End of the Summer...

Hey everybody! Summer is almost over, and I cannot believe it! It does not seem like our break is pretty much over. Seriously, didn't it just start? Well I hope that everyone has a had a good summer! When I see you I want to hear about all of your great adventurous trips and all your fun activities! I can't believe we( fellow classmates and I) are going to high school in less than a week! I am extremely nervous, but kind of excited too. It will be like a whole new world compared to APA. I wish we could all go to the same high school, because not seeing all of you everyday is going to be difficult and kind of abnormal.
Well, I just got back from Lake Powell a few days ago. I had a blast, except our boat had a few difficulties during the trip, so that hindered us from boating as much each day. We had great weather, but it seems to be a tradition to have a storm each time we go to Powell, so the last night it stormed a little, but it was so hot it cooled us off. The highlight of the trip for me was I landed my first 180! It took a few tries to contain my balance, but after the 3rd or 4th time I finally did it! I was so excited I was screaming while still riding! At Powell we got to see some amazing sun sets. Even when there were clouds, it was still beautiful because it turned the clouds pink. Our family also tubes in Powell, which was a blast! We also stayed up late most of the nights playing poker and other card games, which was fun. Mom and Lyssa started reading Breaking Dawn during the trip, while I finished To Kill a Mockingbird for my English class. Now that I am finished with that, I am trying to finish Eclipse so I can start Breaking Dawn. Well I hope everybody is ready for high school. I guess I am as ready as I will ever be. See ya!!!
