Trip Over Thanksgiving (Late, Sorry)

Hi Guys,

I’m sorry this is so late. But you will still enjoy the story of my trip to Grandma and Grandpa’s house for Thanksgiving.

It was SO much fun there. We did a hike in a desert area. VERY boring if you ask me. But, we had a great lunch of sandwiches and we got to see a lake. So, overall, I think it was enjoyable. 

That’s me looking cool (NOT!).

Anyway, the trip there sparked an idea to make gingerbread (no men). Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out so good.  Let’s just say that Calvin was the only one who liked it.Emoticon52

We also saw my mom’s friend Jane. She and Luis have a 2 1/2 year old kid named Noah. He is very friendly with us and I had a great time. We also went to Noah’s future school and played there.  Here are some pictures:

 

When we had free time, me and Grandpa played some games of Poker. I wasn’t too enthusiastic about it at first, but soon I was playing as much as I could. It is a LOT of fun.

We also went to Zoomars: an animal petting zoo. We went in an area filled with guinea pigs and bunnies. I never touch the bunnies (my dad picks them up). I pick up guinea pigs and pet them and hold them. This is about my 4th time going. It is really fun!

 

Lastly, we went to an Animal Shelter, where I saw my favorite cat EVER: Vinny. He was SO adorable, playful, but no. We couldn’t adopt him. So sad. And we don’t even have a picture. While you are feeling sad for me I will show you something great: a domesticated PIG!!! This is not Vinny!

Oh, and the Thanksgiving dinner. I almost forgot. The dinner was amazing. It was SO fabulously tasty!! We had turkey, gravy, cranberries, mashed potatoes, sting beans and almonds (one of my favorites), and 3.14. PIE!!!! If only you could have eaten it. Oh man, it was good!

Poker

I recently learned how to play Texas Hold 'em and 5 Card Draw. My grandpa Jimmy taught me and ever since I have been having a blast playing poker. What makes poker interesting is the betting. You bet a certain number of chips depending on how good of a hand you have. In 5 Card Draw you try to improve your hand by drawing new cards. In Texas Hold 'em you use community cards to improve your hand. And, no, we don't bet with real money, because I don't have any.
