I'm back from my Independence Day weekend meetup with my family. I did blog about it--but for some bizarre reason, which for the life of me I can't remember, I blogged about it in Spanish... [laughing] So yeah, here's the story en ingles this time.

Got there Thursday night. Friday we kind of just meandered around one of the malls...I went rock climbing in Dick's Sporting Goods and totally twisted my bad knee so, I was limping around for the rest of the weekend. We didn't go see fireworks, we were all dead on our feet by like 7 o'clock so we just went back to the hotel and vegged out in the hot tub. My cousin and I got a good laugh because there was a lady in the hot tub who stared at us for a really long time and finally told us, "You both are so pretty are you Mediterranean?" And we both just kind of looked at each other and were like "Umm...no...we're hispanic." We get that a lot, because we just look exotic...Anyways, she then started oohing and ahing over my other cousin's 15 month old son. It was funny...

Saturday we took the baby to the zoo. It was really fun. We went to the other mall Saturday night. Had a lot of fun shopping. My mom made me buy new Converse. I love my crappy, old Cons. Their so holey they look more like Swiss cheese than shoes, but I loves them! [huggles] But, mom insisted I get a new pair, so I got some new ones...I do admit, the old ones were pretty bad. I'll have to take pictures of them so you guys can see the hobo shoes I was walking around in up until yesterday. After we got back to the hotel we 'jacked one of their lawn chairs and set up an impromtu hair salon on the front lawn of the hotel. My cousin is a hairstylist and my other cousin and I were in desperate need of haircuts, so I got my long hair chopped off, and it's short now. I really like it.

So then, we left at like 8 or so this morning and just got back about 20 minutes ago. I'm so relieved to be home. I'm glad we got to see my family, though. That was really nice. I hope everybody else had a good holiday weekend.
