I Like That Old Time Rock And Roll!

Yesterday Lex and I recieved what is becoming the oh-so-familiar Saturday call asking if we'd like to go rafting. Of course we did! We did have to break important previous plans... shampooing our carpets! lol Just kidding. So we drove over to meet the Fillmores. Mr. Fillmore called us on my mom's cell while we were on our way over. It went something like this: "Answer it, Halie!" "What? No!" "Yes, just answer it, it's Mr. Fillmore!" "Ugh, fine... Hello?" "Hi, Tanya, this is Ryan. Are you guys almost here?" "Um, hi, it's Halie.. Yes we're on our way over." "Oh hi, Halie! You sounded just like your mom!..." etc, until the phone started cutting out, and after much amateur difficulty dropped his call. Anyways so we finally arrived and met up with Mr. Fillmore, Brenten, Brenna, Bryce, Claire and their Uncle Curtis. We started off at the area we stopped at last time we went rafting. Which means ROPE SWING!! Lex and I wore Wetsuits this time. Lexie had a heck of a time getting her full suit on, an enlisted the help of both Mr. Fillmore and myself. I was able to get my own on since I only wore a shortie. And so the swinging began! Then we went a little farther down the river and Mr. Fillmore drove us two at a time through the rapids on the raft. Once when Brenten and I were on the people on shore informed us upon arrival that "If you'd gone about 3 feet higher you would've tipped the raft!" We found a few more rope swings as we continued on, they were like, totally sick, yo. Lots of swimming, freezing, numbing, laughing, pushing, and grabbing of feet! We sang some Weird Al. We did some more STROKEs. At one point I announced, "You know what Em would say if she were here Brenten?" "Huh? What?" "Pink is your color." He was wearing a pink and black wetsuit. There you go Em, for you. :) When we got to the end of our rafting we played Ninja, Lexie, Brenten, Brenna, Bryce and I. I'm getting better I think, that or just mean and pain inflicting... I've begun using my elbows.... But every time I do it a voice in my head screams WHAT THE HECK DID YOU JUST DO? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!?! And then I feel really bad... But of course Brenten and I won about even. And I did some acrobatics freezing in positions I wouldn't enjoy revisiting anytime soon! Brenna was very upset when she got hit in the face accidentally by Brenten and her braces made her bleed. Claire was very sympathetic, plus I loved her accent :)). I'm a dork, I love accents like that. So we played more Ninja until Mr. Fillmore got back with the car and we all got in. We met my mom and Lex and I were picked up. Today was fairly boring other than my seeming inability to be contacted. I was not "Right back" when I told Brenten I would be.. I stopped to wash dishes, hang curtains, reassemble couch cushons and complain about computer problems until mom fixed the computer... hehe. Sorry Brenten. While washing dishes I borrowed Alexis' MP3 player and unfortunately Air 1 did not come in where I was standing... So I found some other station, almost every song they played I knew! Now I have tons of olderish songs fragments stuck in my head! Like "I like that old time rock and roll!" "I will go down with this ship! I won't put my hands up in surrender, there will be no white flag upon my dome..." "Red red wine!" "I got a pocket full of sunshine.." and MORE! I did get to talk to Emily though! Hurray Hurrah! Anyway, Laterz!
