07262011 Summer 2011

This summer is special; there are a lot of things going on. For example, my aunt Sabrina, little cousin Josh, and my uncle Eric came and visit us from Taiwan, going to Vancouver Island, Whistler, playing basketball outside, and also doing chores.

On the night of July/15/2011, I was super excited because my family from Taiwan is coming to visit the next day. I couldn’t sleep, but something unexpected happened. We got phone call at about 12:00 Pm saying that my aunt is coming over to our house in about 50 minutes! The whole family was stunned, we did our best cleaning up the whole house, vacuuming the floor and picking up scrap piece of garbage from every corner of the house. Finally, the doorbell rang at 1:00 AM. I ran to the door as fast as I could and burst the door open, I was so delighted when I saw my uncle, little cousin at the door. Me and Josh (my cousin) talked and played all night until about 3:30 AM, what a crazy day! I looked forward to go to Vancouver Island and Whistler with them.

The trip to Whistler was spectacular! There are tons of sweet mountain bikes with disk brakes at Whistler. Also, there are verities of shops there. My favourite shops in whistler were Lids, and QuickSilver. Lids have a lot of cool and awesome hats; I saw this one that is a toque and hat combined. I wanted it so bad, but t was $50, my mom won’t let me buy it. The QuickSilver shop had a lot of interesting summer clothing, but sadly, I didn’t want to buy it because things in whistler are really expensive.

Vancouver Island was also amazing. I went to Nanaimo, the beautiful Butchart Gardens and a lot more fun places. Nanaimo had a famous town called Chemairus; it has countless mirrors (wall painting). I see them everywhere I go. The Butchart Gardens was one of the best gardens I’ve seen in a while. There are the Japanese, Italian, rose garden, and a lot more terrific gardens. I had a really fun time there.
