Midsummer Break
My 5-day break has come and gone and the 16 hour travelling time by car is now over - thank goodness for that!
So we travelled to LA for 8 hours and checked in to our hotel at 3am on Sunday morning! On Sunday, i was up a tad early, something about not being able to sleep past daylight or something and so i got up, did washing and swam in the pool that was empty - it was really nice.
When everyone got up, we all headed to the OC Beach - i was too hot to do anything so i stayed in the car and read my book (thanks Bek - still haven't finished it though!). After a couple of the girls got back, we headed to a salon and had a spa pedicure to relax and heal our beaten about feet from a few weeks worth of camps! It felt really good, Letti got hot pink toes and i got hot green - woot! Looks hot!
That night we had a pizza/pool party which was really nice just to relax by the pool! It wasn't exactly an early night but we had fun - that's the main thing, eh Kendall?!
On the Monday we headed off to Disneyland and had a pretty cool day there. It hasn't changed all that much but being with friends is VERY different to being with family! It was fun because all the Disneyland workers were attracted to big groups and i have to say we stole the limelight everytime! We even won ourselves 'honourary citizens of Disneyland badges'! We all felt hecka special i suppose! We all had a lot of fun! Although that was when i realised i'd left my camera back at camp! So over the 5 days i was back to old-school cameras that i'll have to get printed when i go home or maybe here, not sure yet!
We also crossed between theme parks to California Adventureland - hecka fun! Hecka is a new word i've picked up over here! Sorry!
Tuesday everyone just did their own thing pretty much, we all headed off in different directions. Some people went back to Disneyland, some stayed at the hotel, Megan and Letti went to Megan's grandparents house (i would liked to have gone!) and me and amy went to Six Flags!
BEST THEME PARK EVER - if you like rollercoasters!
It's an extreme theme park, with intensely extreme rollercoasters! Unbelievable! i loved it! Every ride scarier than the next! Oh man the new X2 ride pretty much blew us out of our seats and i've never been on scarier rides in my whole life! Ask me about that when i get home - just ridiculous! We got capes and met batman and robin, one highlight of our day!
Due to our indeciveness we couldn't decide whether we wanted to go or not so we ended up getting there at 5pm but we got on pretty much all the rides and left at 10pm. It was such a good day to go because there were no lines and we just got straight on the rides - sweet as!
Wednesday we drove home but we all stopped in Hollywood on the way. We saw the stars on the footpath and the hand and footprints near the Asian temple thing, it was pretty cool to see Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garlands prints!
Then we trekked back to camp ready to start our 10 day music camp! More about that when it's finished, so far, we're half way through and we finish up on Saturday - gosh i can't believe how much time has gone by just for music camp - it's like two whole weeks - maaaan!
Anyway, we had a lot of fun on the 5-day!!! Good company and good times! Can't wait to develop the photos!

I went into one shop in Adventureland with my badge on and the man at the door asked me what my badge said and i told him, he was like, 'i honour you' hahaha.....weird! On Monday we had a lot of fun with the 'Aussie, Aussie, Aussie' chant although it's kinda been a theme of camp at one point we even heard a neighbouring camp scream it across the lake - proud to be Australian that day! Anyway, back at Disneyland Kelly (the other Aussie) and i spotted a coupla Aussie blokes in the line in front of us - i guess that was comforting!
