Six Flags!

Four more days have gone by. One week left without parental units. =/

Saturday and Sunday were full of relaxation and work. On Sunday we played volleyball, went out to eat, and then went home to prepare for Six Flags the next day. I was up past 2. :(

We had a crazy-amazing time at Six Flags. Candace, Leah, Natalia and I went on about nine rides throughout the whole day.  We had to stand in a few super long lines, which actually gave us a great chance to talk and catch up with each other. :)

Natalia and I during lunch (:
During the evening, Leah and I were in line for Panda Express when a random girl came up to us and asked which ride we liked better between Raging Bull or the new X-Flight. We had to say Raging Bull, although X-Flight was a close second. So, if you're going to Great America for the first time, make sure to put Raging Bull on your list of rides to go on before you leave. ;D

The four of us spent the night at Leah's house Monday night. We were SO tired. In fact, I still feel like I need to catch up on sleep from the past few nights. 


All in all, we had a blast. It was super cool to see these people again. :) 

That's all for now!

Why Hello, Summer. :)

My parents left two days ago for California. My dad is delivering stuff for a conference there, and my mom decided to go with him. Know what that means? Thats right. Jenn, Joe and I have the house to ourselves for almost two whole weeks. :)

So far so great. Thursday was the first day. We went to the mall with Sam and Jenny to shop for swim suits (With only 1 1/2 hours to shop....needless to say, we didn't have nearly enough time to find what we were looking for) before heading out to Naperville for some soccer and volleyball.

Floppy hats <3

The next day(Friday) we hit up the Studio Movie Grill in Wheaton with Will, Sam and Grant. Our friend Abby got some tickets for us, so we decided to use them together. It was a super fun experience. :)
Afterwards, we went to Friday Frisbee and then to the Storms' to hang out, as usual. 
Sam and I felt the need to try on some ridiculous hats and take pictures. ;)
Ah, yes. Summer is here. Honestly, there's nowhere I'd rather spend it than right here, at home, with my family and church friends (who are also basically family). Even though the month is almost over, it still feels like summer has just begun. It's flying by so fast. 

Well, two days down, eleven more to go before my parents get back. They'll get back just in time for the 4th of July (which is always *tons* of fun and filled with so many traditions), and then we leave for our annual church camping trip on the 5th. 

Hope you've enjoyed my little update on what's goin' on! :)
