Vacation is fun

last week we had a week and half of vacation. Grandma and grandpa came to Colorado springs in there motor home, A.K.A the BIG BEAUTIFUL Awesomest motor home in the WORLD!!! The first day we came, hung out and talked and explored. Since it was a forest made of pine trees so there were a lot of pine cones on the ground. A lot. Our cousins were there too. Mason, the oldest is 16, and Tate is 11, I think, and Chloe is 6. Well, C.T and Tate found their base and J.Dude, J.Man and I found ours. Then the pine cone wars began! Oh it was fun! The other boys were both gone for some reason. I think they were inside. But When it was time to go home, C.T and I asked If we could stay. Dad promised us that we could tomorrow if it was okay with Grandma, witch of course, it was. So the next day, I packed my 1 foot long bag with a blanket, extra clothes, a pair of shoes, my comic bible, a tooth brush tooth paste, a hair brush, my contact case, solution etc. etc. then, we came to the woods, made our base a little stronger, came back out of the woods and talked for a while. Then, aunt Mitch asked us if we wanted to go to the ditch. so we all went to the ditch. A dried up stream that you could slide down on your feet. It was super except for the for the fact that it was really hard to get up cuz it was so slippery.


I'm getting kind of mixed up with when things started so It's not going to be exactly how it really was. Well they all wen to garden of the gods while Bird, Baby Z. Grandma and I stayed home.when they all came back Mom said "Next time we go with the Wingcuzins, your going." But dad said "you didn't miss much, just a bunch of big rocks."


The sleep over was really fun. But Tate got to come too. I feel uncomfortable sleeping with two boys. Now you must under stand,we were all dirty and gross but that was soon changed. Grandma told us all exactly how to use the shower and what everything was. C.T went first. Then Tate. Then me. It was a great shower. You could take down the sprayer and spray yourself. Then when we were all in our beds we watched book of secrets till midnight accidentally.


In the morning, we drove an hour all the way back to our house to get Lane so we could go to the hair salon. Turned out she changed her mind. Oh well. So I got my hair cut shoulder length and highlighted it. It was free cuz my great aunt owns it. Cloe went to and she wanted to get her highlights blue! Aunt Mitch said no but she was allowed to have one light blue strip of fake hair. It looks cute! Grandma and Aunt Mitch got their hair cuts too!



The next day it was decided that we would go rafting! We all loaded onto the bus while the guy told us what we were supposed to do. Then we got out. our guide told us places to sit and C.T and Tate volunteered to go in the front and I was the only one that didn't have to row and I got to sit in the middle of the front row. We moved into the rapids and the waves got rough! Aunt Mitch wore a splash jacket and was pretty upset when she got wet! When we got out of the rapids we almost tipped a couple times and as we moved past a big rock, the guide jumped of the boat onto the rock and into the water! It was funny. Grandpa was challenged to sit at the very edge in the front of the boat. He did, and after a while Aunt Mitch pushed him off!

Later, as in a couple of days later, Grandma wanted to take us to water world! But after dad gave us the reasons why not, we went to the Zoo instead. the Zoo,was a really close, really fun place to go to. It even had ant eaters, gonc, (Jess's word for a pelican) Penguins, black bears, brown bears, lemurs, and all sorts of things!
That night, or I think that night, they had to leave. *sniff* But vacatoin is fun.
