Carazay

Mark doing a skateboard handstand while Greg practices being a Bob Barker Beauty. Mark thinks he needs to teach me how to do a handstand while skateboarding. Key word being thinks. I can barely even skateboard as it is.

I'm a loser

On the way to the beach, Mark and I had a bubble gum blowing contest. I lost every round. Horribly. I must admit I completely underestimated his bubble skills.

The Atlantic

My first time seeing the Atlantic Ocean. We swam for a bit, but the water was freezing (plus the salt was burning my razor burn on my legs. tmi? I think so too) We mostly just slept on the beach. It was nice. I have also gotten one step closer to reaching my goal visiting all fifty states. This was my first time in Rhode Island (which isn't even an island at all. That name is misleading)

Not for weak of Stomachs

After spending the day at the beach, we decided to get some grub. We were feeling a little adventurous, so we decided to try some deep fried squid. Mark is about to dig in. Yummay!

And I decided to try a "tuber" or two. Note: it's much better with fresh squeezed lime juice. My stomach decided it didn't want the squid in there though...if ya know what I mean.

Welcome to Aimhi

A picture of our cabin in the woods. The trees were so tall and the floor was nothing but pine needles (and flower petals wherever I went)

Bonnie, Sarah, and Mike playing ping pong in the Lodge.

On our way to Rope Swing Island

woohoo! Oh the adventures awaiting us.

Some chicka. But that shows the dif between the lower more wimply plank, and the one I went off of.

Drop it like it's hot.

I look good right there.

Me going off. It looks like I'm just hanging there, but I was actually swinging out.

And so it begins

Sarah didn't dare go on the lower swing. I told her that if she went of the lower, I'd go off this one. Big mistake. I didn't think she'd actually do it. I always tell her that I keep my word. If I say I'll do something, I do it. Well, she went off, got out of the water and said "You keep your word, remember?" as she handed me the rope. I didn't have much choice. I was the only person at Aimhi who dared do it.
