Milford memories fair



On Saturday I had blue ( food colored) waffels for breakfast and then we drove to Milford memories fair and looked around. There was one stand with recycled fur coats made into tedddy bears and fluffy hair ties. Then we ate lunch at Taco Bell and when we got home we played DDR ( I'm getting better) and then we went into the pool and stayed there for a while until we got cold. Then we just chillaxed and in the evening we watched ^................^.

Frankenmuth

On Friday we got up at 7 o'clock , ate breakfast and drove an hour to Frankenmuth, which is a bavarian village which was built in 1885. We walked around and went in some of the shops, including a chocolate store, where I bought a couple chocolate covered marshmallows. The lady at the store let us try a sample of ^ a chip munk^, which is chocolate which crushed potatoe chips. It was delicious. Then we went in several souvenir shops, walked across the wooden bridge , I got a gigantic piece of gum, and went home. At home we ate lunch with Caitlin's grandparents, who were watching Max and went swimming. Then we had homemade pizza for dinner and then we had a nice camp fire and we made jiffy pop, which is popcorn made over a fire. And we had s'mores. :) The pictures around the camp fire didn't turn out too good. I had my hoody over my head and my sun glasses , so I looked like Eminem ( a rapper). Then Erin, Aubrey and I watched ^ Ella Enchanted^----> a good movie, and when it was over Aubrey was already asleep, so she slept downstairs with me.












































Relaxing at home




On Thursday we stayed home, went in the pool, played with Max and relaxed. In the evening we were going to have a camp fire , but when we had everything set up it started raining and so we watched ^ Agent Cody Banks 2^.

Baseball





















Today I slept late, then sang a little and then it was already time for lunch. I had Mac&Cheese.
We left at about 2:30, drove to Detroit,took the people mover to this place with fountains and saw the bridge going to Canada and Canada's coast side. Then we took the people mover to Greek town and ate at a Greek restaurant called Pegasus. The waitress came with two plates, lit them on fire and yelled ^hupa^ . That was awesome!!! Then we went to the car to get our rain coats just in case it rained. It was really humid that day and there were dark clouds everywhere. So we went to the baseball game: Detroit tigers vs. Tampa Bay Devil Rays. We had really good seats. They were high up, but they were right behind the batter. It was a really good game and the tigers won 9:6. We left before it was over because we didn't want to get run over by the crowd. We got home at around 10:30 and watched one of my favorite movies called ^ What a girl wants^. Then we went to bed.

Hard labour







When I woke up on Monday the first thing I saw was Max's snout in my face.....so cute!!!! We played DDR, then SingStar and while Caitlin's parents went to the store we filled in the spaces between the path leading to the pool. In order to do that we had to drive with the lawn mower to the back of the yard, load stones into a little carry-on thing then spray them off and then fill them in the gaps in the walk path. It was fun. When we were done I sprayed myself without intention.
Then when it got nicer we went into the pool and then we made Shish-Kabobs. It was so good that after dinner I was stuffed.
Afterwards Caitlin and I played cards and then we played DDR. We called it a night because we were really tired.

Fondue


On sunday we slept late. When I woke up it was raining outside- the first rainy day since I've been here. We played with Max, played SingStar in teams for a while , while Caitlin's mom and dad set up their new flat screen TV. It's amazing!!! It has a diameter of over a meter !!!! Around 4 o'clock we went to Meijers which is similar to Walmart, just bigger. I got lots of post cards, mascara and some gum there. When we came back we unloaded the groceries and started helping cutting cake, bread and strawberries up for the fondue we were going to have. The first course was dipping pieces of bread and apples into a cheese fondue. The second course was dipping chicken, beef, shrimp, and mushroom into hot oil, and the third course was dipping bananas, strawberries and pieces of cake into a chocolate fondue. It was so good that we couldn't stop eating and afterwards we were totally stuffed. After dinner I sang while Aubrey played the piano and then the whole family sat down in the living room to watch an old movie called ^Overboard^ which is cool. After Caitlin's parents and Caitlin had gone to bed, Aubrey , Erin , Max( the dog), and I started watching a Jackie Chan movie. After brushing our teeth and so on we all slept in front of the TV.

Greenfield village


On thursday we went to Greenfield village which is a village with old, historical buildings in it. There is a printing press house, a glass house and many others and when you go in you can find people dressed up in an old-fashioned way and they tell you how people lived in older days. It was very interesting , but walking aroud it was really hot. After eating lunch we went to the Henry Ford museum and saw ots of really cool stuff like fancy cars: , the car John F. Kennedy was assasinated in, lots of awesome guitars and cars of famous musicians.
Then we went to Caitlin's grandparents house and hung out there with one of her cousins. After about 1 and a half hours we went back home and went into the pool.In the evening we watched ^ Catch me if you can^ which is a good movie.
