today. the 5th. Picnic at hanging rock

Yesterday May came over at dinner time and we had dinner and then made a Smilkie and then watched Killers, and a bit of RV: Runaway Vacation.
Then we woke up at 9am the next day (today) but slept till the alarm went off at 9.30am. Then we got ready, had breakfast and left for Hanging rock. We left about 10.50am. Then I listened to music, and then Leeluu and I struggled to watch the pilot of pretty little liars on my teenssy ipod screen. Then we stopped at Wood End at quarter to 12pm. Then we had drinks at a cafe, and continued driving, and watching some more of pretty little liars. Then we got to Hanging rock grounds at 12. 44pm, I know exactly because I was looking at the clock at the time. We had to stop watching pretty little liars. Then Leeluu and I went quickly to the gift shop, and then we went into the weird ahh... like museum type display room. and you wind around and stuff, and then like you go into this room that has the movie playing, and then has statues of the rocks, and then Miranda walking, in mid step, shoe-less and sock-less and then I had and leg winding around a rock, of Irma I think. Then you go on your knees and crawl through this tunnel and come out the other side, with like some more rocks, but then a statue of the teacher searching for the girls, eyes searching blankly off into the distance. Then we came out and waited a little longer, then saw Porsche's car off in the distance, and then we ran after them screaming "Porsche!, Frankie!" and hugging them and then patted Bessy (Porsche's dog)
Then we set up the picnic by the lake. Then we went to the museum thing again, and then went up to the rock. On the walk up we were all excited and like in awe and stuff. And I took heaps of photos. And we walked ahead of all the adults and through the bush and rock. And we went the steps instead of the ramp sorta way, the slope made of cement. So ah then Porsche found this amazing tunnel, and started climbing and Frankie followed, then me, and then Leeluu. Then we climbed up, and it was really awesome, then we went further, and further up. And we climbed around and pretended to be characters from the movie. Porsche was Miranda cos she looked kinda like her and cos she was always walking in front, leading. I was Irma cos I wanted to be found, and also because I was second to Porsche, and was always second climbing, and her like next in line, you know like head girl, then the one under that, then everyone else. Anyway. Then we did some films, one of us slowly walking through an area which we found was the actual place used in the movie, alot was the same, only a little different, so we couldn't really tell if it was in the movie, but this one def was. And then we went right up to the very top, to the summit. Then we, it was so weird, like suddenly we were tired, and wanted to sleep, and relax, and talk spiritually and silly stuff. Then we realised it was just like in the movie, how they were all exploring and excited then they wanted to sleep then they went all weird and the rock called them. Then we sat and just relaxed with Rock Fever (as my dad recalled it) and somehow thought the rocks rugged, large, hard edges were soft and sleep-worthy. Then we realized how long we had been there, and willed ourselves to get up and move back down. We took more pics and videos, then had some more food further along from where we did at the lake. We went into the race course, it's grass so smooth and wondrous so we lay down and then we saw giant long sprinklers and Porsche and I ran through them, dodging the sharp shoots of water.Then we laughed and wished it was on film, and was lightly sprayed with cool water, and we ate a bit. Then Frankie and I ran through them again, not dodging the harsh bullets of h2o and then we walked through along the other side, as there was about 7 or 8 sprinklers in total and they turned around slowly. We were getting pretty wet. Then we went along back the other way, being shocked by a whole lot of the sprinklers turned on us. They had all synchronized their turning until even when we screamed and ran as fast as we could, we were still soaked and followed by the arrows of big water. and then we decided since we were already soaked to the bone, we may as well get wetter. And then we changed and left. I said bye bye to Frankie and Porsche and Leeluu and I finished watching Pretty Little Liars. Then I got home at 7.30 aprox and uploaded pics which will go on here soon.
