so, colorado.
wednesday: this was the first of my mom's days off, but my sister still had school. so we compromised and my mom and dad and i spent the morning packing and putting stuff in our van and getting all ready to go, then we went and picked up allison at school, and headed west. we drove from about noon until 6:30, then we stopped at our hotel in kearney nebraska, which is always full of yokels. wednesday night was no exception, we had a poolside room and these kids kept throwing golf balls at our door, until i took the situation into my own hands. i waited by the door, and the next time one hit, i ran out and grabbed it and ran back in. then they stopped. then i took my little sister swimming, and realized how out of shape i am. i need to start swimming ... or running ... or biking! yay biking! that's what i'll do. ANYhow, that was wednesday
thursday: we left kearney at 6:30 am, boo getting up early, but yay sleeping on the way there. rob woke me up from my second nap with a cheery phone call while we were in ogallala nebraska, ALMOST colorado, but not quite. and i talked to him briefly, but i was sleepy and don't recall what all was said. i hope nothing was dirty. *teehee* aaaanywho, we get to denver at like... 2ish? or so? i'm not sure, the time difference confused me. and my mom is all sure that she's never ever been to the ryons' house. but i'm really sure she has. but that doesn't matter, we all hang out and play foosball, and darts, and coo at the baby, and then emily gets home with her boyfriend (fiance, i guess) and we eat dinner, and it's very very good, and emily and i hoarded the sweet potato's and somehow emily and me and patrick and reid were all at one end of the table and everyone else was at the other end. and there were like 20 of us, and they were all far away, and we had to shout if we wanted them to pass something. and there was turkey and hamm, and the hamm was supposed to be some super special hamm that katie made, but it was cold! very good, but served cold. and no one warned us. emily and i were both like "AH!" when we took bites. crazy. then, i didn't have any pie. i dont 'know why not, but now i wish i had some pie right now. *sigh* life's hard. THEN we cleaned up and got BACK in the car. and head up to PV (peaceful valley) and that was exciting, because jeanne was the only one who REALLY knew the way by heart, and she kept running yellow lights, and leaving three cars behind who didn't know where they were going. but we all got there eventually. and got to our cabins, and such. and hung out in the hot tub. goodtimes.
friday: david (an uncle) went skiing with beth (an aunt) early in the morning, but beth hurt herself, and skiiing wasn't all that great. i didn't get to go due to my terrible NEW illness, which kicked in full force the first night i spent at PV up in hella altitude. so i got up at like...9 and watched hairspray on teevee, then part of a bond movie, then we went to estes park, which was PACKED with people. an even distribution of tourist and yokels. patrick and i decided that the only thing worse than a yokel was a tourist. (we decided this while planning for a tornado tracking endeavor on thursday... which involved stealing katie's jeep, using utility lights as satellites, stealing various science looking things from various places... and driving around near tornados. it's an excellent plan) SO all i bought in estes was hello kitty stickers, for a dollar. i put one on my phone. then we run away from estes because theres' going to be a parade, and more yokels and tourists are arriving by the second. back at PV i took a loooong nap in front of the fire in rob (an uncle) and sarah's (an aunt) cabin. everyone is like "aren't you hot!?" and i'm like "i'm freezing! *shiver shiver*" but it turned out this was due to a fever... suck. theeeen we played yahtzee. and cards, and then pete (an uncle) came with food! but no ketchup (and we were having taverns, which neeeed ketchup) so i didn't eat much, also due to not being hungry at all (i lost weight while i was gone. noooo appetite.) then we all went swimming, and went to play pool, only there was this gigantic wedding party taking place in the main hall in the lodge, which is where the stairs to the pool table room are. so we were like "well, we'll go the secret back way." and then a waitress type person was like "ah! employees only!" and were were like "we were all employees here at somepoint in time.... and for long periods of time... we're jeanne's relatives!" and she was like "Ah! carry on, carry on." because we tend to be able to do whatever we want. so we played pool, and i scratched on the eight ball. *sniff* then we went back to the cabin and read trivial pursuit questions to eachother until the ryons went back to estes and mi familia went back to our cabin (we were staying at a friend's $300,000 "summer cabin" a ways away. seriously... nicer than ANYone's house i've ever been in.)
saturday: get up at 6, go back to PV to say goodbyes, eat breakfast, get in car, drive until about 11:30. get home, read mail, blog, sleep!
i have a lightboard practical for theatre craft tomorrow.... at like... two something. so i should study for that (technically tomorrow... since today's tech. sunday already....) so, i just need to study that a bit (should be VERY easy, we get to use our notes and all we have to do is set 10 cues.) i need to call abi, and see if there's any possible time we could hang out tomorrow... and i should study various other things (like masterpieces) since classes start.... and finals are soon... and... booo. so. goodnight my loves!
