AVALANCHE!!!

I thought I might as well tell about my trip with my junior high to Big Bear. It was called Avalanche. When we were going up to Big Bear, we had to put chains on. That took awhile considering Southern California people do not put chains on a lot, and there were issues!! Then, when we got them on, we realized that the trailer we had put all of our suitcases in, had to have chains too! We didn't have enough chains, so the person driving the trailer in the truck had to wait with another car that was part of our group. When we got up there, my junior high leader had to go back down the mountain, and they didn't arrive until hours later. Saturday, (We arrived Friday) we went snowboarding or skiing. I have skied before, but wanted to try snowboarding because my best friend who lives in Colorado loves to snowboard, I though that I would try. I fell a lot, but had fun. We also had a snowball fight, which was TONS of fun!!! It snowed everyday we were there!! The next day, we had a ghetto contest where on this certain street, we had to find the ghetto-est object $10 or under. It was boys against girls. We went into a couple shops, and the first one we went into, I found a postcard for my collection. It had copper coating on it, and showed someone skiing. They didn't have one showing someone snowboarding. :-( Anyway, in this one store, one of my junior high leaders found this "baby gift" that was VERY ghetto. It had fake flowers in this porcelain cradle (that looked ugly) with an ugly baby lamb on top. The old lady who was wrapping it asked if it was a baby gift, and my junior high leader, not wanting to hurt her feeling said "yes". The lady was wrapping it so carefully!! Someone in my group found a belly button brush, and we got that too. Everything equalled $10. We then went to Starbucks. I got a Cafe Mocha. So good!! Then we went back to meet the boys. There ghetto item was just scary!!! It was this old man in his underwear weightlifting. The girls won. Then we went to the candy store. I got fun colored M&Ms, and this flavored honey! It was good!! When we were almost to In-N'-Out (where we were going to eat), I spilled my mocha on my pants! Luckily, I was wearing jeans, and it spilled mostly on the back of my pants. I put a jacket over to hide it. After In-N'-Out, we went back to church. It was a fun weekend!! P.S. If you would like to see pictures from the trip, plese go to whbcrealm.blogspot.com
