We had a good fall break, it gave us all a little chance to relax and take a breather for a few days.
On Friday night, our cousin, Brittany, invited Olivia and I to this church youth group called Northbeach. It was tons of fun! There was a little free time before the worship service started. They had skeeball, and those car racing machines like you see at Chucky Cheeses. They also had air hockey and video games. The service was shorter than I expected, it was about an hour long. We sang some songs, and the leader spoke about how we should "stink" like a Christian.
He also spoke about God's will for us, and how we should listen to Him, so that when the time comes that God will use us for His glory, we'll be ready.
He used some funny comparisons. We bought dinner there, we had chicken nuggets.
We also got free soft drinks! Then some people got up on stage and did karaoke, and there was more free time. It ended at about 9:30. Olivia and I both liked it a lot, but we have to miss it this week. :(
The rest of out fall break was pretty boring, in a good way. ;)

Don't kill the little babies!!!
We went to church yesterday.
Mrs. Blanchard talked about some hard subjects such as abortion and other things.
She also talked about how the Bible says those things are wrong, like when people abort a baby, they're actually killing it. The baby is formed and can feel. How sad is that? When a baby gets aborted, it screams silently in the womb. She says that she'll bring in a movie called, "The Silent Scream." An apt name, don't you think?
It shows a baby being aborted in the first trimester. I saw it online, and it's so sad, but it also shows some very graphic pictures of aborted babies AFTER they come out of the womb. Let's just say that it's not for all ages, I got freaked out and I watched it on a two-inch screen. I've always thought that abortion was wrong, I knew it was killing a baby, but I didn't know how they did it. But now I think abortion is completely wrong and should be illegal EVERYWHERE! It's so inhumane how they kill those little babies. And as gross as I thought it was, it still made me want to cry.
Mrs. Lanna said that people have come to think that abortion is no big deal. That people think that the babies aren't alive until they come out of the womb. That's so sad...
Okay, moving on, I got to pray for lunch.
And after Bible study, the Blanchards and us went to Moe's.
It's like Taco Bell only a LOT better. We had lots of fun.

Go hither!
*Let's go to Ye Old Root Beer Shop*
*It's just over yonder hill*
*No, go hither and yon*
*Okay*
On Saturday, we went to, "The Feast of the Hunter's Moon."
It was pretty cool, after we all finally got there. (Lesson learned: Don't believe Mr. Blanchard for directions!)
We also had to park a far ways away form the entrance, in the so-called "handicapped parking." (Right...)
It was CROWDED!!!! I didn't think there were going to be that many people there!
Then we couldn't find the Blanchards anywhere, and we couldn't call them because we had no signal on our cellphones.
So we looked all around for them, meanwhile, my Mom is mad at my Dad because he didn't bring enough money.
Olivia and I went off to look for the Blanchards, and THEY FREAKED US OUT!!! They came up behind us and jumped on our backs! After that, we all stayed together. We got to see a person swallow fire, which was cool. We also saw a clown.
The whole place reminded me of an outdoor market with a twist. (It's set in the 1700s, you know)
There were shops-a-plenty. Olivia bought a ring, and Claire bought a yo-yo. We got to share a bottle of non-carbonated root
beer. It was good! I got to keep the bottle. We saw these old men who were yodeling, or singing, or something, they scared me and Olivia. And...We got to see a cannon firing off! It was really, really loud. We also saw this sheepdog who herded some sheep, and at the very end, before we left, we saw these people juggling knives, balls, and bats. Not so extraordinary, eh? Well they did that while they were balancing on teeter-totters. They were pretty funny, too. They kept cracking jokes and making people laugh. Oh, and Mr. Blanchard kept telling us to go hither and yonder. He's silly.After we left, (and went back to civilization and the 21st century) we went to Pizza Hut for dinner with the Blanchards. Overall, the day was fun!

A Family Reunion
Yesterday, we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house
because our cousins from New Jersey were there. We hadn't seen them in a year!
We got to leave in the middle of the church service!
Our cousins Anna, Betsy, and Paul were there, so were my Aunt Patti and Uncle Jon.
Paul and I are very similar, we like most of the same things, and we even look a little bit alike. My Aunt Jenny came too. We hadn't seen her in a while either. It was like a family reunion! She brought all these blankets and bags over that she had made. The girls picked some out to take home. She loves to sew and make things. Also, she thought that I was Paul! Can you believe it?! It was kind of funny. Of course, she hasn't seen me since I got contacts. We had sandwiches for dinner,
and jello with whipped cream for dessert. Yum! We watched a little bit of
"Who Wants to be a Millionare" and "Law and Order."
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. My cousin who just got married came over with his wife and son. Him and the babies played baseball in the backyard. We all had a great time.

Andy and Ky
I just got two new foster-brothers on Friday.
Their names are Andy and Ky (short for Kynan). Andy is 5 and Ky is 3.
Andy is sharing a room with me. Mom says that this is like a "missions trip"
for me, only I don't have to go anywhere. Because I can be an influence for Andy.
Ky is sharing a room with Gabriel. They sometimes fight over toys.
Andy loves dinosaurs! They both love Spiderman and Buzz Lightyear. Andy and Ky are very similar to eachother.
Andy has blond hair and blue eyes, and Ky has brown hair and big brown eyes.
Ky looks a lot like his parents, I think. Ky loves to give people hugs, it's so cute.
The day that they came, they went out with Dad and bought some new toys.
They got a car that has a snake in it, (it pops out) and they got this wooly mammoth.
Andy says that he's been looking for it.
Boy, were they were both excited, you should've seen them!
We brought them to the park, and people wre like, "They're so cute!"
I think it'll be fun having them with us.
