Vacation

Sorry I have not posted in a while. I have been on vacation from blogging for just a while. As you all SHOULD know, thanksgiving will be here before we know it! The thing is my plans are quite different from yours most likely. You see, my grandparents (All of them) cannot come over until Saturday because of stupid bosses not letting them off for work. So they are all coming Saturday and we are going to do our Thanksgiving festivities then, therefore on real Thanksgiving I will be doing absolutely nothing. So that is just a little update on how things are going to work out here at my house for this holiday. I wish you all the happiest Thanksgiving possible!

So in case you did not already know, this weekend was spent hanging out with my awesome grandpa at lake cherokee. I had lots of fun and a very good weekend! It was very enjoyable especially because my stomach wasn't bothering me so much! This weekend we all had a ball! The whole family was not together though. First I will let y'all know what I did and then I will update you all on how the New York trip went and some of the highlights!

This weekend all started on Thursday afternoon when my grandpa took Meredith and I to the lake house. We fished with Mr. Bob and my grandpa and BELIEVE ME the fish were biting! We would throw the poles out and about two seconds later we would real them in and take the fish off! We were going to keep them to clean and eat but instead we gave those fish to Mr. Bob to 'stock his pond' or basically let them go on his cove on the lake so he would have more the catch later. Then that night I made some easy dinner and we just relaxed! Then the next day we got up on the roof so I could blow the leaves off with a leaf blower. It was oodles and noodles of fun! It was very cold on Friday! I enjoyed the fact I was not at school but Meredith was already getting on my nerves!! Then Saturday it was pretty cold again! My grandpa started to teach me to drive! I was 'a natural' and I was enjoying myself to the max! Then we just did what we normally do (some projects, blew leaves, made lunch for my grandpa, fished, etc) The fish were not really biting the rest of the weekend though. I think we tired them out! Then Saturday night a lady brought her granddaughter over (she is a baby with autism) and we played with her! Despite her circumstances she is such a sweet little girl! We were trying to teach her how to walk but she was not ready yet. By the way, her name is Jacy if you were wondering. Then Sunday it was suddenly very warm! We did the usual. Then Monday some of my grandpa's neighbors granddaughters came in for Thanksgiving for like a little family reuinion or something and they were both girls, my age, my grade, that were cousins. We had a blast hanging out together that evening! Then yesterday we got up at 6:00 am and brought Meredith home. Meghan, Mom, and Dad had arrived home late the night before. The plan was I was spending that night with my grandpa too so we went back to the lake house and I hung out with Avery and Cydney (the girls I was talking about) most of the day. But then my dad called and said he wanted me to come home and see the family so my trip and plan was shortened and I came home. That was my weekend!

Now as for Meghan and Mom and Dad their trip was wonderful! My dad was there at a conference thing the whole time and Meghan and Mom shopped and went sight-seeing the whole time. They went to all the places (Statue of Liberty, Plaza Hotel, China Town, Twin Towers Destruction Area, Etc.) They went to China Town and they illegally bought a purse from a chineise lady. They were there for 8 minutes and it was so bad they had to leave! They had a great time all together though and all of their travels were safe. It was a good sweet 16 gift I think.

Anyways, we all have so far enjoyed our Thanksgiving break and there is still much to come! I appreciate your time for reading this and once again, I am sorry I did not keep you updated throughout the weekend. I have one more announcement that is very important... like urgent! If you are in my class and you know who Jonathan Tarkington is I just wanted you to know that his new dad had a stroke this weekend. He is now out of the hospital and is doing better but they may need to do a surgery or something like that so just please keep him and the family in your prayers. Have a wonderful week! Happy Blogging!

P.S. Cameron Are You HAPPY Now?! Lol
