Awesome Times

On Saturday, my parents decided to go to Connecticut to visit my cousins. We woke up early Sunday morning and drove all the way. It took like 2 hours, which it normally does.

After going to my cousins’ house, I help my older cousin get stuff onto her iPod from my laptop. I gave her a bunch of videos. The video iPod is like so awesome!

Around noon, we drove to my cousins’ cousin’s house. We hung out and played ping pong and stuff. Then, we went to the movies. My older cousin, my nephew, and some kid my cousins know went to see Fun with Dick and Jane. My younger cousin and her cousin went to see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Dick and Jane was a very nice movie. It was pretty funny. I think it could’ve been at least a half hour longer, but it was still good. You know how there’s a first time for everything? Well, since there were no grown-ups there, we decided we should sneak into Narnia since our movie was over.

I didn’t see it as that much of a good movie, but it was okay for something like that. I thought there were a few things that were confusing since it is supposed to have some religious undertones in it.

At home, we played a game that I just learned to play. It’s called Egyptian Ratscrew and it’s pretty fun. It can get a bit out of hand, though. Especially when you play with hyper people.

Something very scary happened today. Us kids were all eating breakfast when I saw a flash from outside the window. I thought it was some crazy stalker dude or something but the light was pretty huge. All of a sudden, the house started to shake like crazy. I got scared because I thought it was an earthquake or something. I was gonna run for cover (saving my own life was my top priority) but my cousin grabbed onto my hoodie and wouldn’t let go. It stopped all of a sudden. We got scared but we remembered that lightning never strikes the same spot twice. My little cousin got really scared. My parents were at the mall and when lightning struck near them, my mom got scared because she thought it was a bomb or something. Which is scary, since the whole mall shook.
