NIAGARA FALLS WAS GREAT! It was absolutely amazing. There were rainbows and bright blue sky...

It took 13 hours to get there.

Here are some pictures I took on the way there.

FASA was AWESOME! WONDERFUL! GREAT! FANTASTIC! ENTERTAINING!  COLORFUL! LOOSE! STRESSFUL! I'M JUST COMING UP WITH ADJECTIVES!  On the trip there, Taylor, Jessica, and I were in one car and Tallulah, Martha, Helen, and Hailey were in the other. *We went there together * We went through **some of** the Appalachian Mountains, it was so cool! We were in the clouds at one point.

    When we got there, before we got into the dorm, ***it was on a college campus*** we got a schedule and just some other papers that were needed. Then, we got into our dorm... wow. It was... special. Yes, very special. It was nasty. There were four bedrooms. Each one had two beds and a desk in it. The carpet was stained (a LOT) and the bathroom had two showers, only covered by some curtains, and two toilets (in stalls, of course). We had to make a sign on the door that said, "IN USE, occupado, no entreare" or however you spell that in Spanish. But, enough going on about the bathroom.

    The campus was really nice, and pretty. This is my favourite picture of one of the buildings.

Dad, Hailey, and I just got back from a park. We were fishing, well, attempting to. It was just so hot! Our boat was so slow, too.  So, we had to start paddling. Eventually, Hailey thought that her hook got caught on a post in the water, but, she actually got a catfish. It was too small to eat.  So, we let it go. No one else got a fish so, Hailey won. Then, we left, and had hot dogs for lunch.  Now we're home, in the nice, cool house, and now I'm not hot anymore.

But...

I'm getting over a cold, I'm still sniffley, though. And my ear is hurting. Because of my earing, and INside it.  Ick.

Taylor just finished reading,

THE TWO TOWERS! YIPSEE FOR TAYLEE!
