Garner Getaway and Mom's 39th

 Man, I am really bad at this whole blogging thing, but to keep up on the past 3 weeks, I'll make it short.

So on Labor Day weekend, we headed to Garner State Park again to actually camp this time. We stayed for three days making meals, hiding in our tents from unexpected rain, and tubing and swimming. In fact, on the last day, Alex and I swam a large portion of The Frio River. I'll have some pictures and videos below.

Here's our campsite!

What a nice sunset

Our campfire pizza rolls

Dinner!

Yes, we brought hammocks

Our very rich dessert

Look how adorable this little frog is!

On the river!

The next two weeks had the start of in-person marching band and regular online school.


Then this last weekend marked my Mom's last year of youth, yup, on September 18th, she became 39 years old. For her birthday we had some homemade cake that Alex made, and she got some bath bombs, some new jewelry, candies, and a little Perler bead version of herself. Happy Birthday, Mom!

We also for the first time in a while went to church, in-person. It was a different unique experience.


Then also I got a plantar wart, so I went to the hospital to get cryosurgery, and I got a massive blister on the side of my foot, which has limited my moving ability, but in time it should get better.

The Weeks of Online School

 Sorry I haven't posted lately, there just hasn't been much going on. Well, let me rephrase that, there has been so much going on, I haven't done anything worthwhile to blog about. But here I am.

So, every day something different happens, instead of an A B schedule, we do a Monday. Wednesday, Friday, then a Tuesday Thursday schedule. So on M, W, F I have 4 one-hour classes, and on Tu, Th, I have 3 one-and-a-half-hour periods, but every day has their own inner depths, so I'll breeze through them.

I get to sit at this desk all day!

On Monday, I have zero hour and 9:30. On Tuesday, I have zero-hour at 9:00, and  marching band from 4-6. On Wednesday, I have a Masterclass at 8:30, zero-hour at 9:30, a lesson with Joe Dixon from 5-6, and a mutual zoom from 7-8. Wednesday is a long day indeed. On Thursday, I have a seminary zoom at 6, zero hour at 9, and marching band from 4-6. And on Friday I have zero-hour at 9:30. And keep in mind I have to do asynchronous seminary every day.

So that's really all that's been going on, but we are doing a camping trip this weekend, so there's somethimg worth reading.
