Aloe Vera, STROKE!s and Texas Sheet Cake

Apparently, over the past few days I've had no excuse not to blog, and a lot has been going on, so now, to make up for it I would like to write about everything that's happened.
Thursday my ES came and that was pretty boring. I had to do the Scantron, blech, so I'll skip that day because I can :)). Friday was Sundae park day first. I sat boringly on a park bench until I decided to stop being such a wimp and join Maddy. So Maddy and I hung out and ate ice cream with Claire, Alyssa, Tiffany and even a new girl, Courtney, for awhile. After awhile we had to go over to Maddy, Claire, Alyssa and Christian's for the Teen Party. We chilled for awhile, but decided to check the Meetup to see who was coming again. As my mom read the list off she came to "Andrew". "Andrew V or Andrew L?" I questioned. "Andrew V." "Oh Andrew V." And then the door popped open and in came Derek followed by none other than Andrew V... "Speaking of which..." said Lexie and I in unision, grinning. They never caught on to our joke :). Then came Brenten, Zach, Em, Kaleb, Simon, Tiffany, Courtney, and Trenton. It was totally sick (btw that's the new word I'm trying since so many others are overcopywrighted!). This was cause for much playing of Ninja. YES! But Trenton and Courtney forgot their bathing suits so I jumped in for them too. That was three times almost every game, actually, scratch that, every game! It made me feel a little lightheaded each time for about 3 minutes. There was lots of pizza, and quoting of Pirates of the Carribbean, and when we begged, gulping and fighting over ice water :)). As always it was too short no matter how long it was! Saturday I inconveniently didn't get online which was cause for Mrs. Fillmore to call us and ask if Lex and I wanted to go rafting with them, the O'Neills, and Andrew L. Of course we did! Is that even a legit question? We had to go get ready that second, "They're already on their way there!" Mom said. We frantically threw on bathing suits and shorts, grabbed our towels and water bottles and ran to the car. While waiting for the Fillmores and O'Neills to arrive we were channel surfing the radio and found a Mexican station. "Oh yeah!" I shouted. We all pretended to be rocking out and thoroughly enjoying this very gay music in spanish, and mom shouted "I-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!" Of course that was the very moment Mrs. Fillmore pulled up... Not long after Mr. Fillmore and the O'Neills arrived. I jumped in with Breten, Andrew, Bryce, Mr. Fillmore and Brenna and Lex rode with Mrs. Fillmore, Zach and Em. The rafting trip was totally bomb! lots of tipping, rocking, singing off key and Brenten Lex and I are all officially, according to Zach, "Crazy and bad singers." Funny thing is people always seem to think I'm disliking what their doing at random moments when I'm only teasing them. It pretty much takes everything I've got to keep a straight unlaughing face! We tried this rope swing and I kept slipping off! My friends decided to name that one "The Halie". My signature move is a failed attempt! lol. The second swing we came to I was better at. I could actually hold on, that is. As usual Brenten did a lot of quoting on movies we'd never seen. As usual we quoted Pirates of the Carribbean and the Elf. Also there was, of course, plenty of Ninja! That game never gets old! So Mrs. Fillmore drove Lex, I and the O'Neills to meet my mom and Andrew and Brenten went with his dad to get some poor guy's car out of the mud! My mom met the O'Neills' dad and we all went home. This evening I made Texas Sheet Cake - YUM!! Lex and I want to plan an all day airsoft and games day on the 16 of October at the Ranch, and spend the weekend with our grandma Barbara. We're going to ask soon, I think she'll say yes. Most likely. I'm so excited! Laterz!
