On Monday we went to the Cavern which was a cave, there was one bat inside (which means we got lucky because they mostly go in the winter time) - it was nice and cold and it was cool to see the still water inside that was over 300 feet deep. They had a gift shop and Lauren and Sam got Rasta bracelets., we told Lauren that you make a wish and once it breaks it will come true. Well she decided to say her wish out loud. “I wish for Vampire!” which is who she calls the guy I like, she has a little crush on him and thinks he is a vampire because he has sharp teeth. It was cute because the bracelet slid off because it’s a little big and she was like where is my wish?! Then my aunt tried explaining that is wasn’t a vampire but it didn’t work and then tried figuring out why she liked him so much and kept talking about him. (she does a lot!) She said it was because I like him and because he is a vampire. It was so cute.
Then after we headed over to Linville Falls which was a half mile hike to a waterfall that was very pretty. It is so peaceful here and the air is nice and cooling. I got some good pictures.
Today we went horseback riding, we actually just got back. My horse kept trying to bite me because I wasn’t allowed to let her eat the grass. She got mad at me but it was fun because she wasn’t that slow and it felt cool being on a horse again. We also mined there in a cave and I got some cool shaped rocks (one looks like a heart).
Tomorrow we get to go white water rafting, I’m looking forward to that. It will probably feel good here in the heat. Then I think on Thursday were going to Grandfather Mountain which is like a very popular hike but also has a zoo and amusement park which I find pretty amazing!
The cabin were staying in is so cool, Sam and I have the whole bottom floor to ourselves, we get bad service though because its like a basement kind of and half underground. The place is nice and roomy and were on our own private road onto of a mountain, next to a river!
Sam and I have been having crazy moments at night, we even had a bug incident in our room that made us crack up afterwards. We can get a little crazy but its nothing bad. Last night we were planning on going to bed early though because we had to wake up at 8 a.m., well we ended up going to sleep at 3 a.m. but it was worth it because we had like a 2 hour talk about God and I got to share my testimony with her and tell her about my faith and hear her side of it. I am going to try and bring her to my church some day soon, when we get back. I even prayed with her which was cool because I don’t normally pray with anyone except my one friend.
Speaking of him, we haven’t really talked this trip, which is good I guess but I do miss him and when Sam talks to her BF, it makes me want someone to talk to and I cant. The service problem here helps though because it blocks me from talking to him as much which is keeping the break with us. I just hope he is missing me too, I want to be missed, but I don’t think I’m a person that anyone will miss. Oh well.
Another cool moment I had here was I got to see fireflies for the first time. It was cool but I was scared to catch them when I did I scream and let go! They also have a hot tub and Sam and I went in it yesterday and joked around with pictures. The night before the family was all there and we had a talk about faith and evolution which was interesting for me to be a part of and experience. I have been slacking on my reading here but I try and read a chapter in Matthew every night and pray before bed and in the morning, I just hope I’m being sincere and not trying to get it over with like before.
That’s all for now, probably wont write till im home but maybe when we stay at a hotel Saturday ngiht on our way home, we’ll see… be home Sunday!
