Sixth Day at Powell

We all went tubing into the main channel today so that the parents could use their phones. I learned that phone companies are evil and design your battery to drain even when it is off simply so you have to recharge it and therefore shorten your battery life. Haeli and Ryan were tubing on two separate tubes and showing off. Ryan went to jump on to Haeli's tube and landed on her elbow. We almost made a trip to the clinic because she couldn't move her elbow.

After deciding just to go back to the boat, everyone else went out again. Eden and Ryan were on one tube and Kenzie and I were on another. Our tubes smashed together and Kenzie and my tube started flipping. We let go causing Eden and Ryan's tube to come on top of ours and Eden to let go. His knee came down on top of my nose. He claims it was an accident but we all know that it was just part of his devious plan of revenge for my impartial judging and the perfect excuse to get out of wake-boarding.

We climbed onto the boat, my nose pouring out blood like a fountain (gross) and determined that we had to go to the clinic. We spent the rest of the day at the visitor's center and clinic. The receptionist and the doctor at the clinic need practice on their poker faces. ( I show them my nose and a huge gasp followed my the words "Oh my, that's broken.") The doctor's office is incredibly over priced. They took twenty minutes to flash a light in my eyes, (which Ms Linda did before I giving me ibuprofen) tell me my nose was broken, ( No duh, it was three times the size it was and bigger that my lollipop) and announce that I couldn't breath out of the right side of my nose. ( I could have told you that.)

After the doctor released me we went over to the visitor's center ( And when I say that what I really mean is I was dragged to the visitor's center to meet the park ranger). We all were given junior ranger badges. We then went to the store and I got a lollipop and Eden got a t-shirt.

After a bumpy ride home in the rain we all just wanted to go to bed.
