Maryland!

Sorry I haven't been doing any posts lately is because I have been very busy. One of the reasons I have been busy is... Last Thursday (4/30/09) we were getting our bags packed and getting ready to go to Maryland for Alumni. My mom knew it was going to be a long ride so at 7:30 a.m. she took us to the school so we could ride our bikes at the track. It was fun. Then we came back and packed some more. Finally at 10:00 a.m. we left for Maryland. It was a long 7 hour trip. Finally around 5:00 p.m. we made it to the Eklunds house. But they weren't there yet! We had to wait about 10 minutes then they made it. The first thing we did was all play DS. Siera and Isabella (Their Kids) both had DS's just like Josh and me. Then we played hide and go seek. Siera and me VS. Josh and Isabella.  Oh yeah I forgot to tell you Siera is twelve and Isabella is eight. Then we just played more DS. Then we had dinner. It was pizza and corn on the cob. Mmm... and it was delicious! Then we went to bed. The next morning we played more DS and then we went to IHOP with Emma and Sophie since their dad went to school in Maryland too. Siera went to school but Isabella stayed home and came to IHOP with us because she wasn't feeling so well. Soon after IHOP we went to a really awesome place called Gettysburg! where a big civil war battle was fought. Emma and I got off at almost every stop to take pictures. There was this little house thing that had like 20 flights of stairs. There were some really cool Monuments. At the end Josh Sophie and Isabella came out too. To see the really cool castle. then it was over. It was great day. Saturday was a busy day. No DS because of the Sabbath. So we just hung around and waited for some of the grown ups to come back from the big Alumni church thing. Then we went to the big Alumni party. Guess who we saw there. Christain and Livea! It was  awesome we had a big ice fight then we had to leave it was sad. After that we went to UNO's. I got some pizza! Josh and I split a HUGE Reece's Pieces Butter Cup Cake dessert. Umm. It was SO SO SO good! After that we went back to the house and went to bed. The next Morning was Sunday the last day we would be staying with Siera and Isabella. We said goodbye and left. Our vacation was Not over yet but it was close. We went to the nursing home where my great grandmother was. We dropped my dad off so he could talk to her. Me, my mom and Josh went to get her some food. We went to the California pizza kitchen and the Cheesecake factory to get her some food. (At the Cheesecake Factory we got a slice of cheesecake!) The because we were so good we got to go to Game Stop to get a game for our DS's. Mine was called Mario Kart DS's! and Josh's game was called Pacman. Then we went back to the nursing home. After we were done we went to Luke's house. For dinner we had a pinini sandwich. Then we went to bed. In the morning we had to go. It was a super trip. Have you ever been to Maryland?
