A Farmer's Market Adventure!!!!

Hello my readers.  How are we today?
Okay, this is dumb. I wanted to try a "professional" sounding intro, but no, just, no, it's not working. 
So, anyways, I haven't exactly been blogging much lately, because, well... I just forgot. 
I'm not exactly on top of things when it comes to Summer. I always tell myself at the end of the school year that I'm going to review all the stuff I learned so I don't forget it.
And guess what? I DID review my math!
Once. 
But that's still an improvement from last Summer.
So, the other day, my mom went to this farmer's market, and she really liked it. She wanted to go to one  that was downtown, but my step-dad (who is a police officer) wouldn't go because he said it wasn't a safe area. 
That was the first hint that this wasn't a good idea. 
So, then my mom, being the brave woman she is, decides its a better idea that since my step-dad won't go, it's a brilliant idea to go without him, and to take her two daughters ie. me and my sister.
Well, my step-dad's theory of that not being a good area was proved correct when we got near the farmer's market, turned into a REALLY sketchy area and saw a police car, with an officer, making an arrest.
Don't ask my why, but we still went to the farmer's market. 

All in all, though, there were really only a few people there that made you want to turn around and sprint away down the street from. 
The rest of the people there were pretty nice.
And the food was good. 

Not to mention, we met Josh. Josh let us hold a GIANT watermelon that was bigger than me basically. 
Well, that's not exactly true, but that thing probably weighed forty pounds. My sister and I took a picture with the giant watermelon. Josh was in the picture too.

Sooooooo,
bye!!!

Summer Summer Summer Summer SUMMER!!!!!!!!

In case you couldn't tell from the title of this post, it's Summer vacation and I'm very excited about it. We've been off for about a month now and it's been pretty great.
 My sister and I have gone rock climbing a bunch, and we're actually thinking about going to do it outdoors. She's done it outside before, but I haven't. Speaking of climbing, we made a rock climbing video of us and I sorta love it. Here's the link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Weeaxqnr4h4&list=UUHqlpa7aC7zouYHYwfWaPqA&index=1&feature=plcp 
Oh, and there's also been tons and tons of photography!! (of course!)
I went with my photography teacher to the Arboretum, where they have this really cool glass exhibit, and I'm honestly pretty excited about some of the pictures. :)






Anyways, my sister and I were actually going to go climbing today, but she was pretty tired from a workout earlier, and I'm still waiting for my arm to get better. I'm not sure what I did to it, but it's been hurting for about three days, so I'm just giving it a while to heal up so it can be ready to climb again. :)
Oh, but at the rock climbing place we go to,  I think, no, I know, they have a cricket problem. Okay, so I heard that crickets were supposed to be good luck, but this many of them? They're everywhere! Actually, one of them crawled across my foot when I was belaying my sister, and I screamed like a little girl and tried to shake it off. It freaked me out, but embarrassed me more because the next thing I knew I had a bunch of people staring at me. 
So this Tuesday night, they're having 4th of July fireworks... on the 3rd of July. I'm pretty stoked for that because guess who gets to try out photographing fireworks?
Me!!!
We went last year, and they were really really good. We also brought my dog, who proceeded to bark at them.
Oh and guess what guess what guess what!!!!!!
I finally hit 100 pages in my book Living a Lie
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I'm happy about it.
Soooo,
bye!!
