best day ever?

after spending like, 5 days camping on the beach, what's the one thing chad wants to do when i come home? build a super-mega-awesome sea turtle, that's what. and actually, even though i'm not extrememly fond of the beach, i was excited about this excursion. we left home at around 4 something, and we spent from 5 until 6:40 working on this thing. it was really cute to see all of the little kids walking by and being all, woah mom! look at that! so... this is the final project. fun right?

pretty much right after we finished the turtle, chad had been in the water. i decided that i would.. not. haha. but we left, i drove. and we got home. caleigh had her friend yanna over, and so dad drove up to trenton to drop her off at home right? well, chad and i decided to go out to Anapays. the creepy diner like 4 miles away from our house. so we took the brown buick, and we went down. this is us right outside of the diner. awe. aren't we siblings...

so, after we finished eating, at like 10. we set out on our way home. we had a little trouble starting it in the parking lot, and when we got about 3 and something miles away from home, it just stopped working. the engine was still on, but chad couldn't get any more power to the engine. so we pulled over, and pushed it off to a location where it wouldn't get hit by unsuspecting travelers. and we had to walk. dad was still in trenton, and mom was at work. so chad and i started our lonely treck down the dark and creepy roads of new jersey. we had been walking for like a minute or two, and this car stopped next to us and the guy inside asked us if we wanted a ride. and of course chad was like, "no thanks, we're okay"... haha. i would've said yes. i trust people. chad does not. but whatever. it was good bonding time. i tell you though, it's creepy walking at night in nj. i kept thinking that maybe someone would jump out with an ax and we'd be done for. but that's just because i've seen way too many scary movies...
and when i got home. i got to talk to peter for a while. :) joy.

hmm... and about the previous week of connecticut. let's just say i don't feel like talking about it. it did not go well. but today did. :D even the walking. and the two blisters on my feet now... haha. life is good.
