*written yesterday and it wouldn’t post*

I’ve been MIA for a bit now because I’m up at Vacation Lane. We go home today since I work tomorrow morning (plus Olympic Trials!), so I decided to write about all of the fun things I’ve done. I’ll probably add in some pictures later once I get back to my laptop.

• Took pictures of gorgeous sunsets every single night
• Caught a bunch of fish. I named them all after people in the new testament. Meet John the Bass Fish (worked out perfectly, I know) 
• Went tubing and killed it, as per usual. I stayed on for around five minutes and never fell off, even with huge waves, wind, and my dad doing everything he could for it to happen. 
• Bought a hammock and spent tons of time in it 
• Went shopping and purchased a sweatshirt and some super secret surprise gifts
• Took some senior pictures for my brother. He wasn’t exactly willing, oh well
• Found a toad who sat on my shoulder (and Abby’s) for a good ten minutes 
• Spent time with the sweetest 12 year old. We played on the equipment that I grew up with  (see saw, merry-go-round, slide), talked a ton, sat in the hammock, watched sunsets, looked at the stars, etc
• Watched the night sky two days in a row. I love how we can see everything since there’s not light like where I live. I saw at least 15 shooting stars
• Studied God’s word, especially while mocking.
• Bandaged my thumb a thousand times. Blech 
• Took lots of photos but not as many in past years
• Slurpees and Wesco popcorn
• Became pro at making Jiffy Pop
• Caught Pokémon bahaha
• Boat rides with laughs, beautiful sights, frigging huge houses, and lots of waves

I was nervous going into vacation, but I really really needed it. Ludington/Vacation Lane is a magical place and always will be.
