Today was a jam packed with a mishmash of adventure and triumph!
Bug catching with my friend Vicky aka Queen of the water Bugs has got to be one of the funnest things to do. Her mother gave us a ride to Brenden's house where we made a strawberry smoothie while waiting for Daniel to come home from P.M.S. Then we head off to the Perc Ponds, which by the way has a much wider variety of insect life than Penetencia. First thing we catch is a ferocious water bug underneath stoner bridge under a huge rock in the middle of the creek. DISGUSTING! those things are the most vile bugs ever created, but a rare find indeed, it only took like ten minutes. While walking down the alleyway we spot a family of ducks, with baby ducklings furiously paddling their flippers to catch up with their mommy. super adorable! haha, we also met Timmy and his friend walking along the path. Procrastinators! Next bug snagged is a Tiger Swallowtail, we stalked and chased it all around the bridge until i finally nab it with a beautiful swing. Score number two. Jeremy brought his friend Edward along, hes a really cool guy. When they were jumping the fence his jean's pocket got caught on the wire, almost ripping his jeans when he jumped down. Wandering in the lost wilderness it really feels as though you are in an exotic land. Passing by a splintered cabinet that was tossed carelessly along the bushes we suggested pretending we came through it into this strange land. Like in Narnia! We even found a coconut lying by the rushes. So, "Endmund" smashed it open with a rock and pulled the hard shell apart. What we found inside was some fresh coconut juice, which we all cautiously sipped. The flesh was quite hard, is what Jeremy noticed. yes, we ate a coconut we found by the creek... We passed by some small caves where the talking beavers and badgers live. Then climbed around the White Witch's lair [ septic drain?] Before the bug foray ended we had found another one of those despicable creature called ferocious water bugs. Lots of people were out catching bugs today like John&kelly, which i think is utterly adorable how theyre best friends for like ever, Ham, Pacada, Charles, BEnz,Tat, and random people...
... Grr! Abraham sucks, he totally engulfed my ice cream cone with his mouth. Ugh... even after promising he'll take only a small bite, "his bite is worth ten human bites".
This fantastic day was wrapped up with a very quick practice and some technique training. So, ill be gone tomorrows as will the rest of the swim team due to finals. Still have to finish up on that childrens book though thats the only homework i have to do. Talent show at seven, i get extra credit for two classes. I would write more but, im kinda worn out, musta walked 3 miles huh Vicks? I HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY NOOOOo Oppa,yip yip.
