Another Trip to the Beach

Today we went to the beach again. Except it wasn't just me and my family this time. My dad's best buddy from high school invited us to go. The beach we went to was the same one my family and I went to for July 4th. My dad's buddy, H., said they should have fireworks that day. We decided to go with H. and his family because we didn't get to see fireworks on Independence Day. The fireworks weren't going to happen until 9 o' clock or so. Thus, we had to find something to do for 5 hours xD. The beach is also part amusement park, so we decided to hang out there. But the tickets for the rides are so damn expensive TT.TT we only got to ride a few. Well, the younger ones got to ride a few. I only got to ride the bumper cars since I had to drive for my brother who is too short to do it himself. I was okay with that ^ ^ I love bumper cars! :D
Today was my first one actually driving the bumper car myself. We don't go to amusement parks often and when we did it was when I was little. So my dad drove for me for all my experiences with bumper cars.
Anyways, it was so much driving one! :D I was really good at it too for my first time. ^ ^ I had total control. It was hilarious though. Because Z. (the little brother I had to drive with) was screaming the whole time! It was his first time riding, so he didn't expect it to be fast and bumpy xD. My sister didn't know how to drive (it was her first time too), so she kept spinning rapidly in circles. xD It was hilarious. My dad and H. joined in too. I kept bumping into H. xD It was quite awkward, but still funny.
I wanted to go again, but they were so expensive. A ticket was $6 each. That mean for all of us it costed over $30! It sucks :P I couldn't go again.
Afterwards, we went to the kiddie section. I of course had no fun there. But it was fun watching the little ones laugh and have fun ^ ^
Then we went to the beach. And guess what. After we waited until 8 o' clock, we found out that there was no fireworks!! >:\ that's not right man. Second time this has happened. Turns out they have fireworks every Friday. So we're going next Friday. Sigh~ I really wanted to see fireworks :( even if they're just loud colorful sparks in the sky that get boring after 2 minutes, I still want to see them.
Since, it was late, we all just went to a nearby calorie monster McDonald's xD.
Then we came home and started watching Dexter. Dexter is this super awesome show about a serial killer. xD You should really find a way to watch it ^ ^
We got the whole series, so we watch an episode or two every night.
But each episode is like an hour long >.> so we all end up staying up until 12 or 1 o' clock.
Which causes me to not want to wake up early and study, but I have too TT.TT

Independence Day

I totally forgot to tell you about my July 4th! I'm so sorry >~<
Well, my July 4th was...okay I guess.
There's this beach that has a fireworks show every July 4th. Furthermore, my brother keeps complaining about how he wants to go to the beach and wants to see fireworks. Thus, my dad decided to spend our Independence Day at this beach. Hit two birds with one stone ^ ^ (this saying sounds violent xD and mean towards birds). Anyways, when my family goes out it takes forever. You know how hard it is to get two toddlers ready for the beach? Very hard. Plus, my sister didn't have the slightest clue on how to prepare for the beach either, so I had to tell her what to do. I swear, she's too spoiled and lazy. Everyone basically does the work for her. But my dad has been trying to get her to do simple chores like the dishes or something. She's not very good at them; needs more experience.
I packed my bag with basically everything. A towel, extra clothing, a jacket (just in case it suddenly gets cold. it happens xD), sunscreen, and so on. I like to be very prepared ^ ^. I'm glad I brought the sunscreen because my dad forgot it. I saved the family from sun burn ! xD
Once we finally got to the beach, we had to find stupid parking. Afterwards, we then had to find a spot on the beach. But my dad wanted to sit somewhere near the food area. Which was all the way on the other side. TT.TT there was so much walking. Once we get to the food stands, my dad gets some corn dogs and funnel cake. I was like "We just got done eating lunch!" and he was like "I thought you guys might want a snack." My dad is crazy >.> . . . The funnel cake was good though ^ ^
As we were standing there eating, we noticed signs that said "No fireworks on July 4th." Everyone in my family got so disappointed. I mean fireworks was our main reason for going to the beach.
However, my dad was glad I noticed the sign or else we would've stayed there until 10:00 pm clueless xD.
The beach was fun. I accidently grabbed onto a tiny crab thinking it was a pretty rock. When I saw the legs wiggle around everywhere, and felt it against my skin, I dropped it and screamed. Then I shook my hand (as if all the crab germs would fly off) and started shouting "Ew! Ew! Ewww!" A nearby elderly-ish person saw/heard me and started laughing. >~< Which wasn't nice at all. My sister started laughing, and said that happened to her too. Apparently, she told dad, and he said that we should have ve caught it, so we could eat it. I was like "Firstly, the crab is too small to be satisfying in anyways. And secondly, ewww > <" I'm telling ya, I have a weird father. After two or three hours we left.
