Snowboardinng With Cameron

Cameron came over Friday and spent the night. We stayed up until about 12 playing xbox live. In the morning we had to get up at 5:30. It was really hard for me to get up that early even though I woke up earlier for ski bus. We got ready and caught the 6:30 ferry. Me and Cameron fell asleep on the ferry and woke up in Monroe for breakfast. We ate breakfast on the way up to Stevens Pass. Just after Monroe it started to snow pretty hard. They were sanding and plowing the roads on the way up because it was snowing so hard. A car 3 cars behind us did a full 360 and drove into the ditct on the side of the road. When we got up to Stevens Pass me a Cameron both have season passes so we just got on the lift. We the night before it snowed almost 13 inches and while we were there it snowed 8. We moslty rode park but we also did some powder runs to. Me and cameron both got a lot better in park. Especially with rails.

Intimate Conversation Poem

Dear dog,

Dog, remember how we used to cuddle up and watch movies together?
Horror, action and comedies
During the horror movies you used to be trembling on my lap
During the comedies you used to just sit back and relax
If it was a boring movie your eyes would get glassy
Like an ocean?

This is just to say poem

This is just to say
I'm sorry for burning the hay
I didn't mean for the barn to catch
When I saw the sight I thought I was going to retch
The barn was like a giant bonfire
It even burned the pasture and
Chicken wire
It was a massive fire

Riddle

I am natures gold
I don't mold
little insects make me
the insects can sting
the nectar brings
the sweet gold

What am I?
Honey
