After the first 2 days of Jr. High we went to grandma and grandpa's house in the coniferous forest of the north. Before we left my dad bought a quad but there were some technical difficulties. We weren't the only ones visiting, Mike, Sandra, Daniel, David, Val, Heather, Scott, Dionne, Suzanne and Kirk and their children were all their. The first thing we did was riding on the quads. After that we had a campfire. Some of my uncles left wood on the ground, and the fire was burning it! I said they were MAD! So I ran to the house to warn them of the oncoming Armageddon, but they didn't care. Luckily the area was not burned in a fiery inferno.
The next day we went tubing. Before that I went searching for leeches. I called Thunder Lake, The Leech Breeding Grounds since there were lots of them. When the boat arrived I was the second rider to go on the tube. I went on the single tube and on the first time I went I fell off. You see, a series of waves shook me off balance and caused me to plunge into the lake. The minute my head was above the surface of the water I shouted, "Help! man overboard!!" But I really enjoyed the adrenaline rush.
On the final day in Barrhead we went tubing a second time and I fell off again only this time I flipped. You see, when I was approaching Grayson's tube (we were riding together) my tube flipped and I plunged headfirst into the lake again.
We also did fireworks on one of the days before and I have to say they were really amazing.
Sounds like you had fun at your grandparents house! It is good to have a good relaxing time before you go back to school. I am also happy you were not burned by the inferno fire that could have happened...talk about careless relatives! I enjoy reading your blog Steele you are very funny.
