Chapter ll

He was in a REALLY good mood! He was really sad that he missed the girls though. He had brought us all home presents. Mine was a $50 certificate to the movie theater in town and Anna's was a new game for her DS. He also bought my mom a princess diamond ring set in silver and when she asked where he got all of his money he told us he had been putting a little bit of money out every month so that we could have these gifts (we later found out it was from a drug deal). After that he took us all out to the fanciest restaurant (besides Lambournes) so we could have a peaceful good dinner while the little girls were gone. He announced to us that since he was so good with his job and being a good example (I silently laughed and rolled my eyes at that one) he was getting a promotion. My mom was really excited for him. Anna and I exchanged glances then decided we'd better play along. When we were done my dad pulled out 4 tickets to New York's Broadway and told us he had already packed our bags and we were leaving that night. He also said he had planned for the grandparents to take the little ones so we could enjoy this fun trip. We had to drive clear across the country to get there! I told my dad we needed to go home to get some entertainment stuff so he let us and we were off.
We had a lot of fun and had tons of fun adventures. We got to go into the Statue of Liberty and see all of the fun tall buildings. The whole way though I was missing Jake and Paige but they told me they were doing fine and for me to have fun and not miss them. Anna had the best time of her life and everyone was really glad to see her that happy. We also met a couple of celebrities; Hannah Montana, Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Hudgens, and Hilary Duff; and the President! Anna was crying when she met all those people. She told us it was the best time of her life. When we got home it had been 2 weeks but luckily we didn't miss that much school because it was part of April/May break.
When I got back it was really busy doing lots of catch up homework and getting ready for my end of level tests. And then school was out.
