Sunsplash Story

This summer I have a season pass to Sunsplash. It's a water park and is featured in the movie "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure." Well... tube slides are my favorite! There is this one four person tube slide where you fly down this really steep drop into a big bowl and go around two or three times before going down another little drop to the exit. It's super fun and sometimes we get out of the tube and run around the bowl and then jump on before it exits. haha My sister NEVER does that because she think we'll die. Anyways... Our friends had just gone down. I was about to go down with my sister and friend, but the life guards were changing shifts. The cute boy at the top asked if he could ride down with us and we said of course! He started gathering all of his life guard stuff and the new life guard girl waited to send our tube down. The guy sat down and then i asked the new girl to spin the tube so Megan would go down backwards (she freaks out). The girl nodded and laughed and sorta spun it then walked to get out of the way. Right before we cleared her she tripped and fell right in front of our tube! She stared sliding down the drop and our tube had passed the point of no return so we followed her. She was clutching onto our tube screaming! I was a little scared the tube would go over her, but it didn't so Brianna and I remained calm. Megan looked like she was going to start crying. She was silently freaking out. The life guard on our tube? He blew his whistle all the way down the drop. We entered the bowl and everyone was fine. The girl? She's like crying and screaming and maybe swearing still while scrambling around the bowl. The guy tried pulling her onto the tube and kept telling her to calm down, but she wouldn't... so he started blowing the whistle again! hahahahaha Brianna and I just looked at each other and tried not to laugh. Finally the life guard guy pulls the girl onto tube and she is still freaking out and not cooperating. Then he blows the whistle again as we go down the next drop. The life guard at the bottom of the slide's expression? Priceless! A tube of 5 people: One girl about to cry, two girls laughing, a life guard still blowing a whistle, and another lifeguard is drenched in water and maybe going into shock. I also wish I knew what the teenage boys behind us in line were thinking as they saw both lifeguards go down. It would have been even better if they just jumped down the drop after us. Party in the bowl! ;)


I saw Brave the day it came out and it was NOT as good as Tangled. No love story? Not a musical? Naked butts? What is going on?!?! haha It was still a good movie and I recommend everything Disney, but it wasn't my favorite. I'll try not to post too many spoilers. Sorry!


Today is my mom's birthday and she is so wonderful. I seriously want to be almost exactly like her when I grow up. She's fun, social, silly, and bakes delicious food. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't tell her anything and she says that I'm the one that taught her how to listen. I think we're so similar and I couldn't be happier. I love her so much. <3

F12H Summer

Funny story, Blogger crashed on my computer! I've been checking it weekly, but it wouldn't open!!! So frustrating and I slightly feel like I've failed as a blogger, but now it magically has reopened and so I will start again. Too hard to recap so I'll just talk about the more recent past.

Magic of Musical Theatre Workshop at Mesa Community College. For the last six years I've attended that camp. It's a workshop that is five hours a day for two weeks and then has three (this year two) performances. I hear so many great songs, develop my talents, and meet the most amazing people. This year was my last year since I'll be a senior in the fall and it's a little heart breaking thinking how I'll never participate again in something that use to define the first quarter of my summer. Growing up is hard! Well since I was one of the four seniors, three other stunning girls, we became a little bit diva. haha When you've done something like that for as long as we have you fully expect to run the show... and multiple directors told us we made it wonderful. Win! I will always appreciate the directors, interns, band, older kids, and then finally younger kids that inspired me to continue what I love. Finishing up Junior Year was hard stuff and that was a wonderful way to start the summer.

I haven't been getting any hours at work and even though that is frustrating, it leaves more time for adventures! Staying up late and sleeping in has become the usual and activities have included Sunsplash, ultimate frisbee, a pudding fight, swimming, movies, splash pads, chalk, and just laying around and talking. I am a little heartbroken that I decided not to go to EFY this year, but it had a good run and I'll return someday as a rockin counselor. The summer is only halfway through and Girls Camp, California, and AYT's Ambassador performance for America West Airlines are yet to come. It's always a party.

With Fathers Day yesterday I'm devoting this last paragraph to my dad. I'm so thankful that I have a dad who constantly works to support our family and cares about all of us so much. He may be embarrassing and such a tease, but I love him and I hope he's always there to support me. <3
