Mexico

since i don't have the pictures for anything else right now i'll start with my trip to Mexico with my school. It was soooo fun!!! we had to get up at like 3:45 in the morning and be at the school by 4:30 to load up in 20 person vans and be off by 5:00it was soooo stuffed!!! the drive there was 18 hours long cuz we got lost in san deigo for like 3 of them! it was horrible cuz the air conditioning broke somewhere in Las Vegas and we almost died!!! haha. Anyways when we finally got there (at about midnight) we ate at a taco stand and went to set up camp at a beach! Me, Annette, and Tia were in a tent together and i was so tired that i fell right asleep while they hung out at the beach!!! Before i fell asleep we looked around for a little bit and must i say there are the CREEPIEST BUGS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! Omg! i was kinda freaking out! huge millipides 6 inches long that ooze everywhere, cokcroaches, beetles, scorpians all 5 or 6 inches long!!!! it was so creepy! anyways so the next morning we had to pack up all our stuff, played in the water for a while and headed over to the orphanage. There we put our tents back up and got settled. The rest of the time was just us playing with the orphans it was so fun! they have 17 kids under the age of 5 and only 1 nanny. We also helped paint the girls and boys dorms. The last day we went to ensanada to go shopping. It was so different. People just coming up to you and trying to sell you stuff everywhere. We went to some of the orphanage boys soccer game and also back to a different beach where my foot got totally cut up by something whether crab or glass i don't know cuz i was in the water and jackson got stung by a jellyfish along with other injuries! but it was still so fun! the best part was obviously playing with the kids it was so great! also there was a huge yellow scorpian on my sleeping bag! it was the best expereince and i definitley want to go back!

Anyways so i went to girls camp starting in the end of july and right when i got back i left for Florida with my bff annette the first couple of days we stayed with her grandma in tampa and then we drove to the beach in orlando! that was definitley the best part! we just hung out in the pool, hot tub, sauna, or beach the whole time! we celebrated annettes birthday there. Anyways like 2 days after i got back i left for Mexico with my school! it was sooooooo fun! anyways and then we were supposed to go to Las Vegas but we ended up not going.

Fun day!

River Rafting

On Saturday we went rafting down Provo river. It was me, Annette, My mom, and a bunch of people from her work. Anyways so it supposedly is like easy and relaxing and we were excited to go... So we started and they gave us a little orientation and me and annette started to get nervous cuz theres this bridge and you have to get out before it or else you can be flipped over and sucked in and they'd allreday had 2 accidents earlier that day from people that tried to go under the bridge... Anyways so we started and we didn't have a guide but we thought we'd be okay cuz i mean it was supposed to be like relaxing and not really dangerous and kinda slow. IT was really funny at first cuz our boat raft thing that had like 8 people in it well none of us really knew how to row except like 2 people so we kept like crashing into things! like the trees and bushes and stuff on the side when yr supposed to stay in the middle. So whenever we were about to crash we would all just lay down in the boat thing HAHA! So after we all had some scratches from that we kinda got the hang of it and then... dun dun dun! We saw the bridge and people getting out and it looked really scary but we were finally in the middle so we started rowing but we knew we weren't gonna make it so me and annette and the rest of the girls start freaking out! Um hello the water is deep and we didn't want to flip and be sucked in! Scary scary moment. Anyways so my mom hands me her fone and jumps out cuz she thought that she could hurry and pull the boat to the side. I mean its supposedly CALM! the second she jumps out Annette does too! she's like TRACY!!! AHHH!!! anyways then I jump over the boat cuz i was on the other side and jump in too (it seemed like a good idea at the time!) anyways it was a bad idea. WE were like imediatley were like swept away. It was soooooo scary. We seriously thought we were gonna die! it was going soooo fast there was no way we would have been able to get out! It was so scary! Anyways so we're like screaming our heads off and we go under the bridge and some people from our boat like fall out. Then we are just trying to stay afloat but its still like pushing us really fast. Then I hit like a ton of rocks I'm scraped up :( But finally we get out somehow when it calms down. Anyways then we had to run down the side of the river to catch up with the boat finally we make it and get in. Anyways we're injured and my moms fone is broken when i jumped out i gave it to someone who fell in so it was in the river and now its stupid. Thats why i won't have any pics cuz she has them all on there but i'll try to upload them ASAP. Anyways adventure, near death expereince.... not really relaxing but fun- i guess. Next time i'd rather go with a guide!
