Last few days

OK so since the last time I posted, here is the happenings;

On Thursday, we went to the Zoo. After getting inside, we went into the main gift shop and I found these TOTALLY CUTE sunglasses for only $11! So as you can tell, I bought them with my babysitting money. My parents bought an adorable Ranger hat for my baby brother since we forgot his other hat and we set off to see the animals. We saw lions, tigers, and bears, OH MY! LOL No, seriously we did see those, are more. We watched some funny monkeys and I took a video so you can watch that here:

After watching the crazed monkeys, we saw giraffes, hippos, elephants, gazelles, and many other animals that you wouldn't see on a walk through the park. We had a LOT of fun and it was perfect weather the whole day.

Before we left, we stopped at the gift shop one last time and my parents bought me a cute penguin key chain.

On Friday, we did a few different things, first we ate breakfast and got dressed (i think most people do that before leaving the house) and then we took off for the bank! Actually we did because my dad was running low on cash and then we went to GLOW GOLF!!!!! Oh yes, you read right! We had a great time there. One funny thing was when I hit the ball for hole number 9, it bounced out of the boundaries and landed PERFECTLY in hole number 10!!!! It was insane! I couldn't believe it until I looked and sure enough it was there! LOL After golfing, we played in the Arcade. It is amazing how fast a family can blow through 100 tokens! But I must say I got a good prize, a light up cross necklace. It is actually quite nice. Anyways, after using up all our tokens and getting our prizes, we went out for ice cream. Then my brother and I went to the Teen Library Summer Reading Finally Party! (long name huh?) The acrobatic show in the beginning was great but the video games and toilet paper bracelet making was kinda lame for a LIBRARY party. I ended up reading my book (which is an amazing fictional book that is Christian, its titled "The Legend of the Firefish" and you have to check it out!!!) for the evening.

On Saturday, we went to the Chiropractor and then went out to lunch and the Old Country Buffet. As people do at any buffet, we ate as much as we could hold. Then when we came home, everyone except me and my baby brother, went to see Journey to the Center of the Earth (don't worry, my grandma has already taken me to see it). At the end of the evening, we watch Monk together and then went to bed.

Today, we ate a lovely breakfast of eggs, toast, and some fruit and then got dressed and left for church. The message was on listening for God's call. Often times there is honestly too much noise to hear God's gentle call. During the message, my baby brother was smiling at the dear elderly lady sitting behind us and she leaned over to say to my dad who was holding my brother, "Your baby is flirting with me!" LOL It was so funny but I tried as hard as I could to not laugh. It was very cute though. And of course, during prayer my baby brother started to talk as if agreeing with the pastor on what he was praying about. Well after church, we did all the chores we should have done on Saturday. We dusted, cleaned counters, vacuumed out the van, washed the tub, cleaned all the floors, you name it we cleaned it! So now I am posting this before I hop in the shower and relax. I will post more later.

Enjoy your Sunday, Blessings,
