"High on a Hill with a lonley goat herd..." (Oaks Invitational)

satuday was our first track meet, which was up at Oaks Christian (in Thousand Oaks); nice and far. anyway, we had to be at school at 6:00am and returned around 8:00 -8:30 pm...loooooong day! it was actually more fun than i thought it was going to be though. i ended up running in the 4x100 relay, which i had never done before. i don't know how good i was at it, but i do know that we didn't come in last and i didn't get DQed. and i actually had a lot of fun doing it. it was such an adrenaline rush. high jump didn't go so well and i was really disappointed with myself, but what can ya do? not much when it's over. just try again next time.
after my events were over, i spent the remainder of the day taking pictures, eating and obsessing over will smith. many good conversations were had, including allison asking me if she had a "farm arm", me forgetting what i was going to tell her about a sign that we passed on the freeway about 10 seconds after we passed it (i know it was something about mattresses...), and pretty much everything mr. becksvoort said. he is hilarious!
well, enjoy all the millions of pictures we took to amuse ourselves all day in the hot sun. oh, and by the way, i go so sun burnt! and i put on sun screen 3 times! oh well

we were so bored...we decided to start creepin' around people with cameras and taking their picture candid with us in the back round. it more entertaining than you would think

we tried to get mr. becksvoort, but he was on to us immediately. so, he took the camera to see why we thought it was so fun and this is his candid camera creepy photo. haha! best ever! you can see allison and i in the background, looking quite pale

then mr. bex wanted to take a picture with us...what an awkward angle haha

awww, yay! :)

then i believe we begain suffering from heat stroke and things got crazy...

i'd say this is my "will smith is here" face. will smith was there watching his son. i convinced allison to go with me to find him and then when i saw him standing at the gate i seriously went into hysterics. you don't even understand...i am like obsessed with "the fresh prince of bel air" episodes! i started jumping up and down, calmed down and then went to go stand next to him by the fence. he spoke to me!!! he said something about high jump, since the boys high jump was going on. he wasn't giving out autographs or taking pictures, but he seemed like a really cool guy. i was estatic :D

face off of the century while i watch in the background?

behold, the canvas tent that provides us with protection from the blazing sun

attempt at blue steel???

wow...the one normal picture allison and i take, kamille is stuffing her face with a sandwich...figures

i'm so scared! allison is going to kiss me?

she says i look longing??? i think not!

aw, my face is in her shoulder...weird. i did fall asleep on her shoulder on the bus ride back though. actually i guess, allison watched as i slowly kept falling over getting closer to her and then was wondering if i was going to wake up every time we hit a bump and she nailed me in the face with her shoulder. haha i didn't though until she moved to answer her phone

strange...my face is burrowing into her cheek as kamille is staring at me intently

cute...should i feel uncomfortable that al pal happens to be examining my cheek?

uh?puffer fish to the extreme!

so attractive. people wish they could be us

i thought we were being normal...what a silly thing to assume

to infinity and beyond! as i take out kamille on the way up...

eww...

probably one of the best faces i've ever made! haha

and a normal one to end!

well, what would you have done to keep yourself occupied for 10 hours plus about four hours of travel time???
