All About My Birthday

Me, when I was 3 years old, and then 8 years old.

April 19 was my birthday.

 i turned 8 years old.

me and louise and our family went to Dobra Tea. Dobra Tea is an Indian tea place. you get little tea cups and a pot of tea.  everyone in our family can choose their own tea and we all share.  It is my favorite restaurant.  I like to make up my own teas.  Peppermint and Lavender mixed together is really good.

Then, we went to The Frick. 

The Frick is a very fancy place. there is a museum and a green house.  there is also a very beautiful mansion, but you have to pay to go inside it.  you can walk around and see all of the plants and be in the sunshine.

             Then we went and picked up my friend, Siah. Siah is so good at being a friend that we call her mom our Aunt.  It feels like Siah is our cousin.  My mom acts crazy around her, and she doesn't act crazy around all of our friends if we don't know them too well.

then we all went out to eat with my two great aunts, Patty and Brenda. (They are my mom's aunts.  That's why they are my great aunts.)  and guess what they gave me for a birthday present.  i got a.......KINDLE! I can put books on it.  I am reading Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew books right now.

then we to eat ice cream! 

 

after that, we went swimming at the Oliver Bath House. me and Siah had to take a swimming test before we got to go in the deep end.  they made us swim to the other side of the pool and back without holding our noses.  then we had to tread water for one minute.  we both failed and had to stay in the 3 feet.  it was still fun. 

then we all went to my house to pick up Honey. we sneaked him into the hotel where we were staying so he wouldn't have to spend all day alone.  (i hope the hotel workers aren't reading this!)  we also picked up a big package that the mail man left on our porch.  it was from Papper Jack.  (our grandfather.)

 Homey barked a few times at the hotel........but no one heard.
we ordered pizza. they said they would not drive it to the hotel, so daddy ran and picked it up.
while daddy was gone the kids got glitter tattoos and jumped on the beds.
i opened my package and shared the presents.
At bed time, daddy took Honey home and slept at home with him. The girls sleeped at the hotel. Mom and Louisey shared a bed, and me and Siah shared a bed.
 
it was a really great birthday.
