Jul. 16, 2007 - We're back!!!
Yay! So we finally came back from the 4 hour trip to get back home! So, first off, when we went upstate to my Grandma's house it took us 6 hours! The longest time ever to travel for me! (That I remeber) So when we finally got there we stayed the night just so we could get refreshed and to meet my Unclels, Aunt, and little cousins again. And of course my Grandma! So once we were done over at Grandma's we went to OSP Park. It's a tradition to at least go there once every year. So once we got there we got all settled and got the bikes out of the camper and Mom set up the lights and we got all of the food in the right places (Since it was sorta banged around alot.) we ended up going on a bike ride, now this was just Me, Austin (Older Bro) and Rebecca (Younger Sis). Now the real reason why we went was because the place has a store that sells alot of candy, souviners, food, and ice cream! We couldn't wait to go there again. But it turns out that the original place was shut down for some odd reason! But they moved it to the office where there was alot more room and I guess when people sign in they see all the candy and all so that's another bonus to having it there. So we were really bummed, espically how they've been there for over 5 years! So it was a shock to us. But we found the way to go to the office. THe only problem was that when you went there was the HUGE hill that you have to go over before you get to the office. It has this really big dip before you go on the hill but it's so steep that when you go over it you're on the verge of stopping! So it took us a little while to get used to it, but over all we tackled it, and in the process we got some leg muscle! So I was happy about that, but after the 5 days we were there my legs were worn out from bikeing so much, and to make things worse we had to go up another hill to get to our camp site but it's alot easier to get there than it is to go to the office. But the fun part is going down the hills! So that was a really nice relief when you went down the hill....but anyway, they also had ping-pong, putt-putt, and a swimming area! And since this was all going through the 4th of July they had a story. It was called the "Gurn" Story. It was creepy, and when they went to the lake to do the fireworks they got a guy to dress up and pretend to be the "Gurn" and there were some girls that were screaming out of their minds! It was funny, he even grabbed a guy from the people and threw him in the water pretending to 'drown' him so called, but it didn't look like that to me! But whatever, everyone has their own story. So anyway, when that was over we went back to the camper. And by then it was about the 4th day. My Uncle and Little Cousin came down for 2 days! It was fun, and some of my family came down at one point too! it's always fun to get to see family again. So, when we were laying down for a nap on the 5th day we were interupted by someone rapping on the door. When Mom opened it up it was one of the people from the office saying that we had to leave because some people are waiting to get the spot and we were supposed to be gone this morning! Mom missread the little paper thing that says how long to get to stay and she thought that we were supposed to leave tomorrow but it turns out that it was on the 5th day, and not the 6th. So yeah, we were rushing to get everything all packed up and settled so we could head out! Since they said that people were waiting that very minute to be seated and they were supposed to get that spot. So once we got everything packed up and ready to go (When it's all packed up its all crammed into the camper so there isn't alot of room) the Guy that works there says we can stay until tomorrow because they gave the person another spot. But we decided to go ahead and head down to grandma's. And when we got there we were all happy to have a place to put the camper and for us to sleep. And I'll tell you guys the rest later! I've got to go to bed now! Bye!
