Fall Break!

Well..
My family went to my Grandma's house for our fall break and had a ton of fun. Aunt Mary, Aunt Becky, Beth, Jacob, and Emma, came too!
Here's some of what we did:

~ POPS concert
~ I was really sick with strep during General conference
~Katie got her wisdom out
~Chuck E Cheese
~Kung Fu Panda
~Louis Pizza
~Ray's Ice Cream
~Zoo (the Polar Bears were really showing off)
~Park with the cousins
~Shopping
~A Stake cultural Event
~Church in Sterling Heights
~Bob Evans
~Hot tubing with the Family
~Lots of Hot Chocolate!!!
~While doing all this, I managed to read 4 books!

We were suppose to leave Monday with the rest of the family, but flights weren't good and we got to stay for one more day. We went to the Henry Ford Museum and Grenville Village. On the second Monday of every month Macy's comes and does all this cool stuff for two hour at Grenville village and we went to it. We got free Beanie Babies and A free picture frame which was filled with the picture we got to take with the scare crow! My highlight was the Model T ride.

Flights got horrible! They had this deal online and the other airlines matched it. So we only managed to get to San Fran our first night of traveling. We stayed at the Comfort Inn and sat on our butts. I finished my other book.

Tuesday, we also didn't get on but fate managed to get grimmer. I LOST MY BAG!!!.
It contained my journal, my Japanese notebook (watashi no nooto nihongo desu.), my small fortune of $40, and my Camera which I am much depressed over. So, all those late night writings have been in vain, I have to re-write all my Japanese we I should be focused on catching up, and I have no pictures of my trip to show you except the ones my mom printed. dang nab it.

On the bright side though, we surprised the Stewart family (My Aunt Becky and Uncle Ken and family) with a visit. We just chilled. Katie and I got Non-Revving outfits!

We weren't going to make it Thursday either until the Kona flight (right next to ours) had an Unexpected plane change to one bigger. I sat next to one of the BIGGEST creepers in the world. He like invited me and my family to ride in his private plane and come to his 10 million dollor house. He bought me a sandwich and two chips after I told him not to. He insited on giving me and my mom (which he got up to talk to during the flight) $20. He told me a lot about how he wanted one more girl baby and about his 38-50 year old friends are having baby girls. Half-way during the flight he left his spot and went to the back for at least 2 hours of the flight to do who knows what (he told the flight attendant he would come back to talk to her, I was just glad he was gone). During the flight he drank at least 4 of those skyvokas and I'm sure he had more when he was gone. I would have changed seats, but (before we knew he was so weird) my mom told me it would be harder to make our next flight, so I didn't. Unforantly we didn't make that connection anyway, and we stayed the night at the Kona Seasider. Maddie kept on saying, and I quote "It's not a hotel, it's a dive!" after she heard my mom's late night and stressed complaining. Then we were finally homebound in the morning.

We've been sitting on our butts and resting ever since. I don't have the energy for tomorrow to come and life to start again. ugh! It was nice to be back in my culture for a while though. Makes it kinda hard to be back and trapped. I was home so long that it kinda hard to breath in the thidck air again. Oh well.

Homecoming week starts tomorrow and I'm so nervous!! It will be over soon though!

Well good bye.
Stay Tuned for pictures... hopefully (scaner is broken)
