Fun with Camp Friends!!!!

  

On the way back home from NYC, we stopped at the home of my camp friend, Emma.  Thanks so much for having us Emma!!!!  Sorry we couldn't go to the park and play on the rolly thing, ha ha ha!!! ;-)

Brooklyn

My cousin Keira and I at a playground in Brooklyn. So much fun!!!

Taylor, Clara, Keira, and Abby at the Bronx Zoo.

New York

Over Thanksgiving me and my family went to New York to see our cousins (Keira age five and Clara age one).  At the feast we had sixteen people (including kids).  We rented an apartment with our grandparents (my mom's parents) but on the the third day my grandmother slipped on the floor and hurt herself.  After that my grandfather drove her back to N.H.  Later that day we went bowling at Brooklyn Bowl. Then, on the way home we had two stops one in Darian to see one of Abby's camp friends and one in Boston to see my other cousin.  My favorite part was bowling.  My sister made a chocolate pie and I made an apple pie for our meal. 

Pre Thanksgiving

OK, so it's 4 o'clock pm, 8 hours before Thanksgiving and 16 hours before my family heads to NY city for the big Turkey Tom Day.  Which I am happy to say is going to be a battle ground at my uncles house in Brooklyn, because my uncle is a Jets fan and we are Pats fans.  Anyway, my brother and I were playing football in the yard, he the quarterback and I the receiver. I was running/walking fast, backwards up a hill in my yard, when suddenly my ankle twisted badly!  I think I sprained it and probably ruined the vacation for my whole family!  I feel so bad because one, I can't even put weight on my ankle, and two I'll be toddling around while my family celebrates Meleagris gallopavo day (turkeys scientific name).  Happy Thanksgiving everyone and be thankful that you don't have a sprained ankle!!!:)

Dads birthday!!!!

Yesterday was my dads birthday.  He just turned forty five.  The New England Patriots (the new England football team) beat the Indianapolis Colts on his birthday. Me and all my family (even my mom) watched the game.  The Patriots won by the score of 59 to 24 and tied the New England record for points in a game.  My sister and mom found a football birthday cake at the store and it was very sugary!!!!:-)

Moving !!!

Several weeks ago me and my family looked at a house to move into.  It is only about two or three blocks away, but it is in foss farm neighborhood. One of the reasons we are moving there is because right now we are surrounded by college students. They are  very loud and are very annoying. 
Another reason is that we just want a change.  I have never moved in all the nine years I have been alive.  We have been looking for a house for a couple of month's and when we got a tour of the house we all loved it!

this is us looking at the house

By Malin, later...here's the house, but we have to wait until we get back to move in!

Work!!!!!

Ever made a list? Bet you never seen one like the one my mom made this weekend. It was a to do list for stuff we need to do before Argentina. 10 things listed under mom, 10 under dad, and guess what? 3 under Taylor and 2 under me. I mean I seriously scored! On Monday we raked 5 billion lbs of leaves, which Taylor sneakily got out of by going to a friends house.

The image above is what I described to my mom.  If we rake the leaves now, others are gonna fall off.  She responded by showing me that there were no leaves on the trees anymore.

Election Day!

 

We had our presidential vote today. It went great! The person that I wanted to win got reelected. His name is Barak Obama. I filled out an electoral college voting map with the colors red and blue for the two presidential parties. Red is republican and blue is democrat (for they are the two major parties).

End Of Soccer Season

Our U-13 girls soccer season was great - made it to state finals vs. Hookset(Our arch rivals) :-(

It was freezing out and the game took place at 5 pm. Everyone in the picture is wearing gloves and jackets!  Great job everyone!!
