UPDATE on my life: Summer

Soo, It is almost August. My summer has been pretty boring when I'm not off somewhere out of town. The day I got out of school my sister, brother, dad, and I all got in the car for the long car ride to go visit my relatives. We stayed there for the weekend, visiting my grandparents on both sides of the family, and my great grandmother. My sister asked her a lot of questions about her younger days, like if she participated in marathon dances (which I had thought at the time were people running  a marathon in a dancing fashion. I later found out the next week that marathon dances were people dancing for a very long time as a competition.)

Best Game ever made

When we left my grandparent's, My dad drove to my aunt's house where I stayed for the next week in order to attend my cousin's graduation party. As I am the only one in my family who doesn't have a job, I was the only one who stayed the week. It was fun hanging out with my FIVE cousin's, but I can see where it gets overwhelming. During this week, I realized that young boys cannot paint walls, but can sure make a mess. I also (re)learned how funny accent's are, and that I should buy Ghost Recon (there are four boys, and they have a lot of video games). I also expressed with them that despite their extensive collection of video games, they lack a single Legend of Zelda game. I also learned during this week that Kidz Kuts (a hair cutting place that specializes in children) is a really cool place for young children to get their hair cut. They can play a video game or watch a movie while getting their hair cut so they won't be as antsy. Very smart idea.

So to end that week, my Aunt drove me to a mid-way point so my mom would pick me up there and take me back home. We also dropped one of my cousin's off at his summer camp. My Aunt sends all her children to a month long summer camp every summer, and all I can say is PROPS TO YOU! She deserves a break :)
So Then I get home and have two weeks of chill time, where I truly chill. I do basically nothing (don't hate! It's my summer!) The next week my family and I go south on vacation. We stayed in a very nice wooded cabin high in the mountains. Due to the fact that we went south, it got very hot. and even more humid. Disgustingly humid. I cringe thinking about it. But it was fun none the less. My mom cooked everyday, and we had a full breakfast every morning. We went to a couple of attractions, including an interesting and competitive game of mini golf set in the mountains. Then we went home and that's where I am now.

I bought more string due to the fact that I finished knitting my first scarf (mostly purple, with a few blue and silvery-yellow stripes). This new scarf was suppose to be rainbow but it turned out to have odd looking stripes. Not bad, just odd? Yuppers, that's it. Now let's do some shoutouts!

1st shout-out goes to Jessica, for dealing with my family and me during vacation.

2nd shout out to my lovely parents, for taking me on vacation!

3rd shout out for Carrie-kins, because she dealt with me putting off our HP party. I'm seeing HP7 pt. 2 next week, so don't tell me any spoilers (even though I've red the book)

4th shout-out goes to C, HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY!
