15th Birthday Party





This past summer, we had a swim meet on the first weekend of July called Keo Nakama Invitational. It was a two day meet and on Saturday night we went someones house for a potluck/team bonding dinner. Being typical girls, my friends and i love taking pictures and we went outside to take some. We decided to try to make a pyramid. Due to gravity or the acceleration of -9.8 meters per second squared, it was more difficult than we thought. We fell a couple times. When we were falling we were experiencing free fall at the rate of -9.8 meters per second squared, the same as the gravitational force. However, after many trials, we finally mastered the pose. Maybe if we were on a different planet with a gravitational force less than what we have on earth, we would have had an easier time.....
