Last weekend was my family vacation. We stayed on Lake Huron on some property that we rented for the weekend - it was a house and three cabins. Phil and I got our own cabin, which was nice. The weather was perfect - very warm and sunny. Phil and I got there on Friday about 4pm and left Sunday at 11am.

Some of the things we did were shopping, bike riding and swimming. My brother and I were really the only ones who swam in the cold water! My cousins brought a jet-ski so there was a little riding of that. A lot of pigging out, too!
We also played card games in the evening. I really enjoyed playing Mafia. What you do is get about 8 people together. Then you have 2 King cards, 1 Queen card, 1 Jack card and then enough number cards for the rest of the people. You mix up the cards and hand them out. One person acts as a narrator and doesn't get a card. What they say first is, "OK, everyone close their eyes and go to sleep." Everyone closes their eyes. Then they say, "Mafia, wake up." Only those people who have the King cards open their eyes. Narrator: "Mafia, who dies first?" Without speaking the Mafia choose the first victim. Narrator: "Mafia, go to sleep. Doctor, wake up." The person who has the Jack card opens their eyes. Narrator: "Mafia, who do you want to save?" The doctor, not knowing who the Mafia are or the victim, gues
ses a person to save. If they pick someone who was picked as the victim, the victim is saved. If not, the victim is out of the game. After picking the person, Narrator: "Doctor go to sleep. Police, wake up. Who do you want to arrest?" The person with the Queen card wakes up and picks someone to arrest (not knowing who the Mafia, victim or doctor are). After picking the person, Narrator: "Police, go to sleep. Everyone wake up." The narrator then explains who was the victim, whether or not the doctor saved them, and who got arrested. The policeman is now identified (but Mafia and doctor still a secret) so that everyone can try to persuade the police to arrest who they think is the Mafia (and the Mafia can try to persuade police to arrest someone else). I don't think the policeman can be picked to die as they are part of the entire game.Now, if you are chosen as the victim and not saved, you're out of the game but can keep your eyes open to watch the action. If the doctor picked you to save, you're in the game. But, no matter who you are, if the police arrest you, you are out of the game. The game continues in these rounds until all civilians (including doctor) have been killed or all of the Mafia have been arrested.
It was a really fun game, it was about strategy and teamwork and it was interesting!

It was a beautiful day for taking photos! It was about 5 o'clock in the afternoon and I think we had just come back from a bike ride. We were going to leave soon for ice cream with my grandma and aunt!
Do you have a bicycle?
I have a bicycle but we cannot just park our bicycles anywhere we want..To me its pretty troublesome because I need to look for a parking bicycle spot. That is why I prefer to walk...I am happy for you!! Do you encourage your siblings to exercise as well?
Sometimes it is hard in WB to find a place to park our bikes. Last night we went to the closest grocery store and since there were no bike racks, one of us went in the store while the other stayed with the bikes. IF both of us needed to go in or would take a long time, we would lock them with my bike cable to a bench or something. I do try to encourage my siblings to exercise. My sister is conditioning for Lacrosse right now, and if me and my brother are both at my parents' I'll suggest going for a walk or bike ride. He is exercising now on his own which is nice and has lost a lot of weight.
