Hey Raphy!
I’m writing one for all three of us this time! Did everyone have an exciting and colorful 4th of July? Well, my sisters and I did! On the 3rd, we left for Memphis, Tennessee to see family on my mom’s side, and decided to stop in Alabama to see our grandparents on my dad’s side. Coincidentally, they were going to Memphis as well for the 4th. So we spent the night and headed off to Memphis the morning of the 4th!! So when we got to Memphis we went to a hotel, freshened up, and went to go see the family!!! Then we went from house to house, uncle to auntie, reminiscing and hanging out! We stopped at our Aunt Rose’s house to watch my mom’s episode of o House of Payne, the one where Janine’s parents first show up! But unfortunately, the cable went out right before it came on!!! But thank God we were 5 minutes away from my mom’s best friend’s house, Ms. Marcia or Ms. Mot is what we call her and we watched it there! So after that we stayed at her house playing with her two kids Makayla and Nicholas! Lauryn, China, Gabriel, Nicholas, and Makalya shot fireworks in the sky with the help of Mr. Curtis, Ms. Mot’s husband!! Unfortunately, I had a terrible headache so I couldn’t help. But I enjoyed the light show from inside! We then left shortly after that and headed back to the hotel. The next morning we spent time with our grandparents from my dad’s side. But before we did we said goodbye to my mom’s family! Then we headed to the Peabody Hotel to meet up with our grandparents, and shortly there-after, we went to the mall!! We went to place called Jillians and ate (and then ended up signing autographs and taking pictures haha!) So we got some ice cream, ran into my mom’s cousin, and then we were headed for…… Alabama! So we drove and drove and drove and drove and drove…..and we were finally there! We stopped to see how our Aunt Queen Esther was doing. So everyone talked for a while and some of our cousins came over to talk, and then…. We left for home!! So yeah, we had a pretty exciting 4th of July! Which you probably expected since we are always going to crazy trips lol!! Well, I hoped you enjoyed this entry!

Hey Raphy!!!!

We are SOOOO sorry that you had to wait so long for this entry, but here it is from the 3mcclaingirls!!!!

SIERRA-Hey yall!! This is just my part because in the beginning we did some different things. But in the beginning, Kristin (who was our tour guide), Doc, my Dad and I (and of course the other riders) went on the super scary TOWER OF TERROR!!! Man it was sooo scary!! First we went into this dark room and it showed us a presentation on the Twilight Zone. And it made it seem like the outside of the room was actually outside lol. So after the presentation we went to another passageway that eventually let to the elevator with seat belts. Then they showed us another presentation that was even more real than the first one .Then they showed us a mirror and told us to say goodbye to the real world and we DROPPED!!! We stopped like every three floors for the cameras to take pictures of us!!! I was soooo scared!! Lol!! And the funny part is that when we got off the ride, the tour guide told me that I was holding on to her hair!!!!! I felt sooo bad lol!!! But in the end my Dad bought some of the pictures that the cameras took of us and our faces were hilarious!! Ok, here are all three of us now!!

3MG- Hey yall!! What’s up?? So just to let you know, everything that we are about to tell you is happening in California Adventure, which is right next to Disneyland. Ok so after that, we ran smack into MR. INCREDIBLE!!! We got pictures and everything!! Then we got a churro and walked around looking another ride. Our tour guide suggested an interactive conversation with a computer generated turtle. In other words, it was a conversation with a turtle called Turtle Talk with Crush! Crush is the super cool surfer turtle from Finding Nemo. So we went in the theater and made an imaginary pizza with Chip and Dale, Goofy, and Mike Sullivan from Monsters, Inc, and other kids in the lobby area before the conversation with Crush. So finally it was time for the show!!! Our V.I.P. tour guide said that crush would want to talk to us a little more after the show! So we went in, took a seat, waited for the other kids to come in. And then it started!!! We were the first kids to come in which was so cool!! So a bunch kids asked him question and he answered them for about 15 minutes. Then all of the kids left except for us and we stayed for about ten minutes. He gave us all nicknames when he answered our questions. Like, china’s was Chillin China, sierra’s was Surfin Sierra, and our mom’s was Shakanana Shontell!! It was really fun! So then we were walking around and saw some guys dressed in red suits singing in harmony! They sounded really cool! Then, right after that, we saw Snow White and Belle! We didn’t get to talk to them because they had a really long line! Then after that, Mrs. Shaw and his Aunt suggested a ride called Soarin Over California! What happens is you get on this ride and then everyone fills up the rows of seats and then you buckle up. So when the ride starts it lifts you up off the ground and you “soar” over all of the famous landmarks in California! It was so life like! So then we got something to eat and Kristin said that we could head over to Disneyland for a parade at around six. So we went over to Disneyland and rode a ride of which we can’t remember the name right now lol!! But it was a roller coaster and it was like riding through the wild, wild, west!! All three of us rode this one and it was a blast!! It was about time for the parade, so we rode just one more ride called Mulhullin Madness!! It was a car game that was super fast!!! We got in, like, bumper cars and rode in them like a roller coaster!! But it was fun lol! So finally we went over to the parade and waited for it to start. And once it did, it was magical!!! There was a float on Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Pinocchio, Alice and Wonderland, Snow White, and there was a float with Minnie and Mickey and all of the Disney princesses!! And it played the song along with the appropriate float!! It was TOOOO cool!!! So then we went home and got some major rest!! Lol! So another night we went back to Disney land to catch a fireworks show, but we stopped by California Adventure to ride Soarin Over California again! My mom loves that ride lol!! So we headed over to the streets of Disneyland for one amazing show!! There were red ones, blue ones, and any other color you can think of!! They shot over and around, up and down, and every direction you can imagine!! It was truly a one of a kind fireworks show!! So once it finished we headed to get some souvenirs and ran into the one and only MINNIE MOUSE!!! She gave us autographs and we got a few pictures with her! Then we went back to the hotel after one night of colorful explosions, flying over California, and a meet and greet with a celebrity lol! So as you can see, we had one COOOL adventure that weekend!!!

Well we hope you enjoyed our entry!! Thanks for Readin!!!

Love,

Hey Raphy,

Wazzup yall?! I had a good weekend. Saturday was a bad day, because one of our pets died. Her name was Perry and she was a guinea pig. It was a sad day. But on Sunday, my mom took me to Six Flags to see Keke in concert! She didn’t see me in the crowd until she started taking questions. I raised my hand to ask a question and she screamed and ran to the edge of the stage to hug me! After that, she gave me and introduction telling people that I was in a movie and I act and all that good stuff. I really didn’t have a question, though lol! So when she was signing autographs I got in line and when I got to her I gave her gift and she got upset that I got in line lol! I gave her a gift, which was two picture frames that said “friends forever” and “love” which is my nickname to her lol. I sat down next to her while she signed the rest of her autographs. After that, we hugged each other and we both left. So then, my mom and I got a slushee and a funnel cake, ate, and went to a party at Cassi Davis’ house. We stayed there for a while and then, finally, went back home!! So it was a great Sunday, I got to go to a party, and I got to see my best friend!!!

OK YALL, THAT’S ABOUT IT!! TTYL!!!
