Day #97: Qwirkle

August 21, 2011

While my parents and I were in Utah this year we played this game with my aunt and uncle and cousins. It's actually a pretty good one. I recommend it. When we got home my mom bought it. This was the first day we played it at home and introduced it to the rest of our family.

Day #76: Seventeen Hours Home

July 31, 2011

 How do I keep surviving for 17 hours at a time in a car? I have no idea.

Day #75: Zoo

July 30, 2011

Technically this was the last day of camp. But no one sees each other. Pretty much you wake up then just leave and if you happen to see friends in the lobby of your hall or outside you hug them fiercely then proceed to leave. I was already planning on going to the zoo in Salt Lake with my family on this day because I love that zoo more than the one in Seattle. But seeing as how much Emma and I were going to miss each other she came along with us because she conveniently lives in Utah. So the roommate shenanigans continued for just another day:')

I love elephants the most. And Emma the most. So this picture is extremely appropriate.

Day #74: Tonight's the Night

July 29, 2011

Show day! We did well enough on our run through that after lunch we had free time which my friends Cameron and Logan and I used to go to the art museum right by the HFAC. Then we had two shows. This picture is of Emma and I backstage before the first show, I believe. Then we all partied at the Cannon Center. Then Abbey slept over at Emma and my room, but fell asleep long before we did. We ended up staying up until 5:30. GOOD TIMES.

Day #73: Lars the Dino Goose

July 28, 2011

This is Lars, the dino goose. My friend Garrett made him, and proceeded to continue making him until camp ended with entirely tape. Garrett also takes the most awkward pictures. Ever. 

"It's a goose that's actually a dinosaur. It eats humans and poops out zombies."


Theater kids are the best.

Day #72: Writing in Margins

July 27, 2011

We had extra time for lunch on this day, so we went to Cougar Eat, then the BYU bookstore, then to the museum store. I bought this book called Happiness by Mary Ellen Edmunds (who I love) and started reading it backstage that day. I like to write in the margins of my books and take notes. Because that's what cool people do.

Day #70: Captain Crunch

July 25, 2011

It soon became evident that waking up for breakfast and walking to the Cannon Center for it in the morning was completely out of the question. So I began joining waking up later with my roomate, Emma, and other friend, Abbey, and eating cereal or other breakfast foods bought prior to that morning on the walk over to the HFAC.

Day #69: Ducks

July 24, 2011

Sunday was pretty much the only day we had any free time at all. We got to sleep in, then we went to a student ward for sacrament meeting. Then we had free time until a fireside after dinner with Dallyn Bayles, which might I add I was freaking out about. So a bunch of us went out to play in this waterfall by our dorms and take pictures. Then after dinner a group of us sneaked bread out of the Cannon Center and went to feed the ducks:)

Day #66: Maddie!

July 21, 2011

My first friend that I made at theater camp!! Going to see The Hit! NO, TOPAZ, NO!!

Day #65: Chalk

July 20, 2011

So my friend, Cameron, brought sidewalk chalk. Naturally, I was crazy excited to play with it which we did after lunch at the Cannon Center. Little did we know that it is considered vandalism and although they were pretty nice about it made us clean it up. It was a sad experience, but a wonderful story.

Day #64: Mormon Theater Friends

July 19, 2011

Yay for making tons of new friends!

Day #63: Theater Camp!

July 18, 2011

First day of Crazy For You theater camp at BYU!! Pretty much we just auditioned all day, which was stressful. I hate auditioning. My roomate, Emma, said she loves it, though, because it's a like getting to do a personal performance. I think I should develop that mindset..sounds a lot more fun than hating it.

Day #62: Elf

July 17, 2011

Yes, I brought Elf with me to Utah and to theater camp on the off chance that there would be an opportunity to watch it. I wanted to watch it on Sunday, but we played Wii games altogether instead. Still fun.

Day #61: Dinosaurs!

July 16, 2011

So I was crazy excited about the last Harry Potter movie coming out. But I couldn't go to the midnight show because we left for Utah the next day. So when the idea to see it the next day in Utah with my brother came into my head I knew it was a brilliant one. And see Harry Potter we did. Then we walked around and found a neat little garden and walked into the lobby of a dinosaur museum and looked at the ones that we could see for free. Overall, a super effective day.

Day #60: My Castle

July 15, 2011

Making our usual 17ish hour drive to Utah. Ugh. We used to make this trip every summer. There's this cement factory that we pass by that I since I was little thought was a castle. We now call it my castle. And my dad had the song Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds on one of the tapes he'd listen to in the car so the two became my thing and are tied together in my childhood forever. My parents also call my Lucy which is part of the reason why Lucy in the Sky is my song. Here's the evolution of my name in my family: Kaylyn, Lyn, Lynnie, Lynnie Lou, Lucy Lou, and finally Lucy.
