I am going to tell you about our week and a day long vacation in this journal. I got up at about 6:00 am and got dressed, ate breakfast, and did last minute packing/packing the stuff that I just realized that I had forgotten. We left the house around 7:00 and hit the road. It didn’t seem too long, even though we drove 12 hours that day. We listened to 2 audio books and played a ton of car games. We listened to 6 audio books total on this trip. I read some and got motion sick. That night we stayed with some friends, they had a fire pit, a zip line and more than one play house in their backyard. they also had a new puppy and a home theater, I went zip lining for the first time, and zip lining in the dark too!!!!!!!!!! We also had s-mores and played games. I got to sleep with my friend whom I hadn’t seen in about 2 years, it was a ton of fun!!! We went to lamplighter publishing and had a tour led by the president we even watched some books get made, I folded 100 boxes, and the president even signed 2 books for us and personally picked a book for each of us kids. Dad was thinking about maybe working at lamplighter so we went to their company picnics and made friends, they are awesome people who are serving God through their work and we love what they do but God doesn’t want us there right now. We also went and saw Niagara Falls, the Statue of Liberty, the site of the Twin towers, and our cousins we hadn’t seen in 3 years. At Niagara Falls we got ice cream, and we were going to go to the crown at the Statue of Liberty, but it was broken so we saw it from the New Jersey side. We got to camp out on the floor in the basement with our cousins, and we got there way before dinner so we got to spend a bit more time with them than we might have. And we got to meet the newest edition to the family of 11, she is not quite 1 year yet. On the 4th or 5th day of driving it got a bit boring, I am glad we are back home now.

Today

Today I felt sick. I woke with gas and ran to the bathroom. I went back to bed. Then I got out of bed to eat breakfast and do school which I could not stay focused on. I tried to do school until lunch. I ate lunch and did most of what I could in school. I went up to my room to take a nap. I woke up and Pokemon battled myself a little bit (I was winning), sat up to long and laid back down. Mom came up and talked with me. Then I made a magic labyrinth course and ate dinner. Then I wrote this.

We just finished reading this book and I thought I’d give it a review. I give it a four out of five star review. It is about a missionary and his wife and they’re struggles to translate the bible, learn a new language, and do all this in a different culture. It’s an awesome book but there are some gross and a couple of ugly things described in it. I don’t suggest it for 4-6 year olds because of the cultural difference, and no lack of adjectives in it.
