We missed three blogs because there was no electricity. We still don’t have electricity so maybe tomorrow or maybe the day after that. The big giant storm knocked the electricity things out and just our block has none. We have been using candlelight at night and it’s not that cool because we have to do a fire and light a lot of candles. There’s no light and we are in ancient times. I am showering and going to the bathroom in the dark with candles.

On Saturday, we woke up, did our morning routine, and it was raining a lot so we didn’t do anything. We played keepy uppy, which is where you have a balloon and it’s where you don’t let the balloon touch the ground. We have to only hit it one time and wherever the balloon goes we have to hit it. I found the balloon under the chair. It was a cool find.

I went into the garden and we have bad news. I touched a certain tree, which the sap had a bad chemical. Luckily I didn’t eat it because it would make you sick and diarrhea. My hands started to feel frozen because the bad chemical/poison came onto my hands and started a really bad hurtness and itchiness. I couldn’t eat lunch and mommy had to feed me. We are going back in time everybody. I’m as young as Odin now.

After lunch, we put cream on my hands and I held onto a cup of ice and watched tv. Then we relaxed for awhile. I ate dinner, and right after I ate dinner I put my hands in a cool cold bath. I got myself into the cold water then I took a shower and then all of a sudden the lights were out and we heard the biggest thunderstorm we ever heard in our entire lives in Guatemala.

Then I rested my hands while the others played some card games and then I went to bed.

On Sunday, we woke up, we did our normal routine and we rested a little bit while Kayla and Kianna were sleeping. I went to the coffee farm and we ate outside. There was a hammock and a wooden swing. A little bit later something crazy happened on the swing, the swing slipped over and I was hanging upside down. I called my mommy to help me, I hanged on as long as I can and she saved me.

I went on a little bit of a run with Kayla and a little bit of a walk with Kianna. I brought my walking stick through some muddy puddles and I accidentally got my left shoe so dirty. So then we walked a little bit more then we walked back to the restaurant. It was an outside restaurant. Then we played put put golf for fun. It was a nature put put. Then I got an ice pop. Then we walked and we saw this so cute dog, he or she loved Kayla and Kianna. He or she was so nice that she scared another dog away. Then we took an Uber, which means take a car ride back home. Then we went back home and still no power. We did our night routine and we played one game or go fish but the rest rummy. Then we went to bed.

Monday we woke up did our normal routine. Then we walked to school, we sat in a different room today. I like it. Me gusta (which means, I like it). I learned today but I didn’t write it in my book so I don’t remember anything. Then I had pausa (break) and we went to this cool breakfast place even though it was not breakfast. It was on the roof and we saw the volcano erupting. It was so cool.

We went back to school, then I learned more. Then I listened to Bones in Spanish and in English. Then we brought scrabble letters and we wrote words in Spanish. I think we won by 4 points, I think. It was veinte y cinco to veinte y uno (25 to 21). Then school was over. I came home, ate lunch, I had three hot dogs and some papas fritas (which means French fries). Then after we relaxed, the girls went to a cafe. After they were done with the cafe we played keepy uppy with sitting instead of standing. We had to keep the balloon in the circle. Our record was cuarenta y seis I think (46). Then we went to cerro de la Cruz and took gymnastics pictures.

Then we took a picture with a butterfly wings. Everybody did. Then we went to a fancy restaurant and I was the king of the table. My cup said principe which means prince. I had steak, chicken, shrimp, I tried a chip with mashed up beans and pico de Gallo but I did not like it. I had corn and papas fritas. Then we went to Starbucks to tour ourselves. Then we walked to our ice cream place but they didn’t have ice pops so we walked to the ice pop place and I got an orange ice pop. Then we walked home and took a shower in the dark with the candle. Then Kianna wrote a English song in Spanish and I helped her with some of it. Then I walked to my bed and I did this blog. The end. That’s my long blog.
