The Prancing Pony

we saw batman last night! if i could describe it in one word, it would probably be...

disturbing.

it was amazing though!! heath leger did a fabulous job. his joker laugh was chilling. i am, quite frankly, shocked that i didnt have nightmares. though i did see the jokers face every time i closed my eyes...

when the joker saw rachel, he said, 'hello beautiful.' that also happens to be a jonas brothers song, which i was going to put on my wall with those nifty wall sticker thingys. and its my ringtone. so im a little scared now.

it went a heck of a lot longer than was necessary.

still, a riveting movie, and worth seeing.

that is, if you can handle it.

we chased crabs again last night. we caught like a kajillion. i named them all and we managed to convince dennis not to eat them. we let them all go after about an hour and they all were scrambling around and crawling all over each other (and us) to get the the water. it was gross.

dennis bough MORE fireworks. again, we set off our whole supply in one night. being the brilliant people that we are, we didnt bother to use the lighter and lit all the fireworks off each other.

now, since all all of us are sunburned-some worse than others-we are planning a day out of the sun. kaitie and i really want to go see batman, but we are afraid there wont be any seats in the entire theater.

suzette made pancakes for breakfast this morning. yumm.

and also knowing that its all my fault that i look like a lobster because i put on my own sunscreen and trusted my brother to do my back. :P

so we sat in the car for...eight hours? maybe more...to get to the beach that was supposed to be four to five hours away. stupid traffic.

but here we are at the beach! we got here too late yesterday to get in the water, but we got a TON of fireworks and set them all off last night and went crab hunting on the beach. the night was so pretty...the moon was yellow-ish and you could see all the stars. there were a couple clouds, but it just made everything prettier. then all the smoke from the fireworks filled the air. it was fun though.

today we went boogie boarding in the ICE COLD ocean. it was freakishly freezing, but not so bad after you got numb. the waves were great, probably due to the tropical storm thats supposed to show up sometime soon. they said it was gonna come today, but, lo and behold, sun and very few clouds.

the water here has a LOT more seaweed that myrtle beach does. my swimsuit filled up really fast. ick.

and so here i am (with wi-fi! yay!) blogging and in pain because of a stupid sunburn. :P

i just got back from girls camp...

i missed the first of four days because i had a swim meet and i was still ready to leave by the end of day two.

canoeing <--spellcheck) was fun! hannah (a different one that i met at camp) and i tipped yumi's canoe and ended up tipping ours over too, so we were all floating in the water with our upside down canoes. we flipped ours back over but it was really full of water so we couldnt both get in a paddle back to shore, so hannah got in and sat in the middle and i held on to the back and kicked while hannah steered. then of course we learned that brother baumgarten wasnt kidding when he said that there were leeches in the lake. gross.

we went on this huge five mile hike that lasted FOREVER. but i shouldnt complain because i didnt have to go on the fourth year hike! haha! it was like eleven HOURS. but i did get a hugenormous blister that covers the entire bottom of my pinky toe. :(

needless to say, the first thing i did when i got home was take a long,long shower.
