My grandpa's memorial
So, I slept over at my grandma's today. We both went to see my grandpa's memorial. It was really nice, and it made me think lots about him. I want to go to it again next year, no doubt. Afterwards, we went to my baseball game. Our team won 16-10 and I caught the last fly-ball of the game. We then went back to her house where we saw my cousins; Christine and Elizabeth. Tristan wanted to play with me, so we played together for a while. And then Aunt Karen and Ben arrived, so we decided to swim. The water was so cold, we ended up just swimming for like two minutes. Me and Tristan played for another little while, until it was his bed time. So I then went outside to talk for a bit. After a bit, Aunt Karen and Ben left, and we all just went to bed. The next morning, my little cousin Tristan and I played in the "party room" for a while. And then we had smiley faced pancakes for breakfast. Me, Tristan and Alexandra played the Cut the Rope board game. Alexandra ended up winning, because she got all of the easiest levels. But, a win is still a win! We then played monopoly with grandma. Tristan just moved his vehicle anywhere he wanted, so he was kinda playing freestyle mode. I was losing in the start, but I caught up and placed hotels on two of my properties. Then my sister Emily came and took grandma's place. Alexandra landed on my hotel twice. The first time, she was missing $1 to have have completely payed me, but Emily helped her out and gave her $10. Emily landed on my hotel once, and she didn't have enough to pay me. So, Emily gave all of her buildings to Alexandra to give her a little boost. The second time Alexandra landed on my hotel she was short a lot of money. She did get saved about five times, though, so I thought Emily should have came second. But anyways, I ended up winning. I still had about $7500 dollars left, so I was pretty happy for that big win. We then went in the pool. We had a race, and I ended up coming last. The girls also played "Colours". Colours is a game where all of the players think of a colour, and the person trying to catch you will name out colours. If your colour is called out you will try and secretly swim to the other side. The person calling out these colours will then try to catch you. Then my dad came and we tried to balance on his shoulders. And then me and Tristan played in the play structure. The girls made some kind of beach, and it actually kind of looked real. We then had to leave. Me and Emily biked home, and my dad walked. I spent the rest of my day at home. Since I am publishing this before my last swimming class, I must say that later on will be my last swimming class. I am pretty excited. Whoa, this must be the longest blog post I've ever made.
