The Harvest Festival

Yesterday, a friend (April) asked me to go with her to the Harvest Festival that was being held at the skateboarding park. I agreed and Mom, Dad, and John ended up going with me even though we didn't hang out. April and i had fun going on the moon bounce, doing the cup stacking, dancing, playing games, eating, doing cheerleading, and just hanging out.
First we went on the the moon bounce. There were like three rowdy boys that were in with us. They would jump on each other and it almost looked like they were killing each other! Once, I slipped (it actually looked like i was in slow motion!) and fell. April was standing right next to me and i bumped into her. We both fell down and couldn't stop laughing. Then we made our way over to the Cup Stacking and April got the highest score. I tried but that is another story that I'm NEVER going to tell! I saw a couple of kids from Gurrie and we said hello. It was cool that my parents could see some of the kids that i hang out with for five days a week. We played a game and we were the only teens that played. Two other Gurrie kids tried to play but they had to sing a song so they just watched. Some of the songs that i heard being played were Burnin up (Jonas Brothers), a song by Miley Cyrus, Toxic (the first time i heard it was on Frida's computer), and a few of songs that they played at the Fun Night.
April and I also did some gymnastics/cheerleading for me. I found out that we both are at the same level. We both can do cartwheels, one handed cartwheels, round offs, back bends, and we both tied at racing each other. i think she's the perfect friend here in America (not in Niger because i have a whole bunch of BFFs). Sometimes i felt bad for John 'cause he had to hang out with Mom and Dad since Dominique couldn't come (not that Mom and Dad aren't fun to hang out with).

Susan didn't come and i haven't seen her in like two days. That's because she ignored me yesterday and threw tomatoes at me. She's been hanging out with Matt (an old friend of April) and he was going to pay her money to be mean to us. Then Matt said all these bad things about me and Susan didn't really deny it. I felt so bad about Susan and Matt doing all those things to me. I don't plan on talking to EVER again or until she apologizes to me and actually means it. It's almost like she is dating Matt. If he was the same age, they would probably be going out by now. i feel a little bad for April because she now has no one to hang out with who lives by her.

That's way off subject so i'll just close by saying: I LOVED THE HARVEST FESTIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
