp this year. We went on a hike and this is what was at the top. Beautiful what God makes, huh?


This was also on the hike. We were so close to the power lines that you could hear the electricity moving through the lines!



Several people brought guitars and during our free times we would gather and sing songs. FUN!!! Of course, this has made me want to learn the acoustic guitar. Hehe, will see how that goes ;) .



After camp, I stayed a week in the mountains visiting friends and family. Below, you can see some of my friends riding on one of my friends horses. I adore horses! They are so beautiful and just down right cool. :P








I also made a pepperoni/celery pizza at one of other friend's houses. YUMMMMMMM!!!!!






I got home on Friday. Saturday we had a pancake breakfast fundraiser for our trip this next week. Down there is Daddy holding up signs on the side of the road, trying to flag down some cars to stop. Go, Daddy, go!!!!! :)







Well, thats where I have been! I might get to post next week, might not. Just depends. :)

im posting from...

... MY KINDLE! Yes thats right. i finally figured out how to get online with my kindle and now i am extremely happy. this is also why you will notice that there is pretty much no puncuation and probably some mispellings. just so you know.

anyway as you know i have been away for about three weeks now and will be gone again next week. i had a wonderful time at the mission trip and at camp. this past week i was at my grandparents andthat was super fun as well. i will post pictures when i am able and will go into more detail.

i will say this one thing though. my mind has been changed about one subject this past week. what is the subject yu ask? SILLYBANDS. i admit that i was quite prejudice against them for a while. but then my sister gave me some VT sillybands. the world has never been the same since. of corse one of my friends then gave me a few of hers and i am now proudly wearing all six of my sillybands on my arm. im really moving up in the world huh? haha. i just might post pictures on here of all my sillybands. what do you think about sillybands?
