Mom says that I have a lot to report. First was the Family reunion. We went to the Wasatch Academy, which is a school where trouble youth or international teens go for school. There were about 50 kids that we saw there, and it cost $50,000 per kid. Austin, Camille, Dad and I arrived in Utah on Thursday the 17th. It was about 9:00 once we got to Grandma and Grandpa's house. We went to a 10:15 showing of Harry Potter 6. It was pretty bad. Andrew agreed by saying, "I now want a milk shake because that was so bad." Thanks Andrew.
We got to the family reunion the next morning. We pulled up to the campus, walked around, then got into our room. Even and I went to play tennis, and he killed me. He plays, I don't. We came back to find a group hyped up about something. I think we heard the news about 15 times from people in the first minute we came to see what was wrong. Mostly it was from kids under the age of 9. Isaac had broken his arm. He had been climbing on a soccer post when he fell and landed awkwardly on his arm.
We had a cafeteria to eat at, so the moms did not have to make any food. they had pretty good food. I liked the cereal, I ate about 18 bowls of it. 15 of Lucky Charms, 2 of Fruit Loops, one of Captain Crunch.
The next few days were about the same as any Family Reunion. Some activities, screaming kids and a lot of down time. when it was time to go, it was at the perfect time. On to Volleyball camp.
At camp, I was not happy that I could not be on the higher court with Austin. I had a good time. My coach was Kevin Sagers, a backup outside hitter for the BYU cougars. He was really cool. I was a setter, but I did not play as well as I could have. As the week went on, I got better though.
We drove home on Friday and Saturday, and we brought rex with us for EFY. We stayed in the Las Vegas Marriot for a night. I was feeling sick, so it wasn't the best night ever.
At EFY, we went with Rex, Austin, Tommy Murphy, Connor and Stephan McCombs, and Charlie Bollard. I roomed with Charlie. Our counselors were Mike and Alexis. We had 20 other kids in our group, and it was a lot of fun. i had no idea you could feel the spirit that powerfully for that long. I made a lot of friends.
Next was Youth Conference. We went to Camp Okihi on he Kern River just outside of Bakersfield. We arrived to the campsite after we went to the Regean library. We had pizza there and then got to camp and set up. We went to a service project at the river rafting place, but our car did not arrive until they were done.
We went rafting on the river and we decided to go twice. The second time was shorter and more boring. Oh yeah and I made the basketball team.
