Hello! day 43 of our road trip was very fun and i wish i could have more days like it. the day was spent at Jordan’s house! i woke up at a fairly good time. i had a little breakfast, got dressed, and went literally up to the house. the house is on a level up from the ground, so i had to go up some stairs. (haha) once i came up, Jordan was already awake, and we played for a while. we had fun playing Merge Tactics, Fisher Cat, and some games on my Switch. we played for a while, and then Jordan’s mom came over and told us to finish up soon, and we did. we chose a really cool board game from Jordan’s game cupboard, called Rubik’s Race. it is a game by the same company as the Rubik’s cube, and the game has a similar premise. two players race to copy a pattern of squares in a 3×3 cube scrambler. the cubes were colored on each side, and each player has 4 squares of each of the 6 colors. the board is 5×5 on each side, and there is one open space throughout the game. the cubes are scrambled, and the race is on! we decided that rotation didn’t matter as much in the harder challenges. there was also another version of play, where each player has all of the squares of 3 colors and they have t make a pattern with them. the game is really fun, and i can’t really recommend it since i don’t know what it’s sold at. we then played a game called Labyrinth, where you race to find the treasures in a maze, but you move the maze before you move your character. it will take a lot longer to explain, so i’ll move on. once we had wrapped up our games, we had a short break where i discovered a collection of “Mega Construx” which is like another brand of LEGO. it’s not actually LEGO, but it is similar and has some pieces that Lego doesn’t and the opposite is also true. the collection was of figures of Pokemon! the one i liked the most, and found the most accurate, was one called Abra. Abra is one of the smartest named Pokemon, and it is very cute. it is smartly named because its evolutions (where a Pokemon becomes another one after a condition is fulfilled) go: 1. Abra 2. Kadabra 3. Alakazam. if you look at them, it sounds like a magic spell! Abra is one of a few Pokemon that is perpetually asleep. its eyes are always closed, and i enjoyed positioning the Abra figure how it’s positioned in the game. the Abra was a very fun thing to play with. after we had lunch, Jordan’s mom was going to a thrift store to get some stuff. a thrift store is a second-hand store. Jordan showed me some of their favorite places to look for strange stuff. they explained that there was often some very interesting things because of some of the stuff that people donate. we found some interesting stuff, but not anything super weird. once we got back, we did a similar thing to what we did in the morning, and we did that until i had to get read for bed. that’s all for now. Bye! -Colin
