We got back a couple hours ago from Shawnee State Park. It was a lot of fun this weekend. We went to Serpent mound Thursday. I was sad to see that the museum/store weren't open because of lack of funding or some such. I still think the site is cool, but I think my aunt and cousins were disappointed. We got in to the park, and the site we were supposed to have, the literature for it said "Slight slope." Well, it lied. It was pretty much a straight drop, and we had tents to set up. It would have been fine for a camper, but not for tents. So they gave us a different site, which was better for tents, and we were not too far from the lake and a shower house, and a bathroom was right next to our site. After dinner, we got a fire going and played "Do you worship Cthulhu?" which is pretty much like the werewolf game my friends and I played at animepunch. The girls at the campsite next to us joined in, they were between the ages of 7 and 10. It got interesting when one of them tried to run the game...told everyone who the worshiper was. Made my cousin Patrick twitch funny. I laughed really hard. I went hiking and swimming Friday and yesterday, till it decided to rain the rest of the fricken' night. I got a few good pictures while hiking though, and some may end up here. I wish I could have gotten one of the hawk. While hiking with Dad and Brenda Friday, Brenda thought she left her camera on the trail somewhere. Dad was helping her look for it (her camera case had two pockets, go figure). This hawk swooped down, I think if Dad reached up he could have touched it, and neither of them saw it. I thought it was awesome. I just didn't get my camera out quickly enough.

We played a lot of Magic, and played another game called the Great Dalmuti. We were going to do sparklers last night, but couldn't because of the rain. Dad refused to go into Portsmouth to watch fireworks, and after we drove into town Friday after some things we forgot to pack. Alicia, you complain about Findlay drivers, I'd hate to hear you in this town. It was nuts, and everyone seemed really rude.

I went to bed early last night with a headache, and woke up in a puddle. We had to leave a little early. Dad was going to make French toast, but our dining canopy died and he couldn't. It rained all night and the whole time we struck camp. Even so, the trip was a lot of fun. Got some reading done, spent time with my family, did a little rp with my cousin Victoria.

And in two weeks, we do it again, only next time, I'll be decked out in my new garb for SCA. I'm excited for that.
