first things first again. the final swim meet. *tear* not really. it was against West Side YMCA this time. They don't have as many boys as we do but they definitely have more tiny kids than we do. i enjoyed swimming only three things because the meet got cut short. See the thing is that WSY doesn't have lights that work at their pool, so once the lifeguards can't see the bottom the pool anymore, the meet gets called. the funny thing is that Hannah b., one of my friends, Sharon, and i all said that as soon as we got out of the water or up to the block that the meet was going to be called. guess what happened... as soon as we got onto the block, the announcer said, last event! so so so not fair! but get this: we were talking before we lined up about swimming butterfly and i jokingly said that i was going to drowned. the funny thing is, that Hannah b. jokingly said back: "who would you like to be your saving mouth?" i said seriously, "your man's brother." she gave me a funny look for a second, then understood. then the look got even weirder because she was thinking about it. see, Hannah g. has a crush on her man's brother. and Hannah b.'s man's brother has a crush on Hannah g. awkward for me! guess i got to find a new man... fast! the other events i swam that night were free, back, and i would have swam the 15-18 relay, but they called it before the meet was over. we ended up losing by 107 points! but they had a bunch of little kids and all of our eight and under boys were getting DQ'ed because they would flip onto their stomachs and finish their back there, instead of their backs. like they were supposed to. most of the team went to the Sonic right down the road from the pool, but seeing how me and Rachel had to be at the church at 6:45 AM the next day, Mom and Dad figured it not a good idea to push the time restraints.
so, moving on:
girls camp, ah! the fun time of the summer! the only time that i have to myself WITHOUT too many men around. this year it was stake, which means there were several girls there from our area, but just go to a different church building. we had to be at our church at 6:45 that morning because we needed to be at camp by 10 AM. its about a 2 hour drive to Pickett State Park where we stayed. so, by 9:30ish, we were at camp and checked in. So, this was Wednesday. That day we sang Little Sally Walker a ba-gillion times and then proceeded to sing other camp songs like Mormon Boy, Mormon Girl, Sippin' Cider, Three Starving Buzzards, and many more. Around 10:30 PM, we loaded up into cars to on a hike to see glow worm larvae. as we started our descent into the cave, one of the girls (Leslie) slipped, fell and ended up breaking her ankle. the amazing thing is, is that her twin sister, Leah, was in the front while Leslie was in the back. right before Leslie screamed in pain, Leah yelled her name and ran back to catch her, I guess. the leaders helped her up and took her back to camp. the rest of us continued on our hike to see these fluorescent insects. the funny thing was that you couldn't look straight at the larvae, you kind of had to use your peripheral vision. it was around 2 am before our cabin fell asleep that night, partially because we were all freaked out about Leslie and because it was the first night of camp, who isn't excited?
the rest of girls camp wasn't as exciting as that. allie got glow stick glass and glowy stuff in her eye, brooke twisted her ankle on the swing, and me and hannah b. practically cried our eyes out during testimony meeting. we had fun teaching the younger girls about gawking and staying up late with our YCL's talking in our cabin.
the next day continued, I guess, and 7:30 am when the leaders came into our cabin and declared that we needed to be in the mess hall in a half hour for breakfast.
