Day 25 of the RV trip, July 26th

Yes! I'm finally caught up to date on my blog!
Okay so today I slept in to 10:30 that's not really sleeping in, but oh well. I'm always tired. My dad was cleaning like crazy, vacuuming and organizing. I even think he vacuumed out side! We went to the isolated beach one last time, because we are leaving Indigo Bluffs tomorrow. :'( Then we went to Gallagher's for ice cream, ha ha. We also stopped in Empire because my parents wanted to look in a store. Then we came back home because there was a wine tasting at the club house at 5. Don't worry they served non-alcoholic beverages too. We got to say good bye to the people that we made friends with and to the owner, I feel so weird calling them that, I don't know why, like I feel like I'm coming off as stuck up. I'll call him mr. becker. I'm pretty sure that's spelled wrong. Sorry! My parents wanted to run out again so I sat at the pool while they were gone and read a book. When I came home I made a s'more on the fire one last time.
Well now your all caught up.
Tomorrow we will be on the road again, and you know how hilarious that will be for me..... not.
But all in all, so far our trip has really been pretty good.
Shhh don't tell my dad I said that, he might make us take another RV trip somewhere else.... where people might actually know me!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully luck is on our side, night!

Day 24 of the RV trip, July 25th

Today we went to the Grand Traverse City mall, because I wanted to go to Hollister and American Eagle. (all AE jeans are on sale!) They didn't have an abercrombie because it went bankrupt 3 days after Christmas. After the mall we went to Low's for my dad and then we went grocery shopping! Lol.
But I've got to go, Night

Day 23 of the RV trip, July 24th

Okay so I think we went back into Empire today for the art festival, idk. It was a pretty cool festival, and my dad got a really awesome fossil. He also bought my mom 2 heart shaped petoskey pendants. Then he bought this picture, thats made of fabric and is quilted, it's really cool. The only bad thing is that it was so hot, the kind of hot that is just so humid, but with a breeze. I'm sure your thinking "well if there was a breeze then why were you so hot?" Because it was a hot breeze, by the time we got out of there... just never mind. After the art festival we went out to eat at a restraunt. It was really good. When we got back to the RV, my mom told me to go online to abercrombie kids and Hollisterco.com. We were able to order a bunch of clothes from there, since obviously the sale was going on online too. After that I worked on my blog, trying to update everything. As you can see I didn't finish, since it is the 26th and I'm on the 24th.

Day 22 of the RV trip, July 23rd

So today I mostly drew, but my picture was really horrible so I'm never going to show it to anyone. Katie just told me that there is a 50% off sale on red lines at abercrombie and hollister! Grr I need to find a mall! We went back to the isolated beach today, then after we stopped at Gallagher's for ice cream. Yum! I'm so tired, so I'm going to go to bed! Night

Day 21 of the RV trip, July 22nd

Today is Katie's birthday party! Hope it goes well!
Today was another lazy day, I went up to the pool for a while reading books, while my parents went out grocery shopping. It seemed a little weird when there was only an adult in the pool, but then I realized that it was adult swim... after 2 (obnoxious) boys kept asking their dad when they could go in the pool. It wasn't until 2 p.m. that adult swim was over. Then all of the peace and quiet was broken. Evan's family was going back home today, and I really needed another petoskey polishing class. Oh well I'll have to wait until next year. Oh I forgot to mention that we already booked another month June 14th to July 14 on the same lot we are on now, for next summer! That's how much we like it here! But I've got to go!
Tomorrow's another day,

Day 20 of the RV trip, July 21

Today we had a lazy day, I went outside and read a couple books. I got a lot of sun too. When I finished all of my books I went down to the pond and caught some tad poles. Don't worry I made a little enclosure in the pond out of small rocks, but they are smarter than they look, they figured out how to get out. My dad found this really tiny frog like  t h i s__  big on one of our hoses. It was so cute!
To be honest I really can't remember what we did for most of the days, I keep looking at my texts to friends for clues about what we did... I'm pathetic.

Here's some stuff that I remember, but I can't remember exactly what day, but I know that they happened in the next few days, or later on in the week.
Evan, 10 years old, one of the owners' sons, does petoskey polishing classes. He asked me to take one, so I bought a kit for 3 dollars and got a petoskey stone from the RV. It was pretty fun and messy. After that we got on our bikes and went down to the pond to look for more. But really he was trying to, unsuccessfully, catch frogs.
Thats really all, ha ha.

Day 19 of the RV trip, July 20th

Happy 13th birthday Katie W.! (my best friend) I'm sorry I can't make it to your party on the 22nd, I'm sure you'll understand... don't worry you'll still get a gift.
Okay guess what we did today????!!!! We went to the isolated beach again. We just really like it there, ha ha. I found a ton of sea glass and some really pretty stones. Same with my parents. Some days there is a ton of algae in the water, and it's like super gross. When it's high tide it gets all over the beach and you don't really want to go into the water, because it's so gross. I forgot to mention in my previous posts, there are always a couple pair of swans in the water on the beach. It's really pretty because when the suns setting and they are in the water. We got some really good pictures of them. Ha ha, I say that about everything.

Day 18 of the RV trip, July 19th

I'll try not to bore you with the details. We went to the beach again today. Thats really all. Not much to it. I'm starting to get a little homesick but not much. Our trips going to end soon, but for now I'm just enjoying whats left.

Day 17 of the RV trip, July 18th

12:17 a.m. There's a severe thunder storm going on. The sky literally lights up every second, its like someone taking a picture, with flash on, in the middle of a power outage... at midnight. Although I can't really hear any thunder. It's pretty scary so my dad stayed up with me for a while just watching the storm. He said that this is normal, (all the lightning) because we are on a lake and the ground is so flat, so it lights the sky up more. Unlike Pittsburgh where it's not very flat. But I don't live in the city, so I wouldn't know. The storm went on until 3 a.m. then it moved on. It really cooled down, because as many of you know, if you have access to a tv or computer, we are in a heat wave. Along with like 17 other states, but still. We took the dogs to the isolated beach again today, the waves were kinda rough, but it was still pretty. Then we just came home and relaxed.... shocker.
