We Were On A Boat

Pineview Retreat: 2011

After hiking through a field and someone's backyard these dozen or so girls waited for an hour on a log for the boat to pick them up, just to avoid paying the entrance fee.

We had a good time until we got in trouble for:

1.  Being in a no-boat zone.

2.  Having 11 girls on a 8 passenger boat.

3.  Not having proof of insurance.

4.  Not having enough life jackets.

5.  Not having registration on the side of the boat.

6.  Probably more, we just had no idea.

3 girls had to drive away with the sheriff who let us off with a verbal warning, not even a pink slip, we're so charming.

We were good to go.

Until we ran out of gas in the middle of the lake and had to be towed.

We finally made it to Meg's cabin and took sparkler pictures on Brynn's camera.  This one is particularly hilarious for some reason.

Saturday we all made it to the beach, FINALLY.

While picking the girls up from the log I received this bruise, pictures don't do justice.

FINALLY spent some time with my fedora q-ing eskimo sister after a long separation of her being home in L.A.

Then I planked on the tube, everyone just about had a heart attack.

And we ended the amazing weekend with the Fireball, the greatest roller-coaster ever.

on this very first night as officers:

1. we had a port-a-party with phi.
2. someone took their party over towards a lady's car who was watching us.
3. the lady (from california) was so frightened and "appalled" that people danced in parking lots.
4. she wanted to sue everyone. for no reason.
5. apparently people were taking pictures of her car.
6. she had to see the cameras to make sure there were no pictures with her car in them.
7. she ended up taking someones number about the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. and is going to visit temple square. she just moved here because she had a feeling to.
8. success.

sooooo last night was a big deal in xi. jessie got released as president. i made her laugh as she stood in front of everyone. then i got sustained as president. and she made me laugh while i stood at the front. awesome, not embarrassing. i'm excited though! i love xi, i'm so happy i get to work closely with our advisor vicki for one more year--especially because it's her last!

if anyone who creeeeeeps on this blog is around the 801...you need to join an lds sorority at the u. they're so amazing and you meet awesome people and have fun times. you don't need to be a student. but you need to enroll in institute, but you should anyway so you can find your ec(duh). you just....can't be over 30. that would be weird if you were 30 and wanting to spend your time with recent high school graduates anyway. look at how much FUN we have.
