Camp Woodward

Last weekend I went to a tumbling camp called Woodward West. It was in Tehachapi, about an hour away. Part of my team went and I carpooled with one of my team mates Amanda. The camp had a huge gym full of rod floors, tumble tracks, trampolines, double mini's and more. It's not just a gymnastics camp, it also has an enormous skate park. The cabin I stayed in was pretty nice. It had a heater, outlets and two nice bathrooms with a shower. Our gym stayed in the same cabin as a team from Santa Clarita. We had two sessions that were each two and a half hours.  After each session we would eat our lunch and dinner (not at the same time of course.) A couple  nights I would hang out at the Canteen with some of my friends. We bowled, watched people do kareoke, ate, and played games. On the last night there I went to open gym for an hour and then played foam tag. It was kind of like dodge ball but with pit. I was so happy to miss school on Monday but was sad to leave the camp and all the friends I made there.

Halloween


Yes, I still went out and trick or treated this year. You can't ever get to old. Well this year I dressed up as a fairy because I don't like anything to dark or gory. It was pretty fun. I invited two of my friends (one from tumbling the other from church) and they both brought a whole bunch of other people. It was funny how it worked out. Two witches and two fairies. First we ate hot dogs and very good vegetable soup. Then we went around the neighborhood to trick or treat. When everyone, but me, wanted to go in we did. Of course we traded all the candy we didn't want. After that everyone left besides Rose and her family so we decided to watch the Princess Bride. I wanted to watch a scary movie but I let her pick it out. Well all in all I had a good time.

Talledaga Frights

Monday my family, my friend Julianna and I went to a haunted house called  Talladega  Frights. We had a blast and we were all scared. The actors had really good makeup and would come up like an inch to your face and try to scare you. It worked. In the haunted house there were clowns, dead people, people with chain saws, body bags, a forest with people jumping out at you, a huge black thing that you had to squeeze through, this place where there were flashing lights and it looked like the people were running super fast ( kind of like a video game) etc. My favorites were a bridge that went inside a colorful tunnel that spun around in circles. Once you stepped unto the bridge it felt like the bridge was going to go around in circles with the tunnel but it didn't. I was the first one off and it looked like everyone was holding on for their life. My other favorite room was a black room filled with neon colored polka dots . The actors in that room were wearing the same exact thing as the walls so all of a sudden they would be standing in front of you. In the end we were so slow that the people behind caught up to us.
