Surprise! Pictures Part

Now this is the picture version of our first three days at Florida. NOTE: You better enjoy every second of this because I did it TWICE.  Since I did this twice and since it's long and since one person didn't get to enjoy the majority of this trip I thought that this blog post should be for that person. Hope you enjoy the post and can experience the vacation through what everyone tells and writes about it.  Love you!   

Us admiring our tiny plane that we would soon be riding on. No claustrophobia, thank goodness.

 
Peter and  me flying together.

Me smiling while in the cockpit with my ears hurting like crazy.

Aunt Julie after learning that we all came to go to Orlando with her instead of doing our homework.

Can you see my Aunt earrings that my Uncle chose. Good choice.

We ate at Cici's that night. Peter, Laura and Kyle made something we really didn't want to eat.

April my adorable cousin that you can NOT have.

Let kids be kids. Or else they'll get back at you.

Uncle Chris got us this cool room in a resort and nobody seemed really interested in it. Weird.  

We lost two hours in Florida and were really tired. Here's proof.

Sometimes I wonder what we would do without that iPod Touch. Die of boredom probably.

 
April playing with Mommy.

April sliding down the slide. While looking adorable.

We could fit our CAR into the smallest of those engines.

Laura trying to give Kyle bunny ears and still look cute.
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, BLASTOFF!

To get to Disney World early we had to wake up at seven after going to bed at like TEN. So yeah welcome to our life.

 

The exactly a mile off you can see it. And I kept on saying that it was a mile off...

I wrote in BIG handwriting (for all you classmates and teachers that might be reading this and know about my tiny writing.) proclaiming the birthday girl's birthday.

 
All of us-except nine- on the ferry ride (which should have been spelled fairy) to the castle.

 
Us all on the ride. Look at the boys expressions. HA!

April remained like this through a lot of the day which I didn't think was possible when your in the Happiest Place on Earth!

My Aunt, Uncle and I (with  a bit of Laura's head) waiting for the Buzz Lightyear ride.

  
Uncle Eric looking like a little boy on Christmas day.

Laura on the Dumbo ride. A family favorite and classic.

Mom and I on the Dumbo ride.

Some of us lined up for the tea cup ride from Alice in Wonderland.

Almost everyone in front of the castle.

You can just see the disaster coming,can't you.

 

April in line for the Aladin ride.

Grandpa John,Peter, Dad and I on the Aladdin ride which we tilted and dove a amazing speeds.

Liz, Omi,Uncle Chris, Aunt Julie and April on the Aladdin ride. 

Us dipping backwards while going up. It ROCKED.

Grandpa John loves his Mickey ice cream a lot. So we had to get some. Though no objections arose. 

My Mickey ice cream.

To calm my brother's fears of the Haunted Mansion  we began to discuss It's a Small World. Peter asked what that was, my father responded " It's a ride scarier than the Haunted Mansion where all these demented people sing about how happy the world is." For all those lovers of It's a Small World no offense, he was just trying to make Peter feel better.

  

Peter was terrified the whole time...

April loved it.
We went on the Jungle Cruise where you are led along on a boat though Africa. 

Our guide was wonderful. She was funny and made tons of interaction. She offered to let Kyle and Laura drive the boat through a cave while she kept her eyes closed.

I feared for our lives when Laura got a hold of the wheel. 

Everyone on the boat.

Laura having a great time. Finally.

Four of the Five Things after the Jungle Cruise.

How many of you are familar with my Pinochio story. Well I had to play the Blue Fairy last year and let's just say  it's still a sore spot. A the beginning of the day I said I would run away from anything that had to do with that puppet. My hunger over came me. We ate at the Pinocchio resturant that night.

Did you know that Sleeping Beauty's castle changes color. Sorry for the poor picture.

We missed the 10:30 bus home so we had to wait for the 11:00 one. Peter was like this when it got there. 
Peter and Laura asleep on the bus. 

Funny story I learned later on: We sent flowers to my grandmother in the hospital. While we were in Disney World he told the sale guy or whoever to give them to Nancy Macmickey. Instead of Machnicki. See we're Disney fanatics. 

FYI: The Pirates of the Caribeian ride is not as good as it sounds.    

There you have it: the world's longest blog post. 

I Just Noticed...

I just realized that none of my links worked. Sorry about that. So I went back and fixed them all. If you find any that don't work tell me and I'll fix them as soon as possible. Sorry about the inconvenience. Have a nice week.    

The Last Olympian

I must confess, I'm terrified. But I'm also excited for May 5th, 2009.

Because of THIS:    

The Last Olympian Written by Rick Riordan. Released on May 5th, 2009. The last book in an AWESOME five book series.

