"camping" w/ the florendos

what a nice day to go camping last weekend.. NOT! the weather was so bad that it made me want to cry. the camping place was like 3 hours away, my bum hurt from sitting for so long. when we got there, it was so friggin cold. i was wearing a sweater and it wasn't enough to keep me warm. the environment made me feel lazy, it was wet and soggy. i wore my new aldo flats and it was a very stupid idea. ok, let me just move on to the highlight of the weekend. me and jon felt like going pedal boating cause obviously there was nothing else to do there.. so we went to the office and got life vests and asked the guy if we can borrow a pedal boat. we got on the pedal boat, it was pretty easy controlling it. we had fun. we got hungry and decided to head back.. we stumbled upon mark and jaymur, we asked them if they wanted to ride the pedal boat and they said sure. all four of us got on the boat. it was around 6pm and the wind pushed us around like it owned the place. the current lead us to the middle of the river, me an jon tried to pedal it out but no dice. the current was controlling the boat. so we were the middle, stuck and couldn't move. we tried yelling for help but we were too far away from the docks, no-one could hear us. we were really stuck, lost hope. we just gave up over all, mark had an idea of swimming to the shore to get some help. so he got off the boat, as soon as his foot touched the slimy bottom of the river, he got scared and jumped back to the boat. we had no other choices, i tried to stay positive and kept paddling. mark found a stick on the river and jaymur used it to move the boat while me and jon were pedaling.. a whole lot of pedaling after and a whole lot of pushing  the boat after, we reached the shore.. we were home free, never felt so good being on dry land.
