Sorry about the delay on this post. Between my mom never getting of the computer and working I haven't been able to get on here till now.
Also update on my cell phone. I have gotten the phone to turn on and I can actually receive calls and make calls out. Only problem is I have no screen so there for I can't get to anyone's number to call people so since I basically have no ones numbers memorized I am not able to make much use of it. But, Atleast for now you can call me on it supposedly. Also I hope to get a new cell phone this weekend. Anyway on with the story about the trip.
Day Three, July 17:
That morning my cell phone rang at 9am. It was my mom telling me to get everyone up so we could get out the door. I did and by 9:30am we were at my parents house. We eat breakfast real quick there at that house, choices being leftover doughnuts and danishes. From there we were off to Universal Studios. We arrived there around 11am and met up with April, John, and MacKalya who were going with us this time. April suggested that since it was now after 11am and the morning now gone that instead of going into the park this day that we go home and rest up and come back the next day early. We all talked about it and agreed that it was best to come back tomorrow especially for the kids. Also instead of going to Universal Studios we decided to go to Islands of Adventure because they have water rides there, and anyone who knows me knows I had no problem with that since I like waters rides (except for Log Flumes). So since we decided to come back tomorrow my dad and William went into a surf shop that was right next door to the place we all met up at to look for some Hawaiian themed clothes that he and William could wear that matched. After about 5 minutes William comes out of the store and tells Thomas and I to come in because they want to show us something. So Thomas and I follow William in the store to see my dad holding up this Yellowish Orange Billabong shirt and this Blue shorts with yellow flower type designs on them (shorts were actually swim trunks) and ask Thomas and I if we would be willing to wear that along with him and William. Thomas said sure and reluctantly since I didn't want to be a party pooper I agreed. So my dad spent just over $300 on clothes so we all could match the next day when we came back to the park. After doing that shopping we decided that we were all going to go eat lunch and met up at this place called "Orlando Ale House" which is a restaurant/bar kind of like Y-Knots just smaller. Since April and John were the only ones that knew how to get there April had to ride with my dad which ment someone had to give up their seat and ride with John and MacKalya. Well that one person happened to end up being me. John decided to let 9 year old MacKalya give us directions to get to the restaurant and in doing so we ended up making about 3 or 4 u-turns before finally arriving at our destination. The rest of the group had already arrived and been seated so we went on in. They had three pool tables there and my dad and William were already playing pool. Niki wanted to play so I played a game with her and while playing I noticed that they had a music box were you could select the music that would play in the restaurant and being a bar it had decent up to date music to choose from. I found that they had several Everclear songs on it so I played about 4 of their songs along with an Evanescence song. William played some Queens and Nickelback songs. I finished it out with a Sevendust song. They even had Manson songs on it but we didn't play any of those. I then played some pool with William and we realized that the thing would let us play for free because when we push our money in and then pulled it back out our money was still there but it still dropped the balls down so we could play. Finally our food came and we ate, I had fried scallops which were so-so. Then William and I played one more game of free pool before we all left. Once outside everyone agreed that we would go to April and Johns house but first we had to stop back at our places to get the kids swimming suits and plus William wanted to bring the PS2. Once we got to the two house we were staying at everyone realized they were tired and didn't really feel like going over there anymore. So we called April and John up and let them know and told them we would met them in the morning. By this time it was 4pm and for the rest of the day we just talked, played PS2, and watched TV. Also Bea and Dick (both in their 80s) who are friends of my parents, Bea was also my Uncle Kenny's girlfriend before he passed away, came by and ate a wonderful (being sarcastic) dinner of pizza with us. Bea and Dick left around 7:30pm. Around 9pm Cathy wanted to go back to the other house to go to bed but I wanted to stay so since Cathy didn't know how to get back to the other house I had to drive her over there and on the way she ask "Do you think Bea and Dick (Bea's new boyfriend now that Uncle Kenny is gone) still do it?" I look at her funny and say "I don't even want to think about that". She says "You don't wonder about that, if people still do it at that age?" I say "No, I don't wonder and I sure as hell don't want to know". So now that I have this horrid image stuck in my head (the exact reason I don't think about that) I drop Cathy off and drive back over to the other house. Once I arrive there I realize the only people still up are my mom and Niki. I started watching the movie "Helen Keller" and by 10pm my mom went to bed so now Niki and I were the only ones up. At 10:30pm Niki asked me if she should go wake up her dad, because her dad wanted to go to the other house and play a prank on Cathy. I told her that was up to her. So she got up and went over to get him up and asked him. She came back and said that he was too tired and didn't feel like it. So then William who was going to stay the night that that house comes to me and says that he can't sleep because Thomas snores to loud and that when I leave to come get him, I told him I would. At about 11:15pm Niki said she was tired and was going to bed and I agreed since we would be up by 7am the next morning. William must of heard us up and as he came back in the room and said he was ready to go. So I put on my shoes and William and I left to go back to the other house to go to bed to get up in the morning.
I realize that I said I would post days three and four this time but due to the length of just day three I think I will stop here and hopefully, assuming my mom doesn't hog the computer, post day four tomorrow, which was the best day of the trip. That and I know your just dying to know what happens with the matching outfits.
