Weekend Camping Trip

I went on a camping trip over the weekend. It was very fun because they had off road jeep rides and a giant flame thrower. It was awesome. The flame on the fire that was lit was 50 feet high. They also put four gallons of gasoline on the pile of logs. It burned for 12 hours straight. I also started to trade patches with people. Like each council has a patch so I started trading the different councils.

Wedding

My sister's wedding was on the 8th and it was beautiful. They had the ceremony at Heinz Chapel and the reception at the Priory. They are both really old a beautiful buildings. Then they had the guest stay at the Rennaissance Hotel which also very nice. Plus they had old fashioned trolleys as shuttles from the reception to the hotel. Everything went very good. The food was great too. Also the reception was five hours long and by the end people still didn't leave. Also a lot of people stayed at our house before the wedding. At one point we had 15 people and 8 dogs running around until 3 in the morning. It was fun though because my family is kind of wild. I got to do all kinds of crazy things.

Summer Camp and More

I went to summer camp during the end of July. I took four merit badge classes and and finished four of them. I got a partial on the fourth one. Summer camp was fun for the most part other than the fact that it thunder stormed every day and some of the people I had class with weren't the best. It was still fun. After that I started working on the merit badges that I needed for an award. I have to do six and I have three done. Also I went to the movies and saw the newest Harry Potter movie. It was pretty good. Then yesterday me and my aunt went to a huge fifty house yard sale. It was fun and I only spent $15. We saw so many things. I bought a black light bulb, a really nice pen, a basil plant, and I spent $12 on beanie babies that I thought were worth some money and it turns out that they were. Then I had to go out and buy three pairs of shoes because I needed rehearsal dinner, school, and cross country shoes. I also had to get a rehearsal dinner outfit plus regular clothes. I am also going to start redoing my room and bathroom. I already picked everything out and put the money aside. I am going to start after the wedding. Also the wedding is getting closer and and the final touches are making everyone crazier. My sister is getting really stressed out about it. I have been starting herbs and vegetables because I am going to do an indoor garden for winter so I can still have fresh vegetables and herbs all through the winter. Also I have been getting really interested in electric cars. I have been reading all about different ones and checking out new ones and been getting packets of information on them and reading them like a book.
