The Last Month of my Life.

My month long journey has come to an end. I had a wonderful and relaxing time! 

Here is a quick recap: 

I went swimming, rode a golf kart, and listened to story of collage experiences at The Hanner's house.
(pictures in a previous blog).

I  was reconnected with old friends, played with a Variety of animals, rode on the gator though "organic disneyland", and watched as my sister happily slaughtered a bunch of poor defenseless chickens on the Fout's homestead. 










Memories flooded my mind as we made a pit stop at Trader Joes. We walked away with a stash of goodies to be devoured.

We shopped til' we dropped, look at tons of old photographs, and got some rest at my grandparent's house. 

And as an added bonus, we saw lions, and tigers, and bears.... Oh my... At the  St. Louis zoo. 

Then we left.
My sister and I slept, watched movies, and ate for the whole first half of the trip home. It wasn't until nightfall, that we came out of our "car trip coma."
Shortly after dinner we faced  heavy rain. Like, a massive down poor of water. I drove though part of it. It was a nerve racking experience! After about an hour of standing intensely at the road my parents thought that it would be a good idea for dad to drive. So we pulled into a gas station. It was only after I got out of the driver's seat and walked all the way to the restrooms that I realized that my hands were nervously shaking. It got So bad that we stopped at a rest station for about 15 - 20 minuets. Oh, and did I mention this was all happening at night?

After the rain had lightened up we got moving again. My dad (who was still driving at this point) was really tired because he had been driving practically all day. So he traded with my mom, I moved up to the front seat (another set of eyes is a good thing at night), and I happily ate skittles, drank  Mountain Dew, and listened to my iPod all the way home! :)

I am faced with a busy week ahead.
The homeschool convention is this weekend. We have doctors, dentist, and chiropractic appointments.  Summer camps at my mom school starts next week. We need to pick up out bird from our friends house where he has been staying at. We have friends to see and places to be. Busy, busy bees.
