July 11 & 12

On Sunday, July 11, everyone went to church. Then Lena, my brother Davis and I went Mini-golfing. Davis won of course because he's good at all sports. It was Lena's first time golfing, she said that she had a good time. In the afternoon Mom had a party for me and invited all the Latvians. It was nice to see everyone. They were all really happy that I was doing my part for "The Cause" (Whatever the heck that is?) I don't think anyone wants to move back to Latvia, so they are happy that I'm here in their place. I told them stories of what's going on. They said that they read my articles, which is kind of scary considering I don't think some of them are that good. Others asked my opinions on the up coming Olympics. I did my best to make up something that would make the Latvian team sound hopeful. I still hadn't really looked into the Latvian Olympic team yet and was making it up as I went along. I got to play horseshoes which was really fun. I wish I had a place to play horseshoes here. On Monday Adams, Davis, Lena and I went to the Franklin Mills mall. I had reserved the day for shopping, because I know that Lena likes it. We walked around for a little, but Lena wasn't really looking for anything in particular so it was actually fun. That night we just went home. Overall on the trip I spent most nights catching up on movies and really just relaxing, because after all I was on vacation.
