Kangaroo Rats

This morning my brother was watching a show on Animal Plant about Weird Animals. As I was walking down the stairs they were on one about Kangaroo rats. I have never heard about such a thing! I am NOT a fan of that family! They kangaroo rats can jump up to 15 feet. That is incredible! Least they aren't in our part of the world!

Camp

Last week I went to my second year of ccc camp. It was a lot of fun. Sorry on the late post on it. We made a lot of inside jokes with each other. Our favorite part was when we were at the YMCA camp, girls that were about 8 were walking around singing a really sweet version of "I'm a little teapot". So when we got back on campus we sang it in the camper God given Talent Show! On the first day of canoeing there were white caps on the lake and what would have taken 20 minutes to get back from the beach took 2 1/2 hours. That night we didn't eat dinner until 9:30. It was a long night! Since of all the flooding we could not canoe down the river so instead we played some games at the beach. We took a watermelon and covered it in crisco so it was slipper and we threw it around. Then we played sink the canoe! That was a lot of fun! But my favorite thing we did was when we flipped the canoe over to see if "Myth Busters" was correct about if you flip over the canoe you can get underneath it. It is true! You get to see the real color of the water. It is not very pretty. You'd never swim in a lake the same again if you knew what the was color really was! We also did the challenge coarse and that was a lot of fun! That is just a little about my week at camp!

1 Year Anniversary

Today is Top 5's one year anniversary! This blogs intention was that everyone in the our ccc camp group would email me their top 5 things that were happening in their lives so that we could stay in touch. Some of us are still in touch but no one seems to email me their top 5 things. But that is ok!

My closet

I took some pictures of my closet the other day as I was "attempting" to clean my room. I will save that thoughs pictures for this weekend. Lets just say I love my closet. It is so much fun. I put everything in there. I have things from posters to body tatoos that I did not put on a body but instead I put on my wall! Whenever I know someone in the paper I will put it up! I gets pretty mess and not very much time. I have a big closet for the most part but the smaller than everyone elses. Notice how many clothes are on the top rack. Thoughs are all of my shirts that aren't t-shirts or camis. I need to go shopping despritely!

New Look

The other day I got my haircut. I went there thinking I was just going to get a trim. But the lady decided to cut off 3 inches. I like it now but I liked it much better long. There is was just more to do with it then. What suprised me was how much longer it took to straiten my curly hair with shorter hair. I don't know why that would be.


Now switching topics.... There has been major flooding in Des Moines today. It is almost as bad a the flood of 1993 just now we are more prepared! Lookly we don't live in Des Moines and our sump pump is working!
