outdoor sleeping

Okay, so here's what's been going on lately..............

WE GOT A NEW COMPUTER!!! It's really cool. It's got a flat-screen-ish monitor and this nice, new keyboard and our webcam and mic are hooked up on it. It's really nice.

Last weekend, we went to this awesome place! It's in this provincial park. You take all these pathways over bridges and stuff through this canyon-thing and it's so cool! You have to walk under a bunch of fallen trees and there's all these awesome plants that are super healthy from the little stream that runs through the middle. Then, when you get to the end of the path, there's this really big waterfall! It's so cool! It's called Margaret Falls. And there's this hole in the rock behind the waterfall when you can climb up and go in and sit behind the waterfall. We didn't get to go this time but it's only about half an hour away so I think we're going to go again soon.

Last night, I stayed over at Darby's house again. It was so cool! It was kind of cold that night but it wasn't too bad so we slept on their trampoline! We bundled up and got sleeping bags and blankets and stuff and went outside and slept there and just watched the sky. There was a meteor shower so that was awesome! And the moon was INCREDIBLE. We literally watched it rise. It was pretty fast and it was so bright! I woke up at one point in the night and the clouds were all skidded across the sky and then the moon was glowing yellow and it was lighting up the whole sky. It was so cool! Oh! And there were these coyotes! They were calling to each other across the road and stuff and it was really wierd because at one point...they were like, yelling at each other and it sounded like they were laughing like hyenas. Then, one howled really loud and that was all we heard from them all night. At four thirty in the morning though. it started to get brighter and then the STUPID ROOSTER from next door crowed REALLY loud and Darby and I yelled SHUT UP at the same time. It was actually pretty funny. We all want to make that rooster into stew.

What else? Uh... Oh! Build-A-Band went pretty well this week. We didn't have Preston but we did okay without him. We got to practice all three songs and I think we've got them all pretty much down. We still need a bit of work but we're doing better. And there's still no band name.

So...I think that's all I've got to say today. I'll keep you posted and you keep me posted!

Rock on!
