| My Trip to San Jose I went for a yearbook camp thingy (yes yearbook camp, they have a camp for everything in this world) and we stopped to have fun at an amusement park called Great America there in San Jose, these are some of the pics from Great America. |

| You can't go to an amusement park and not ride the swings, it's just something you have to do. But poor Sandra is afraid of this ride more than any other, and this is my fav...go figure. |

| Another fabulous ride that one mus always ride at LEAST once...espeically if it has an upper lever and a lower level, we rode the upper one of course...but yah, incase you couldn't tell we're riding a Carousel...for those of you that lived sheltered lives its a thing that has a bunch of fake horses that you sit on as it goes around in circles...it's in the movie Merry Poppins. |
 |
| This isn't a must if you go to an amusement park...but it's really fun. You go up really high and then you pull a cord and you pretty much fly...the first fall is really scary, and just hanging up there is freaky. I was the one that had to pull the cord, I almost didn't cuz I was scared being up so high, cuz I have a fear of heights...but I'm always out to defeat my fears, and well I'm not afraid of heights anymore. |

| The picture to the left is right when we were being lifted up...very freaky, but cool. Out of the two hangin there I'm the one on the left, and Sandra is on the right. The picture to the right is as we're still going up...right about then Sandra was swearing and I was laughing at her when she apoligzed for swearin in front of me...it was fun. |
| The picture to the left is during the first fall, the only reason I know this is because our arms are still tucked in, they have to be until we reach this certain spot as we're falling one of the rules or whatever the people told us. The picture to the right is when we finally stopped screaming and started to laugh about it, it was way fun. We got the whole thing on video tape and I have proof that I can scream louder than loud voiced Sandra. |
| Again we were enjoying it and having fun, I was checking out the cuties accross the park while Sandra was posing for the camera. And for those of you that are wondering what that thing towards the left bottom corner that is hanging from me, it's the cord I had to pull... |
| This one was just a random shot I decided to throw on here cuz it gives a close up look of the contraption that we were in. The sun was shining so most of the pics didn't turn out very good, but this one's pretty interesting. |
| This was as we were done and leaving the area and such. I plan on going again for my 17th birthday, only there is one in Reno so I don't have to go to San Jose, and it flys over the freeway instead of a bunch of trees so I think it will be a bit more scary...I dunno. And for those of you that live in Utah and have gone to Lagoon and are thinking "this looks familiar" well this place is a lot like Lagoon. |
| Yes this picture is posed for, but we could have easily slept like that for a while, well maybe not since we were so high off the adrenalin rush from the flying/swing whatever you want to call it deal. But yah, that is all for now, I'll have more pictures and such later once school starts and I can get the rest from my teacher. TTFN Ta ta for now. |
 |
| A rear veiw of myself and Sandra...in the mini van of course. Yes as usual Sandra is munching on food, I think that's an oatmeal cookie, one of my favorite cookies...yum! (note to the stupid: yes I am on the left, Sandra is on the right.) |
 |
| The picture above is very blury I know, but I still think it looks cool. We went on a ride called "Rip Roaring Rapids"...you sit in a circular boat like thing and float around on a wanna be river and you get soaked...I believe at this time I was saying something along the lines of "Today was such a waste of make up!" |
