Special Guests

 This past weekend, we had some specials guests come visit. Yep, Grammie and Gramps came. Since Adam and I have been getting into magic tricks, we performed a magic show for everyone. Our Magic Show was called Keen Magic. We only showed magic tricks that didn't have a lot of set-up. It turned out pretty good and awesome. After the magic show we had a dessert similar to apple dumplings. Now there was a big reason why Grammie and Gramps came. They came because Adam was having his first Holy Communion. I dressed up in a mint dress with imprints of flowers that went to my knees, and a jean jacket. 

 Yes, I know your thinking why even think about doing Adam's First Holy Communion in the church even though corona virus is around, but we were safe because we wore our masks and when we received the host we took our masks off, but not for to long. After mass, we took pictures by a statue outside of the church. 

A Mountain Day!

 Sometimes it's nice to take a day trip to explore or just take a break from all the commotion back at home. Mom and Dad thought it would be fun to take a day trip to the mountains (still in NC), so we went to the mountains on a beautiful, lovely Saturday. It was a 2 hour and 30 minute ride. but I didn't mind. When we got there, we did our first trail called the Hanging Rock trail. The beginning of the trail was just a sandy trail but later in the trail, we ran into a sign that said Warning. This is where the trail started getting exciting.
 We started climbing up rocks. It was really fun; I enjoyed it. When we got to the top, we got a beautiful view of the mountains surrounding us.

 Along with the trails, there were waterfalls. There was Cascade falls, Hidden falls, and another one that we didn't get to see. We took a nice picnic lunch in the shade that fueled us back up from all that walking. What a fun day trip.

Now I know that I have talked about our cozy corner, but we changed the name. Now its Cora and Adam Reading Den. CARD for short. Its always nice to take a relaxing day in our CARD.

Birthdays, Rockets, and houses!

 Its May, the month of Adam's birthday, and my brother turned eight! We had a fun celebration filled with gifts and cake. Oh, and don't forget the balloons. The cake was lemon marine, one of my favorite cakes. Dad did a good job making, it was very good. You know, I am a kid, so I can't really buy anything for Adam, but I made him a card. Mom told me that she wanted me to make a ticket for Adam for Trolls World Tour. It was a new movie that we could stream. Of coarse, I forgot to say what we had for dinner. Adam decided that he wanted tortellini soup, buttered bread, and a bowl of cherries.  Also something very exciting happened not to long after Adam's birthday. NASA was launching a rocket ship to the International Space Station. Luckily, I got to see it. It was so cool to see. Amazingly, the rocket booster landed perfectly. I didn't know what to expect since I had never seen a rocket launch in my life. It was amazing and interesting at the same time.

 Lately, there hasn't been much going on. Since it was Adam's birthday, he got a lot of toys and stuff to keep him entertained. Grammie and Gramps got him an electric house, so for a couple days we were busy building houses. They were very fun.
