Tents, Cedar Point, and Summer Goals

Tents
So I begin with telling you about my previous weekend. Well, I worked all day Saturday and got off around 9:30 PM. Well, I know I was invited to go down and stay with my brother Nate and his wife, but I told them I wasn't sure that I would make, because of how late I had to work. Well, When I got off, I decided I was gonna drive down to their new house and randomly set up a tent in their backyard and camp out. Then when they wake up the next morning and look in their backyard, they would be like, "What the heck is this about?"

So I drive to Fort Wayne and I get there around 11:15 PM and I see that the lights are off, so that means they are in bed, probably watching tv, so I knew that I had to be quiet. I also didn't want to alarm the neighbors. So I grabbed my tent and went to the backyard to set it up. Now, I'm not good with setting up tents and stuff and thats in the day light. Now I had to worry about setting up a tent in the dark. Some howI did it. So I open it up and i throw my sleeping bag in there.

Now, I'm not gonna go into detail about the people that live far back behind them. They are late night people and I really don't know what kind of organization they are, but they had some camp fire going and were all yelling and running around. Me, being the person I am, someone who worries alot, I start to feel a little uncomfortable about all these strange people. So I layed down in the tent, but then thoughts ran through my head, "What if they are wondering who I am and why did I just set up tent to sleep in?" I tried not to let that bother me, but then I started to worry about if my brother sprayed weed killer around the backyard. I didn't want to get sick. Those people started yelling and getting louder. I wanted inside!

So I called my brother's cell phone and I was like, "Nate, can I come inside to sleep?" He was like, "What do you mean?" I'm like, "Look in your backyard." Then he looks and sees the tent and is like, "What in the world?" I start laughing. He comes outside and we start talking. I was asking me how I set it up in the dark. Yeah, I was amazed too! We spent a few minutes outside and then went back inside where I slept on his couch. It was an adventure!

Cedar Point
So yeah, I went on the Cedar Point trip. I said I was gonna go camping, well... I didn't. I was kind of a strange trip. It was fun, but then again, it could have been better and I could have not spent as much as I did. I should have just joined The Simpsons group or something. I chose not to write about the Cedar Point trip. You will have to ask me I guess.

Summer Goals
I guess I have some summer goals to share with you.

  1. To have my blog read by The Derry Prenkert
  2. To be apart of the leadership of Summer Camp for my third year
  3. Kickball?
  4. Shed a few pounds
  5. Maybe to have more of a consistant blogging schedule
  6. Visit Cedar Point, Six Flags Great America, Kings Island and at least one other amusement park. One down, 3 to go

I came here through the link portal on my blog (doesn't that sound very "legend of Zelda"-ish)
