Day 48

Erin and Beth rolled out of bed at, like, 10:30am - which is ridiculous for both of them. (They never sleep past 9:00am, whereas Grosland has been known to sleep until 2:00pm.) Beth ran off to campus for a botany study group; that's code for "a bunch of students walking around, trying to identify every tree they pass by." Erin played Dragon Age - SURPRISE!!

Grosland was still in Springville with her family. She went to the Art City Days parade, where she watched a bunch of marching bands, people on horses, karate academies, roller derby women, fire trucks, and pretty girls on colorful floats. Then she and her family went to the carnival, to feast on the world-famous Art City Day scones.

And whom should she meet in the scone line but Beth and Erin! AND the internationally acclaimed redhead, Miss Aubrey Devereaux. They ate scones and drank limeade and talked about the rules of abbreviation. (For example, you can use the word "Barbecue," or the abbreviation "BBQ," but the shortened word "Bar-B-Q" is completely unacceptable.) Once the limeade was gone and everyone was full of honey buttery goodness, they parted ways again.

BUT Beth joined Grosland and family for fireworks this very night! Greg the Stouthearted was also in attendance. They sat on a wall and watched things explode in a good, American fashion. Then Beth went to her parent's house to spend the night, and Stouthearted Greg generously offered Grosland a ride back to her apartment.

Ooh! AND he offered all three Jareth Chroniclers some delicious Canadian chocolate bars. Thanks, Canadian Greg!
