Six Flags

While I was in New Jersey, I went with Katie, Megan, John, Israel, Megan's dad, and brother Micheal. It was so much fun. We went on almost ALL of the big rides. I was so proud of my self for not chickening out. I even put my hands up on some of the big roller coasters. Everyone was so much fun. I really hope we all can do it again.

Katie, Me, and Megan. It was raining and we got soaked.
We went on the tea cups three times in a row. It was pretty fun. We were all laughing so hard. I am really surprised we all didn't get sick. It was a ton of fun.

Today we went to Greenwood Lake. We first went to the beach and played in the sand. Jeff does not like putting his feet in the sand. It was pretty funny. He was sitting on my lap and Sadie took his shoes off, so he was like balancing on me so he wouldn't touch the sand. Later on he started walking around. We saw some ducks and they came really close to Jeff and I. Then we made some really big feet prints in the sand. Scott tried to make a bridge.

Then for dinner we went to Doc's pizza or something like that. They had REALLY good fries. They were so good. We then went to the cutest ice cream place with a really great view. The ice cream was homemade and really really good. You could tell it was a really popular place, because it was kind of out of the way, but it was really busy. There were at least 30 or more cars out front. I would really like to go there again some day. It was really fun.

After that we went back to the lake and watched fireworks over the lake. It was pretty cool to see them with the reflection in the water. There was so much smoke though, you couldn't really see the fireworks. So that was kind of a bummer. Poor Jeff was so tired, and scared, because there were people right by us doing some really big ones, the type they do in the show, that were really loud, it scared him so bad. He just clung to me. He even grabbed my had to cover his ears and eyes. I felt so bad for the little guy. So we went home early, but it was a great day. Very relaxing and fun. I hope we can do it again some time.

The Fourth of July

Yesterday for the Fourth, we got together at the church with some of people from the ward. I really like their ward, it really is just one big family. We ate tons and tons of food. I learned how to play the Mexican Train and Ticket to Ride. I was so close to winning both of those games. It was so much fun. Then we were all going to go watch fireworks, but instead we played volleyball. We all had so much fun. We might get together and play Volleyball again. We all just had such a good time. Hope you all had an amazing Fourth of July.

Bronx Zoo

On July 2nd we went to the Bronx Zoo, and we went with one of Sadie's friends Ruth. She as four little kids. It was free since we went on Wednesday, so it was REALLY busy. We really didn't see to many animals. It was just so crowded. We did see a polar bear, Jeff really liked that. We also went through the world of darkness, and saw bats, alligator looking animals, and mini monkeys.

Where we stopped for lunch there were lots of animals in this area behind us. That is were we saw the most animals. There were monkeys, birds, deer sort of things, all in the same area. Jeff and the other kids that went with us just sat on the fence the whole time just memorized. It was so fun to watch them.

Statue of Liberty

On July 1st we went to Liberty State Park to see the Statue of Liberty. It was a perfect day too. It wasn't so hot. We took lots of pictures and watched people go crabbing on the pier. Jeff loved it. We played on the jungle gym, and ran around. To get a better look and the Statue of Liberty and the city we looked through binocular things. It was really cool. I loved it. Someday I would really like to go onto Liberty Island and go on a tour through the Statue of Liberty. Well I just really had a lot of fun.

Palisades

Yesterday I went to Palisades with Anna. It was the biggest mall I have ever seen. It had a Ferris wheel and a carousel on the inside, and every store you could possibly think of. We had so much fun. In one store that sold wedding and prom dresses, we went and picked out dresses for each other to try on. Mine was really really puffy. It felt like one hundred pounds. It was really pretty, if only it had sleeves and didn't cost a fortune. Anna's was a wedding dress. It was really gorgeous on her. We had a blast.
