The First Night

Today, was an interesting night. For dinner, we had fried fish, french fries, and homemade cole slaw. We ate in two different groups; the people under 18 years old and the elders. Making the food wasn't super hard. The hardest part of the night was actually serving the dinner. Making food for twelve people is nothing the same as serving for twelve people. For starters, there were a total of seven children in the house, all at different ages. By the time we all actually finished dinner, it was about nine. We either ate chocolate cake or lemon cake with cookies and cream, apple pie, or strawberry ice cream. My cousin's sister from Dallas came over and visited for a couple of hours. Getting everybody to bed was a harder task. First, we had to move the couch in the media room to fit the air mattress in the middle of the room. Then, we had to get to futon in the game room fixed for the boys. Then we finally got to bed. Today was a hard day, but the bad thing is that there's still two days left for their visit.

Meeting the Family

My family just came and I am shocked because they are nothing how I thought they were. My cousin, that I just met for the first time, looks almost nothing like her mom. The oldest boy looks exactly like his dad and the last two look like a boy version of their mom. I was a little scared about how they would be like. The youngest one is probably the cutest little boy that I've ever seen. I will make sure to post some pictures of them. Give me hope!

OMG! I am so sore from trying out for volleyball this week. It was a four-day tryout with a total of 80 girls trying out. My thighs and feet hurt so much from running and jumping this whole week. In the end I didn't make the team, but I'm okay with that. There's always next year to try out. Today, my aunt, cousin, and her family is coming. She has THREE boys. The oldest is 11 so this is going to be a rough weekend for me. I can't wait till school starts again, cause I don't really want them to come. The house only has a total of four people and there's already six people in my family. That adds up to twelve people. It is going to be a chaotic weekend. Wish me luck!

The Wolverine

Today, my dad took my mom, sisters, and I to the movie theatre. We watched The Wolverine. It takes place in modern Japan where Wolverine reconnects with his old acquaintance, Yashida, and faces things that he's never faced before; both emotionally and physically pushed to the maximum. During this journey that will forever change his life, he meets Mariko and Yukio, both grand daughters of Yashida. I would recommend this movie to somebody who can watch movies that move slowly, but still have that little bit of action every now and then. I would rate this movie, from a 1-10 scale, a 5 because it started full of action and ended really dull.
