Today was another good day spent with my long lost relatives. =). I woke up to Jacob knocking on Grandma and Grandpa's door. He wanted to play his "tall cousin" at basketball. He learned today that being tall doesn't make you automatically good at basketball though. I was lucky that he wasn't the greatest at it yet either so he didn't completely wipe me out. I did have longer arms though so he couldn't really get too many shots off. Then there was me who could shoot almost anytime I wanted to but wouldn't make it anyway. There was one point during the came that lasted probalby a good 10 minutes where both of us were going back and forth and niether of us scored. That was good time. That game kind of faded and we ended up just messin around after that. We lowered the hoop to 8 foot and got out the trampoline and did some dunks. After that we stopped to get some drinks then just chatted and played with his dog (a 3 year old beagle that reminded me of Happy). Then he and grandma and Grandpa and I headed over to the Golden Corral for our thanksgiving meal. We met up with my Uncle Dan and his children. Uncle Steve wasn't able to make it to the lunch though he had to work today. But anyway we had fun at the restaruant. I got to talk to Daniel about his college and he asked about mine. Then after we finished eating Jacob, Bekah and I got into an all out spit wad fight. It turned pretty crazy with spit wads sticking to all kinds of foreheads in the end. Bekah can sure make a juicy wad thats all I have to say. Once we left we took some pictures and headed back to Grandpa & Grandma's. I hope to be back there friday and spend some more time with Daniel and Bekah. But once we returned to the house Jacob and Oliva showed me aroudn thier nieghborhood at the creek, at thier tree house. Jacob even wanted me to try and skateboard.. that didn't work out too well but I didn't break anything so in my eyes that was good enough. Then we washed all the cars in the driveway. Mine was probably the dirtiest though. Jacob ended up Soaking Olivia though. I don't know if it was done on purpose or not but Oliva was a good sport about it.. she just changed her clothes and came right back out for some more. But my car and Grandpa's car sure looked nice once we were done with them. Once Steve got back from work he invited me over for dinner with his family since he wasn't able to make it to the lunch this afternoon. We just ordered a pizza but it was still pretty fun. I also used that opportunity to work on his computers too. I fixed them really good. I had to leave around 8:00ish though to head back to Will's house so once we finished up with dinner I started packing up and said my goodbyes to everyone. The trip back was pretty straight forward I ended up getting back right around 9:00. It only took about 30 minutes to get from there to here. Its amazing how quick it was without any traffic. After getting back here I just caught up with Will and his family on how my trip was and asked what they had been up to. Then we watched a movie until around midnight and then I called back home to my parents to fill them in on the visit and take care of some buisness too. We talked until around 12:45. I was also able to talk to my sister too since she was there. But anyway that was my eventful day today. I hope I'm able to get back one more time on friday before Will and I head back to the mothership in lynchburg (Liberty). So anyway its getting rather late now I think I'm going to hit the hay for the night now. Tomorrow I'll help cook thanksgiving dinner with Will's family. Have a wonderful night and a great thanksgiving!
