Friday 1st May - Day 8

Took it easy again today. Then this evening Me, Emily, Terry and Terry's brother, Mike and his wife Missy went for a japanese meal!! yummy. The man cooked right in front of us and did little tricks. It was cool!

Thursday 30th April - Day 7

Oh, today Emily and I went to the Science and Industry Museum. It was really cool. Loads of things to do. you could stay there for about 2 whole days. There was also, inside, an Omnimax. An Omnimax is a cinema but the screen is the whole of the ceiling and around. The seats are slightly so you can sea. You don't actually watch a film though, it's a 45 minute documentary about fish and Africa. But its so cool! You have to pay extra for that if you want to see it. Then this evening Emily's friends came over - Sarah, Neida and Jill. We played Cranium which is a game that you have to be in team. We had some wine, some snacks. It was really fun!

Wednesday 29th April - Day 6

Today we played a game first of all, then Emily's friends came round with her children (the one who we had dinner with before), Karen. Then whenthey went home, Me and Emily went to a cow farm to see the cows being milked. It was really fun and interesting. After the tour we got to watch a film about it in 3D and the chairs shaked that we sat in and say when the cow pooed on the screen it would spray water in our faces. It was really funny. Then we went to the Birthing Barn where the cow was giving birth but we were there for about and hour she stil wasnt making any progress so the women who looks after them went in to check if there was any problem. She was trying to help the poor cow out by pulling the calf out but it wouldnt budge. So she called the vet to see if they could both pull it out together. They said they had to close the barn down because they have to do a process that we were not allowed to see. Its horrible, the calf was actually stuck in the pelvis, so what they might have to have done is cut up the calf to do get him out, there for it was going to die, it was getting distressed already. :( Then we drove home and Emily, Terry and Myself went out to a buffet place. There is al sorts of different types of food there. That was a real American place to eat. They were all huge!!

Tuesday 28th April - Day 5

Today Me and Emily just took it easy, it was really nice, Emily first dropped me off at a place called Target because she wasnt feeling well so she could go back to bed. This place was huge and it was the small version. I bought a game and got photos developed and a few other bits and bobs. That was nice, i was in there for about an hour or more! Emily then came to pick me up and we rented a film - The boy in the striped pajamas, ive seen it before but emily hasnt. Its a brilliant film, I recomend it! Then we went to Starbucks! I love Starbucks, I had a hot chocolate, Emily had a coffee. In this Starbucks, they have board games there. So we stayed and played Boggle and Battleship, we were there for a couple of hours! It was fun! On the way home we stopped off in the garden centre to see the puppys!! They were so cute! You can just ask one of the staff if we can see a puppy and they would get them out to so we can play with them, There was this one gorgous puppy who liked playing with the ends of my jeans. Then we played with another one and it pooped and weed right next to me, Great(!) We came home and played a load more games! Terry came home and played one game with us, it took about an hour to play when usually it should only take about 20mins. It was great fun. The day was gone before we knew it, then we had dinner and watched the film that we rented.

Monday 27th April - Day 4

Today Emily and I went to the mall. First we wanted to have a coffee in a cafe, well i had a hot chocolate. I bought loads of bits and bob from the mall. we were there for ages just walking around.Emily got a massage. That was nice for her. Anyway then Terry, Emily and I went to Emily's friend's house for dinner, with her husband and children too. That was lovely, she gave me some brownies to take home. yummy. Then we came home and I went straight to sleep.

Sunday 26th April - Day 3

Today was great fun! Well, we went to church, to Emily and Terry's church. We went out for brunch! I had fried egg, fries, sausages, toast and bread and in America the food is twice as big as everywhere else. YUM YUM! We went to the hardware store (well 2 of them) on the way home. When we got home we played loads of outside games for a few hours, that was fun! Then Emily and Terry went to Bible study and they dropped me off at Terry's mum, Lorraines house on the way. We took Heidi to the doggy park (Lorraine has a lovely Labpoodle) She is gorgeous! Heidi had loads of fun at the doggy park. It was nice for me too to see all the dogs there. Then Emily and Terry picked me up and on our way home, we stopped off at Wendy's Burger place. Yummy. Then we drove home and I went sraight to bed.

Saturday 25th April - Day 2

Today we drove down town to chicago - its about an hour away. We went to shopping!! I bought a couple of things. We strolled around for hours, we then bought some tickets for a show for the evening called Urinetown! Then we went to a Tai restaurant just around the corner from the theatre before it started. It was a lovely meal. Then watched the show at 730. It was actually very good but very silly! Then drove home and went to bed - i fell asleep in the car on the way home.
