You'll never guess where I finally went on Saturday! The zoo! It was the perfect day for it too- scalding temperatures, extreme humidity, and packed crowds for the holiday weekend :P We had a blast!

So, I love the zoo and all, but I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand it lets people see and experience things they otherwise wouldn't be able to, but on the other hand it's depressing seeing all the animals cooped up, it makes me want to jump up and do something about it! Haha Slappy and the Stinkers, anyone?

I've decided I need to quit looking at all the pictures from last year, I'm missing it even more now! Especially when I look at pictures and scheme up plans with Bre for next fall... it's ok though, I just need to get my fill of humidity and the fam, maybe kidnap a few of the minnis and hide them in my closet... I'll take them out when I start missing home. Or become a millionaire and fly home on long weekends, either would work :P

One other item of extreme excitement: Girls camp is in exactly one week. I know. I'm dying inside. I can't stinking wait! I'm going back as a leader this year- I get to be photographer. It's pretty much going to be one of the best weeks of the summer :]

Home is where the Noise is

It's so good to be home!

Honestly, the first thing I think of when home and my family come to mind is Noise. Lots and lots of it. People say they have loud families, but they haven't seen anything, I guarantee. There may only be 7 of us kids running around, but think Cheaper By the Dozen. Contrary to the yelling I sometimes let out, I absolutely love it! Today alone we've had everything from yelling Pink's 'Raise Your Glass' to (I'm ashamed to admit) fighting over a pencil... actually I think there were several pencil's involved, we never seem to have enough of them here, they're like socks. Haha there's always something going on here, it keeps me from getting too lazy. In fact, when it gets to quiet we start getting suspicious, usually the boys are plotting.

Loud as it may be, I'm starting to miss being in school- I need to find myself a project or something. It's only been a week and a half! This is definitely NOT acceptable. I want at least a month of laziness before I shape up, I'm ashamed of myself. So, until next time, I'll be gettin' my lazy on :)
