My Adventure To Surprise Part 6

Hey, everyone! I went to Surprise, AZ for the end of May/beginning of June with my grandparents (also known as The Romano Duo). I would just like to share my adventure with you. By the way, some of the times aren’t accurate. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy!

May 31st, 2018:

I woke up around 9:00 am and just hung around the house all day.

Anyway, it was a little bit of a relaxing day for me. Around 9:30 pm, I coded and got ready for bed (regardless, I was very tired). I hit the pillows late that night again (What I mean by that is I fell asleep).

June 1st, 2018: 

I woke up around 7:00 am. Anyway, I took my time waiting for Patty to be done in their bedroom. Before breakfast, Frank said, “Happy National Donut Day” as I told him the day before. After breakfast, I wrote a lot. After lunch, I had a bit of fun swimming.

I also wanted to add that I finished a blog post which is: https://lilliandarnell.com/2018/06/01/how-donuts-came-to-be/ sometime that day.

After swimming, I got dressed and had Frank get the powdered donut out of the donut package (we got them sometime that week). After dinner, I talked to Patty and Frank some.

Anyway, I started getting ready for bed after a conversation with Patty and Frank. Afterward, I got in the bed around 10:00 pm even though I stayed up way later than that. Shortly around 12:30 pm, I fell asleep.

Hey, everyone! I went to Surprise, AZ for the end of May/beginning of June with my grandparents (also known as The Romano Duo). I would just like to share my adventure with you. By the way, some of the times aren’t accurate. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy!

May 30th, 2018: 

I woke up early as planned. After I ate breakfast, I tried on the swimsuit and other clothing. Then, we got ready to go to Wal-Mart to look at clothing. We also winded up finding a huge blue ball that we took with us. We were back at 1:00 pm so it gave me enough time to eat lunch and rest a little afterward.

When Katie arrived, I had Frank open the door and let her in. After Katie’s mother left, I quickly grabbed my swimsuit from the bedroom and quickly went into the restroom to change.

After I came out, I went back to the bedroom and got my sunglasses. I took a glance at what Katie gave me before I took the shea butter and slathered it on the back of the legs.

Once I got on the first step of the pool, Patty helped me down one more time. Frank helped me down to the last step before the pool floor.

When I was ready, Katie offered her hand to help me down to the last step and it was unexpectedly a little deep but Frank asked if I wanted a pool noodle and I said Yes.

We insisted that Frank get in the water too so he did.  Anyway, I went swimming with a pool noodle up under me. After 2 hours we got out and air dried. We got dressed in different rooms.

After Katie and I changed back into clothing, we went to the room I was staying in while I was visiting and played 1 round of UNO™ with the UNO deck of cards that she brought.

Afterward, Katie and I watched Youtube videos together. Although, at one point she played a bowling game. Anyway at 5:00 pm, Katie left but not before having Patty taking a picture of us.

After Katie left, I waited for dinner to be ready by playing games on my phones. After dinner, I just messaged Camilla Downs about the fun time I had with Katie.

Around 9:34 pm, I took a picture of what Katie gave me. After that, I went to go do my schedule and got into bed around 10:00 pm but didn’t go to sleep until early in the morning the next day.

Lillian’s Top 9 Ways To Stay Healthy

Hey, everyone! I decided to do an informative blog post on staying healthy.  Here’s a blog post that relates: https://lilliandarnell.com/2017/01/10/beauty-in-you/. I hope you enjoy!

Food

  1. Eat fruit at least 3 times a day. Dried apricot, pear, and apple are all ideal fruit. If you don’t like fruit you should at least drink a little fruit juice. It always helps if you have a variety of fruit to eat. I eat strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple when available. I also eat a lot of apples (which is anti-inflammatory) and pear (which is semi anti-inflammatory).
  2. Eat vegetables at least 3 times a day as well. Broccoli, carrot, and cucumber are good choices for vegetables. If you don’t like vegetables, try to drink vegetable juice. I eat carrot, broccoli, cucumber (if available), and beets (if available).

Exercise

  1. Yoga is a great way to stretch your body. Yoga can help you with almost any kind of pain. Do yoga at least 3 days a week. I try to do yoga twice a week.
  2. Swimming is an awesome and fun summer exercise to do. Swimming is a great way to cool off and get plenty exercise. Do swimming at least every other day except on weekends (really it’s up to you) while the pool is open. I try to go almost every day in the summer excluding weekends.
  3. Dancing is a good every day exercise you can do. Dancing can help your muscles get stronger. Do dancing at least once a week. I dance at least once a month.
  4. Walking is a great everyday exercise you can do. Walking is a great way to take in nature. Do walking 3 times a week or more (really it should be up to you). I try to go for walks once a week or more.
  5. Running is a fantastic every day exercise you can do. Running can help your leg muscles get a lot stronger. Do running at least 3 times a week or more (it’s up to you really). I try to run at least once a week.

Drinks

  1. Juice can be a great alternative to water sometimes. Drink at least one cup of not from concrete juice a day. For me, I prefer to have one cup of juice (with water) a day when available. It is also a great help for slushies (in the summer or anytime you eat them).
  2. Drink at least 2 cups of room temperature spring water a day. Water can be used to make a flavorless slushie as well. For me though, I prefer to have 2 cups of water every day.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post!
