Normal Weekend with a twist

Today had a rough start. My family and I woke up in Holiday Inn in Somerset. In the morning, we tried to get our receipt from a restaurant in the hotel and Scott was rushing to go to Day Park at 12:30pm. We forgot to get the receipt after we dined there and we need it in case the restaurant charges our credit card; we accidentally signed for them to do that and we paid in cash, whoops. After we left the hotel, we headed home and we were preparing to go to a Jennifer's 10th birthday party in Bridgewater. At home, we had a two hour gap to find a present, make a card, and chill. Scott left to get together with his old Schor friends at Day Park and planned to get back home at 2:30pm. I read Cat's Cradle for a while and spark noted some information about it because I got lost in the book. Later at 3:00pm, the whole family left the house and headed to the Senior Citizen Building to go get some acquaintances and head to the party all together. We never got to making the card, so we worked on it in the car. We wrote "Happy Birthday!" many times, drew a big 10, scribbled many stars and "xoxoxoxoxo"s, and we signed our names on a card within the envelope.
We drove up many steep hills, and apparently we took a longer route than we were supposed to, and arrived at the party house at 4:00pm. The house was big, white, and had a big pool in the backyard. Throughout the day, we played in the pool, we had a barbecue, played with the wii, sang happy birthday and ate cake, and talked. Jennifer, the birthday girl, is turning 10 on the 20th, loves swimming, is a beginner at golf, loves playing with her DSi, and she punches me a lot... Her sister's name is Rachel; she's 4, is short, is quiet, has a cute bed, and she punches Jennifer a lot... I talked to them a lot. When we were told that we were leaving, we actually had 30 more minutes to play since my dad was talking to their dad. And when we were outside, we saw a snake! We all got out our flashlights and went to look for it in the grass. It was muddy and wet. In the end, we never found the snake, but it was fun. We went home a little while later and said our goodbyes.
