Hello all! Much has happened since I last wrote. First, a week ago today (July 12th) my uncle Steve got remarried! I helped my new Aunt Sharon set up for the wedding, which was in the backyard of my Steve’s brother (my uncle) Phil and Aunt Joanne. They have a beautiful house right on Lake Winnisquam. It was nice too, because after I was done setting up I jumped into the lake, clothes and all. It was so relaxing and refreshing. The wedding was fun too. I relived my clubbing days in Quito and got jiggy with it on the dance floor. And, I got to watch my grandparents dance together. Man, they are great dancers! My mom said when she was younger they used to go dancing all the time, and it shows. They are in their 70’s, but they are sharp as ever! This was also fun because after a mistake by the DJ had us dancing to Cotton Eyed Joe two times, my cousins and I decided a dunk in the lake is what we needed. It was so refreshing, even if it messed up my hair. It turns out that I got so jiggy with it I was sore the next day. All my muscles ached. This past Weds, my parents and I went to the beach. My grandparents bring their trailer to the state park and camp there, so we had free parking and free lunch courtesy of them. After, I did my favorite thing in the whole world- lay on the beach like a useless bum. I wanted to go boogey boarding, but the lifeguard flag was red, which meant the waves and rip tide were at a dangerous level. I couldn’t even ride the waves, so I basically sat on the sand in the water and got my hair wet, then came out. But, I had fun lying like a bum on the beach. I also went for a long walk from the state park to the boardwalk (probably about a mile one way) to get Blink’s Fried Dough. I don’t know if they are at any other beach, but at Hampton, they have a bright orange sign and two locations, one on each side of the boardwalk. The great thing about Blink’s is that you can have almost anything on the fried dough. I always get mine with chocolate sauce and sprinkles. This is always part of the Blink’s experience. After a long day of lying in the sun being useless, we headed home. I am now very tanned. I haven’t done much since then, just mostly hanging out at home and such. But, I am excited to be returning to Keene in less than a month. Plus, I found out that part of RA training this year will be at a camp in the Berkshires! Sounds like fun! That’s all for now, stick around for my next post, coming soon!
