I'm at my Uncle Elliot's with my younger brother Josh. We're here cause we are gonna have a new brother or sister soon and the grown ups don't want us in the way or something like that. I love coming here cause there is always something fun to do. Sometimes we watch tv. Blues Clues is my favorite. Though I've been here enough to know to avoid my cousin cause he bites, and hard. At least it wasn't me that got bit last. To bad for Josh. Luckily he's not here today. Good. Ok to the bean bag to watch some Bear in the Big Blue House, that's what's usually on around this time. Josh is tagging along with me. Great now he's gonna try to get the big bean bag, don't worry you're faster, and go, running, running. Ha I made it. Aw man! I didn't think of that, now he has the remote. Perhaps I can trick him or something... But just then Uncle Elliot walks in "Hey dudes" he does kinda talk weird, at least that's what the grown ups say. Something about the seventies or something. Whatever that means. Then he said something he rarely says "who's up for going to the playground" well it sure got a squeal from Josh but I'm exited too cause I love the slide, especially the all round one, that one is the funnest. We get dressed up cause its a little cold outside. It'll be spring soon just not yet. Riding in the car its kinda noisy, maybe cause this one isn't nice like others but he said it was safe and I trust him but riding in the car everything moves so fast. Trees just move at the speed of blur, it's kinda scary and bumpy. At least we made it. Aw man. Figures, no one else. To bad I guess it must be cause its a little cold out. Hmmm. Oh well guess that means no waiting in line, which is nice. Over to the red, twisty slide. To bad Josh is to afraid to use this one cause its fun to go with another kid. Well I'm still gonna slide I climb the ladder and position my self and then push off. Air rushing. Red everywhere. It's so nice. Then I plop out the bottom. That was SO fun!! Gotta do it again. Oh it's even better that time. Much nicer not having to waiting in line. I'll never tire of this. I'm just about to go for my nine plus four more time but then I see josh standing there "can you push me on the swing" he asks. Hmm well if I don't then he's gonna whine and that's kinda annoying. "Sure" I say but just then I hear Uncle Elliot calling. Hmm wonder what he wants I gotta go and see. Haha there he is near the tic-tac-toe squares. Maybe I'll beat him this time but I never do. "Ok, best of three then we gotta hit the road" he says. Hmm that sounds easy. "Can I go first" I ask. "Yes, of course" he said. Yes first move, I'll surely win. But in a few moves he's already won. What?!? How... "We can let Josh try 'K" Says Uncle Elliot. Hmm what choice do I have. And of course he loses. No on can beat my uncle. No one. Well I guess we gotta go. I was fun while it lasted. Back to the trailer park. When we got there the phone was already ringing crazy like. Uncle Elliot seemed pretty exited. When he hung up he looked to us and said "you guys have a new sister, her name is Rachel "
