6 days!! :)

I know I've been talking nonstop about the rain, but we don't get enough rain here, so it's kinda a big thing.
Anyway, in the middle of the night a couple nights ago, I woke up to really loud thunder!
I don't remember it too well, because it was the middle of the night, but I remember hearing really loud booming. It was so cool! I haven't heard thunder in a really long time.
At first I thought that it might have been a dream, but Mom said she heard it too.

On other news, on Wednesday we had our aireal show! It's wasn't anything big, it was just something we worked on this semester. We showed off our aireal skills and acted out different emotions as jesters. Claire and Addy were mimes, Izzy and Gabby were jesters acting out tigers, and I was a wacky crazy jester. :)

In the middle of the show, I almost fell out of the hammock I was performing in. It was a little embarrassing but at least I didn't fall out. :)

My character was crazy wacky, but I couldn't find anything to wear that fit my character, so my teacher brought some leggings of her own for me to wear. They were the awesomest leggings ever! One leg was bright orange and the other leg was and turquoise and blue striped. How cool is that? I want leggings like that so badly. They're weird and the coolest things ever. :D

 6 days until Christmas!! I still have to get presents for Claire and Mom and then I will have all the presents for my family.
A couple days after Christmas we are going on a vacation to visit my grandparents, cousins, and friends who we don't get to see very often. It's an 8 hour car drive, which is going to be slightly insane, but hopefully we all get there and back alive. When we go on vacations that long, we usually leave around 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning so we can sleep a little in the car so the drive doesn't seem that long.
Driving in the really early morning time is so awesome. When we get in the car it's still dark outside, and then we see the sun rise, and have breakfast and lunch in the car. And we have blankets and pillows with us in our seats, so it seems less like we're sitting in stiff seats for 8 hours and more comfy. :)

 We're going to be gone on the vacation for a little over a week, so if we don't post, that's why. But be prepared for a very long post on Christmas. :)

We're on Christmas break now! We have about two weeks off which will be a nice long break.
