Goin' Home Today!!

Yup, I'm finally going home today, after 9 days. I'm excited. I've had a lot of fun here in Florida, but i'm ready to go home. I'm ready to see my family, and REALLY excited to see my animals :) I haven't pet an animal in like 7 or 8 days, and that was just one pet of a fat cat at a resteraunt..

:( I can't go too long without petting an animal, lol. And this is too long for me. LOL! R's older brother, Z just tripped over something in the bathroom, and slammed into the bathroom door which burst open. lol it scared me. He fell on the ground, got up, said "good morning". lol

Anyways, mine and Luke's flight leaves at 4:30pm, and we fly to.. i don't remember where. Then we get on another plane and fly home :)

Friday we all went to Epcot in Disney World, but I really don't feel like posting about that really... But I'll tell you what I bought:

1. A little plastic kitty bowl for my kitten. On the side, it has a bunch of different Disney cat characters.
2. A beer mug from Germany (NOT for beer!!!!). btw, Epcot has like 11 different "countries" you can visit and Germany was one. That was my fav country.
3. 2 peices of chocolate from Germany
4. A bag of candy from Norway for Adam back home
5. A friendship bracelet in Mexico (rachel got one too)
6. A shot glass with leather around it in Mexico for adam.
7. little wooden duck for my grandparents in China
8. 2 tiny peices of chocoalte in Italy

Is that all? I thought I bought more... hmm i guess not. Well I got to get ready, eat breakfast and whatever else, so I'll post later. ttyl

Until next time, my friends!

I don't have anything else to post... so here's a video of a cougar at the Wildlife Sanctuary from yesterday. Right before I took this video, the cougar was playing with a bowl in the water, but when I turned the camera on, he/she got out and mostly stopped playing :(

And here is a video of the two raccoons:


Ok, well I guess that's all for now. Talk to ya lata you guys!

Until next time, my friends!

Florida!

Sorry I haven't posted yet. We met R's family at a store around 8 in the morning at McDonald's on Saturday. We drove like six hours to a hospital in Alabama where R's great uncle was. We stayed there for about 20 minutes or so and left and drove another who-knows-how-many-hours to a hotel where we got one free night there. All seven of us stayed in that little hotel room. After we got settled in the hotel, we went to the beach. It was like 8pm or something like that, and the sun was setting on the beach and it was so pretty!! But R forgot her camera, so we didn't get any pictures...

the above is a picture of the hospital by the way.

When we got back to the hotel, we took turns taking showers and then all went to bed. Luke and R's brother Z slept on the floor, R and me got one bed, and R's mom and two little brothers got the other bed.

The next day we left and drove about an hour to another beach that was SO cool! The water was really clear, and the sand was almost completely white, and soft and hardly any shells. R and I stayed in the water for a long time. The water was kinda cold! But we got used to it. We got out to almost to our necks, and were talking, when something tickled my toe. I jumped and screamed. I realized a fish had come up and nibbled my toe! It was funny :P After that I accidentally kicked the little fish -- twice. lol! and then R kicked it on purpose, and then I kicked it once or twice on purpose :P Then the fish kept following us around. It was funny. R's lil brother Saiah went to get a net out of the car, and I tried to catch the little fish, but it was too fast.

That pic is me and R at the beach

We stayed there for a long while, and omg I forgot to say that before we went on the beach, we ate at a restaurant right next to the beach.

After we left the beach and drove for like an hour or so to a campsite, and we set up our kind of small tent, and we ate chicken legs and then smores. Then, R's mom and the little boys went to wal-mart to buy a REALLY big tent. So we all slept in that that night. It was horrible. I had no pillow, and my blanket covered about half of me. The ground was hard and painful. And there was lights outside, so it wasn't dark at all, and ugh I couldn't go to sleep. I finally after a long time was able to go to sleep, but I was really cold and in the morning I woke up with a sore shoulder.

We didn't leave the campsite until like 12:30pm or something like that. Before we did, me and R went back to the gift shop/gas station because we wanted to buy a cool hat that we had seen in there the day before. The hat's were awesome, but $25. But we bought them anyway. R also bought some cool sunglasses that I wish I had... Here is a pic of both of us with the hats:

Oh, i forgot to say that when we first got to the campsite, and we were right outside the gift shop and were walking back to the car, a guy quite a few years older than me and R walked by us and said, "Ooo!! Girls :)" LOL! It was so funny. I didn't know what to think of it.

After we left there, we drove several hours to a place where we were going to camp and then the next day go tubing, but we ended up voting to just go home instead. And so we drove 5 hours to R's home. It was a long 5 hours, which a lot of it I spent sleeping, or at least trying to. We finally got here to R's house at 11pm. We brought some of our stuff in, and after saying hello to R's dad (he had come back before R and the rest of her family did), R and I came to her room, and got on the computer (facebook).

While I was on the computer, R started writing on my arm with a thick, black, permenant marker. ALL over my right arm. It was covered, and I went to wash it off, and it's MUCH harder than it looks. I got most of it off, but it's all still on my arm, but just faint. It lookes really weird.

Ok, so me and R are going to get ready and go on a bike ride around here, and maybe ride to the pool to swim later. I'll post more later, ttyl.

UP, UP,UP and away!! (in a house)

Last night, me and my two brothers went to see the movie, UP. The movie started at 5:30 and we were late. We were like 10 minutes late before we even got there so we just decided to see the 7:35 showing instead. Luke had a friend (Jacob) that worked not too far away at a restaurant, so we went there to see if he still worked there and if he did, to say hi. He didn't work there anymore, but we decided to eat there. I had a chicken sandwich, and the chicken was in the shape of a heart lol.

Right across the street was the Starbucks Jacob used to work at, and a girl working at the restaurant said he might be working there again. So we went to Starbucks but he didn't work there... so we just went back to the movie theatre. We were late, lol. We bought our ticket and walked into the theatre and NObody else was in that one. Probably because we were seeing the 2D version instead of the 3D (because Luke doesn't like 3D. GUR I've never seen anything in 3D before...) and everyone probably went to the 3D one.

We took our seats and we were like 15 minutes late, but the commercials were just starting. the movie didn't even start until 30 minutes past the time it was supposed to.. because we three were the only ones in the theatre, we were talking loudly, and Luke kept yelling. It was fun. I kept thinking I was disturbing someone, but there weren't any other people in there, lol.

The movie was really good :) It wasn't quite as funny as the commercials show it to be, and it had hardly any of the stuff in the movie that they showed on the commercials, but I still really liked it :) I want to see it again. I love the beginning which shows Carl Fredrickson (the old guy, ya know) when he was like 8 or 9, and he meets this kind of crazy girl (she had short, spiky, wild hair and a missing tooth :P) named Ellie who dreams of building her house on Paradise Falls which is in a lost land. And Carl ends up marrying her and it shows the time pass as they grow older and then they are real old, and Ellie dies before they could take their adventure to Paradise Falls. And then the story goes on from there as it shows on the commercials.

It is a really great movie and I encourage everyone who is reading this to go see it. It is a heartfelt movie about an old man named Carl who has to fulfil a promise, a little boy named Russel who wants to earn his "helping the elderly" badge, a "talking" dog named Doug who wants to help his new masters, and a colorful "non-existing" bird named Kevin who loves chocolate. The bird is a girl by the way.

I would love to tell you all about the movie, but that would be spoiling it for those who have not seen it yet... If you have not seen UP, I hope you will, and I hope you like it as much as I do.

We are having a garage sell tomorrow, and I have to get up early, so I better go... I have more to say, but I'll save that for another post.


Until next time, my friends!
