WEEKEND.

SOOO I was at another cabin this weekend. It was pretty fantastic.
The only downside is that I didn't have any friends with me. There wasn't really room for anyone to come though... and plus there were times when I got to visit with cousins I hadn't seen in a long time that I probably wouldn't have taken advantage of if I'd had friends with me.

I love my cabin. I read. Went fishing. Hung out with this guy named Vince. He had boys my age which he introduced me to and they weren't bad at all.. but I wasn't interested. They were shy and I just didn't care.

Got up there Friday night and went to bed.
Saturday went fishing a lot with Vince and Geoff and Diane. Ate, read and went for walks. Diane had baked cookies!

Sunday I went to Church with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. It was kinda cool, I like the little town. Played with my little cousin Kadence on the way there and slept on the drive back (its about an hours drive into town - left at 8 and got back just before 12).

I ate some more, went fishing again? but didn't catch anything; as usual. Went to help set up for the fishing derby bbq thing with the cousins that I live with (Geoff was the chairman of the fishing derby). Ended up just sitting around with a bunch of adults, listening to their conversation. Floated around on the lake on this blowed up 'relaxation station'. Then actually started setting up for this thing.

Listened to Geoff talk and give out awards. I won a sudoko book and Diane won chairs (which she sold for $50). I ate some more. It was open bar and when I asked, Diane said it was okay if I went up and asked for a cooler. It was funny because she was half encouraging me and half discouraging me ;P I ended up with 3 by the end. They were yummy. I hung out some more with some cousins I hadn't seen in awhile and before I knew it the 'party' was over. There were surprisingly a lot of people around my age, but they were all with friends. If I had had a friend with me maybe I would've gone and mingled or something - at least with the guys - but I was too outnumbered :P
There was this one black guy though that I kept looking at, and he kept smiling back, so if the party was longer I probably could have made a friend. He was cute :)

Went back to my place and snuck a beer :O Chugged it before anyone could find me. Went over and nagged my cousin to go cliff jumping. We did. It was awesome.
Came back and had another beer - with permission (though Geoff didn't know about all the earlier ones). So now we're up to 5. Didn't chug this one, but drank it fairly fast and by this time it was showing.

Went back and hung out... I had been pretty bored but now was enjoying myself quite a bit :P Its funny how alcohol automatically makes things more enjoyable.
The kids wanted me to take them swimming. I did go in the water for a bit, but then the got tired of it.
I met a new 6 month old cousin for the first time! He was ADORABLE.
Eventually, Geoff kept going on about how I was about to pass out and how I should go to bed.. I kept saying I was fine and wasn't near that .. he asked me how I knew.. I shut up :P Apparently I'm not AS much of a loudmouth when I'm drunk anymore. I had a terrible sleep.

Today I woke up early and went for a hike with two of my older cousins. It was a blast! Holy smokes! It was beautiful. We hiked up to old chimney rock, something I've been staring at since I was born. The whole thing took us 6 hours! When I say its a hike, I'm not lying. We were sweating. Personally, I thought it was good bonding time! Both of them aren't actually related to me. They're husbands of my cousins and I've barely spent time with them so I definitely got to know them a little bit better. They were really funny and super nice. My cousins know how to pick 'im ;)
Once we got back, I ate, chatted, looked at the pictures we took, played a game of Candyland, napped, packed up, ate and hit the road. Slept most of the way here (4 hour drive) so I don't feel so bad that its midnight now and I have to work tomorrow morning.

Goodnight world. .. well.. Raven <3 :)
