JOSH HERE

Hi all Josh here.
These first 3 weeks have gone quick for me and so will the rest of the trip.
To recap what ive seen. first was the plane trip, it was so fun and exciting NOT!!! it was so boring. the only good one was Auckland to LA becuse it had the tv in the back of the seats. The stink thing was i was so tired i fell asleep for half of it.
Next we meet Uncle Evan who is in North Carolina. Evan lives with his new wife Bobby (Wifey as he calls her). Bobby has 3 daughters, Amanda 19, Renae 15 and Maria 10. They are all really nice.
While at Evans we went out on the boat. On the boat i went for a ski a kneeboard and a buiscut. While there we also brought a 2005 Dodge Durango. It has 3 rows of seats and is very comfortable.
Now we are in Florida Inverness with Gran and Poppy. We are also here with Christopher and Johnathan my cousins.
Gran and Poppy are both really nice. Gran had made Tori and I blankets which had America on it. On the blanket each state is a different colour which she had hand sown. Poppy also is fun to be around. He took Dad, Christopher and I to the stockcars. Its alot different to at home, they race on a concrete track and the had a figure 8 race.( Dad put a video of it on the blog).
Now more recent, we just went to wet n wild an awesome and huge waterpark. My favorite ride was the black hole which is like the double ride at splash planet. This one is twice as fast and alot more axillarating. the ride is also enclosed and most of it is pitch black. Toris fav ride was the Disco H2o it was an enclosed ride. It started off with drop and then it went round in a circle. It also had blaring music. Dads fav was the storm because it was the only one that scared him. The ride went down real steep and then you went round in circles and you were flying when you got out of the drop. The drop must of been 10m and on a 45 degree angle. Some other rides were Brain Wash which had a huge drop and you went up real high on the sides. Mach 5 was another one and there was 3 ways you could go down on it. A wave pool, Bubba Tub and the Surge. You can check the website for pictures www.wetnwildorlando.com.
So thats my first 3 weeks hope to write again soon.

you are so lucky to be warm
Hi sounds like you had a fantastic day at Wet and Wild - hard to believe it was warm enough to go swimming anywhere when it is 5 degrees outside today, and has been most of this week - too cold to do much - fingers are frozen most of the day. Oh to be warm. Love the photo of you eating the turkey leg - must be a monster turkey. Sounds like you had a great game of golf today - Tiger Claridge. Granpop said that you were better than Uncle Chris and Granpop, and they have had years of practice - go Josh. Love to everyone Jurl and co
