Our STUPID adventure.

Okay, so as you all know from my last post, I went to camp last week FOR a week,
and I said I was going to make a vlog about our time there.
I decided that most of the stuff didn't really matter,
(and I guess you could say it was kind of private).
So, just to give you a story of SOMETHING that happened at camp,
I'll tell you about me, Brenna, and Shelby's RIDONCULOUS adventure.
So we went to camp on a Tuesday, and on Wednesday and Thursday we decided to go on a canoe trip to the public beach, which actually isn't that far from the camp.
And when we went on Wednesday it was actually quite fun.
The water was perfect for canoeing in, with only subtle waves on the way back.
So, after having a fun time at the public beach the first time we went, we decided to do it again the next day.
Not the greatest idea we've ever had.
On Thursday when we went, there were more waves on the way there then there were on our way BACK the day before, and it was actually kind of scary (for me it was, anyways, because I was sitting on the floor- or whatever you want to call it- of the canoe, so every little movement of the boat I felt the most).
So, Brenna and I being the scardy cats of the bunch, we did NOT want to go back in the canoe to get back to camp.
Plus, the waves were only getting worse as the wind got stronger and stronger.
So, after a long while of stressful debating, the three of us decided on what we were to do.
We decided to hide the canoe in the bush (there was barely anyone at the beach, and where from their point of view it looked like we were walking away with it), walk back to the camp, and get Mrs. Sarlo (Brenna and Shelby's mom) to come back to the public beach with the van and put it in the back so we could easily get the canoe back to camp (this idea seemed better than walking back to the camp whilst carrying the heavy canoe over our heads with the chance of seeing the bear and having to run away from a 300 pound bear while carrying a fat boat above us).
So, thinking our idea was a good one, off we went down the gravel road towards Rocklake Christian Campground.
Oh, by the way, I should add that none of us had shoes (Brenna was going to bring some, but Shelby and I persuaded her not to because it would only be more things to worry about if the boat tipped).
So, off we went down the road- which was covered in sharp, hot rocks- with a reoccurring "Ouch!" from all of us.
So we were about half way back to camp when Brenna- who was a little ahead of Shelby and I, stopped dead in her tracks.
With a horrified look, she turned to us and said, "Okay guys, I'm not sure if I'm seeing this right, but I'm almost dead positive that there is bear, right there, sleeping on the rocks..."
So, being the pathetic wimp that I am, said, "I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather canoe back to camp with the chances of tipping,"- We had life jackets, so it was no big deal- "then risk my life to a bear."
So, turning around, with Brenna close behind, we started running as our hurting, burning feet would allow us, with Shelby behind us spazzing.
Yes, she was spazzing.
Why, you may ask?
Because she thought we were being total whoose bags and that it would be easier to just walk the rest of the way to camp.
But there was no way, WHATSOEVER, that I was going to take my chances by walking past a sleeping bear and it possibly wake up.
Whatsoever.
So we were about 5-10 minutes away from where Brenna spotted the bear, when the people who were staying at the cabin at camp drove by and waved.
In my mind I was wishing and praying that they would stop and offer us a ride, but I knew that it probably wasn't going to happen.
Then, about a minute later, we see Mr. Smith, one of the people from the camp committee, driving around the corner on his four wheeler (by the way, he's good friends with the father who was staying in the cabin, which ties into the story in a few minutes).
So he stopped to talk to us, and we told him the whole story.
So after about a minute of thinking, he offered to drive up ahead and ask the people who were staying in the cabin to give us a ride back to camp.
So, gratefully, we quickly accepted his offer and waited.
About a minute later, we see the people from Michigan (A.K.A the cabin people) driving up around the corner.
So, we hopped in the back of the truck and thanked them when we finally arrived at the camp.
So, surprisingly, the rest of the plan went as according, and we ended up uninjured except for hurting feet (mine were bleeding in the end) and the haunting thought that we could've been viciously attacked by a bear :P
So, all in all, we realized that in the end, it's smarter just to suck it up and get back in the canoe and boat back to camp :P
We also decided that we never want to canoe to the public beach again.
Anyways, sorry for this being such a long post, but I hope you enjoyed the story and learned something from this (what you could've possibly learned, I have no idea).
So I'll talk to you all soon and I hope you all have a great week :D
Love, love, love,

It's been a while!

Hey everyone,
Cassidy here! (Who else would this be? I really gotta start rethinking my introductions...)
So I'm really sorry I haven't made a post in a really long time,
I've just been really busy :P
So last Tuesday was my birthday!
EVERYBODY WISH ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. NOW! :P
And also on Tuesday, I went to camp with Brenna and her family for a week :D
It was oodles of fun and I promise that I will make a vlog on my time there A.S.A.P. (I'm too lazy to type it all :P)
on Saturday my mom took me, Brenna, and Shelby out to the mall,
where we spent almost the whole day birthday shopping (well actually, only 'till about 3:30),
and then we went out to Swiss Chalet for lunch :D
Then'
on Monday,
me and my family celebrated my birthday,
considering I was going to camp the next day (my actual birthday) at 9:30 in the morning...
Which doesn't really give us much time to have a birthday dinner and cake :P
Also, if you're wondering why we had to leave for camp at 9:30 in the morning,
it's because the camp they go to is all the way out in Sault Ste. Marie.
So it's a long way from here :P
Anyways,
I once again promise that I will make a vlog on my week at camp as soon as I get the time :D
So anyways,
right now it's a Saturday night and Brenna is sleeping over (she slept over on Friday, also).
It's also pretty late right now, and me, Brenna, and my family all have to get up pretty early for church tomorrow morning.
So maybe I'll call it a night and talk to you all soon :D
Love, love, love-
Cassidy <3
