Family Week

My cousins Kenny and Patty came down from New Jersey to visit me for a week! I was extremely excited. They haven't come down to visit my family and me since I was around 10! I always went up to New York to see them and my grandparents. Aside from the fact that I dread in fear that I would not have time to study for my accounting test that was today (Friday), I was really happy to be spending time with them.
They arrived Sunday night (Monday earning morning at around 2AM). Immediately Patty and I bonded where we went up to my room, shut the door, and talked about girl stuff. I've always looked up to her as an older sister figure, so everything she does and says, I remember I would always try to copy her.
We went to the science museum downtown on Monday. It's been so long since I've been there. What really grossed me out was the bug section on the top floor ~_~ cockroaches, gigantic centipedes, and huge green caterpillars were a little too much for me!
Traver traveled downtown to meet them, and they seemed to like him, even though our conversation only lasted a little while before we had to go home for dinner.
Sandy and Emily's family came the next evening! With the exception of Andrew's family and Melissa, most of the cousins were there and it was so much fun! Emily has grown to be really intelligent for a 5 year old and Sandy finally can speak full sentences.
We also went to Lake Johnson to go kayaking and canoeing. It was the first time I ever went and I had a blast ^_^ I saw something floating in the water and it scared the living lights out of me because I thought it was a gator! But later on, we saw something really similar to it and it was actually a paper bag -__-
I wanted to go back so bad that I asked Traver if he can go with me again Tuesday! He agreed to go, but I doubt it'll be actually confirmed because he'll probably forget x_x
Afterwards, I took them to Bojangles for the first time! Even though Patty was extremely health conscious, she ate all of her portions and really liked the ice tea! I was glad they enjoyed it ^_^ During our time at Bojangles, the topic of our family came up, and I was surprised to know that every family has their crazy side and no family's perfect! My brother and I aren't alone! It just seems like Asian families are always the craziest :P
On their last day, we went to IHOP for our last meal together, and spent most of the time gossiping about people we knew. Before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye.
I miss them so much already! I hope to see them again soon!
