I've officially started attending BYU! Its been quite the change, some parts good and some parts... not as good... but overall it has definitely been an exciting adventure. My biggest problem is that I don't know whether I'm an Arizona Wildcat or a BYU Cougar. My allegiance has yet to be determined.
In other news, camp was absolutely amazing. My favorite part was getting to drive the speed boats/pull kids on wake boards/water skis. =D It's especially rewarding when they have never been wake boarding before, and you teach them and coach them and they try so hard and then finally on the last day of class they're good enough that they pass off the merit badge. ^_^ So awesome!!!
I did, unfortunately, get pulled over while driving the boat. The scout that I put in charge of the orange flag didn't have it up, so the cop boat decided to come and tell us off, and then did a routine check-up on our equipment. Everyone on waterfront saw me get pulled over, and then they told everyone else, so I got pestered constantly with comments like "Oh hey there, convict" etc etc. But now I can say that I got pulled over while driving a boat before I got pulled over driving a car, so that's pretty cool. =)
After camp, I went on a family vacation up to Washington to visit my grandparents & to explore the cool natural sites, i.e. the temperate rainforest, the Puget Sound, the Pacific Ocean, etc. Because of my ridiculous tan from camp, my grandpa commented that I looked like I walked out of the Polynesian Cultural Center. XD My favorite parts were falling asleep on the beach, planking all over the place, and running through the forest with my brother, pretending like we were fighting bad guys (you know, ducking behind fallen trees, running low, standing up behind trees and aiming around them, making blaster noises, throwing the occasional plasma grenade... that sort of stuff.) Ahh, I love family vacations. =)
