Hello!

H here! still in Utah. ok, lets catch up.

Monday:
we Explored main street.
we did the ropes course at  the same place we saw the skiers on Sunday. it was cool!!! also sort of hard.
we went zipplining- again.
we had dinner with friends- the ones who told us about the place we are staying. went to a wonderful restaurant with them.

Tuesday:
we slept in! yay!!!
we went up a chair lift that the place we are staying at owns.
guess what? we found out that there was a hence that it stormed. EVERY SINGLE DAY WE ARE HERE. in fact, while on the chair lift, the sky was black.

Wednesday:
we went horse back riding- in the MOUNTIANS!  I had so much fun. A's horse was right in front of mine. My horse was Flash, A's was Buddy. they seemed like they were best friends. but Flash was the slowest horse ever! he was just slow. one minute he was there and the next he was far behind.  the only time he went fast was when he could not see Buddy. (we went in a single file line and Buddy was right in front of Flash.) in fact, once, Flash kept stoping for grass and Buddy was so far ahead that Flash count not even see him- so he randomly broke out into a RUN. a RUN!!! Up a hill!!! I was scared, but I was smiling the whole time. The guides said they had never seen Flash go that fast ever. i seriously thought I would fall off!!!  Then, after a few minutes, again Buddy was far ahead. This time, he was so tired from running up that hill that  just galloped. and then he just kept up. Mom got the mule. :)

and today, Thursday, we just went to a store and chilled out a home.

well, since I didn't post for 4 days and I promised i would, I guess I will share a camp story the make up for it.


ok. We were coming back from drama classes, on our way to lunch. That means a half mile walk to lunch. When we first got to the drama building it was sunny, so nobody thought of bringing a rain jacket. We were all STARVING. So we are walking back, and I look up. The sky was BLACK. every where. not a tiny bit of even dark grey in sight. I nudge some kids near me and point up. as soon as we all processed how bad this situation could be, it started raining. just a drizzle. and in the course of about 3 seconds, it is raining so hard we all have to hide in a Fed Ex shed. (since camp was at a college campus, there were little sheds fit for about 2 people so students could sent letters home.) there were about 9 kids and thankfully 3 counselors. the rain was coming in sheets. it was already flooding! the 3 counselors had no idea what to do. So we waited. we were all hungry and here was so little room in the shed that a girl had to stand outside in the rain. the shed was next to a tree. suddenly, there was a very loud sound. it sounded like a drum, but literally a million times louder. my ears were burning, it was so loud. We all realized it was thunder. and since thunder is the sound of lightning, and it was very very very close, we all had to get out of the shed and into a building. the nearest building was about 30 yards away. we had no choice but to run to the doors. We ran so fast we were only outside for about 10 seconds, but everyone was soaked all the way through. now, lunch was halfway over, and we were starving. we tried waiting it out, but we got so hungry we just called the camp director and told them that were were stuck. The director called a counselor who had a van. so in groups of four, we made a mad dash to the van, hopped in, and were driven to the street where the meal building was. I was in group 2 with A, a camp friend and my cabins JCPA. (junior counselor/program assistant) we ended up getting there just in time to get the last of the hot food. good thing, too! It was freezing! When lunch was over, we all got changed into new clothes. It was fine.

ok, my fingers are exhausted. I have to go, bye!!!
