Vacation at the Lake

Yesterday we got back from our vacation up North. It was so much fun! There was a gorgeous lake up there and we spent most of our time water skiing, jumping off the pier, swimming, and in the boat. Water skiing was a fun, but I'm not very good at at it. I actually got up and was skiing for a bit but then I wiped out. But it was so beautiful in the middle of the lake. There were huge evergreen trees everywhere which were so unbelievably beautiful. We stayed in a big cabin with one of my best friends Maggie. She has a big family and so do we, so there were lots of kids and fun everywhere. We try to post some pictures soon. 

The 8 hour drive was the only bad part about this trip. It was sooooooooooooooo freaking looooooooooonng. So long. Freaking. Long. Eh. 

But the time at the cabin was so wonderful. I learned 2 new card games and played them each twenty million times. Yes, I counted. Maggie also attempted to teach me ping-pong which, sadly, failed terribly on my part. Some people are just not talented in the art of ping-pong. XD

One night we went night swimming in the lake. That was one of the funnest, but also one of the scariest, things ever. After we went swimming in the freezing cold lake, Maggie's big brother freaked us out by telling us creepy stories. Most of you probably know that I am the biggest wimp when it comes to scary stories, so you might guess that I almost lost my mind. Yes I did. And It was 10 o'clock at night. And we were the only ones on the lake. Yeah. It was pretty scary. Also, what makes it even scarier, is that later that night, after we got back to the cabin, a bear came into their back yard. O.o Yeah. Right where we had been. Pretty creepy. 

Anyway, the trip was so fun, and I really miss the beautiful weather there because it was in the high 80s today. It's so gross and humid right now. :( But there's a chance of rain tonight and hopefully that will cool things off.

So now we are back home and hopefully we will be posting more. 

Until then,
