Coos Bay Family Visit

This week, Jeff, Emily and I (Jasmine) went down to Coos bay OR, I was supper nervous but also really excited (I call it being nervited) the drive was really long but worth it because we saw many beautiful sites along the way. I was lucky enough to see a Bald Eagle on the way there. Once we finally arrived in Coos Bay after 4 and 1/2 hours in the car, we went to the hotel we were staying at and checked in. Once everything was settled, Jeff took a nap, while Emily texted my sisters Selena and Marissa. She told them we were settled and ready for visitors. Marissa couldn’t stay long but we went out to dinner with Selena to The Rodeo Steak house. After dinner we went back to the hotel and Selena and I went walking around the hotel to talk, we ended up coming back to the hotel room to put on our swimsuits and went to the pool.

On Saturday Jeff, Emily and I ate breakfast at the Hotel, and texted my sisters asking for them to come over. We then decided to go out for lunch at a Sandwich place to meet my grandpa that I haven’t seen in so long. After we ate lunch we then went to the Pottery CO and painted some pottery, I did a monkey, Marissa did a tile, Selena did a skull and a turtle, and my mom did a cube with moons, stars, and other things, while the men (my dad and biological grandpa ) walked around discussing man stuff.

We ended the day by going back to the hotel for 5 min, to discuss what we would do for dinner, because by the time we were done with pottery it was 6 o’clock. We ended up going to an Italian place, I of course rode with my sisters, who played Miley Cyrus’s song Party In the USA. It was really fun , but by the time we were finished eating and done telling embarrassing, funny stories about me, it was 9pm. We then went back to the hotel and my sisters and I then went to the pool and swam until 10pm. They didn’t end up leaving until 11pm.

During our last day in Coos Bay, we went to the beach, and then to the Restaurant Marissa works at for lunch. She sat with us until we were done, and then said her goodbye with many many tears, I didn’t cry until I was about 30 min away from them on the road home.

Dad Daughter Day

At 8:17 am Jeff and I got up to get ready and leave by 8:30, we were on our way to a fun day of activities.

After my dads back adjustment we headed over to Donut Land to get some yummy savory donuts. I got a messy powdered donut and a glossy twisted glaze, while my Dad got a apple fritter.

Then we drove over to the Tualatin Community Park to use the swings and take a long walk. During our walk we talked about what to do for our next daddy daughter day. We also discussed what to do about lunch, my Dad gave me the choices of either The Mongolian Grill or an Indian Buffet (I chose the buffet). Also during our walk we went past the dog park area, in the dog park we saw these two things, a man made fire hydrant (for the dogs to pee on not your Dad), and three dogs fighting over who gets to catch the ball.

When we were done taking our walk we walked just a little bit more to a boat race and art festival. At the boat race we saw some late hatched baby ducks, and their mom. After we followed the baby ducks we went over to the art festival and looked around and saw some amazing art.

Once we looked at all the art and got really hungry, around 11:30 we left and went to the Indian Buffet to get a lot of really delicious food. Once we got home we watched two movies, Ant man and a scary movie called Krumpus, during Krumpus Jeff got bored and started to play on his phone so I got upset and turned off the movie and left.

Meeting Marissa

Jasmine got to visit her eldest sister Marissa at her little sisters house. During the visit Marissa and Jasmine got to catch up on many things, got to hug and share a few crys. Jasmine also got to meet and hold her Neice Gracelynn and also got to meet her sisters boyfriend. In the end we planned on another visit in Newport, OR, Jasmine got her last hug until the next visit, she wa really excited to finally meet her sister but was really upset when Marissa had to leave. But Jasmine such an amazing time.

Outdoor School

On a cloudy Monday morning Emily and Jasmine left for outdoor school at Camp Mumanu. We all scurried onto the bus to be seated for an hour drive all the way near Mt. Hood. When we got there it was about 12pm so we ate lunch and then took a tour of the campsite. There were two cabin areas.

After we had a tour of the place, we got our cabins assigned. I bunked with my friend Trynity. I got bottom and she got top. Then we got into groups with our cabins. And some went on a hike, some did Oregon history, some did nature stuff, etc.

On Wednesday we left at 11am and got back to school at 12pm in time for the school party.
