San Franscisco!!!!
AH!!
San Franscisco was so freaking awesome!!! So, before I went there, I was thinking "Yay! Maybe I can get a decent tan!" (Or at least stop being an albino) but when we got there, it was REALLY cold! Seriously, we had to buy sweatshirts because we were so cold. And lots of fog. Seriously, like in all my pictures, if they're outside, they will most likely have fog in them. But, anyway, it was really fun.
We went to the beach, the Aquarium of the Bay, Legion of Honor, Chinatown, Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, we took a cruise thing that went under the Golden Gate Bridge and past Alcatraz, we went on the trolley cars, (where I lost my balance and slipped, nearly sitting in some strangers lap)
Oh, and the trip ride there was....interesting. Let's just say I don't like car rental people now. They gave us a Navigator that had the DVD player and speaker stolen, the suspension was broken for a part of our trip so that every little bump you would feel, but times 10. And then we had to get the brakes fixed. And last, but not least, we got a flat tire.
But, other than the car problems, it was great!! We found some cool seashells, and I got an awesomely cute bag from Chinatown!!!
AH!!! San Franscisco is awesome!!!

Lacrosse!!
Ah! Oh my goodness...lacrosse is so fun.
I've been going to this lacrosse camp, and it's been way super fun. I've now learned to cradle, shoot (very poorly) defensive position, picking up ground balls, passing, throwing, catching, and some other fun stuff.
We did these really cool stick tricks today. It was awesome, mainly, because I could actually do some stuff. There was one where you take the stick (with the ball in it) and you throw it above your head while it's twirling, and then you catch it. It's such a fun trick to do. And I've actually done it more than once. It is so freaking awesome it makes me want to scream. And then another one is where you take the stick, and you put it vertical (the head pointing down) and then you spin so that the ball will stay in the head. It is so fun.
And so the conclusion is....
I love lacrosse.
