Summer was basically awesome. I actually got my own horse. It's been pretty cool, my parents are a little clueless, but no worries. My mom didn't know that I was going to have to feed her everyday....that was a little unsettling. So that thing took up most of the summer, besides a camp that I worked at for a few weeks. Otherwise there were just random crazy days.

Like one, that was so terrible. It was two days before school and so two of my friends and I decided-let's go party it up at kings island. Awesome idea.
We were an hour into the trip and my friends radiator completely died. It started spewing hot liquid and steam, and it was really bad. We hung out by the side of the road for awhile, til a police car came over and tried to help us. He couldn't help us though, because naturally he had his attack dog in the back of his car. Wow. So, some other cop drove us to the nearest exit were we had pancakes at Frish's Big Boy. That almost made it better. But not really.
Then, after a series of calls, we realized that we were supposed to leave the car unlocked and with the keys in it for the towing company, even though the policeman had told us to leave it locked. We had to get back to the car that was on the left shoulder of a north-bound highway, on foot. We started walking and ended up flagging down another cop, who was nice enough yo help us out.
Then we called the parents. They weren't so happy, but my mom was nice enough to come all the way up and take us to kings island. I was really surprised.
But we got to ride four roller coasters. Then as were walking into the water park there was an announcement: "There is a severe storm warning we are receiving now, so the park will be closing momentarily. We will keep you informed."
So three seconds later we were totally soaked and had to run the complete length of the park to the entrance, while it was storming severely.

Basically the worst day ever.
