This Summer I had many amazing adventures, starting with re- dyeing my hair! I decided I wanted to get more dye so I could show off at camp. I was going to get blue. But then soon it would fade out and look bad, so I just got more blond. It looks really nice. I got blonde bangs and more streaks all around my head. Then came Father's Day soon after. On Father's Day I wasn't able to stay in NYC and worship my dad.
I had to got to Vermont to get ready for camp :( I know this is a little bit late but, happy Father's Day dad! I <3 You! In Vermont I had fun with my grandparents Howie & Judy. I went to see Toy Story 3 with them, which by the was is an awesome movie! I went to a sushi place called YAMA with them, it was good sushi.
Then 2 days before camp I went with my mother to Wall Mart to shop for camp supplies. I got some rugs and lanterns to decorate. And other random things I don't even know why I got them kinda stuff,(lip gloss, toenail clippers, ect.) But I did get something I really was happy about getting. Mancalla! I learned mancalla before camp, with help of my mom and my sister Maggie. It's really fun!
Then the next day BOOM! It was time for camp. To be honest, I was a little bit nervous. But when I got out of that car, it all flew away. I had a great pretty counselor named Kenyon, and to awesome tent mates Ellie and Gecko (Real name Caity) After mom left many people complemented my hair. First when I got to the tent I started to decorate, the tent looked fantastic.
The first 2 full days of camp are my favorite for 1 reason, auditions for the camp play! This year the camp play was (DA DADA DAAAA) Beauty and the Beast! I was really excited to audition. To be honest again, I thought I didn't sound to good for the singing part of the audition. I felt I was off key and cracked. Then The miracle came the cast was picked and I got one of the leads! I got Lefou Gatson's sidekick. Lefou In french means "The Fool" so you know it was a good part. Being a villain is always fun!
Next I had the swimming test, and swimming is my nirvana! So (gasp!) I passed! It wasn't all that hard, swim half a length, float on your back, do dead man's float, tread water for a few minutes, do 4 lengths, put on a life jacket in the water, and then jump into the water.
Me and my tent family had lots of fun over the session. Telling jokes (mostly by me, my best is when I said "When I'm an Anti-Q I want to be in tent A-1." Kenyon "Why?" Me "It's a steak sauce!") mad libs, over nights, canoe breakfasts, learning new things (like the flap of skin on your elbow is called the weinus!)
Over the course of camp I made friends, did archery, did the play, sang my heart out, and made a spectacle of myself, did Horse back riding (which was awesome) But hear comes the sad part. I didn't pass my Robin Hood in Archery. I had to start over! Turns out the lady who taught archery last year had never done archery before. And they changed all the requirements for the ranks. But that's okay I know I will pass my Robin Hood. But then something made me really happy I found out my cousin Lauren, IS GETTING MARRIED! So I just need to say congrats and I'm very happy for you!
Then before I knew it, it was show time! I sang like no tomorrow and did a great job. Everybody said congrats to me Howie, Judy, Maggie, and my parents loved the show!
After camp I stayed an extra week in Vermont and swam, showed dad Toy Story 3, and went to my favorite Asian restaurant KOTO. It's and eat till you practically explode kinda place. Then one of mom's friends Ann came to visit for a day, very nice lady. We took a hike together. Then funny story, I woke up to Judy scream, dying scream! I ran out and all it was that a mouse jumped on her.
Then the day after headed up to Maine. Were I say my loving family of Quints. Lauren, Mary, Suzy, Rob, Tom, Amber, Macy, Mia, Nancy, Ma Kelly, Charlie, Mable, Buster, GiGi, and Trixie. Whew! Lot of people! I spent most of my time at the pond, or camp when I was in Maine. I swam all day. Day in and day out. There even was an island in the middle of the pond. I called It "Eagle Island." Because a family of Eagles lived there. I swan there 3 times, there and back, so 6 times.
But in Maine there is something big, so big everyone goes to it. The Egg Festival! I love it! The first day is the parade, where you go to this 1 street, and floats go by and throw candy on the streets, all the kids (Yes including me.) Run and get the candy. Then later that night the fair. I went on the Swing, Farris wheel, Marry go round, Mary go round car version, and the Dragon ride. I also played 2 games darts and the water game.
I had fun at camp fishing to! I had this Amish costume you see. Suzy gave it to me, and I wore it a lot! And when I fished every time I got something I said "It's the luck of the Amish!" I learned that when you fish do it a dusk when bugs are out and about. You'll get a fish within seconds!
One night in Maine mom, dad, Maggie, and I were coming home from Big Bill's Ice Cream. I got soft serve vanilla with warm butterscotch sauce. YUM! And saw a cat a black one. He rubbed against my leg. Very cute. Then we continued. And saw an orange cat right outside Mary's house. It was a full moon so he was of course going crazy! He ran in the middle of the road to catch a bug and almost got hit by a car! I ran in the street to try and stop the car and thankfully the cat ran off the road. i was very scared that he would get hurt. So it took me a while to go inside.
The next day we spent at Nancy and Kelly's home.We went for a walk on the beach and captured hermit crabs. It was fun. Then we went out to this amazing lobster shack, I had a cheese burger ( I know "Your at a Lobster shack why are you getting a cheese burger!?" After dinner we went to an Ice cream place. I got soft serve carmel ice cream, it was good. After we drove back to their home and finished the night watching Project Runway.
the next day we went home to New York were I started 3 days later my art class. I went to Parson's the same place they film Project Runway!
