My summer has been busy but very fun. I drove combine for a couple weeks and then the fun began. The day after we finished combining we went on a rafting trip. I don't have any pictures cause I didn't want to take the chance of ruining my camera in the water.  About  a week later we went on a three day trip. That was a blast!

Here is all of us except for Larry, Margaret, and Harmony.

Here's our laundry basket of snacks that we took along. We didn't run out, that's for sure.

We rode a tram up a mountain and then at the top we got drinks and fries after looking around at the scenery and "trying" to feed the chipmunks.  Here's me looking out the window in the tram.

 


Isn't he cute!

We stopped at a car show and I don't have pictures of the cars but I do have pictures of this deer that was just walking around. Sometimes it even followed us. We got to pet it and it was so cool.

This is the tower at Half Point that we climbed up. Its really high. (Yes, I know the picture is sideways, but I don't feel like trying to figure out how to turn it the right way.)

Here is the view from Half Point. Later we went on a jet boat ride on that very river and we saw the tower from the river. The jet boat was a blast but I don't have any pictures once again because I didn't want to ruin my camera.

Oh, I can't forget this awesome picture. Me and Harmony wanted to eat some sun chips but the boys wouldn't let us open the bag. Why not? Because it was so cool how the bag of sun chips didn't hardly have any air in it while we were gaining altitude. Finally, when we got down from Half Point, they let us open the bag of sun chips.

I'll leave you with one last picture. This one is especially for Harmony. Her and her man. Isn't that cute.

Well that's about it. I'm done with work and off to have more fun!

For the last the days I've been taking tractor safety. Unfortunately I had to take the class so I can drive combine this summer. So Thursday through Saturday I spent the better part of my day at LBCC either sitting in a boring class or trying to learn how to drive a tractor, combine, or windrower. The combine and windrower were pretty easy cause all they made us do with those was drive them in a big circle. But the tractors were a little different. It wasn't so hard to drive them forwards or backwards, but the hard part was when they put the trailers on. We had to learn to back up a tractor with a trailer.

So on Saturday we had to watch this video that had really gory pictures of accidents that had happened on the farm. They were really gross. I think about three people had to go out and one girl threw up and a bunch of us didn't watch the whole thing. So after that we practiced driving the tractors and then after lunch we started testing. First we did the written test. I wasn't really too worried about it. The instructor said it would be all either true or false or multiple choice. But it was harder than I thought. But thankfully I passed. I was so happy when I went to the white board and saw that my name was nowhere to be found. Cause if my name would have been on the white board that would have meant that I failed. So then it was time to take the driving test. For the test we had to drive the tractor with a trailer through some cones and then back it up straight. I was pretty nervous but I passed. Enough about tractor safety.

Today I'm leaving to go to Winston to teach Bible School with four other girls. I went last year and I had a blast. I think this year will be awesome too!
