Goodbye (Ciao) Party

On Tuesday, I went to my friends house for her goodbye party :[ The reason was sad, but the party was very fun! When we got there we all put on pink leis and sat and talked and ate snacks. And took pictures of course! :]

The blonde one in the pink lei ( sitting on everyone in the second to last picture ) is Ashley, who is the one moving :[

After just hanging out, we waited till everyone else got there and ate and then opened presents! I gave her the best friends necklace I bought on Monday. After the gifts we went swimming! My other friend brought her underwater camera so we took A LOT of pictures at the pool :]

 Double piggyback!

 The stairs... :]

 Doing handstands!

Emma and I.

After, the pool, we went back to her house and had ice cream! We just hung out again :] She also passed around a notebook where we wrote all our information so we can stay in touch!

Here are Ashley and I with our matching necklaces!

Us and our necklaces.
Stupid glaring glasses >:[

I was one of the last girls to leave, so after we finished cleaning up, we gathered the extra leis and wrote "CIAO." In science sometimes, Ashley used to teach me some Spanish words/phrases because I wasn't taking Spanish this year. Our favorites include: lo siento, yo tambien, porque, and even que todo este siempre a tu favor ( sorry, me too, why/becuase and may the odds be ever in your favor). This ( ciao ) has become sort of an inside thing between Ashley and I, because once ( before she told me she was moving ) she told me never to say adios because it means goodbye "forever," and to say ciao instead because it means goodbye "for now." So, thats the background between "ciao!" :]

Ciao for now!
