MY COUSIN BROCK
Everyone gets excited some people more than others, its human nature. My little cousin Brock especially, the kid is just interested in everything. He loves sports, specifically Rugby and basketball. He has a dog named Kodiak and a bunny named Carlos. He dirt bikes and plays the drums and he reads every night. Not bad for a nine year old. Every time I’m around the guy he has something new to tell me or show me that he’s excited about, but one specific incident sticks out in my mind where he could not contain himself. On a Sunday evening about three years ago me and my family where getting ready to go to church. I was in the shower and the phone rang I missed it but after I got out my mom told me that it was Brock and he had something to tell me. I didn’t really care to much to talk to him at that moment because I was going to see him at church anyway. We got in the church and my dad’s sister (Brocks mom), Jax, Todd and Brock were nowhere to be found, but we weren’t worried there always late. The sermon began on time and they arrived about five minutes after. Brock tried to talk to me (his thing) but my aunty Marry shhhed him. That didn’t deter him time and time again he attempted to tell me his big thing but to no avail seeing that we were separated by our parents. Finally Brock stomped across the row and said in a rather loud voice that Joey’s fish n chips had a big yellow blow up fish in the restaurant. Me, my brother griffin and Brocks brother Jax all started laughing, but our parents were not impressed because it did disturbed a few people trying to listen to the priest . After church Brock convinced the group to go to joeys and lone behold the fish was there. We ate as he marvelled at it and it was quite funny, but to this day I still think its crazy that he went to all that trouble just to tell me about some inflatable fish.

CHRISTMAS
This Christmas I went to Honolulu and Vegas. I’ve been to both of them before so it wasn’t any place new, but it was still nice to get away. I left 2 days before school ended which was nice because I didn’t want to stick around, and I needed a break. We went to Honolulu first. Whenever I’m in Hawaii I surf as much as I can so I did that most of the time I was on the beach we also went snorkeling and went to dinner with some family friends who live on the island, and towards the end of the trip we went to Pearl Harbor and went zip lining. We left on Christmas day for Vegas so we opened presents in the hotel which was different but something I’ll remember for a long time after that we went for brunch and then off to the airport. We left around two in the afternoon and got in to Vegas around eleven at night. We have a house there, so I was in the pool most of the time, but I did a little shopping and ate at some nice restaurants which was fun. We came back six days before school started and it was pretty chilli when your use too nice weather for 2 weeks straight coming back to minus seven weather isn’t pleasant.
