The Big Trip

I have returned from E-town.

I saw Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kortni. We went to a waterfall and when we were driving out, it was time to drive back to Nana's house and I drove back with him in his car. He had a pit bull and the other dog, I don't know what kind of dog it was. Uncle Ryan is a Marine.

Speaking of military people, on the plane ride to E-town, I ran into a US Army guy, and he was coming back down the way to his seat, and I stopped him and said "Thank you for serving our country," and an hour later he came back and took off one of his pins and gave it to me! The military guy told us to look it up online and we think it is a combat infantry badge. Uncle Ryan said it was a real badge because he said they don't just have those to give out to people in the airport like plane wings from the flight attendant so it was a real military pin.

I got to see my friends but two of them weren't there, and two of them moved, and then two more of them moved in the middle of our trip. So it was kind of a bummer. At least I got to see the two people who moved before they left.

We took a trip to see my cousins and my aunt and uncle. Joshua is so much bigger than me now. He said he was proud of me because I played guitar for Grandmom and he saw the video. And he saw the video of my play and he said he was proud of me for that too. And we got to see Daddy's old play theater and there is a framed picture of him on the wall.

We saw Mammam and Pap, which was pretty neat. They moved out of their house which was pretty bumming to me and my mom but it was pretty cool in the new place. But the last day we came over there to say goodbye to them Pap wasn't very happy to see us. He said a curse word which he didn't do before he was sick so it is a reaction of his sickness. He has dementia which is a disease that makes him not remember a lot of things and he is always very confused. I feel very sad that he is sick. The last day we saw him wasn't a total bummer. When we came in he named all of us the correct way but then he started talking about his sister which was not true because she's dead. The good thing is that we have memories about the good things and the times when he wasn't sick and he was nice. I really liked that. He is still Pappap.

So just to wrap it up I just wanted to say that it was a very fun trip and I was glad to see my family, mostly Uncle Ryan and everyone else too. So this was the big trip and I hope you liked it. Tomorrow I will be blogging about my recent play called 13.
