thanksgiving

the farm wz so fun. i got there and only tommy wz up so we went and woke up all of my cousins, and then we all hung out for a while, played some videogames (like this one cool james bond one where i could be a helicoptor!!) and me and nohema marie made this crazy commerical, it wz funny. and totally redic. lol ola.. lol haha.

then we had thxgivin lunch, and it wz basically reallllly yummy. and colorful! my aunt nohema makes the best mashed potatoes ever, and those were delish. and there were also these delishious cranberries, but i cant eat too many or i feel cranberry overload. and aunt barb made cabbage, which sounds.. like eh, but it wz this beautiful color of purple so i took some and it wz actually pretty good. and also corn and fruit salad, and turkey of course, and gravy but the mashed potatoes ddont really need anything, and stuffing, which i actually ate this year. normally i dont like it but i decided to try some and it wz ok! hm yeah and thats basically it for lunch. oh and rolls!

then after lunch we all went out for a hike so it wz just me and christian and tommy and nohema marie and jared and sarah. so we went down to the pond and it wz frozen over so we went iceskating ish. it wz mostly just walking on the ice. the pond is prolly about as big as a fourth of the gym? there wz about an inch and a half to two inches of pure ice on top, so we were fine, but it did crack a bit when everyone wz on. but just menacing noises, no real breakage. and there were little fish still alive under the ice, and some were swimming around, and some were just hiding. tommy found this one pretty big one that wz aoubt the size of all your fingers together and we thought it wz dead bc it wz laying on its side until we saw it move a bit. and ahh it wz still alive, and i cant figure out if it wanted to be there or if it had gotten caught by the stick and the ever thickening ice.

so after hanging out there for a while, we went over to the creek, which wznt iced and we just navigated it going towards the cliffs. there wz a bunch of fallen trees to climb over and a few times we had to move some of them to places where we couldnt jump from sand bank to sand bank. and when we had to use waking sticks to help ballance freedom tried to eat the sticks. he has some wierd love of wood.. lol. like he will try to eat tree stumps and fallen logs and lol its just hilarious. cept when his chosen wood is the one you are using to precariously ballance on a log over ice cold water.. hahah. so we finally got to the part of the creek directly under the cliffs and tommy and christian built a log road/bridge/thing and crossed the creek and climbed up to the top. the threw down some huge trunks, and made the bridge better. now let me impress upon you the steepness of the cliff. when i say cliff i mean cliff. its like 75degrees vertical and its mosty loosly packed dirt and rock and some fallen logs or saplings trying to hang on for dear life. lol so anyways, its just a feat getting up,. and comming down is evn crazier. lol. so yea, that wz fun to see.

then we walked through this logging field ( gran and poppy had loggers come last summer and log some good trees for money ) and that wz fun bc its just like this field with tall grass and random logs to climb on top of. so before going back to the house we went back to the pond and we made thisp retty big hole inthe ice. it wz fun. so, we got back and decided to hav pie, (pumpkin, my mom made it and brought a bunch of pies) and play uno. it wz getting late so we played for a while and then had some flan, which aunt nohema makes realllly well, shes actually from mexico, so she is amazing at baking stuff like that. so we had flan, talked and played another game of uno and then it wz late and dark and we had to go home. and.. i guess i fell asleep in the car, but i really remember not falling asleep... like, i thought i wz still semi awake..? idk. but apparentley my mom asked me aquestion and i didnt answer.. so i guess i did fall asleep. it wz cool tho, bc i wz watching the stars, you can really see them well out on country roads. so yes, i got home, took a shower. and rachel says shell pick me up at 11:15 ish, bc we are going black friday shopping!!! YAY! and then i started typing this. whoooo. lol
