Epic Day, Epic Friends, Epic Times
Today was one of those days that it's so long and jam-packed full of fun stuff that you can't believe it was only one day instead of several. We started off by going to park day, it was an unusually late one and way more teens than usual showed. Brenten, Taylor, Andrew, Savannah, and a few newbies, Hannah, Maddy, Claire and Christian. We all met up and became friends fast, Maddy, Claire and Christian had two plastic bats and a whiffle ball in their car so we played whiffle ball, which apparently is exactly like baseball except with a whiffle ball. It was hot and we were all sweating and the teams split evenly went back and forth crushing each other until the end where the score was actually undetermined. The teams were: Me, Maddy, Claire, Christian and Hannah vs. Brenten, Taylor, Lexie, Savannah and Andrew. It was crazy fun and insanely hot, we were all sweating and fighting for spots in the shade. Of course home was a big shady tree so we always wanted that much more to be up to bat. Anyway we finished gulping down any water in sight and looking through my Guinness book of World Records. Then Andrew, Lex, Robynn and I went home with the Fillmores for Lego Club. Derek was already there hot hot hot in the pool house out back. We set to work joking and building, no telling which more so and finally have just about finished off our obstacle course. It's hilarious, the theme is 'Body Forward' so there's a syringe on wheels, a leg in a cast, a heart, and countless other interesting parts. Andrew and I, who were previously teamed to build a brain connected to a door (for competition's sake) built lots of other things including a stretcher.... We had to leave, as usual, much too soon and much too late. Mom picked us up and drove us over to the O'Neills'. We ate pizza, watched AFV and chilled for awhile then went out to the pool. Lex, Em, and I swam while Zach tested out his airsoft gun. Eventually he made his way over, still fully clothed and was promptly soaked by Alexis and Em. Then, Lexie proceeded to take the key from the locked fence surrounding the pool and hide it... in several places. Originally from Zach, but eventually we were all fighting for our passage out. We went in and Em, Lex and I played Imaginiff. They asked Zach if he wanted to play but apparently he was still searching for a certain pair of lost glasses..... Later on however, probably mainly afraid of what was being said about him he decided to join our game. We're still not sure if he actually found his glasses. Many funny things were decided. If Derek were something to sit on he'd be an electric chair voted unanimously! If I were an emotion I'd be hate, which is agreeably better than lust.. If Brenten were on a plane and the pilot died suddenly he'd offer to land the plane ( we agreed after a small prayer maybe..). Anyways we ended up just sitting, flipping through my Guinness book, watching Pirates of the Caribbean, eating some popcorn Lex and Em decided to pop, just reading the Imaginiff cards and voting on the results on various people, and laughing... A LOT. Anyways tomorrow's going to be super fun. Hopefully it will include a tiebreaker rematch of Nuts aside from the expected airsoft and swim. Plus I can't wait to see the looks on everyone's faces when they realize Lex and I finally got our camo!! And it's the stuff the military uses, courtesy of good old Grandpa Butch, retired Marine.
