Top of the Park













TOP LEFT: The cranes at Michigan Stadium. TOP RIGHT: I just thought it was funny that one of the flavors was "blue" (yes, yes I KNOW it means blue-raspberry) BOTTOM LEFT: there were these guys holding signs. That one says friendship. There was another one on the other side that said character. BOTTOM RIGHT: That's pretty much the view of Top of the Park.
This post is the re-write of another one, because that one got deleted. This one isn't as good, but whatever. Ok, so I biked there. With Zach and my dad because my mom was already there. It was a nice time to ride bikes; clear sky, not-too-busy streets and just my handlebars and a good time in front of me. We locked our bikes, while some rockabilly/country band was blasting in our ears. We met up with our "church" friends and while my dad talked to him about checking and my interest in hockey, I snapped some pictures. I was so hungry and eventually got my dad to stop talking after a while. My dad and I got burritos and chips, and walked to the grass to sit down. As we left the food place, I spotted Shelby (an old hockey teammate who despised of me) and she gave me her usual sneer. I just walked on by. So we ate. I ate almost all of my burrito, and gave the rest to my mom. Then it started to rain. Just a very slight dropping of drops. A new band got on. They were from Austin, Teh-haus. The singer and guitarist was a lady and she had some good hands. I took a video, just standing right in front of the dancing place. I didn't really care if people were staring at me.There were some guys dancing and stuff. So then I got bored and biked home. It was great. The time of day when you expect a cool breeze, yet your arms feel warmth. I rode on the sidewalks, and thus had to say several "excuse me's/sorry's" to get by some people. It took this group of like 3 college students to finally, finally notice the bike behind them. The advantage of living where we do was that you literally just go straight down a few blocks. So that's what I did. I was thinking about songs I could hum, and I got "Can't Stop" in my mind. I only knew like the first line, so I just hummed the rest. It was awesome. I would make these pained noises after a while, from the pain in my legs, which I hope nobody heard...so then I got home and got on the ol' computer. It was fun.

I'll add the pictures later.
