Tuesday, 7/13

I did laundry while Aunty went to work and Uncle went out with Mikey. I'm all packed! Aunty hasn't started yet. I just have to clean my room. We leave for Chicago-Boston early tomorrow!

Goodbye Uncle Aaron!

Monday, 7/12 - Cedar Point the IV

I started out the day going to Aunty's library and watching a movie on a laptop (NO studying!). When Aunty was done we drove to Cobblestone so I could have lunch with Cookie and Aunty could go to her dentist appointment. We had lunch at SORRENTO'S. We did a little shopping at MIDWAY MALL before picking up Casi.

OK so its actually the 5th time I'm going to Cedar Point but this time Casi joined me! We got there late around 6 p.m. but we were lucky to get on a lot of rides! The lines were pretty short except for Top Thrill Dragster. We stayed until they closed all the rides shutdown. We had a lot of fun!

A whole day of doing nothing! Well I watched a Hanna Montana marathon on the Disney Channel while Aunty slept. We ended up not going shopping but we did get ice cream from HERSHEY'S ICE CREAM.

Saturday, 7/10 - Shopping day

We went to AURORA FARMS PREMIUM OUTLET MALL to do some shopping. Aunty needed a dress for a wedding. She found a couple of dresses at a good price and I found some tanks, shirts and a sweater.

We had lunch at TREICHEL'S GRILLE.

Thursday, 7/08

Study, study again!

Wednesday, 7/07 - Despicable Me

Aunty took me, Michael, Luis and Eilyn to see a pre-screening of DESPICABLE ME in 3-D. I loved the movie! It was the best one yet!

I don't know what happened but my slipper broke and I lost my cell phone temporarily. But all is well now.

Tuesday, 7/06

Back to studying all day! I have to keep up so I can go to the movies tomorrow.

Monday, 7/05 - Amish country

First we went to SMUCKER'S. Uncle was excited! He always wanted to come here. He eats toast with peanut butter and jelly almost every morning!




Next stop was LEHMAN'S HARDWARE. They had all kinds of stuff in there, including a portable toilet I wanted.

We started getting hungry and went to FARMSTEAD RESTAURANT for a good old-fashioned Amish meal -- roast beef and noodles and fried chicken.

Michael, Luis and his sister Aileen

We drove all over trying to find YODER'S AMISH HOME. We took a tour of how they live. I thought that I would like to live like the Amish until I saw the outhouse and the creepy bedrooms.





I loved visiting the barn -- they had all kinds of animals, even Beagle puppies! The 5-day old bunny scratched my finger so a lady on our tour gave me anti-bacterial gel to use. Aunty ran out of that stuff.

Uncle and I even got a buggy ride!

Sunday, 7/04 - Happy 4th

[See link to Da Brlas Daily]

Saturday, 7/03 - Stalking celebrities

So I was busy studying and Aunty comes running in the room saying one of the Eclipse cast members were making an appearance at Crocker Park and Valley View theaters this afternoon. She said we should check it out in case it's Taylor Lautner so I stopped my studies and got ready. We decided we didn't want to go see the movie over again just to see who was showing up so we waited outside of the theater complex in hopes he would come out the back door. We saw a black SUV with tinted windows parked there and other fans were waiting around there by the time we reached Crocker Park. So it wasn't Taylor but one of the werewolves -- Bronson Pelletier who plays Jared.

Aunty insisted I go ahead and take a picture of him with my cell phone. Uncle took the camera on his biking trip and Aunty couldn't figure out who to work her phone camera. I got a picture of him crossing the street before he met up with fans. He signed autographs and took pictures with avid fans before hopping into the SUV. I wanted to drive to Valley View next and do it all over again but Aunty said she wanted to go shopping instead. I couldn't refuse that!

Studying, what?

Friday, 7/02 - Eclipse

I went to Oberlin College to study today since Uncle was going to bike before work early. Plus we are going to see ECLIPSE right after work. Michael and Luis joined us.

After Aunty took us to Minh Anh, a Vietnamese restaurant for dinner. I had fried rice and a noodle dish with vegetables and meats. I was tired so I fell asleep at the restaurant and in the car. Oh boy.

Thursday, 7/01

Aunty had Michael and Luis over for pizza and movies. They wanted to watch TWILIGHT and NEW MOON before we go and see Eclipse tomorrow. I didn't like Twilight so I went outside and rode my bike for awhile. I came back in to watch New Moon.

Aunty's so silly making noises when Jacob is on screen. Michael too.

Wednesday, 6/30 - Today's Bike Ride

Today I finished my homework early in the morning!!! So the whole day I hung out with Uncle Aaron. I played some PS3 video games for awhile.
So we decided to eat some lunch and walk the dogs. While Uncle was walking the dogs I rode my bike all around. Then I decided to clean my room because it was messy.

When Aunty came home we drove to WEST SIDE MARKET to get some really good food. Uncle Aaron wanted to go there because the place where got our food because it was Man vs Food. The gyro was big and ONO. I loved it.

When we came back home and forgot to go to the library. We were also going to go biking again. So we got ready. Once I finish drop off Aunty at home, and the movies and books we went biking at BURR OAK STATE PARK. We went really far. I was having fun until BOMB we crashed and I got hurt. At least I didn't cry. :). I'm fine I can still ride my bike. So we came home and took shower.



We watched STAR TREK. Then our day ended with sleeping.

Tuesday, 6/29

I sneeked in a little studying before Uncle, Aunty, Michael and Kiran headed out for a night out. We ran late but made it in time to have a fast dinner at QUAKER STEAK AND LUBE in Valley View. We headed over to the Cinemark theater to see a free pre-screening of THE LAST AIRBENDER. Long lines were forming up but we thought it was for the Twilight and New Moon evening showings and the Eclipse premiere midnight shows. But one long line was for our movie! Luckily we didn't have to stand in line long and got in before they stopped letting people in.

I loved the movie! We even got to see it in 3-D!

Sunday, 6/27 - Walking Keala

Uncle and I took Keala to DUCK POND PARK today. I saw horses and birds and rabbits.




This shelter is stinky! I think there's a dead animal nearby.

Saturday, 6/26

More studying! I was so busy doing my questions, I forgot that I was invited to Carly's birthday pool party. But I'm catching up with my assignments!

Friday, 6/25

Study, study, study!

Thursday, 6/24

Since I'm falling behind in my studying we didn't go to Cedar Point! Both math and social studies are hard and long! Uncle Aaron BBQ'ed hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner.

Wednesday, 6/23 - Opera night

After work and studying, we drove to PANERA BREAD for lunch and OLD NAVY to shop. We hung out at Borders before attending Met in HD presentation of ROMEO ET JULIETTE opera. It was my first time to an opera. I liked it!
