June 25th: today sonia and i took grandpa to dairy queen! haha he got a cheeseburger and a sundae.  he said his cheeseburger was too hot, so he put ice in it. gross grandpa!! LOL..then tonight i worked at the pool. i had bathroom duty for the first time. enough said.

June 26th: i once again worked at the pool! 9-12. the easiest shift EVER.  then that night was super dumb because i had to go to a lame inservice at 9pm.  it went from 9-10, but me nate and nick hid from our instructers so we didnt have to swim haha.  the whole inservice was just us telling something about each other and eating tootsie rolls. nate took about 50 and made them into a big turd that he was going to throw in the water. That night we all went on the boat.  i got through the gate because some dude let me in, and we all went out into one of the bays. turns out me trying not to get wet was a big waste because we ended up jumping into hoover off the boat anyway. its so wierd because the surface is warm but underneath is freezing.  swimming at night was kind of scary but jumping off the top of the boat was a blast. 

June 27th: (wednesday) today me andrea fancy and colin and racheal all went swimming at emma's dads.  it was cold but we got used to it. the band was invited, but they are "TOO BUSY" anymore.. after swimming we got pizza hut. yea. they all ended up coming over to swim. stiffler got his weekly shower. then we all sat around in the living room and watched family guy and music videos. good day :)

June 28th:  worked 9-12. pft.

June 29th: friday!! today i worked 1-5, i also got out of another inservice..then me, emma, racheal, and andrea all went CAMPING in emmas backyard!! woot. it was a good time, they had cleared out a spot in emma's woods earlier that day so we picked up a tent from emma's aunts, and set it up in the woods it was fantastic.  yea, so we were in a gated community, but it was still pretty beastly.  we even built a campfire out of the sticks they took out to make the clearing! after making smore and eating many hot dogs, we all got in the tent and talked about girl stuff i guess you could say.. i didnt have too much to say though. it was kind of a wierd night. fun nonetheless. oh and i shared a sleeping bag with a daddy long leg that absolutly freaked me out guuuhhhhh!! ew i was so grossed out for some reason. i hate the thought of bugs in the sleeping bag.. yuck.

June 30th: today my Colombian grandpa died. i think at 11 am. anyway. camping continues..we all woke up in the tent to tons of daddy longlegs blah!! then we cleaned up out mess and put the fire out with old bev, then went up to the house and had pancakes and bacon yummm! we also played with emma's ducks and took them for a swim in the baby pool :)  that day consisted of me going home, hanging out, and going back to emma's to meet up with dre and racheal and emma to go to the shooow! we parked on the street, talked to some peeps, and went in. it was  a fun show, but not one of the best. that night i went back to the house and it was like a big family time. we all sat around the living room and talked. a few scene girls showed up but they didnt stay long.. it was a good time.

July 1st: today was brian's grad partyyy! we didnt go to church because my mom was busy cooking for his party to help jane out. we all went over there and hung out for about 4 hours.. sat around outside, ate, saw old friends, played kareoke idol, guitar hero. and ate. it was amazing. that night they had a pool party, but instead i went over to the house and hung out with john. we had a bonfire and talked, and it was just a really good night. i miss him. and im really gonna miss them when they leave!!

July 2nd: monday. work at night, i got to clean the managers office this time though!! but somehow i ended up the last to finish again.. probably because i swept the hallway.. i dont know. i was supposed to hang out with amanda but instead i went home to see my dad who's dad had died on saturday. we talked about his funeral and how beautiful it was. also how his picture was placed on top of the casket, which people loved (they dont do that in colombia i guess) it was a good talkin.

July 3rd. Diana and rosario arrive!! also, i worked and took care of GP's kids for three hours. semi threw fits but we got her calmed down. she also fell out of the pool on her back.. but i calmed her down.. it was a pretty successful time i think. tonight we all went to red white and boom (except mom and sonia) we met up with the hoffman's it was fun! ate their food, and sat by the river. it was cool seeing kayakers, and there was a car out on the river that looked like a boat! oh and i saw john and racheal! that was fun. walking back from the fireworks was fun because the streets were so crowded with people. it was nuts! i sat in traffic for an hour, and decided to be a party pooper and not go camping! hhaha

July 4th: freaking crazy day!! i went to my family's party at gabriels neighbors house in the hills.  it was a blast. they are all latin, so the latin music was blasting like mad.  they also had amazing food and homemade guacamole! YUM! we all watched the fireworks from thier amazing backyard which is on a hill.. so we had perfect view! afterwards, i left and hung out at the house for a bit. we had a bonfire and stiffler and matt were being gross as usual. i love those boys.  i think matt tore off his shirt again for no reason.  we had a bonfire. then i left i was mad tired.

July 5th: i worked 9-5.. it was slow because it had rained.. thats how i like it! then the last 45 minutes i spent helping put in lane lines. it was fun!! there was a swim meet but i didnt stay for it.

July 6th: friday! maxwell worked for me!!! we went to the reds game with my dad mom diana and rosario.. we had a good time, the reds won 8-1!! we also had some good laughs about juan carlos falling at the fourth of july! i love cinci reds games. ohman. i also want to go out on a house boat on the river sometime. that would be grand. i slept halfway on the way back, listening to frankies latin mix haha.. im surprised i slept during that..
