rye & photos galore!

Got up at some crazy early time to get everything done (ie, practice piano) before leaving to go to our beach house :D Left at around 10:30 (fine, so maybe I woke up at a reasonable hour) and sat on the car for around an hour with my earphones in, attempting to block out the whines of an 8 year old. Fail. I ended up giving in and we played I Spy for about 20 minutes

Soph: "I spy with my little eye, something beginning with...P"

Annette: "um um um FIRE!!"

Soph: "...Fire starts with an F?"

Annette: "I spy something beginning with my little eye...I mean...I spy something starting with G with my little eye..."

Soph: "...."

Inside of our holiday house:

- One double bed, one bunk bed and one single bed

- 2 Couches fold out to a really comfy bed (minimum 7 sleeping spots available :D)

- Dining table is extendable

- The toilet has a leak

- The TV antenna fails

- The backyard is disgusting right now...

 
 

 

The closest beach (dead jellyfishes; our epic double sandcastle with a moat and tunnels and some crazy 90 degree swinging skills)

 

Went back to Annette's place for dinner, I was so bored I read a science encyclopedia and played Junior Monopoly with the kid...then played some dodgy board game that she made haha

Conversation during dinner:

Cousin: "So do you teenagers have crazy parties and stuff"

Soph: "Yeah some do...eh not my thing"

Cousin: "Binge drinking?" (he pronouned it as "bingie")

Soph: "mmm..."

Cousin: "And advertising your parties on the internet like that Corey kid?"

Soph: "...kinda...not...really" (not loving the perception everyone has of kids my age...)

Annette: "HEY SOPH DO YOU LIKE BALLOONS AT PARTIES!!!"

Everyone: "O.O"

So that was it :) its kinda nice spending family time every so often but I seriously don't have the energy to keep up with an 8 year old...ahh getting old

be happy :D
