Today was a really fun day. First, I had a nice sleep and woke up, sneaked to the kitchen and got some goldfish and played Mario Cart with my sister while we stuffed goldfish in our mouths. After everyone woke up, the whole family got warm and went outside. My daddy and mommy rode in the truck, while me and my sisters rode in the trailer to the back of the yard. When the car started I said, "It’s gonna be a bumpy ride!" You know, from Hairy Potter? When the freaky looking head says that in the car. :) But it really hurt because when I said that we drove fast and hit a hole and my but got hurt. :( Anyways, when we reached the back of the yard, we took out shovels and started shoveling tons of gravel onto the trailer. It was fun because I didn't do the hard part. While everyone was shoveling I just smashed and flattened the gravel. :)
When we had enough gravel, we jumped onto the trailer and rode all the way to our drive way. We stopped and shoveled all of the gravel into the pot holes. When I got bored, I took a shovel and stood on it like a pogo stick. :) (It’s my sisters idea...) After about 20 minutes or so, we jumped right back into the trailer, (mommy decided to ride on the trailer this time,) Daddy drove right on the rode while my mommy was yelling to him, "What are you doing??! You’re going to get us killed!" He thought it was going to be easy turning around....but there was a car waiting for us to go. I was freaking out because I was on a trailer, on the road, so I just closed my eyes. :) We had nowhere to go but drive to our neighbors drive way.
We drove a long way down to their house, and of course they were outside.....it was embarrassing. Their dog started barking, and oh was she a beautiful dog! :) We haven't seen her in....forever. So she didn't recognize us. But she was barking until my mommy called her name, "Hi Annie!" and Annie just stood there. Then she wagged her tail and never barked at us again. :) But we had to drive up to their house and talked for a while. They asked us if we could make that turn to go back. But we made it! It was a big adventure. But the day wasn't over, it was only 1:03 when we returned safely to our home. :)
It was the Leipers Fork Parade today! My sister was in it, because she is a cheerleader for our school. When we got there, it was sooooooooo crowded! And guess what? My sister forgot her Santa Hat. Oh it was bad, when she got to her friends, she was the only one who forgot it. Daddy was on his way to save the day, he headed back home to get it. The parade already started when he got back from home. He walked fast to my sister on the fire truck already, and threw the Santa hat at her. :) Right when he walked two steps away, the fire truck left. Right on time! :) When we were all together again, we finally watched the parade. Well here comes the funniest part of my day, at the parade the parade people throw candy at everyone, so I went to go get the candy on the road, and I bent over and fell flat on my face. It was so funny! And embarrassing! That was my day, and it was really fun. :)
