Cat Walk

So 2 weeks ago we had our spring break. it was wonderful!!! Dad went to Florida all week!(not wonderful) So me, mom , jeff, sully, and mitch hung out. On Thursday we went to the Catwalk in New Mexico It was super Fun.
We ate lunch there on one of the picnic tables. (as you can see above) And then started our hike. It was a very easy and not too long or short, but PERFECT! It was really fun. Once we had gone to the finish line, we turned back to go play in the river. While playing in it, Mitchell jumped across the river to a rock. Sully wanted to be over there with him so he tried but slipping on the rock and falling in. Of course, with our luck, the current pulled him under. Then, when he came up, he was dog-paddling like crazy to the nearest rock. Mitch didn't know when would be the right time to jump in to get him. So he just jumped and pulled him to the nearest shore where Jeff pulled sully right out. The water was FREEZING! so sully was shaking like no other, and having no body fat doesn't keep a boy warm! So he took off his shirt and walked the rest of the way! while we were walking, I asked sully, "Was it scary?", "Yes, but I didn't save my hat." Poor sully lost his favorite hat in the river!! poor kid! anyway then we went to Alpine and ate a hearty meal at Bearwallow. where we all had Hamburgers! (except mom had a chicken salad. it was good too) Sully With out his hat! (cold and freezing) (and shirtless) Sully with his hat!

All-State (2nd Day)


Okay, so I got up and went to breakfast at the hotel. Well when I go there, there was one of those waffle makers! (they make the best waffles.) I poured my waffle batter in and went to go get yogurt i came back and waited for 15 minutes! I though Waffles don't take this long!" so I opened the maker and split my waffle in two. Turns out someone turned off the waffle maker while I was getting my yogurt.(So mad) So I had 2 yogurts instead. Then we were off to th races! (or rehearsal for 8 hours) we signed in did all the normal stuff, then we met our director! was he hilarious or what?! He was short, bald, and was drinking a huge cup of coffee. His personality was better though. He made a joke out of everything and really helped me with my singing.He also loved Transformers. Whenever he found a microphone left on, he would run up to it ad say a transformers line!! After rehearsal, we got changed into our performance clothes. Talk about a packed bathroom with make-up, straightness, and hair-spray! SO after i was done we all decided as a group to rehearse our 2 least favorite songs. then it was Show Time.


When we came out on stage you can feel all eyes glued on you (or the choir) it is an amazing feeling. Like your famous or somethin
g. Anyway, we sang: Turtle Dove Go Way' From My Window(all s) Keep your Lamps Fauna Conzona(Italian) When we were done we all said goodbye to our new friends(though i had little) and we left! It was an AMAZING experience and I hope to go again next year. All the of us choir performers became friends. We cried together, we laughed together, and sang together (DUH) but I really really enjoyed it.
