When the bell rang for school to be out, I was thrilled! There was so much to do and, oh. I remembered that I wouldn’t see my cousins until Thanksgiving. But that all changed a couple weeks later. My mom had told me that our family was going to see my cousins! The hard part, was the long, long, LONG drive from Frisco TX, to Lee Summit MO! But, going to Missouri was only the beginning.

Our first stop was one of my cousin’s houses. As soon as I hopped out of the car, we rung the doorbell to see if they were home. They didn’t answer! Dad started making some jokes about it. Then, we went to their backyard where I found Katie, Emma, and Aunt Sarah! I had got them a present but it turned that they had gotten something for me too! All the rest of the day we played and pretended and practiced for our show at the end of the day.

That night, two of my other cousins, Wesley and Quinton arrived! We were so surprised. I had gifts for them too! Together we had so much fun playing! After dinner, we rehearsed the last bit of our play and the adults saw it and loved it! After that, it was about evening so dad got a jar and the cousins ran off after fireflies! We got so many! Later, Wesley and Quinton had to leave. Lucky me, I got to stay! And the girls got to wear matching nightgowns!

The next day, I had to leave Missouri and Katie and Emma but, I did get to go to Kansas to see Wesley and Quinton at their house again. What did we do? We went to SCHLITTERBAHN!!! The funnest and bestest water park on EARTH! I loved the ride Storm Blaster. It’s a water rollercoaster!

I had to leave Wesley’s house. (Boo- hoo.) We went to Grandma’s house for lots of fun. It only would have been better if my cousins were there. I did have lots of fun there though. I wrote my very first play, Perla Pan the Musical! We had so much fun! Grandma had found me some little trinkets she had found. I even got to draw a face for the little weeble ghost she had finally found!

The next day Our family went to see my other Grandma and Grandpa and cousin. We went to another fun theme park called Silver Dollar City! There were so many rides and fun things to do. I even got to see my dad go super fast on a rollercoaster! We had such a fun time! I especially liked going on The Lost River of the Ozarks!

After a full day of Silver Dollar madness, we headed back to my first Grandma’s house. I did not have my cousins there with me like last time, but I still had fun! I finished writing Perla Pan the musical! Of course, this play is NOT copyrighted so I wrote down the first scene for you in case you wanted to memorize it! Anyway, we had fun. And as for me, I got 2 new special edition Zoobles! (Toys)

Mom: Wendy, WENDY? Where in the world,

Wendy: Mom, it’s complete chaos!

Mom: What do you mean?

Wendy: The story, the myth, PETER PAN!?!

Mom: Honey, are you really going to believe that silly story? It’s just made up writing.

Wendy: (stammering) It’s just,

Mom: Go to bed. You’re very tired.

Wendy: Ok. (upset)

Mom: Goodnight Wendy Darling. (Knowingly)

Well, after all that fun and traveling, I could call it a week. I hopped in the car, said goodbye to my grandparents, and returned to Frisco TX. Which is very close to Dallas TX. Sure, I’d miss my family. But hey! There’s always a fun Thanksgiving birthday to look forward to!

These parts of the story were left out. I wanted to save them for the end, because you know, the end is made for laughs, Enjoy!

First off, we stopped at Chili’s for lunch on our way to see Katie and Emma. There was a brand new bottle of Ketchup sitting right there in front of me, I couldn’t resist! I opened the cap, squeezed, KA BAM!!! I was covered in red ketchup!

At Katie’s house I had mentioned that the play we did was amazing, WRONG! Quinton went potty during a scene he wasn’t in. He went upstairs and went to the bathroom. When he flushed, he had flushed a cap to an air freshener in the toilet. It started flooding in the basement! ‘It’s a flood!” yelled Emma. I was able to safely get all the cousins outside. The water didn’t get far! The amazing teamwork of the uncles saved us all!

After Katie’s house, me, mom, dad, and uncle Sean were driving in my moms brand new 2009 White Lincoln Navigator. I was listening to some groovy tunes, and suddenly this weird song played at a really loud tempo! Someone had hacked our car radio! Dad was able to fix it once we got to Wesley’s house!
