Hello. yesterday was an interesting day. it was the day of charley’s birthday party, and i was going too. the morning actually started out fairly well; i got up, had unfortunately little breakfast, got dressed, and went upstairs to say hi to Charley and Shelby. we played the normal stuff that morning, but when we went outside, we only had a little time before we had to go to Charley’s party! it was a pool party, so we changed into our swimsuits and, after a few minutes, went to the pool. once we got there, we found out that the time had been a bit mixed up and was now a 1 1/2-hour to 2-hour party. that was definiteley a good thing, so we went in! the pool water wasn’t very cold, so it was the perfect tempurature for a pool party. i jumped in, which i do not usually do. the party was mainly just alternating between jumping, swimming around, and playing with the floaties. the party had little points of interest. once we got back, which happened after Charley and Shelby had, i went out to check on the backyard to find out that all of Charley’s friends from the party were also there. i was a bit confused at first, but i just stayed inside for a while. i came out a little while later to play a bit, and i did. i was not feeling the best, since i had a headache for some reason, but the main small problem i had was… everyone else was younger than me! it seems like in a lot of shows or movies have the younger people wanting to be the oldest, but it is really tiring. the whole time, at least one person wanted to play with me, and i was only up to it, like, 37.4% of the time. i eventually went inside for almost the rest of the time, but i came in mainly due to my headache. it was really hurting a lot at that point, so i had a lie down on the couch for a while. thankfully, nobody except for Shelby and sometimes Charley came inside. i eventually came outside again to get some food, and i had a hot dog. after we had all had our food, which took a long time due to som of the younger ones’ energy levels, we had some cake. the icing was really sweet, and i could only finish 3/4 of my slice. after a while, i went inside for the remainder, and eventually Charley and Shelby’s friends left. after that, i spent most of my time teaching Charley some special building techniques in Minecraft. after that, me and daddy left for the last time this trip, and that’s all. That’s everything for now. Bye! -Colin
