Man, That Was Fun, (3)

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I obviously had no time to blog, but now I do.

Monday--we went to the Air Force Museum I think is what it's called. We had our very own private guide, Pops, who knew pretty much everything.

Tuesday--We went swimming at the S's, who have a huge pond, full of fish. If you didn't keep loud, then you'd find fish around you. It was fun. Pops fished on one side of the pond, while we swam on the other side. After swimming, we went horse backriding with the two M girls, Gretchen and Lindsay. My horse's name was Caleb, and he like to eat a bit, took some very careful footing, and had bugs all over him. Not when I got on him, just on the trail. When I say all over him, I mean now and then a big fly or horsefly would come up and bug him like crazy. So he was a little slow. Once he took a short cut. Ok, so there's a U turn, and the person in front of me is already around the bend, and I'm not quite starting on it. So Caleb decides to cut across the U turn, and save time. Only problem was, there was this big low hanging branch that is all right for him to go under, but the person on top of him (cough, me) can't. So I stop him, and get my first chance at backing up a horse. Fun fun fun.

Wednesday--abyack went swimming, and I came along to fly fish. Ok,
1st fish: was small, but the hook was caught way back in it's mouth.
2nd fish:was huge, maybe a foot long, maybe, and abyack had to come with the net, because it was so big.
3rd fish:was huge. Pops had been fighting this one while abyack and I caught the 2nd fish, and then Pops came over to deal with the 2nd fish, so I fought with this one. when it came above water, and abyack netted it, we had gotten a huge bass, definately at least a foot long, and bigger than the 2nd fish. That one was fun.
4th fish:was small. abyack was swimming by, so I didn't cast it, but just dangled it in the water. I moved it about, just to kill time until I could cast, and a fish came along, and bit it. I brought it up, and was holding onto it's squirming body while trying to unhook the hook that was hooked on its lip. It suddenly jerked itself out of my hand, and flopped back into the water. I grabbed the pole, and waited for it to start fighting again, but nothing happened. Then I noticed that the line wasn't in the water. Meaning, the fish had unhooked itself. Good for it.

Wednesday--we went bowling after fishing. Not a very good day for me. I usually cream them. Not this time. ktyack jinxed me.The first game, I came in second, with 92, and the 2nd game, I came in last, with 78. abyack got 133 the 2nd game. It's funny. I think we switched after the first two or three tries. I got a strike first thing, so I'm like, this'll be a good game, and then I started getting 3's and 5's and you really need 8's and 9's and spares. Oh, well. I think we're going to try and find a bowling alley somewhere close to us, so it's not a once a year thing. We played with Gretchen and Lindsay. Then came back and we all watched Princess Bride. I was pretty much mouthing the words the whole time, while working on my puzzle.

Thursday--woke up early and walked the reservoir. It's 3.8 miles. Aiee. (I'm catching some of ktyack's cliches, and sayings.) Then we watched Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. It was ok. some downsides and some upsides. It's a very girly movie--meaning boys would be bored stiff.

Friday--I worked on my puzzle, and we went out to ice cream after dinner.

Saturday--packed up and went to Great Granny's, and went to Amish Door for lunch, then we hung out, and played Skip-Bo. Then we came home, and it seemed like we never left. After we left Granny's, Granny wasn't feeling too good, and they went to the hospital, and she has kidney problems, so pleeze pray 4 her. I g2g, VBS, see.
