“If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run then walk. If you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do, keep moving forward.”-Martin Luther King Jr.
Yesterda Grandma took TQ and I to the lake with her friend and their grandchildren.
We’ve already been here so I really don’t know why Grandma took us but she did. We got there at about 10:25 and we walked up to the building where you get your tickets and there was no one there. Then we waited for about 20 minutes and then people started going up to the building and getting tickets, gladly we were in line on accident and got our tickets second. There were these 2 camps or kids on the boats. The first camp had orange shirts and the kids look like they were in 5th, 6th and maybe 7th grade. The other camp had beige shirts and the kids looked like they were in 4th grade although most of them looked like they were in 1st grade. The second we stepped on the boat Grandma led us to the very top and we stayed there until the boat started moving. We went down to eat but they hadn’t opened up yet so we just bought to bags of popcorn and walked back to the top. We were only gone for like 5 minutes but we were pretty far from the dock. Once the first floor opened up we bought 3 hot dogs and a water bottle. We finished that pretty quickly since we hadn’t eaten anything since we woke up except cereal. Then we just kept going back and forth buying chips, soda and candy to keep ourselves entertained. We got the drawbridge but it didn’t open for some reason and the dude over the intercom told us there was some problem. We turned around and headed for the border but turned around almost immediately. I didn’t see it, but the bridge was up and open. While going under, me and TQ went downstairs and just drank soda. Then Grandma told us to come to the second floor and sit with her. It was hot so we sat near the fan and just joked around for most of the time. Then once the boat turned around and was near the bridge, which was closed, the boat just stopped. We just sat there for about 50 minutes until a really long train passed by and we waited more. Grandma then told me to ask someone what was happening. I didn’t really want to but I asked this girl and she said that we were waiting for another train(the train was passing by as we talked) to pass by but we haven’t made any contact with them. Then after that second train passed the bridge finally opened and everyone was cheering and clapping. After we went to the dock we got off and headed home. However Nam’s dad took us to Ryan’s house about 2 hours later. Ryan just played the XBox whiles E watched, Khang played Minecraft and Nam watched anime. Me, TQ and Bien didn’t bring our iPads so we just watched in silence and gave comments every 10 seconds to entertain us. I got bored so I took a bar of chocolate and went outside on the trampoline. I just sat there eating chocolate and thinking of what to do. After finishing the chocolate Nam’s dad gave ,e a firefly and I threw it up cause apparently they fly if you do. I then kept catching fireflies and throwing them. Then I thought of a plan that kinda grossed me out. I would catch the fireflies with my right hand and put them in my left hand. Then once I had about 20 I would throw them and they would light up. I did this and it was pretty cool and fun, but the thing is, once I threw them up some didn’t go up they just stayed on my hand and climbed up my arm. Some went to my fingertips and flew but I was grossed out by how many I caught so I just shook my hand really really hard. When I went inside nothing really changed, I watched Ryan play, Khang played Minecraft and Nam watched anime. I was bored of watching Ryan so I just watched anime with Nam. Ryan lost connection so he took Bruno(TQ’s stuffed dog)and ran around the house while TQ and Bien chased him around. Then I think Bruno got thrown around and TQ couldn’t find him so TQ forced Ryan to help find him since he was also the reason why Bruno was missing. Then we all got pretty bored so we looked for the parents and they were in the hot tub. Then they got out and we left. We got home around 12:30 and I straight up brushed my teeth, changed, brushed my hair and went to sleep.
