Before we left, my brothers (Dallin and Justin) had an "Operation" to complete. We had a canteloupe in our kitchen that was going bad, so they decided to configure a catapult of sorts and launch it off the deck into our backyard.
In full gear. Those canteloupes sure are dangerous.
The configured catapult. Exercise bands and broom handles.
Unfortunately their first and second attempts did not go as planned. The canteloupe flew right down to the deck the first time. And then didn't even crack when it hit ground the second time.
I have attached a video for your enjoyment of the third and fourth attempts:
After the melon had been successfully destroyed and left for the deer, we got on our way. It's only about an hour drive down the 95 to get to Kings Dominion. Since Aaron invited four friends we had to take two cars. My mom had Sarah and Dallin and their friends, and Darren and I had all the teenagers. It actually wasn't as bad as I had anticipated.
When we got there, Dallin split off with his buddy Matthew, and Aaron went off with all of his friends, leaving me and Darren to tag along with my mom, Sarah and her friend Alyssa.
We did a couple roller coasters, but I quickly found out that I can't really handle them as well as I could when I was younger. Even the swings were a little too much for me. If you can't tell...
After lunch Darren and I decided to just sit with my mom while the younger girls had all the fun on the coasters. Which was fine by me! We did do a couple water rides and then floated the lazy river to end our afternoon. It ended up being a really fun and relaxing day. We didn't even get sunburned!
