Ski Resort (Part Two)

Alright..So as you can probably predict, I'm gonna give you a brief summary of my trip in Wisconsin. I'm not gonna try to waste your time as you sit on your lifeless butts just to read what I did over the past weekend. Haha, I'm just kiddin. Anyways, here we go..So we wake up early as can be..Thanks to Dale and his "dog barking" wake up call. I hear a "woof, woof!" I open my eyes slowly to find a humongous nose with a gigantic pair of nostrils, breathing in my face! It was pretty creepy if you ask me..But wait..It wasn't a dog like you would expect! It was Dale..And his monsterous, dangerous, disasterous, sorry of an excuse of what you would call a nose! Haha, don't tell him I said that! ;) *Smirks and laughs* Let's get serious though. After everyone in the room got a shower, we were just about ready to head out to ski. I'm didn't see if anyone got any breakfast, but I'm sure they did. So we got dressed and left the AmericInn within a few short minutes. Bus ride, blah, blah, blah..We get there..Everyone's excited..Well, not everyone, but most of us, or actually, most of "them" were. I guess I was kind of the outsider on the whole trip, considering I was the "Asian, Mexican, or Black Guy". Oh, and also, I supposely stole someone's wallet, but that's a different story..I'm gettin tired of gettin blamed for what I didn't do..This world is full of racism I tell ya..*Sighs as I think about it and shakes head* But as for the trip..A few of us men went inside the food court to watch the Seattle/Chicago game..I was one of the very few who was actually going against Chicago. I think about 75% of the place was from Illinois so that didn't help matters. After an interception on Grossman's half, I was jumping up and down in excitement, cheering the Seahawks. Maybe I spoke to soon..Right after they stepped up to offense, Matt Hasselbeck threw a pick as well as I quieted down and was silent as well as my brother..Everyone was in our faces, talking trash right back to us. It was quite embarassing if you ask me, but it was actually fun having some playful drama with a church group. Anyways, the Bears ended up winning by a field goal in overtime..It was near the 50 yard line..Pretty much a luck kick..Score was 27-24..I was disappointed, but that wasn't the last of it. Could things be any worst? I was going to find out when we got back from the barnyard. We took off to the worship center to have dinner and spend one last night in worship with the brothers and sisters in Christ. After about 3 and a half hours, we concluded the service with a few extra songs that seemed like they never ended. I would say we sung about 30-40 songs! Well, that's maybe overexaggerating, but at least 15-20. The night was about over as we drove home and a lot of us actually did look for the deer we hit the night before. No one was able to find it, so we're guessing it rotted away already? Anyways..We had about an hour and a half or so to spend for freetime. After seeing the score of the New England/San Diego game, I was actually quite surprised, but had a feeling the Patriots would come away with the "W". Score was 24-21. We actually stayed outside of each other's room, basically in the hallway the whole time as everyone spent the last night there having fun. We all acted crazy, ate, drank, and shared a fun time with each other. Overall, we all had fun I think. After a while, I went outside to the bus and grabbed the memorable, slingshot! Yes! The same slingshot that bruised Dale's arms. So we decided it would be best to take it outside since the people respected us and we didn't want to do anything harsh to them. A few of us went outside and shot snowballs, followed up by little donuts, and finally, apples. Yes, apples! Those things went flying! They busted up against the boards in the back of the field and as you probably guessed, there wasn't much left. The slingshot did pop me square in the face, right by my eye though. It hurt, made me do a 360 in mid-air and land on my stomach. It hurt..Real bad..The rubber snapped against my face and I felt blind at first..But whatever, I survived, right? Anyways..As we came back in, everyone was already in their rooms..It was time for bed and as all of our guys came back inside, we were asked to help Dale find the church keys to no avail..We didn't find anything..Luckily, he still had the rest of the keys he actually needed. We had a spare church key, so we were good. The night ended with the rest of us guys talking about the lesson we had in worship and basically call it our devotion of the night..We had a good talk and everyone soon grew dreary and doze off to sleep after a few minutes. Day three, finally over..One day left..

(I'm actually going to go right now, once again, I ran out of time because I've got to eat a "very late" dinner. Our pizzas are here! Anyways, I'll finish later. Take care and God Bless!)
