So here it is, the story of what I did at new years (or at least at and around new years anyways). So I'm in this group called younglife and every year they have two trips. a summer camp which goes on for 8ish days, and a winter/new years camp which goes on for about 5 days. So i went and signed up for the winter one because the summer camp was AMAZING. So we all went to the ferry and got on board. We walked and hung around and played card games and jammed and sang, Martin brought his guitar for us to sing along to and to amuse us/rub it into our faces about how great he is at EVERYTHING, until we got to the other side. when we did, we had to get on a coach to take us to Rockridge canyon, which would take about 5ish hours.
so Me, Tara, Martin, Little Petey, and Bailey sat at the front and started to chat about everything. About an hour into the ride we started jamming with Martins guitar. we sang a whole whack of songs such as hey soul sister, teenage dream, Jessie's girl, sweet home Alabama, just the way you are, forget you, a whole bunch i forget, and our all time favorite, DON'T STOP BELIEVING!!!!. along the way we stopped at a dairy queen where we met some of the other various groups that were going. also Me, Tara, Little Petey, and Martin went into this pet shop and saw an IGUANA!. I begged and pleaded, but neither Tara nor Martin would buy it for me and i got sad :( but then i remembered i have sam my dog so i could do without an iguana for awhile.
So we finally got to NYC (new years camp) and it was COVERED IN SNOW. I love snow so this was a great thing for me. And there's this humongous lake at the back that was frozen solid, so we walked across that a few times just for fun. and there was a skating rink on it so people could, ya know, skate. I forgot to bring my imaginary ones so i couldn't. so we explored and had a great time and played a whole bunch of ninja, which is my all time favorite game in the world.
So while i was at this camp i met a whole bunch of amazing people who are just awesome. I'll just name off a few. Marcus is one, he's a pretty cool dude and is really good at ninja. Curtis is another. he's down right lurasp and exactly like me in every way, we decided that we are twins and were separated at birth. he's so cool and loves to play ninja. if you put Marcus and Curtis in a ninja match, you better be ready to wait a couple of hours for them to finish. then there's Graham, he's another leader of a different group. he's really awesome and a cool guy to talk to.
so we sang a lot of songs, awesome ones at that, every night, and we played a whole whack of games. one of them was pretty fun. we were all split into two groups and had some flags and water balloons (which i think were a bad idea for -20 weather but whatever). so each team had a bonfire and the other team had to throw the balloons at it to put it out and if your flag got stolen you had to walk back to your side. afterwards we all got hot chocolate, which was great. PS: MY TEAM WON...i think...oh well. i think even if we didn't that we should have. I swear that the balloons froze halfway in the air. Also, the next day there were random pools of ice everywhere so as you can see, it was cold.
well anyways, I seem to ramble a lot so i'll post about more later...maybe. also it doesn't help that in my head, all the events melted into one so i don't know when what was. but it was fun i can tell you that
