Today is Canada Day! We all were told to get dressed in a Canada t-shirt so we did. After that the three girls (Jasmin, Colette and I) went downstairs and finished making our fort. It was very complicated. Jasmin took umbrellas from the part of the basement that is our Jiddo’s (aerobic for grandfather) work area. I told Jasmin she shouldn’t, but then I regretted it because know we have the best fort ever. There were a few holes that needed patching up. The boys wanted a cool fort too. We tried helping them but everything we suggested they didn’t like. We brought all our candy that Colette gave us down into the fort. Colette also brought our iPods and my charger down. It was a nice comfy fort.
Later at 2:00 we left our grandparent’s house to go to some of our friends. I slept on the car ride there. Our friends live by a water tower, so every water tower we drove by I kept asking if it was theirs. Their drive way was decorated with little Canadian flags. The boys wanted to take one home. When we got inside Jasmin and I got WIFI so we could update our electronic devises (or get a few apps). We went outside and James (one of the kids we were visiting, he has a brother named Alex) gave me an iPad charger so I could charge my iPod. We had a drawing contest. We had to draw something Canadian. I drew a moose my sister had to help me draw the antlers. My sister drew a beaver and a Montréal Canadiens symbol. There was other people at the party too, a girl named Serena and a boy named David. After the drawing contest we played a game called Bingo. Bingo is a game when there is a ball and you through it at a person and if the person misses it they get a letter or if you through poorly you will get a letter, the first one who spells bingo is out, and that was me. Then we had a Canadian pop quiz. We each had teams. There were random Canadian questions, such as who is the Prime minister of Canada, name three famous Canadians. The one question that my team got stuck on is who the voice of Sherk is. Our team leader (Alex) put down Jim Carrey when it really was Mike Myers.

Day 1 June 30, 2011
As soon as the plane had landed I knew we were home. I was bursting with energy. I was about to explode with happiness. Everything was going great. It got even better as soon as we arrived at my grandparents house. After I set my back down upstairs, I ran back down stairs strait to the basement. We all (me, Ben, Lukas, and Jasmin) were playing when our Tita (Tita is aerobic for grandmother) came down stairs to the basement and told us that our cousins were coming in a few hours. I was getting happier just the thought of seeing Colette again. Colette and I have been e-mailing each other every day since left our house in February, but now seeing her again got me bursting with even more happiness.
After we ate dinner we went back down to the basement just to come back up and greet our cousins at the door. I almost squeezed my cousin to death with hugs. We went up stairs to get my cousin settled in. We all exchanged presents, Colette gave Jasmin and I tons of presents. I got all these stitch (from Lilo and stitch) things. We also got a hoard of candy. She also gave us bubbles and Frisbees. After we put all our stuff a way we went to the basement and started building a fort. It took a little while because it kept falling down. When we were less than half through we had to go up stairs had go to bed. It was around 11:00 or 8:00 pacific time. I had trouble falling asleep that night. I got out of the bed and went to the floor where my cousin was also trying to fall asleep, but couldn’t. We talked little while until we woke up Jasmin and told us to go to sleep. So we tried.
