Mountain's, Waterfalls, and How To Have Fun Changing The Oil.

My Dad was very happy with his Father's Day's present this year.  We all put our money together and bought him a laptop.  He has been wanting his own computer for a while now, so he was very pleased with this gift.  The next day he and I booted it up to watch Terminator Salvation.  It worked great.

For Father's Day we all went to Pinnacle Mountain.  This mountain is over one thousand feet tall.  My Dad, older sister, and I hiked the whole way.  We were very happy that my little brother got a pass for this trip.  It was fun getting to see him after such a long time.  I was kind of nervous though, I had my pocket knife in my pocket and he kept trying to get me to show it to him.  For some reason he wouldn't take a picture with anyone either unless we were all in the picture.

The next week we found out he didn't have a pass.  We still went to Petite Jean State Park, but I wonder what it would've been like if he had been there.  When we got there we hiked up the trail and at the end got to play in a waterfall.  Even though Arkansas is in a drought; the waterfall was still falling steadily.  We got to stand under the water fall and play around, but we had to be careful because it was very slippery.

Two days ago my Dad and I took the car to get the oil changed.  The guy took the car and told us that it would be an hour long wait (he lied),  so my Dad and I had to wait.  So we walked across the street to a "video store" called Hasting's.  The reason I put video store in quotes is because this was not a video store... this was heaven.  Sure they had  movie's and video games, but half the store was comic books, collectibles, or jokes/gags.  They had everything.

They had Doctor Who Sonic Screwdrivers,  Star Trek Communicators and Phasers (the originals) even BBQ Brander's all this amazing stuff.  We had a blast.  So we obviously got some stuff and were not bored the whole time.  after the oil was done (which took about two hours) we went to get something to eat.  We found some of the best food in the world.  Fried Pie... yes the pie was fried.  It wasn't just called that, I had chocolate cream pie that was fried.

Today Normal is So Incredibly Happy.

Finally Made It!

Were finally here.  We Arrived in Arkansas on the 11th.  When we got here we ran into some unexpected problems.  They told us that they did not have us down for a pet room and that we would have to keep the dog in a kennel for the entire summer.  We weren't going to do this so my Mom and Dad stood in the building debating for a room for an hour.  We finally got a room at 1:00 am.

We had to settle for a one room apartment.  My parents got the room with the beds and my sisters got the futon... I got a chair.  I had to sleep on the chair until we moved into another room because I wasn't going to make anyone else sleep on a chair.  We were told that we were moving this Saturday.  Thankfully we moved today.

We moved into a two bedroom apartment today.  So that my sisters get beds my parents get a bed and I get the futon.  And the good news keeps on coming.  We also live right next to the outdoor area.  That's were the dogs use the bathroom, get excercise, and the kids play on the playground.  And when I say right next to I mean right next to we walk out the door turn to the left and there's the outdoor area.

Were really happy with the stuff to do on the base too.  There's all sorts of entertainment right across the street things like: a movie theater, a pool, a library, a park, and a gym just to name a few.  My little sister has been going to VBS (Vacation Bible School) every morning and she is having lots of fun there.  We found out today while walking to the pool (which we go to everyday) that they are having a movie at the lake/park.  We decided that were going to go.  It's on June 24 and my little sister is very happy that the movie is "Gnomeo and Juliet".

Today Normal is Pleased

Tired...Tired...AWESOME!!!!

Ok well since were leaving tomorrow we've been cleaning, packing, and all that other fun stuff.  I have to clean the kitchen this month. So when my mom was gone a couple days ago I decided to surprise her and clean the kitchen fully I grouted the tile, wiped the fridge, wiped the cabinets, mopped the floor, did all the dishes, and bleached the sink.  And after that I was TIRED.  I mean it took me a while to do all that so I spent almost all day cleaning the place.

Well there was an awesome part of this week for everyone in the family, though; it wasn't the same for all of us.  My two Sisters and my Mom went to a Taylor Swift concert (blech *throwing up*) and as you can tell I'm glad I wasn't there.  My Dad and I stayed home and he just randomly looked at me and said "Wanna go for a walk" So I said sure and we walked to the movie theater and saw x-men: first class.  I just have to say that movie was awesome.  Anyways a couple of days ago one of my friends slept over my house for the last time in three months and now my older Sister's best friend is sleeping over.  Today Normal is Tired yet Happy.

Goodbye Florida. Hello Arkansas!

My Dad called my mom this morning and let her know that he got his detail back this morning and were leaving for arkansas this summer.  Were leaving on June 10th eight days from today.  I can't wait!  This summer I'm going to get to go to Arkansas meet new people be places I've never been and most importantly get to spend lot's of time with my little brother.  Today we've been getting ready for the trip.

We've decided that were bringing the dog, and the wii.  Everyone else gets to decide what they want to bring but we have to limit it because were driving up there and only taking our van.  Each person has to bring 14 outfits for themself and then the stuff they can't (or really don't want to) go without for the whole summer.  I'm bringing my guitars (both of them) and a bunch of books I've already decided on those.  I can't wait to leave although I'll miss everyone in Florida.  Today normal is excited!
