Blog Letters: Beach Vacation - Day Six - "Go Karts, Wagon Rides And Stunt Kites"

It was a slow morning we had a fantastic breakfast of french toast, bacon, fruit, and coffee lovingly prepared for us by my Aunt and then we all went off and did our own thing for a bit. James and I decided to watch the same episode of Wallace and Grommitt again because it was stuck in the VCR player ( yes I know some of my dear readers may not know what this device is message me I'll explain) and we couldn't get it out to put anything else in. Before you knew it Mom had made popcorn and we were all gathered in the living room laughing to a man and his dog with a sheep rustler mystery. (If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. it is a riveting plot :)
 Finishing the movie we all felt like we needed to get out and do something so we all loaded up and went down to the Go - Kart rink where Dad, James and Uncle Rick all proceeded to chase each other in a circle having the time of their lives.

 Working up an appetite racing, we all decided to get lunch at this fish and chips place. We all ate in silence, before the guys left to go find some snacks for the cabin, and the girls went browsing around town a bit more. Mom and I even got to do a free wagon ride.

Later in the afternoon Dad took us down to the beach and we played around in the sand and surf till my aunt and uncle arrived and taught us how to fly stunt kites.  Thank you Aunt Alison for the picture collage below.

Finishing the day off with some Chico's pizza and a few rounds of rummy with James, I crawled into bed, happy to sleep and sad to be leaving the next day.

The One Where I Graduate

Hey, Everyone! This girl did the thing, she got her diploma. Not without the help of some dear people. My teachers are incredible through the last few years at the co-op I have worked with me and taught me so many valuable and cherished lessons.  I have been blessed with a loving and hard-working Mother who has spent countless hours preparing and teaching lessons. She has spent time discussing, researching and praying over the best direction she needed to take with my education. My parents have encouraged me through any adventure I chose to embark on. They never let me believe I couldn't achieve whatever I set out to do. They taught me that hard work would always be rewarding, to always do best, and by example, they taught me to put others first and give when I can.  My brother James is truly the best brother in the world. He is my sidekick in life and we have had countless adventures together. He has shown me to accept whatever happens and be happy at the moment. He has taug...

Meet Riley!

 Hey, so you remember all those posts I did in July? Yeah, me either....I am sorry guys. Summer has been great! Full of adventures and fun. We had our VBS, celebrated the 4th, I had my college orientation (a hopeful future post), we went camping, and enjoyed many days outside in the sunshine. Along with all these fun summer activities, there has been an addition to our family.     Everyone, meet Riley! A fun-loving, three-year-old, German Sheppard. She came to us through Spokanimal, but she is originally from LA. There, she was found on the streets and had just had puppies. We don't know what happened to the puppies but are thrilled to have her in our family. Riley loves grass absolutely loves it. She rolls around in it all the time and wants to be outside as much as she can. So far, she has loved everyone she has ever been around. The first day we got her we had our VBS team and a couple guys came over and she loved them. Last week we had twenty band kids over for a c...

New Roads

Another adventure I have been up to is driving, I started driver's ed about 3 weeks ago and what and adventure it has been. Between navigating the DMV for my permit, learning to deal with teachers and classmates that are different from what I am used too. Not to mention the actual driving, hehee that has been entertaining. One of my first times out, there was an incident involving a Zip's parking lot, a turn lane and a learning what a drive thru lane is. Moral of story I now know what a turn lane is, everyone lived and I am sure that the guy in the drive thru wasn't in shock for long, whoops! Last night's adventure involved a car trying to cut me off, driving in too close at the gas station,  a imaginary person in the road and hitting a porcupine. (Which I actually cried over) What I am learning is that I am never going to be instantly perfect at something I am going to mess up. The important thing to remember is I have amazing parents here to help me learn, a class ...
