i'm back, did ya miss me? .......didnt' think so
well, as you can prolly tell, i survived to make it back to you guys. ok, about my trip. the first day there (mon), we sort of sat around talking a bit about things that've been going on since we saw each other last (booorrrrriiiiing). i went downstairs with my brother and patrick. they played dance dance revolution. i watched. then my sister and julia came in and watched. i thought my brother was good at that game, but patrick kicked his ass. that kid's insane (he's 10 yrs old too). sean (my bro) said it's because he's lower to the ground so he doesn't have to use as much energy to move. patrick scored B or higher on the heavy setting on four of the more difficult songs. then we watched some of the olympics (swimming and men's gymnastics)
they didn't have enough beds for all of us, so i slept in the recliner. i didn't sleep very well though. everytime i rolled over, the chair would fold up on me again. my brother was on the couch-bed thing (it folds out), so the other nights, i took the couch cushions and made a bed on the floor to sleep on.
tuesday morning, we got up about 8am (ick) and sat around waiting for the air conditioner guy to come fix it. after he was done we left for silverwood. we got there about 1pm. we finished at the water part of the park around 3pm (i was ready to leave then. i hadda headache since the night before that wasn't going away), but everyone else wanted to go to the roller coasters and things. i sat around and watched them riding. i went on the white water rafting ride thing though. we left there around 5pm and got dinner at shari's on the way home. at home we played dead or alive beach volleyball for a couple of hours (the things you can do with the camera in that game are pathetic. not very difficult to guess what gender came up with that idea. my brother had fun zooming in on various areas of the girls...hehe). after that we watched the olympics (i think it was swimming and women's team gymnastics).
wednesday morning i was up at 8 again. we went to the seattle seahawks practice. it was kinda fun, but i'd never heard of most of the people there, and i'm not much of a seahawks fan anyway. it was fun to screw around anyway though. patrick got a little seahawk's football thing he brought with him signed by a bunch of the players. julia (cousin), caitlin (sister), and my dad all got some signatures too. we left from the practice and went to some scrapbooking stores mom wanted to go to (booorrrriiiinnnng). then we wandered around the mall. i didn't find anything worth buying though, so i hung around the arcade watching patrick playing. then we went home and watched some more of the olympics (swimming and men's individual all around gymnastics). we also watched a bit of the world poker tour. the guys in that game are crazy....a small bet is more than twice what i made last year.
this morning i got home, took a shower, and got on the computer to wwait for rebecca to get home from wwork or wherever it is she's at. tonight i'll watch the end of the swimming events and the women's individual all around gymnastics thingy.
i'm so tired right now. i'll prolly wind up going to bed early too. that headache i had all week is still there, but not as bad as it was when i left.
(sorry 'bout the long post)