But I'm scared too. Things might not cooperate with me. Here are a few ways that Rick Riordan could completely screw up the book and ruin the series. No pressure.

1. Percy could not beat Kronos- least of my worries

2. Luke could die

3. Rachel could continue to pop up and drive me completely insane- part of my biggest worry

4. Annabeth could continue to ignore Percy- one of my worst nightmares

5. There could be no good monsters- yeah right

6. Rick Riordan won't pick up right where he left off- for all of you who have read(and threatened to destroy) the Demigod Files that sneek peek could be from the middle of a chapter

  7. Nico doesn't play a large roll in the story- admit it, we all love poor Nico 

 8. We could NOT see Tyson

9. Percy could join Kronos- most likely that personal loyalty problem(it better be for Annabeth

10. Drum roll. Percy and Annabeth could not fall in love. My biggest fear along with a lot of other people. Really I would throw the book on the ground and throw a tantrum. No matter how late it is.

WARNING: Rick Riordan this is your final warning. If Annabeth and Percy don't get together you will PAY. I will hunt you down and torment you.    

P.S. One last worry. Annabeth might die. 

P.P.S. Go here to learn some cool things about The Last Olympian. Warning there are spoilers from Rick Riordan- so they are true.   

  

Surprise!

Here's what happens when your aunt turns 30: you along with 14 other people go to Orlando, Florida for a weekend!

On Thursday my dad woke me up at roughly around 5:30. When I made it downstairs the kids got a surprise. Our parents had been planning a trip to Orlando to meet up with pretty much all of the close (meaning actually related) family members on my mom's side plus on of my aunt's friends Liz. 

This was the first time that Peter and Laura had flown and the first time I could remember. There were 15 of us total-talk about traffic jam times 10. 

Here's the list of people that came on the  trip and their relation to me:

1. Mom
2. Dad
3. Peter-brother
4. Laura-sister
5. Uncle Eric-uncle
6. Aunt Xin- aunt
7. Kyle-cousin
8. Aunt Julie-aunt-birthday girl
9. Uncle Chris-uncle
10. April-cousin
11. Liz-friend  
    
12. Grandpa John-grandpa
13. Nana-grandmother
14. Omi-grandmother
15. Me

Sadly only 14 of us ended up really going "around" on the trip. Nana was stranded in the nicest hospital in the world with some stomach bug thing. Sorry Nana.

DAY ONE:

We flew into Houston where we met up with everyone- we were able to surprise Aunt Julie.  Major feat on our behalf. Then all FIFTEEN of us flew to Orlando.  There we checked into out wonderful, beautiful, fantastic, and swimming pool equipted resort room. Courtesy of Uncle Chris. 

DAY TWO:

Kennedy Space Center. We went on a close-up tour (us being Liz, Dad, Peter, Uncle Chris and I). Everyone in our group of five rode on the launch simulator- lots of fun. Ate and had a great time.

DAY THREE:

We went to Disney World (a.k.a the happiest place on Earth)!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a great time. The lines weren't too long and we learned that it is possible to lead 14 people through Disney World. Amazing. We were at the park all day long and we each had an amazing time. One of the suvinears that our family got was a group of little balls in the shapes of the Winnie the Pooh characters. Peter and Laura were begging for one so mom broke down and got them. My Eeor's tail comes off.  

I'll tell you more about the trip soon in Surprise Part II.  While your waiting check out my mom's blog  to hear more about the trip.  

Because I Felt Like It

I have nothing to say.  I have nothing to say. I have nothing to say. I have nothing to say.

Actually that's a lie. I don have something to say remember this post. Well this week was worse. I won't scare you with the number, all I'll say was that it was a LONG  week. 

I am so happy that this was posted today.

So What Happens When...

Today I(and my parents) made the biggest mistake of my life. I bought a certain book. A book that was proceeded AND succeeded by fits of trauma. This book is one I have been waiting for, for, well forever. 

The Demigod Files!

So I guess I better start at the beginning. Well I started by bribing and begging for the book. Then I waited until today to get it. My parents went through many pains to get it while I was at school. Then I read it. I have a hard time feeling let down about books. This one did it. So after how upset I was us of course I had to go and complain to my dad in my dramatic way. The conversation went on for a while first about the book then about whether Annabeth, one of the main characters, deserved some of the treatment she was getting. My parents were truly regretting getting my book.

Moral: Don't get this book. Post a comment and if you are anywhere near where I live I'll try to get it to you. But you better be nice to it. I still love these books though.

Next I have to get this:

Sorry I'll have to give you the picture later the computer isn't working. Sorry.
