Going on Lots of Adventures.
Hi again, folks.
Well, it's been a week since I arrived. A week and 1 day to be exact. I've been so busy doing so much exploring, shopping, and visiting with family. I am loving every bit of it.
I'll start with last Wednesday. We went to a place called Larder lake. It's about 10 minutes out of Kirkland Lake. I couldn't see much because of the snow, but even going for the car ride was a thrill. I know, it's the little things in life that amuse me the most. LOL. My Grandparents and I went to Tim Hortons and bought some coffee to drink while we sat and watched the snowy lake. We stayed in the van of course.
On Thursday, we just went to one of the big grocery stores in town here. My Grandpa bought me some really interesting vegetarian food. He isn't veg, but he knows that I'm willing to try anything, and that I have tried Tofu before and really liked it. It has to be the firm or extra firm tofu though because the other stuff just doesn't sit in my mouth texturally. I'm very textural when it comes to food. For example, I won't eat mashed bananas because of their texture. Anyways, we bought some cagian chicken bologna, which is made of tofu I guess. We also bought some veggie cheese and a block of Tofu. On Thursday night, I made a killer stir-fry with a package of mixed vegetables, tofu, montreal steak spice and soya sauce. The vegetables that were in it were tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, coliflower, and a bunch of other stuff. It was absolutely amazing. Even my Grandpa liked it. My Grandma didn't like the tofu, so she just put it on my plate.
On Friday, I spent most of the day indoors, wrapping gifts for my Grandparents, Newmar, and my aunt, her boyfriend and my cousins. That's always fun. I love wrapping presents.
Saturday was a very busy day because this was when my company came. They arrived around 2:30, so my Grandma spent the morning cooking cabbage rolls for dinner. She also made roast beef for dinner last night. We had our Christmas dinner today because they couldn't stay until Tomorrow. I really wanted them to stay longer. I was actually having fun with them here. I guess it's because they're more mature now.
Yesterday, Dave, my aunt's boyfriend, my aunt, and Grandpa and I went on quite an adventure. I went to Quebec! We're only 45 kilometres away from the Quebec border. My Aunt wanted to see a mountain type thing. It isn't a real mountain, but a really high rock with some hiking trails on it. I am determined to climb this rock during the summer. I told Grandpa that I'll do it even if it kills me. Hey, if Terry Fox can do a marathon across Canada, I can climb a stupid rock. They kept telling me, "No you can't." Ha, I'll prove them wrong. This rock is so neat looking especially with snow on it. Grandpa said it looks like a large boob. LOL.
Well, I think that's all for now. I'll probably have more to write about after tomorrow.
Merry Christmas, everyone, or whatever festival you celebrate.
Jessica and Newmar.
