On Wednesday we left home around 2:20 to meet Shea Shea so I could stay with her. (By the way Cole stayed two nights.) We met her at a church around four and we threw our luggage into her new car and drove to Liberty. The day we got there we didn't do much except for watch a movie. We went to bed around 11 and I had a great nights sleep.
Thursday:
The next morning I made pancakes for breakfast and we got dressed to go bike riding. We stopped by the library to take a break and look at some books. We left after about 5 minutes to go to some stores. We crossed the street and went into an awesome store, we did not purchase anything. We walked our bikes down to the next store on the block. This is my favorite store in Liberty because it sells Vera Bradley. Sadly, we did not purchase anything. We headed back home to eat lunch after that. After we finished our lunch off, we rode bikes to the snowcone stand. I got the flavor Dora and Cole got Hurricane as usual. We finished our snowcones and went into Hibbett Sports across the parking lot. We bought something for Poppy and came home. We spent some time at home and then we started getting ready for Kemah. We left the house and went back to Hibbett Sports to buy my dad a Liberty Panthers shirt. While we were there Cole noticed some sunglasses he wanted that he could use for baseball. After we purchased our items we headed to Kemah. We went over a big bridge going there and we so some fake birds dressed up in Cop costumes. When we got there we went to buy wristbands. Cole rode some rides and then we went on the Kemah train that went around the park. We got off and Cole rode more rides. I was too big of a chicken to ride rollercoasters but one thing I did get the courage to do was ride the Farris wheel. Y'all may think wow that's not a big deal but for me it is because I am the biggest chicken when it comes to heights. After I rode the Farris wheel we went to eat at the Aquarium. Cole and Shea Shea ordered delicious fish and of course I didn't get seafood, I got mini corndogs while Poppy ordered a huge hamburger. When we finished eating we walked around the Aquarium gift shop and did not purchase anything. When we left we went to ride the Kemah Tower into the sky. I didn't get any pictures on my camera but I got some on my iPod so I can't upload them, all I can tell you is, it's BEAUTIFUL. We came back down and the employee on board with us anounced that we were stuck a foot above where we were supposed to go. I was worried bacause I thought we were stuck and that we were going to die. They had to call maintenance and they got it fixed, thank goodness. After we got off the Kemah Tower I rode the Farris wheel with Cole again. On this ride I met a little friend and we rode one more time together. When I got off it was time to go. We went to sleep late that night and slept good.
Friday:
I woke up the next morning and made pancakes yet again. We hung out around the house until it was time to leave for Jenna's dance recital. First we went to her house and then went to her recital. After the recital we went to a frozen yogurt place and had some delicious yogurt with the family. We had to go so we could go to Meemie's and take Cole home. We met my mom at Meemie's and headed to Chilli's to eat. When we were done I told my mom good bye and we rode back to Liberty. In the last 20 minutes of our car ride back to Liberty, my iPod went dead. Luckily I can entertain myself for 20 minutes. When we got home I immediately plugged in my iPod and then went to watch the lighting of the torch. This was so thrilling. When the whole thing was over we watched the news and then went to bed.
Saturday:
I woke up in the morning and went to make pancakes again. We hung out around the house until it was time to go to Christi Gruver & Kevin Ladd's wedding. The wedding was amazing and the bride was beautiful. Here are some photos.

After the reception we came home and relaxed. That night Shea Shea & I rode bikes through Travis Park and through Regency Place and came home. I had a fun time riding bikes while it was cool outside. We watched more Olympics and then went to bed.
Sunday:
On Sunday morning I got up and took a shower before heading to church. We left the house all fancied up but when we got there people told us that the air and power was out so they put off church until night. Sunday School: 5 o' clock, Church: 6 o' clock. While we were waiting to go to church we watched Mr. Popper's Penguins and ate lunch. I had fun at church but when I came home I got to visit with Ryan and Jenna again. I gave them presents and we watched Sesame Street with Ryan. We all stayed up chatting and had fun. When they left we watched more Olympics and went to bed. (As you probably see the morning and night are pretty much the same schedule)
Monday:
Monday I woke up and I was so excited that I was going to get to see Aunt Jenifer and David. (Before I say anymore I want to say Happy Birthday Aunt Jen) We left at 1 o' clock to go to Katy to see Jen and David at Stephen and Christina's house. We got there around 2:30 and we played around the house for hours and then we went to Babin's to celebrate aunt Jen's Birthday. Here are some pics.

That night the German's came in from Colorado so we stayed up til midnight talking and watching the Olympics.
Tuesday:
Tuesday morning I made pancakes for little Kina. She is the most adorable little German kid. In Germany they put chocolate syrup on their pancakes so that's exactly what Kina did. I was supposed to go home today but Kina wanted me to stay so I did. I had cheer so we all (including the Germans) went to Tomball and they all watched me cheer and then we went to Los Cucos and ate with my mom and dad while Cole was at football camp. After that I had to tell my mom and dad good bye again. We headed to Liberty and got home late. We watched Olympics again and headed to bed.
Wednesday:
This morning we had biscuits for breakfast. We got dressed and then we drove to Atascocita to go support Chick-Fil-A. The line was so long I rode with the Germans to James Avery so I didn't have to stand in line with Poppy and Shea Shea. When we got back Poppy and Shea Shea had our food. We ate and then we all went back to Liberty. We have done nothing since we got home. Tomorrow I go home.
