Swimming Fun Again!

I know I didn't post anything about July 4, but I didn't do much. I just went to my grandparent's house again to visit. The visits are really fun though!

Today we went to church with my cousin Byron, then went to eat lunch. After lunch, we went to a Hong Kong club where there's golf, swimming pool, changing rooms, and lots of other stuff.

So my brothers, Byron, Byron's parents, and I went to that place. While Byron's dad went golfing, Byron, my brothers, and I went swimming. (Byron's mom watched over us.) At swimming, there was a mini pool about 2 feet deep for little toddlers. Then, there's a big pool for everyone else. It goes so deep! If my oldest brother stands on the deepest part and he raises his arms, his hands don't even reach the surface! So maybe Yao Ming would be able to reach it with his head still above the water because my oldest brother is not much shorter than my dad. In the most shallow part of the pool, if I go on flat feet, my head is barely above the water. We played this game where we have two rings, and somebody throws it to somewhere in the pool and the rest of us have to go and race to get it. I only got it once in the shallow part because I didn't want to dive so deep in the already deep part. I'm not a very good swimmer, to let you know. :( Then, we used the floaty noodles and played this thing where two people hold each end of the noodle and some other person tries to jump over it into the pool. That way, we won't get hurt! And if you land on the noodle, it wouldn't hurt and it wouldn't break either.

After playing around for about an hour, the sky got REALLY black, and we saw the black cloud go slowly over us. It was scary! Actually, not really because we got into the changing rooms before it started to rain. It only rained really hard at first, and I was taking a shower anyway so I couldn't hear it. :P The changing/shower room is really cool by the way! In the counter place, there's a huge mirror and some chairs where people can sit and slowly put on make-up, or do their hair, or whatever they want to do. On it, there are a box of clean combs, and a box to put used combs. There are also blow dry things, sunscreen, baby powder (in the kids place), lotion, hand sanitizer, showers (obviously), clean towels, bathrooms, and lockers. And don't worry, there's a children's side and an adult's side! I went to the children's side of course.

We went to dinner with everyone, like Faith, Will, Byron, etc.

I couldn't sleep yesterday! That's why I woke up at like, 10:45 A.M. :P
