Ready for the weekend?

This weekend was amazing. We got family visits: Michele's (my host mom) brother and his two sons came over from Florida - The smaller ones are CRAZY!! :D
We actually took off of school on monday to spend more time with them and on Saturday I didn't get to spend time with them because I was at Cindy's house to build a "Gravity Vehicle" for Science Olypiade which comes up next Saturday, then went golfing with her and in the evening we went to the cinema to see "The Vow". It was such a wonderful, romantic movie! And it's based on a true story. If you didn't see it yet - Go watch it!!


However the two boys of 6 and 8 have been crazy. Conor and Aiden didn't stop having energy!!! They both are very cute though. We played basketball, chess, softball, football , painted pictures, and all this fun stuff. But their passion was shooting toy guns. In the beginning I've been a little afraid but it turned out being absolutely funny and in the end I really liked it :) The first day they forgot that I'm staying here there too because I wasn't there on Saturday and I went to the bathroom in the morning and they kept staying in front of it because they thought Whitney was in there! The second day when they knew about me, though they kept asking "Who is Lara?" to make me angry, they kept shooting at my door until I woke up... It was bad... I texted Michele "Help me!" :DD They are so cute.
Furthermore we went hiking with them. You seriously can't compare hiking here to hiking in Germany haha. Actual mountain hiking in Germany is much harder what I got I discover last summer in Austria with my dad... But I really like it, it was fun.
Then we visited some more family and drove the four-wheeler in their garden. It reminded me on driving the Jet Ski just that driving the Jet Ski is much better and I realized I kinda miss that.
But the best thing of that weekend was our visit at a Fish Hatchery called "Wolf Creek". It was so awesome!!! Whitney and me came in and at the beginning of the small museum was a cage out of glass and I went like: "What are we looking for?" Whitney: "We're looking for that!" and she pointed on a little frog statue at the edge of the cage. And suddenly it moved!!!! I jumped. Seriously. I jumped. I got such a big shock hahaha :D The frog was actually escaping haha :D Now I can laugh about it, but at that moment I was so scared :D
We've been able to see so many things that live in Kentucky in there, it was so awesome! There was a skunk and a woman pulled it out of his cage and he was soooooooooooooo cute :))) Small, and fluffy, and simply cute ♥
There has been a whole lot of fish too but I'm not that interested in fish so whatever though the fish eggs have been quite interesting.
We've been able to watch a movie about animals in Kentucky and there've been several skins (of dead animal) to touch such as the rattle snake, a biever, etc.
The most creepy thing were the snakes though. They had to snakes and they let us touch one of them. It was weird. Snake skin is weird because snakes are like one big muscle and you can feel everything... Creeeeeepy!
The woman who worked there was sooo nice! She gave us a little part of the skin that the snake turned off once. So awesome because it's so rare but also kinda creepy haha :) And she gave a self made cooking towel which shows the landscape of Kentucky on it to me. She was soo nice! :))
All in all it was a perfect weekend and I'd love to do it all over again, haha :D
Hope you had a great weekend too! Pictures later ;) C ya
