Girls Night Out

My brothers were invited to a baseball game birthday party this last Saturday night. It was decided that my dad was going to take them. So it was just my mom, my sister, and me for the night.

For dinner we got to go to Chili's. It was really good! My mom and I shared a boneless buffalo wing salad.

Then after that we went to Toys R Us, since Kylee still had some birthday money.

Next, because of our up coming trip to AZ, we went to the Barnes and Noble, the one with Starbucks in it, and Kylee and I both got two new books. We also, of course, got coffee and two DELICIOUS cookies. It was really fun.

Making Noodles

Yesterday we bought a pasta maker. Than, last night my mom and I made noodles. They were really easy to make.

All you had to do was make the dough with just flour and eggs. Then after it sat for a little bit you could take a ball of the dough, flour it a little and crank it through the flat attachment. You do this a couple of times, and when it was thin enough you are ready to crank it through the pasta cutter attachment. You then just lay the noodles out to dry for a bit and boil them when you are ready. It was really cool, even though you had to crank it.

We made fettuccine noodles and they were delicious!

A Trip To AZ

In less than two weeks me and my sister are going to Arizona for seventeen days. We went last year for two weeks and it was a blast.

I am so excited because I'll get to see my aunt and uncle and my cousins.

I'll also get to see my Nana and papa.

I am going to have so much fun, I can hardly wait!

Even though I'm not looking forward to the hot temperatures, it's worth it.

The Camp Cafeteria

Now, the camp cafeteria was a totally different story from the camp lake. It's food made me think my mom's was cake. Luckily, they had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. So on more then one occasion I ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for my meal.

There were pitchers of water lemonade/juice on the table. If there was still water in the pitcher they would leave it on the table for the next group who sat there. To me, I think that's kind of gross.

Then there was KP duty. For some of you who don't know what KP duty is, I'll explain. Each group had to scrape food of dishes for 45 minutes until the next group was ready to do their shift. Thankfully, we only had to do this once.

I had fun but I am still glad to be back home.

The Williamson Lake

Camp was so much fun! But I'm glad to be back home.

One of the most fun things at camp was the lake.

Lake Williamson was no ordinary lake! It had water slides and a lot of other stuff. There was a zip line, something called the blob, and some other fun things.

The zip line was a long wire that is really far above the water. You hold onto this bar and go along the wire until the person at the deck clangs the bell. When the person clangs the bell, you have to let get go and drop into the water. When I did this I got a lot of icky lake water up my nose!

Then there was the blob. I didn't actually go on the blob, but I can still tell you about it. It was a big long blow up thing in the water. Someone would go down to the end where the hole was and another person would jump of a high deck on the front of the blob and the person on the end would go flying into the lake.

Yet another blow up thing was the ice berg. Now I did try this one but did not succeed on getting on. the ice berg was pyramid shaped and had lots of handles on three sides of it. The third side was smooth. if you reached the top, you could slide down the smooth side.

Another thing to do on the lake was to go canoeing. Canoeing, I found, was not an easy thing. My canoeing partner, Jenae, kept telling me to put my oars in the boat because I was paddling on the wrong side. I have to admit, the lake was great!
