Day At The Beach

So, I know that this is a few days late, but on Saturday the highschoolers and incoming freshman went to the beach for the day. Holy cow! I had a blast. I caught little sand crab things...dang, was I going crazy. They looked like giant potatoe bugs and were faster than lightning. They'd get washed up with the waves and then when the waves went back, they would dig into the sand, so you had to be really fast and scoop up a handfull of sand where you saw them go and then dig through the sand and find them. It was crazy. And I actually got almost up to my knees in the ocean. Yes, me. I was a bit dissapointed that I couldn't catch the little fish in the river thing. There were a kagillion of them, and I had a few in my hand, but then they would wiggle out before I got a good enough grip to pull them out of the water. Some kid caught one for me with his nifty fish-catching net, but I accidentaly dropped it back into the water. I think he got mad at me, because he wouldn't get me another one, hehe. And then after that I went back to where most of our group was and watched them play beach volleyball. Now that was interesting. I thought Logan and Lacy were going to duke it out right there on the beach...just kidding...kind of :). And while those of us who didn't play watched, I guess Luke's feet were getting hot or something, so he dug this really deep hole, that was about a foot and a half or so wide, for his feet. He would freak out if anyone stepped "past the line" that he drew in the sand. He was worried about the sides caving in or something, but he didn't see Brad throwing handfulls of sand back into the hole while he wasn't watching. But once it was probably three and a half- four feet deep, he got in the hole, on his knees, so it was like almost up to his chest. Everyone was messing around, like pretending to go and push a bunch of sand in the hole and burry him, and then he would freak out. And then there was Brad... while Luke was busy fighting off somebody, Brad goes and pushes the whole pile of dug-up sand back into the hole. Luke lost it. It was pretty funny. He was freaking out because he thought we'd all leave him and stuff, and then he was mad because we couldn't pull him out because the sand was like suctioning to his legs so he's like "Don't pull me out! You'll dislocate my legs!" so he had to dig himself out. Then we went to Burger King for dinner...I think we might have gotten on the nerves of a few other customers there...I don't know why...I mean, we were just 26(I think) teenagers talking, loudly. And then we went to the outlet mall for an hour and walked around, shopped, that kind of stuff. And then we went to another part of the beach and made this REALLY AWESOME bonfire...uhm...nevermind...and so anyway, we all got in a circle and sang some songs and James tried to get us to share some stuff. And then we got back in the buses to go home. We stopped at a McDonalds on the way for a "speedy pee" and while James was gone, Venisa got her Hawk Nelson CD and put it in the player. Heather warned us that James would notice...and he did. He took it out and was like "What's this?" so Venisa told him it was Hawk Nelson and that she really wanted to listen to it. So James is like "Okay, let's take a vote. Raise your hand if you think James cares about the outcome of the stupid vote." Nobody raises their hands, "Okay, now who wants to listen to some other crap?" we all raise our hands. James ignores us and procedes to talk about the origin of the word "crap", so I'm like "Hey James, let's take a vote. Who cares what you're talking about, raise your hand." and so then James is like, "Hey Chelsea, let's take a vote. SHUT UP!" I was laughing my guts out. Overall...great trip. I had WAY too much fun.

Mallory and Jeremy, A Match Made In Heaven

So Mallory and Jeremy's wedding was tonight. It was sooooo beautiful. I loved it. Actually, I cried. They're so perfect for each other. I remember when I was on the "LITE" team in middle school, everyone was always trying to set Mallory up with Jeremy, and they would just kind of laugh at us. Little did they know, we knew what we were doing...haha. The wedding was great though. It involved an impromtu pillow fight from the ring bearers(which was really funny), lots and lots of people, Jeremy giving his golden chain that signified his purity to Mallory, cute little bells on the programs that you were supposed to ring when the couple left, a beautiful song, called The Prayer, that Mallory walked down the isle to, and much much more. They're going to be really happy together. I'm excited for them.

Movie Reviews

Okay, so hopefully this will be a bit better than the last post...

So I was on vacation with my family last week and we saw some pretty good movies. So I'm going to say what I thought of them, and then you all have to tell me what you think of them(if you've seen them...) so I don't feel like an idiot, okay? Awesome...and now I'm talking to myself...so here I go...

Monster-in-Law: I thought it was pretty funny. My mom said that Jane Fonda(the mother) reminded her of somebody she knew. Over-all, I thought it was good...I give it 3 stars

Sahara: This movie ROCKED! I loved it!! Definitely going on my list of favorites. 4 stars

Star Wars: Episode III: Well...I liked what I saw, unfortunately, I fell asleep after Skywalker went bad. My dad was the only one who stayed awake through the whole thing...so I'm not sure what to rate it...

The Interpreter: Very good. A bit of suspense, but not an "on the edge of your seat" movie. I liked it a lot. 3.5 stars

I also saw previews for some movies that looked really good. They were:
Kingdom of Heaven (we almost watched it)
Alexander
Kicking and Screaming
Guess Who
And then my sister and my dad saw Stealth while my mom and I were watching Richard III(which was very good) at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. So my dad said Stealth was pretty good, so now I want to see that too.

The Island

Wow. I just saw a movie called "The Island". It was definitely a nail-biter, on-the-edge-of-your-seat, "dang, that was good" kind of movie. Totally insane movie. It really made me think. It was about...dang...i don't want to ruin it. Uh...well, there goes this post.

Shadows On The Stars

YAY!! Book Two of the Great Tree of Avalon, subtitled Shadows On The Stars, is coming out on October 6!!! I'M SO EXCITED! My only problem now is finding books that can draw me in like those did. Hmm... I guess I'll just have to be satiafied with the books I can find. Bummer :)

Merlin- The Movie

Holy cow! I'm totally excited! I was just at the official website of T.A. Barron, and he says they're making a movie out of the Lost Years of Merlin series!!! You have no idea how excited I am right now...I could explode!
