Lots going on :)

On Wednesday (Aug 15) we went to my aunt's again, and let me say, I had one of the best nights EVER! Let me explain.. It was probably about 9:00 p.m and my cousins brought out this game called Ratuki. The point of the game is to slam down cards to make a stack of 5 and shout "Ratuki!" High score wins, but the real fun part was listening to what everyone was saying; "Rat's are flying!" "There's rat residue everywhere!" "Superman!" and my favorite, "Someone bit me!" Now about that last one, what happened was my cousin was laughing so hard that her teeth hit her sister's arm. So basically it was an amazing night, and I am now obsessed with Ratuki. (We played for almost two hours). I hope we can visit again, maybe in a few weeks :) Oh, and a couple nights before that, we had conversations about people walking around in public in dinosaur costumes. Going back a bit, did I ever tell you about the tarantula-sized spider that was on the back of our couch? No? IT WAS SCARY. The thing was huge. Did I mention it was big? After a great time visiting with family, I started school just a couple of days ago, so that's cool :) Oh, my mom and I made some oatmeal cookies yesterday, so yummy :) The leaves on the trees are already starting to change color :) and I have family coming to visit around Labor Day. :) Good times, good times...

Family visit

Saturday and Sunday my mom, dad and I went to Missouri to visit some of my family; aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents :) We had a cookout Saturday, and afterwards my dad and cousins played music. We had fun watching my little two year old cousin Ellie play the harmonica :)
Later in the night, we went out and caught the Perseid meteor shower; we saw two or three amazing ones that lasted a few seconds and looked like fireworks! On Sunday we enjoyed carry-out lunch from a local church picnic; fried chicken, kettle beef, and lots of yummy sides and desserts! :)
My aunts' dogs, one a Chihuahua, the other a Lab, may differ in size, but are both so cute! :) We plan on going back tomorrow and possibly Saturday and Sunday :) Anyway it was great to see them all; haven't seen them in about a year, really fun to hang out with my cousins that are about my age too :)
