Winter Break!

After this week, it is finally winter break! Actually after thursday at 4 for me it is winter break! I can't be more excited about it.  All quarter I have been so busy with school , sorority, work and everything else!  I don't have any plans really for break it is just the fact that I don't have any plans is why I am so excited! I don't want to wake up early for school and I don't want to worry about studying, homework or anything.  And it's Christmas! This time of the year is my favorite time! The holiday music, decorations, the whole feeling during this time of year is the greatest! I love that the weather is getting colder and we just started putting our Christmas decorations up and our house is finally starting to feel like Christmas time! I'm so excited and I can't wait for break! :) yay!

Thanksgiving!

So for Thanksgiving this past weekend I went to Glamis.  It is a few hours away towards Mexico and it is a place to ride dirtbikes and just have fun.  I went with my mom, dad, grandpa, and some aunts, uncles and cousins! It was a lot of fun! There were so many people out there, it was packed! We left at 5 in the morning on Thursday and came home on Saturday night.  We cooked turkey out there and stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, even pie! It was a lot of fun to have all my family there hanging out and riding together the whole weekend! We have a dune buggy and so does my aunt and uncle and my other uncle and cousins have a rhino (like a golf cart made for the dunes) and we would all go for rides together.  At night we bundled up because it was freezing and we went to Oldsmobile Hill (Olds).  Olds is a huge sand dune that people ride up and down on all day and night.  At night it gets really busy there and it a lot of fun to watch everyone race up and down it doing wheelies and other cool tricks.  On Saturday we all decided to take one last ride before we left for home.  As we were going through the dunes we looked back and noticed that my uncle with the rhino was not following us anymore, we quickly turned around and began searching for him just to be sure he was OK.  We found him and my cousin stuck at the bottom of a dune and once we got them out we thought it would be fine.  But as he was driving to get to where we were, he started sliding down the side of the dune and flipped the rhino three times!! We didn't see him roll it, and my cousin walked over and saw the rhino on its side at the bottom of the dune.  We all ran over, panicked that he would be hurt, and found that he managed to get out OK! So three hours later we were able to fix the three messed up tires, the tweaked axel and the banged up doors!  

   It was crazy, we see it happen all the time, people rolling their stuff out there, but I always think it won't happen to us!  And even though my uncle was OK, it was still a little bit scary! Other than that, the whole trip was a lot of fun and the Thanksgiving food was amazing! :)
