Friday June 26
We talked about how you guys went to Ritas when you first found out about the baby. You guys got the same flavor and me and Ray got the same flavor. It was pouring rain. I think we mighta watched Parks and Rec.
Saturday June 27
Um, we bought a bunch of wood to make a shelf. And I got to hold the yellow screws (there was a fight over green and yellow options). We, um, went out to the garden, and like, stone and stuff. Ray found the Rumble Stone edgers, and we bought them to make a sidewalk thing. I remember when we carried down the wood I(Sam) got a splinter. I(Ray) played Legos. Elizabeth did a ducky craft. At Grandma Vicki's we ate hot dogs. She had pretty much all the flavors of chips. That shall be it.
Sunday June 28
We saw the beavers. We saw the elephants. We might of saw the new elephant. We saw a dog hanging out with the cheetah, and we got to go inside the airplane by the lions. Sam and dad worked on landscaping. I (Sam) remember there was a huge horsefly. Me and Sam played legos. Didn't we play Disney Infinity for 30 minutes or so? Mara pizza and Back to the Future night was awesome.
Monday June 29
I (Sam) got those super sparklers that seemed to go on forever. I (Ray) got three packs of pop-its. There was a mini flood in the parking lot, it was pouring rain. Wasn't that the day we restarted our Disney Infinity level? We got a new frost giant and Sam built an enemy wave generator. At Putt-Putt, I (Sam) got a hole-in-one. Dad got three holes-in-one. That equals four. (Pretty sure Eliz got one too). Ray knocked his ball off the course. Oh yeah, we got to do the other (south) course. We couldn't do the batting cages because they were too wet. Elizabeth almost got the hole-in-one on the final round.
Tuesday June 30
Alum Creek park had the crazy hexagon climbing thing. There was the light game. I (Ray) thought I heard a snake, so we talked about snakes for a little bit. Wasn't that the one with the super wobbly bridge? It made me fly up in the air. Jojo was the leader of the park, to build it. Jojo was the king of the park! (The boys made my lunch, it was a nice turn of events. We then held a tribute afternoon to my Grandma Morrisey). Sam was the only one that got a Yahtzee, 'cause last year he was the only one that didn't. The 5th Avenue candy bars were good, awesome, sick, achoo-achoo.
Wednesday July 1
We walked there (Jaycee Pool) and Grandma Vicki met us there. The pool was cold. I (Sam) went down the slide twice with dad. There was a little boy that kept throwing a Barbie doll into the pool. I (Ray) got soaked. We drove home in Grandma Vicki's car. At Star Lanes, I (Ray) got 75 tickets. Jojo came! We got Lexi a blue snake (she was home sick). Dad got 12 tickets. Pacman was fun, I (Ray) ate the most things in Pacman. Jojo came! You guys ordered the same thing and we ordered the same thing. I (Ray) tried buffalo (sauce). We didn't go bowling that time. I'm (Eliz) amazing at basketball.
Thursday July 2
Thursday was that day that we started Level 20, and it's gonna be awesome. We went to Grandma Charlottes and had a squirt gun fight, and we played with the doggie, and the doggie made a hole in our ball. Winston knocked over the gate when we had pizza. I had two cupcakes. That night we watched Back to the Future II, and it froze for like 15 minutes. Doc got shocked by lightning, it was awesome.
Friday July 3
We went to the Newark pool and fireworks. And we went to Felicia's mama and dada's house. I (Sam) went down the one slide, but not the other one that was crazy. I (Ray) went down the kiddy slide. Jojo was tossing Hulk in the water and I was diving for it. I (Ray) made it all the way across the pool. Jojo was making me do flips, I learned how to do a corkscrew. We went to the fireworks, and I (Ray) made a big chain. Before the fireworks I was looking at fireflies. We did races, but we only did two head-to-head because Sam was grumpy. You (Ray) started one of them when he said "set". (That night Ray fell asleep standing up in my parents driveway. He fell into Jojo's car and remained asleep on their driveway for a minute).
Saturday July 4
We woke up at Grandma Vicki's, we ate cookie pancakes. We went to Maxtown park and Galena park and did sparklers. We had Wendy's for lunch. Then we went to Nana Sherry's and Papa Craig's. We swam and had burgers. Then we swam again. Me and Ray both figured out how to get the diving toys from the deep end of the pool (6 ft). We had a jumping contest to see who could make the biggest splash. We soaked my towel. We did sparklers that evening. Dad said that we could do some snakes when it's sunny out to see if they glow and stuff. We watched fireworks for a half an hour. I (Ray) did all three packets of my pop-its. Those super-sparklers lasted for like, I don't know, 3-4 minutes or so. It was crazy. I (Ray) did two sparklers at once.
Sunday July 5
Today we talked about memories. We're going to relax and watch Back to the Future III. Ray: Staycation was happy, sick, amazing, cool. My favorite part was when we went to the Zoo-hoo-hoooooooo. And then 4th of July. And that shall be it. Sam: Staycation was thrilling. My favorite part was Putt-Putt because the main reason was we got to do the new court.
