FEB 13 Birthday fun in Ohio

I wrote this post Feb. 13, but we've been busy catching up on school, so Mom is just getting it posted today.

Hiya again. 

I’m sorry to tell you that my Grandpa died the day after we came back from Ohio last week.  He had been sick for a really long time.  Mom, baby, and I went back to Ohio.  Even though we were there for the funeral, we still had fun during the week.  Grandma said it made her happy to see all the cousins having fun.

So, now this title is pretty obvious.  Last week was my birthday. We got to Ohio by plane though, and it costs $50 per suitcase, so I actually wasn’t ALLOWED to do school!  Ha-ha!  So I will only be telling you about the fun stuff I did there.  Get ready to be blown away!

I spent three nights at my aunt's house, with my two cousins lava and bananas.  Any ways, we watched Dolphin Tale, part of Hoodwinked Too, (don’t watch that movie.) and a ton of AFV, America’s Funniest Home Videos.  We also played wolves, vet, and had pillow fights.  We created our own AFV’s too.  We ordered a pizza,  and played Monopoly Deal.  It was really fun. 

There were two other cousins of mine who had birthday’s that same week, so we had a celebration for all of us.  One cousin’s sister, bananas, made a totally cool cake for him.  It was a fishing cake.  It was a layered chocolate cake.  In between the layers were cut strawberries and chocolate icing.  It was so cool.

On my actual birthday, bananas, lava and I went snow tubing!   My aunt drove us an hour to this cool ski and tubing resort.  On the way, we had lunch in the car, and sang:  “100 bottles of coke on the wall, 100 bottles of coke, take one down, pass it around, 99 bottles of coke on the wall!”  we got all the way to: “only one bottle of coke on the wall, only one bottle of coke, take it down, pass it around, no more bottles of coke on the wall!”  surprisingly, that song only took us 20 minutes including our water break at 50 bottles of coke!  LOL!  Ha-ha!  After that song, we looked up weird laws on a phone app that lava had.  Most of them were totally fake, or everyone broke them!  Ha-ha!  It was really fun! 

Once we got to the resort, we took brown bags with our snow stuff into the bathroom to change.  Then, when we were already, my aunt went back to the car to stay warm!  Ha-ha!  Bananas, lava, and I went and got a tube.  Then, we stood in line for the conveyer belt.  finally, we got on.  The conveyer belt took us,(slowly but surely) all the way to the top of the hill/mountain.  But we still had to stand on it.  Once we were at the top, we choose a hill to go down.  The hills were very steep, and the snow was packed down hard.  The sides of each row were packed high with ice.  We decided to all go down together.  The man who was at our station tied our tubes together.  We each hopped in.  we each grabbed the handles.  Then, the man pushed us down.  We were going so fast!  It was insane!  The ice shards and wind stung our face on the way down.  We were screaming so loud!  When we got to the bottom, mats were laid down to stop our speed.  They hurt our bottoms so bad.

The next times we went down, we pretended we were foods in bags on the conveyer belt, like at the store.  The ride down was the ride in the car.  Ha-ha!  We also help our bottoms up.  LOL!  We went down about four or five more times before it was time to go.  We had to get home for my birthday party. 

For my party/dinner, I had Subway, as did baby, lava, and bananas.  Then we had cookie cake.  They sang happy birthday to me, and indeed it was a happy birthday.  

That night bananas and I slept over at my aunt’s one more night.  The next day I had to leave.  I was sad when I had to leave,  but I was ready to come home.  We took the plane again.  During the time I was in Ohio, it snowed like three times, and it was still snowing when we got to the airport.  We had breakfast at the airport.  I had two donuts from Tim Horton’s.  They were so good!  Baby had a blueberry muffin.  My mom had a nutrition bar.  Then we got on the plane and went home.
