Excited, Scared, and Censored

The story that you are about to read is true. The names were changed to protect the innocent. Due to interpreting this as accident or incident, I will be forced to x out incriminating words. Feel free to use your imagination.

On Saturday, xxxxx 17, xxxx, four members of xxxxxx grotto decided to take a through trip to xxxxx cave, located near xxxxxxx. These four were doc, rock, teacher, and cowboy. After obtaining permission from Mr. xxxx, we were on our way. With a quick look at the lower xxxxxx, we knew it should be an easy trip. Upon finding the xxxxxx entrance, ropes were rigged and we began our descent. Pit after pit was dropped until we came to a grinding halt. Houston ,we have a problem.. . . It appeared that our xxx was wrong! Well, maybe only partially incorrect. After a frantic xxxxx we decided the way xxx was the xxx we had just came from. Have you ever heard of a push up trip? You have now! With Lightning speed and agile reflex, rock (now known as monkey-boy) xxxxxxx and xxxxx our way xxx. Just as it seemed things were going our way, we found a xxx that was not xxxxxxxxxx. BIG problem! As things were looking grim, cowboy stepped up to bat. With a quick swoosh, the next xxx xxxxx was lassoed! With shouts of happiness, the next xxx was rigged and we were out of there, only to arrive outdoors to a thunderstorm that we had to hike forever through. With all well and dry at the car, we headed to xxxxxxx for a late night snack that really hit the xxxx.

Yes all this really happened. No #^&*, I was there, it did !
