Have you ever had only five hours of sleep? Well, I have and it happened when I went to a barbeque contest with my dad. I got checked out by my dad at 1:00 from school. We were running really behind said my dad as we were going home. We packed up very fast and we left at 3:30.
We had to stop by Mr. Bryan's house to pick up cots. As we were going there, our hot ash can's lid flew off in the middle of the road. We picked up the cots and we came back to the road to get the lid. Thankfully it wasn't busted too much. We got to the contest at 5:00.
As my dad was preparing meat, Aida, my cousin, and I were running around and picking up things to help Aunt Heather. The day flew by and Aunt Heather let me sleep on the floor in her hotel room. It was much better than sleeping on a cot and getting wind burnt in the freezing weather.
On Saturday, Aida and I were groing around picking up things once again. Also I jumped in a bounce house 'til the awards ceremony. My dad didn't do any better than last contest. The whole point coming here was to do better. I had lots of fun though. What did you do that was very fun or exciting this week?
Yep, I've had only 5 hours sleep but never because of a barbeque contest.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you and Aida were there to help out Aunt Heather. She was probably still worn out from Karri's wedding.
Did your Dad sleep out in the cold on the cot or did he get to sleep in the hotel room too? Sorry you and Dad didn't do any better in this contest than the last. Tell Dad to keep on trying. There's a prize winning barbeque somewhere in that grill.
My fun this week was watching my garden grow. Mistress Mary quite contrary's garden that is. We have tiny tomatoes, squash, peppers and blooms on our cucumbers. Papa Ray and I also planted some fruit trees - we have baby peaches on our peach tree, our apple tree is in blossom and our orange tree hasn't died yet.
What are you going to do for the summer? Can't wait to hear about your exciting summer adventures!
Love,
Nana
