Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Time for another slowly updated report from my trip. Which happened may 9th through the 19th. Yeah, I'm slow with the details considering I've only covered one day so far. rofl

Anyways if you haven't yet. Please refer to my last journal entry for the first trip report. It has gayoths!

Essentially on Saturday the day after my arrival. I was able to finally see my family again. As well as a lot of other people. I ended up sleeping over at Jacobs house due to the gayoth party the night before. But in the morning he lent me his car and let me go back to my parents place. Along the way I stopped in Oquawka and visited a old supervisor from the state forest I used to work at.

Then I rushed home and saw my mom, dad, brother, sister, my aunt, my uncle, my grandmother, oh a cousin here and there. It was difficult to keep track believe me. Anyways, my little sister marianne was graduating high school that day. So I drove my brother and I over to the high school to watch the thing.

Anyways, onto pictures! The stories unfold there! Huzzam!



Theres Jacob that morning before I left to see my parents. He's special.



That's my younger brother christopher. I took that before we rode over to the high school.



and that's my sister! She was the one gradumahating don't ya know.

Anyways, her graduation didn't last to long. There was only 50 some students in her class. So we got out there quick. I was able to see a few old teachers. So that was nice.







Theres a few random shots of the whole thing. Along with marianne and her boyfriend. After her ceremony was over. Everyone headed to Big River state forest. Where we were going to have her family party.



Jacob, Damon and I got there early. So we spent the time playing with an old payphone. Yeah, we're cool.



That's christopher at the party.



Finally, here's a group shot with Damon, Jacob, and myself!



Oh there we are hugging... it's cool.





A couple random shots of the party. You can kinda see me in the background. I'm all in black.



Finally, here I am with my grandmother and sister sunday morning before my grandma left.



Oh and if you care. Here's a clip of Marianne Graduating. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXFVLt3N0C4

Overall Saturday and Sunday ended up being a family day. I hung out with Jacob a bit on saturday. But sunday I spent with my entire family. I took everyone to the movies to watch iron man. Though I was so tired I ended up falling asleep in the middle of it. That's never happened to me before!

Anyways, I'm going to wrap this up. I'll update more shortly... eventually.
