A joint blog post- by Taylor and Parker
Taylor: In the morning, we went to Tin Shed, which I highly recommend, only if you like dogs. We still had to do some packing and we kind of rushed doing that. And then we were ready to go. But, it wasn’t time. So, the parents sent us to walk the dog. Finally it was time to leave. We are headed to Minnesota to see a Little House on the Prairie tour.
Parker: I left my dog kihei at home. I miss her so much.
T: We took an uber. The driver was nice. Her name was Glenda. We got to the airport and headed off to check our bags. We stopped at a store called The Market, to get gum and snacks for the plane. We went to our terminal, it was very far away from some others. We got to sit in row 6. It was actually very comfortable. I could swing my legs out without hitting anybody. It was a long flight. My iPod died once.
P: On the flight, I watched my iPod, but then I got to use my dad’s computer because my iPod was dead.
T: We finally got there and got a rental car, which took super long. Finally we had the car. It’s called a Toyota 4 Runner. It is very high and it is high to sit in. It kind of took a long time to get to our hotel. Our hotel is an old bank.
P: We checked out our rooms. I’m staying with my grandma, Babe. I got both the keys. And hid one next to the light of the lamp. But then I was turning the lamp on and the little knob that I had to turn fell off. So my grandma put it back on. And then she said she had to have a key too, so I gave her the other key.
T: We dropped our bags off and we went to meet our friends at a park.
P: [We saw] our friend Stephanie, her mother [Jane], and her son, Sam. Sam is 6.
T: We played there for a while and had dinner. It felt like lunch.
P: There was a big thunderstorm coming, so we had to leave.
T: We saw some dark clouds moving in, so we started driving. In about 5 minutes, it started to pour. 5 minuets later, it stopped. Weird weather.
P: And then we rode back to our hotel and went in the hotel and up to our rooms. I sat down on the potty and started writing my blog. Kaploosh.
T: We headed back to the hotel to have a good night.💤
Fun times, Youngbloods! Fun fact: I think Joey, Matt, Susan, Mary Gage and I stayed in the “bank” hotel when we went to a conference a few years ago! Have fun! I love reading your blog!
