Thanksgiving Break Story

This year i had a pretty low key Thanksgiving. Nothing out of the ordinary.
On Tuesday i got home from school and packed my bags for our little trip. then i went to my friend's house down the street.
While at my friend Ally's house we ate beef stew and salmon burgers for dinner. after that we made hot chocolate and watched movies. we watched signs, miss congeniality, and jurassic park 3.
at midnight i went home and went to bed because the next day me and my parents got up at 5 in the morning to go to Fort Worth.
We got up and made it to Fort Worth by 8:30. on our way to my grandmother's house we ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel. I had pancakes which tasted more like crepes than pancakes.
When we arrived army grandmother's we all showered and got ready for the day. Then we made our plans for the day.
My parents and i went to an antique mall with my Aunt Cynthia to look at furniture for our guest room. Then we had a little snack afterward at a barbecue restaurant.
When we got back to my grandmother's house my older brother Ian had arrived from College Station. Before we went to dinner we all watched The Hobbit: an Unexpected Journey.
My aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandmother, parents, brother, cousin, and his friends ate dinner at a var called Fred's. i thought the chicken tender's and french fries were very good.
After we ate some of us played pool and the rest watched. Then everybody headed home for the night.
On Thursday i got up got ready and my family and i headed to my other grandmother's house for Thanksgiving lunch. Before we ate lunch i visited with my cousins and aunts and worked english homework.
Then we ate lunch i had turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, and rolls it was delicious. later on i also had pumpkin pie and dressing.
After lunch i did more visiting and homework until we headed back to my grandmother's house we were staying at. We then had Thanksgiving again. however this time after dinner we played Heads Up.
Heads Up is an app that was created by Ellen were you put your phone on your head and other people give you clues and the person the phone on their head tries to guess what is on the phone. It is like charades or Taboo.
We all got really in to the game so it was very fun. For the rest of the night we visited until everybody else went home. then i went to bed.
On Friday after i got ready my aunt,my mother, my grandmother and i went shopping at an antique mall. I was bored most of the time but i did find a really cute pair of cowboy boots that were a great price and were barely worn. So that was an awesome find.
We then returned to my grandmother's house before heading downtown. while downtown we watched the beginning of the annual Parade of Lights then saw Catching Fire. It was my second time seeing the movie and it was amazing.
After the movie we went to dinner at Mi Cocina a mexican resturaunt and there nachos were very yummy. I wish there was one in Austin.
The next morning we left Fort Worth and got home to Austin in the early afternoon. For the rest of the day i watched movies. There was a Star Wars marathon and a Spiderman marathon on so i watched both of those then went to bed.
On sunday i woke up, got ready, ate lunch, started my homework at 1 and i finished my homework at Eight at night. I spent the whole day doing homework then i went to bed.
That was m Thanksgiving Break, it was fun  but not too exciting.
