More fun activities

I think sleeping is a pretty fun activity, so I did a lot of that during our 4-day weekend. On Monday, Curtis had us ride our bikes to watch a fireworks show near the stadium. At some point, I was wondering about the appeal of watching fireworks as there’s not much to do besides looking at the sky, but at other times, I was in awe because they were so pretty and loud. Now I want to go to Disney’s Magic Kingdom again. It was completely dark on the way back home, so driving through the trees was kind of spooky. The thing that reassured me was the fact that I could somewhat see Curtis’s shadowy figure as we followed the red lights from bikers who just so happen to miraculously show up in front of us. On the next day, Curtis took me on a bike ride to some secret place; I think we drove around a corn field. There were some mulberries growing around, and we came across bee hives. I wouldn’t dare to lay down right next to a hive and just stare directly at the buzzing bees. That’s what Curtis did. On the way back home, we stopped by to visit two young horses. They came up to us with lots of excitement, and I petted them as they continued to munch on grass. On another day, Curtis made me ride my bike as he ran 6 miles. We traveled through a tunnel, went on a bridge, drove through nature trails, and even passed the water park. Overall, I have a lot of fun whenever Curtis takes me on a bike ride around the city even though I always come back drenched in sweat (cold showers have never felt so good). I also find it funny whenever Curtis asks me if I want to go because I always say ‘ok’ rather than a ‘yes’ or ‘no’. I guess it’s the only response that feels true to me for now.

Besides bike rides, Curtis took me to play disc golf with his friend Trey. I’ve never played it before, but they kept complimenting me saying I had amazing throws. Meanwhile, I had no clue what I was doing, but I guess I didn’t do so bad for my first time. We all also had a pasta session. I never made pasta before, so I had a lot of fun moving the dough through the machine to make spaghetti. I also helped Curtis and Ayman a bit in making tomato sauce. I think it turned out nice. In the end, I ate like four small bowls of pasta because of how good it was. We had even gone to the Creamery beforehand, so I had some peanut butter-flavored ice cream as dessert.
