My Thanksgiving Vacation
With Thanksgiving comes family, friends, food, and fun. Heck might as well call it the F-Holiday. Haha.
Anyway, as most of you know I wasn't home for Thanksgiving. I went to my grandma's like usual.. Then I stayed in a hotel with my cousin Stephanie & her family.
Thursday 11-27-03:
My dad picked me up at 10 and we drove out to my grandma's house. Most of the family that is usually there showed up. There were only a small portion missing.
People there..
My Grandma & Grandpa Simpson
My uncle Dennis
My uncle Mark/ Aunt Patty & their kids (Stephanie, Tracy, Andrew + Daniel)
My uncle Kerry & his kids (Brandon & Evan) Aunt Luanna couldn't make it
My uncle Mike/ Aunt Beth & their kids (Jessica & Alyssa) & Jessie's Boyfriend Brian
My family.. Minus well... minus my family.. Haha.. My family used to be my mom, dad, me and my two brothers. Now it's just my dad, his girlfriend and me. And I HATE his girlfriend... I wish they wouldn't call her my family! >.<
We all goofed around, hung out, ate food, and had our "Family Fear Factor" game.
My grandpa has always come up with something fun for everyone to do at Thanksgiving. This year it was "Family Fear Factor"
.+. He made all us grand children turn in circles around a plunger (like they do with the baseball bats sometimes) then we had to go to the dart bored and shoot a dart. Whoever did it fastest got the most points..
.+. Then we had to throw three darts. Each number on the dart board represented a certain food. We were blind folded and had our nose plugged.. and we had to eat these foods. (The list had things like Rocky Mountain Oysters, Monkey brains, Monkey eyeball, Tofu Pouch, Snake, Unborn shark.. etc)
.+. Then we all got to throw two darts to determine what our parents had to eat. It was great fun. A few people gagged.. but everyone did it pretty well.
.+. Then at the end after everyone was done eating what they had to.. He showed us what we had really eaten. It was just normal food like slim jims, beef jerky, cherries, noodles etc. It's amazing how much the taste of something changes if you can't see or smell it.
.+. The person (Stephanie) with the most points got $50 (in two dollar bills)
.+. The person (Brandon) with the most points by a parent got $20 (in two dollar bills)
.+. The person (Evan) with the most items in their bag earned got $10 (in two dollar bills)
.+. We went to the hotel room. It was me, Stephanie, Tracy, Daniel in one room. It was cool.
.+. Stephanie and I were walking around the halls of the hotel. Great fun
Friday 11-28-03:
.+. Mark & Patty, and their kids and Cassy went to my aunt Patty's relative's bbq. I couldn't go because they didn't wanna drag extra people.
.+. So I stayed with my uncle Kerry and his kids at my Grandma & Grandpa Simpson's house. I colored and went online.. and hung out with my 10 year old cousin, Evan. He never shuts up!! Haha.
.+. Then we went to Carrows. It was fun. My grandpa was messing with the waitress. I ate shrimp it was good.
.+. When they got back from the bbq.. we all went to the hotel.
.+. It was me, Stephanie, Daniel and Andrew in one room... and Mark, Patty, Tracy & Cassy in the other hotel room.
.+. We all walked around the hotel and went on the hotel computer until about 2:30. When we finally decided we should sleep.
Saturday 11-29-03:
.+. The clock was set for 7:00.. but my aunt called our room at 6:55 (arrrr >.<)
.+. Took a shower.. Stephanie took a shower..
.+. My aunt pounded on the door while we were getting ready.. all our stuff was still all over the hotel.. But she said it was time to hit the road.
.+. So, we did our makeup in the car and stuff.
.+. Stopped at my Grandma & Grandpa's to say bye to them..
.+. We got to Six Flags Magic Mountain around 9:30.
.+. We split up into whoever wanted to go with whoever. So it was just me and Stephanie.
.+. At 1:00 Jessica & Sean met up with us & we ALL went to Wendy's
.+. My family all left and it was just me Jessica & Sean walking around Six Flags the rest of the night.
.+. The whole day I rode...
- Goliath *twice*
- Colossus (backwards) *twice*
- Batman *twice*
- Scream
- Viper
- Gold Rusher
- Riddler's Revenger
- The Revolution
- The Gearworks spinny ride
(I dont know if there was more.. I can't remember)
.+. I bought a super kool Batman purse box thing.
.+. Jessica, Sean and I finally got off Riddler's Revenge and the park was closed it was like 8:20
.+. We went to Denny's and ate. I was so tired that I was laughing at almost everything
.+. When the waiter (Who according to Jessica had a young Jonny Depp resemblance) asked if I wanted a to go box.. I told him "Only if it's big enough to live in" Haha.
.+. We played with hashbrowns and made a concoction in Sean's cup.
.+. Then they brought me home.. and I got here at like 12:20 last night.
.+. I was so tired that I was asleep by 1:30. (instead of between 3 or 5 am like usual)
So, my Thanksgiving vacation was wonderful. I had a lot of fun.Walking around Six Flags was a lot of exercise. It's good for me. Yay.
There's word of me going up north to visit my family. I'm going to possibly go up with my grandparents.. and then come down with my aunt's parents. It'll be fun I think. Stephanie wants me to move up there. I don't think I could move. Plus, Jessica says I can't leave her anyway. So, no moving for me. Visiting works.
I think that is all that went on. Minus every detail of course. I wouldn't want to tell you everything that was done and everything that was said.. and every thing we did every minute of all three days. But it was a blast in any case. Stephanie is annoying sometimes.. but I love her to death.
