Hawaii: Day One

WARNING: SO MANY PICTURES!!!!!!

Yesterday was my first day in Hawaii for the band trip. Well it wasn't much of a day.My group didn't arrive here until six pm, which is 11pm at home. The jet lag wasn't too terrible, though I really have nothing to compare it to since Yellowstone was just an hour or two behind. We left the high school at five in the morning and rode a charter bus down to the Minneapolis Airport. I was dead asleep on during the bus ride. I was so tired! Instead of sleeping that night I went to a yay-we're-going-to-Hawaii-party. It was a good time.



The airport was something new. The last time I was on a plane I was two, so this was pretty interesting!
Some random airport pictures:



I was tired. Don't judge me.

This made me think of Sergeant Nelson and I found incredibly funny

Sara and I duking it out in checkers

They have Ipads at the airport for use!!


Then came the plane ride. I was so excited because I got window seat! Though I freaked my mom out, when I called her. She told me to call her before we took off and so I did. Well, I was about to hang up when she told me to have fun. I guess she didn't like that I replied with "I will, unless the plane crashes and hung up.

She didn't exactly know I was taking that picture...


And those are my roommates

Did I mention that I hate heights?





















We had a layover at the L.A.X airport, and then we were off to Hawaii! It was a five hour flight and for the last two hours Sara Vienna and I played Spot It.






I found this to be kinda neat



We were so bored



HAWAII!! 
One last look at our plane

Ya, we're still at the airport



That's a pretty sweet tree!




The bus ride to our hotel:






Would you believe the gas prices?!




Right after we got to the hotel we left and walked to dinner. The hotel by the way is open. The entire first floor is just open there's no walls. But you can't get to the other floors unless you have a key. Dinner:

Proof that he wears shorts!

Timberman Triathlon

Okay, this one really is going to be short. I don't really have much to say besides what's about to be said. So....read on! First off do you know what a triathlon is? Or what the Timberman triathlon is? You don't? Let me explain then. A triathlon is where you swim, bike, and run. You're timed in each event and your transition time (how long it takes you to go from one event to the next) also counts against you. The Timberman is a triathlon held in Grand Rapids MN. It has a long course (mile swim, 26.2 mile bike, and a 10K run. But don't quote me on the bike) and a sprint course (1/3 mile swim, 13.1 mile bike, and a 5K run, but don't quote me on the bike again). It's a fun event put on every year and draws a nice crowd of people from every age and fitness level. I did the short course and this is how it went: Swim The swim was by far my worst event. I did it in my sports bra and spandex shorts (last year I did it in normal shorts and nearly lost them!...

Dear Asthma,

I would prefer to tell you this face-to-face, but seeing as you have no face and live within my own body, I see no chance of that happening anytime soon. Therefore it is with an ache in my chest that I write this to you. I am sorry, but we are different places in life. I will always remember the times we had together. I mean, who could forget the times you've had me doubled over, coughing as my lungs attempt to dispel you from my body causing you to become caught and tangled within my throat so I can no longer take in a breath. There's also the times where you, in anger with my lungs for trying to get rid of you, wrap your arms around my chest and squeeze with all your might. Just as you've done today. I would love to keep you here with me, but we really are in separate places in this life. I know, it sounds cliche and yet it rings true. You've changed since we first met. You now want to take the easy way in life. To sit back and watch all the good times ...

Mother's Day

So today is Mother's Day, but my mom just went back to work. (She's been on medical leave because of a stress fracture in her leg. She couldn't wait to get back to work and so on Thursday when she got the go ahead, she got herself scheduled for 12 hour days all weekend. It's like she was never here again.) So instead if the usual breakfast in bed, which she winds up throwing a fit about anyways, I've cleaned the house. That doesn't sound like much, but the boys are such pigs that the house is always nasty. My mom is like OCD, and can't stand it. So coming home to a clean house will be much appreciated. If it stays clean that is. Not even 5 minutes after I finished cleaning the living room/dining room area it was somewhat messy. Squirt had dumped out the entire sock bag all over the living room, there were a pair of dirty shoes on the arm of the couch belonging to my 21 yr old brother Josh who should know better by now and a jacket on the ground. Normally I...
