REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!!!

Summit was SUPERCALAFRAGALISTICEXPIALIDOCIAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We ALL have to go next year! Yep, even you! Session 7, 2008, the Texans are taking over.

We took a lot of ground this year too - *big grin* ;);)
There's no possible way to write two weeks of adventures on a blog.

But...........the big news..........(*drum roll*)..... I CLIMBED PIKES PEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!! 14 miles! 7.5 hours. The most pain I've ever experienced in my ENTIRE life.
Well, now I can say been there, done that, never again. :)

Summit.org - Next year - Every last one of you



My eyes look green.....























Yee-haw!



















Hannah had a very.....emotional 2 weeks....




















Those poor boys are never gonna be able to live this one down




















Graduation night




















You'll have to get JC to give you the scoop on this one :):):)





















What is dinner without some...silliness






















My Texas boys!






















Me and My Texas boys... on top of Pikes Peak (that's why I look so terrible....I felt it)






















Don't worry, we didn't let him drive






















that is MY brother!!!

























Doc

























Robby, you must find a better background for that!
























This background's pretty good!








































I had the FUNNEST small group!






















Study, study, study = A+


























Sleep and Summit don't go together, you've got to grab it whenever you can.....
























That's all folks!

And *why* did collge have to start so early? I wish I could have gone with you! Thanks for the pictures...they're great (my favorites being #7, and #11. Both of them look like they took talent). Way to go on climbing Pike's Peak! I did not make it to the top of Peak 8 when we went hiking this summer...but I *was* sick. And yes, that is a lame excuse. Oh, well. Good for you. :-) I did run a mile yesterday, though. Woop.

I need to get out more.

Love,
Lizzie

PP Was the hardest thing I have ever done! Jason, Joel, and I kept up with the lead staff guy who was truckin!!! We made it from the Summit lobby to the top in 5 1/2 hours. It was horrible, the guy would not slow down. And then when we got to the top, he turns around and starts heading back DOWN!!!!! What a beast!

Great pics, Brooke! #11 looks like some sort of commercial or something. What was he jumping off of? And the second to last one is very cute... :)
How'd y'all like the Texas play?

Anonymous said...

The play was great!!!

Interesting song choice, I like it. But I must say, it does seem to hint at a clash with the theme of the rest of your blog.

The Pookie said...

True... but when you hear it, you can't help but dance or smile or something! It's just....so.. happy!!

I'm never going to finish my homework...that song just broke every shred of concentration I had, if I had any. :-)

Where do you find this stuff?!?

And how did you end up with both picture #11 and a live brother?

Love,
Lizzie

Lizzie, it's only by God's grace and our constant prayers that John is still alive.... you cannot imagine what my nerves have been through.

(Brooke to John: "You have no compassion on my poor nerves!")

I'm terribly sorry for having interrupted your homework.. but I must know... did you find your foot tapping to the beat? :D

Kaylie: I know! I look dwarfish - I love this music too! Can't you just see the little hamster singing?

The problem was I kept visiting your site to hear the song, instead of doing math. Heh. :-)

And here I am again... :-)

You're cute. :)

And your song is awesome, too!

This song has been haunting me ever since you found it!!!! It's a constant tormenter who refuses to allow concentration on anything other than itself!!!

you should drive down, it's not that far, two, three, maybe four hours. It would definately be worth it for the ball.
