The car ride home

Today we got packed to go home.  After we were all finished packing we said good bye to our cousins that were also leaving.  Then we went down to the craft shop to get mom and Karina who were packing our stuff we made.  Then we were on our way home.  On the way we stoped at mcdonalds for lunch and saw our cousins Amy and her children and Amy's sister Julia.  We finully made it home and got finished unpacking.  Then daddy, Isaiah,Nicholas,Jamaiya, and I went to go get pezza and pick out a christmas tree.  Then we came home and ate dinner.  After dinner we put up our tree and decorated it.

Thursday November 25

Today it rained all day until dinner so Sally drove me to the craft shop because she also wanted to see it. We got there and the place was packed, but we made a lot of stuff. Soon I was ready to go back to the room.  I said good bye to Sally,mom,and Alex, our cousin, and walked back to the room. I stayed in the room until 1:00.  That's when we got to have Thanksgiving.

For Thanksgiving we had many wonderful things to choose from.  We had turkey, ham, potatos and gravy, salad, and rolls.   After I was full I went back to the room and went to bed until 4:00; I was not feeling well. After my nap\ I walked to the craft shop and it was not long until the craft lady said we had 10 more minutes until it closed.  After it closed I left the craft shop and went to have dinner.

Tuesday November 23

Today I went to the craft shop and stayed there all day untill lunch.    After lunch we went back into the craft shop.  Then I came back to our room and took a nap.:)  When I woke up it was round up time so I went to round up and then went to dinner.  Here is what I think of everything.

1. I think the craft shop is so much fun.

2. The shooting range was fun even though I didn't hit the target.
3. Archery is so much fun. I hit the target with every arrow I shot except for one.

A long day

Monday November 22

Today we went to a shooting range, archery, and the craft shop.  Then we went to have round up.Round up is where we all get to together and talk and sing.  I told them about China and made them all laugh.  Then we went and had dinner. I thought the craft shop and the shooting range and archery where so much fun.

At the shooting range and archery range, I got to shoot guns and shoot bows and arrows.   I was better at the bows and arrows than the guns.

The long car ride

Sunday November 21

Today, we were on are way to the Y.M.C.A. of the Ozarks for a family reunion.  This reunion is for my mom's side of the family.  We all got in the van except for Eboni and Nicholas.     They will be joining us on Monday.  The car ride was long and boring and I couldn't sleep.  Good thing it was only 5 hours long.  But we finully made it to the Y.M.C.A. of the Ozarks.  When we got there we got cheeked in and got settled.

Reflections......

When the plane hit the ground I was super excited to see my family.   Grandma and Grandpa were there as well. 


The visit to China was very fun but it is nice to be home. 

Here are some of my thoughts or reflections about my trip.

1.   I like our stores like Wal Mart better.  The stores in China have a funny smell.
2.   The sweet and sour chicken in China was the best ever!
3.   We dont have a driver like Mr. Xu in Arkansas.  I liked having someone there to drive me wherever I wanted to go.
4.  Also, at my house, we dont have what they call an IE.  This person cleans and cooks for you.  I want one!
5.  I would love to go back to China when I am older and maybe even live there.
