the middle school trip went really well. on the ride up my two girls wouldnt talk at all and all of my attempts at conversation failed miserably so i resorted to letting them control the radio and listened to more pink, avril and riahana than i think people should in one day. when we arrived at cave lazer tag in holland i discoverd my in with the girls, they each had a crush on two of the boys on the trip. during lazer tag i was able to help them get the boys (i think more of the boys got me though, but i did ok at lazer tag) and after that conversation was a lot less awkward. after lazer tag we all went to mcdonalds (the girls were so funny, on the way to mcdonalds they were telling me that we better be headed to mcdonalds and not try to take them somewhere fancy because that would be "gross") and then headed back to the hostel where i got to fall asleep to the sound of them talking about how they can find more ways to spend time with the boys they like. the next morning we woke up ate breakfast at the hostel and headed back into holland (the hostel was on the boarder but was technically germany) for indoor snowboarding. i didnt know indoor snowboarding existed but it does. i was pleasantly supirised to find that even with my bad knee i was able to do everything but the jumps (the impact of a small one made me feel like my leg was going to snap) i was even able to do a few rails which earned me major cool points with the junior high boys. overall the kids had a lot of fun and it was a good bonding with the kids that went, i'm glad it had a quick turn around though because i can only take so much talk about boys.
