4th of July in Grand Forks, ND. (Day 19)

Kailey's journal.

Me and Mom, and Daddy went in the car, and got ready to start the day. We drove around. We drove around Fargo, North Dakota, to watch a movie in Marcus West Acres 14 Theater. Mom and Daddy wanted to watch, Transformers, but I did not want to myself. So we watched Transformer anyways. We got the tickets and went to see the movie.

The movie was finally done. It was a long movie. It was not that good of a movie.

After the movie we went to get something to eat at Granite City Food & Brewery.

We chosed to eat outsite instead of eating inside. It was a good weather. The manager was next table seating near us. Until my Daddy wanted to move inside because the manager and some workers were saying bad words. But the manager apologized. He even gave us a $50.00 gift certificate, and after we ate he took care of our bill!

Next, we went to Thunder Road Fun Park, it had bumper cars, go carts,

and mini golf course.

















After playing mini golf it was Daddy won the game, at one point my score was higher, but at the end Dad's had one point higher than mine. 

Then, we did the go cart  and I rode with Daddy.  Mommy won this race. And here I am with Dad on bumper cars. 



At night we drove back to Grand Forks, out went to a dirt road and light up our fireworks for the night. 


It was awesome!

We went back to the hotel and I found out I had 8 mosquito bites!!

..later went to sleep.

The End.

Day 11: Grand Forks, North Dakota. Friday, June 26, 2009.

 Early this afternoon city of Grand Forks issued a tornado warning. Around 6:00pm we heard the city's emergency loud siren sound thro out the city, a warning signed of tornado heading our way.
6:30pm- Clouds started to formed above us.
7:00pm-  Rain, heavy dark cloud is approaching, and warm air started to swirl around the area.  Minutes later, rain started to get stronger and cool air increasingly swirling above us.
By this time I decided to take my video camera out and video taped the storm.

I overheard someone in the hotel lobby said, tornado did in fact landed several blocks from our hotel. Scary!

No worries we are doing okay.

Here's the beginning of the tornado ...

Today.

Today I woke up and changed my clothes, and went to the lobby for breakfast. After breakfast I went back to our room, and just watched t.v. The somebody knocked on the door, it was the maid. I got dress, and went out of the room so the maid could clean our room. Then my Mom asked me if I check our room if she is done cleaning. I checked and went back and said, "ya" so we went back in the room.


Three hours later we walked to Columbia Mall. It looked small outside, but it is big inside. Me and my Mom went inside and it was huge. There was a lot of stores inside. I saw Claire's store so I begged Mom to go in and said, sure. I was so excited! Inside there are a lot of stuff. I got from Claire's was fake hair for 4th of July. You can put it on as your pony tale. I bought a pink, blue, and green colored flowers on it.

Then we went to Macy's and walked around. After that my ankle started to hurt so we went back to our hotel. 10 minutes later we were at the hotel, and my Dad was there too.

2 hours later I was in the pool splashing around.

1 hour later I was in bed.

The End.
