daaang!

wow. long time, no post.
well, it's tuesday. cool.

last week was pretty boring. nothing much happened until friday.

on friday, meghan took me to the landmark aviation building for my FLIGHT TO BURMUDA!!! we got there early because everyone kept telling us there was a ton of traffic. but there wasn't so we went to briar creek for a few minutes.

when our (by "our," i mean "mine") plane finally arrived, i got my stuff on, and gave K the cookies i bought at southern seasons. it was great. Dad, K, and k were there, along with K's parents, The Ps, Thomas, Amy, Kay and Sherman.

i got to ride in the jump seat for landing in Burmuda with the pilots. well, they weren't in the jump seat, but the jump seat is in the cockpit. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!! the moon was reflecting off the water and it was gorgeous. Burmuda is so tiny! you could see it all from 500 feet.

we got to the house around 10 pm. we had eaten dinner on the plane (pork tenderloin and veggies. yum!) so we kinda explored around. i saw the whale bones in person for the first time with the moon reflecting off of them. they are so white! and huge! and there are so many of them! i also saw the fort, and Mrs. P showed me the puzzle cabinet and we started working on this puzzle called, "The Christening."

on saturday, we woke up early and had breakfast. Dad, K, k, and i took two wave runners out around 11 to sand dollar beach and found some really cool sand dollars. then we rode them around the bay for a little while. we went back for lunch around 12:45 or so.

after lunch, we snorkled around the dock and scouted out some more bones to dig up. (the main purpose of the trip was to dig up the whale.) after we found some and marked them, we went up to the pool and splashed around, then eventually headed down to the beach and played in the ocean.

for dinner, dad, K, k, and i were alone as everyone else had romantic dinners with their significant others planned. we had some delish steak and potatoes. afterwards, we watched The Incredibles. well, dad and k played and watched, and K and i puzzled.

on sunday, we woke up and got ready for a cruise on Mr. P's big boat. everyone came (except sherman because he doesn't like water), including the man who produced all the old cartoons, like Rudolph and such. we went out to the other side of the island to this steamboat shipwreck and anchored. all of us (except Mr. P) snorkled around for about an hour or so. we had a delish lunch while we started our cruise around the island. Burmuda is so pretty! i have to live there someday.

after we docked, dad and i broke out the third lungs and regulators and started to dig up the bones. i found a great rib and what i'm calling the scapula. we also found three or four other ribs. one broke, so i took a fragment of that home with me. it's currently on my desk. :D

that night, everyone, including the pilots and the flight attendant, came to the house for a lobster dinner. it was AMAZING. the Burmuda lobster season started on september 1st, so this was the first time this year than any of us have had lobster. it was incredible. we all sat around and talked, and watched the moon come up. pure magic.

oh, and we finished the puzzle.

on monday, dad, K, k, and i went out on the beach and built this epic sand castle and played in the waves. seriously, the castle was amazing. it had this huge moat, two tunnels, and some trees. i made this great sea wall from sand towers, seaweed, and a 2x4 that K found in a cave.

after lunch, which consisted of fantastic tomato soup and sandwiches with melted cheese, tomatos, and bacon, we moved some of the bones that we had under the dock into a cave. the dock is right under a cliff, and there was no way we could carry all those bones up and store them before we had to pack.

for take off, i rode in the jump seat again. this time it wasn't as cool because i couldn't see anything except sky.

k and i watched College Road Trip on the flight. it was surprisingly amusing.

i rode in the jump seat for landing at RDU. it was kinda scary because it was raining and the captains kept saying, "you can't see crap!"

and that was the end of my adventure.

oh yes. mom met K for the first time when she was picking me up. it wasn't as awkward as i thought i was going to be.

today (tuesday) was picture day. i'm fairly certain i look like poop, but people kept telling me i looked ok. sure. whatever.

our first field hockey practice was after school, which ROCKED. all the girls are pretty cool and i think we'll have a great team/club.

that's pretty much it...

OH YES. matt has the swine!! so i'm making him a care package.
so pray for his recovery or something like that.

yep.
