an awesome weekend

I actually managed to get thursday and friday off, so i went with mom and steph to see my kirstyn in SLO.we drove out at 9 (we were trying for 8, but it didn't end up working out that way) and got there around 3 or 4. a couple hours later, the Bartons got back from the beach. we hung around for the rest of the evening, and ate supper. david something-or-another, and kyle and kimbria i-can't-spell-their-last-name got there from oregon around 11. the next morning aunt sharon, allison, chantal, sierra, me, phoebe, trevor, david, kyle, and kimbria went to knotts berry farm. there, we met some second cousins i didn't even know that we had, brandon and corey. one of their relatives (eston something) was with them. we stayed until 10, then went to a hotel for the night, 'cause aunt sharon didn't think that she could drive that late. it took us a while too get there, and we were all starving by then, so eston called in for 3 extra large pizza's and about 20 sodas, but they didnt get there 'till midnight, so we amused ourselves by playing haha. i was laying on chantal, who was laying on corey, who was laying on david, who was laying on me. it was hilarious. we spent half an hour just cracking up. we went back the next day, but got stuck in traffic for 3 hours, so we didn't get home until 5. we went to the beach and got all soaked and sandy, then cleaned up and went to a barbeque at one of the Friend's houses. it turned into a sing when kirk started to play the piano, but that meant that i didn't get to. gah. :P.

kirk and steph got on the train to go to montana this morning, and about an hour ago, we found out that their train ran into a semi. how does that happen? really what would a semi be doing on the railroad tracks? hehe. it was apparently in an intersection or something, and no one was hurt, but it still makes a wacky story. hehe.
cheerio for now
