well... last nite i was outraged at the ppl in the stands at the olympics... if u didn't see the "riot" let me explain everylast bit of it 2 u!

It all starts on last wednesday... i think???  well.... paul hamm won the all around champion in the men's gymnastics... huge achievement but them on friday he had 2 go 2 the judges 2 say y he deserves it b/c the judges made a mistake on his opponent.. wat happened was... b4 u start ur performance (this case it was paralell bars) there r 2 judges that rite down wat ur total value of the show is worth.... that means if the person had no mistakes and did everything perect they'd get like a 10.0 get it? well, w/ the chinese guy they said his overall was supposed 2 b 9.8 wen really it was supposed 2 b a 10.0 therefore he got a lower score after they took off points 4 his mess-up.... but come 2 find out, the 2 other judges that take points away 4 messing up made a mistake as well... a gymnist is NOT supposed to hold more than three positions onm the paralell bars... but this guy held 4... so they were supposed 2 take off .2 or more points off of his score but they didnt't.... but therefore, techinecally if they fixed both the mistakes made in the judging he would still have the same score... making paul hamm still the winner of the olympic gold....

Now.... since this happened paul hamm has been feeling the whole world is against.... rite? so, wen he's competing 4 the best score on high bars... last nite.... the person b4 his got judged lower than the crowd thought he should have... so everyone in the stands started boo-ing and screaming! they did this 4 five minutes.... which made paul have 2 go on hold 2 do his act, do u realize how hard that is? 2 have 2 sit and wait? so finally after a while the judges changed the score... but it didn't matter the guy's scores still weren't high enough 2 even get a medal.... but as if that wasn't enough, wen paul was finally ready 2 go on the crowd started 2 boo AGAIN!!!! They didn't want him 2 do well or nething, it was awful, paul was standing there ready 2 cry ;( so they had 2 get a gymnast the fans just adored 2 come on2 the stage and tell everyone 2 quiet down... which they did 4 a lil bit as paul performed, but then wen he was done, which he was amazing, he got his scores and everyone started booing at him b/c it was higher than the guy everyone liked in the stands! You can't do that! And it was just awful.... he was sitting there watching everyone boo him..... by the end of the nite he was completely tortured :( but he still got a silver, which is awsome (he tied 4 first)

enough of that....






this was the beautiful place we stayed at... i kno it looks small 4rm here, but inside it had three dining places... and 6 bedrooms (1 king size bed, 3 queens, 2 fulls, and 3 twins)  and it had 2 bathrooms and a kitchen... pretty big 2 me :)




this is my cousin faith, a couple of u ppl kno her, she lives in new jersey and all...




my baby shane, isn't he just adorable in that picture?  lil attitude already




there was this strap that goes on the air pump and it said "air head" on it, and em and faith were bored so i put it around my neck, lol




my uncle bill left his hat on my uncle's boat wen he went home 2 texas 4rm our vaca and i put it on and it almsot blew off the boat, lol




this is my cousin victoria (faith's lil sister)




this would b their dad, or my uncle ray




on our way home 4rm new hampshire faith and i were bored so we started putting donuts in our mouth and talkin 2 eachother, lol, it was a blast, even though it looks slightly disgusting




and this is my grandpa ray... a bit scary looking in this picture b/c i was running around getting pics of everyone and i told him 2 smile and this is wat he did....  lol, i'm so glad he came, we never get 2 see him b/c his wife thinks everyone is after her and won't let him leave the house




this would b my memorable uncle bill, u gotta love him, he's a kid at heart, and next 2 him is my aunt angela whom all the adults don't like and i think is an awsome person (she's new 2 the family, they just got married)  she taught me and faith some line dancing 2!  (their from texas, member)
