(singing) 'Cause He's Leaving, On a Jet Plane....

(This is Daniel at the stream behind the Natural History Museum)
(This is me looking very miserly with my money from the board game "Cashflow.")

So, my favorite (and only) brother Daniel just came up to SB yesterday to hang out with Michael and I for the last time for two years! (Sniff). He is going to Brazil to serve a mission for our church.
We had an awesome time just hanging around SB and doing things that I don't normally do. We really wanted to check out the jail cells at the courthouse. (For those of you who don't know, there is actually an old jail there) but we found out that it's not open to the public. So then we decided to go find Franchesci Park which is such a cool park up on the Riviera with amazing views of Santa Barbara. Then we went to the natural history museum and walked over to the the stream that's behind it and walked around a little bit. So after, all the strenous exercise (hehe) we decided it was time for an ice cream break and went to McConnells for some delicious frozen yogurt!
We were kind of tired when we made it home so I decided to pull out "Cashflow" the board game. It was fun and I won! Yay! :) (fyi - "Cashflow" is a board game created by Robert Kiyosaki the author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad.")
So, after that we rented this hilarious movie called "King of Kong" which is a documentary on the world record holders of the video game Donkey Kong. And then I went to sleep! Whew! What a day!
I'll be going with my parents and sister Bethany to drop off Daniel at the airport this Wednesday. This is going to sound really sappy and pathetic, but I've already cried so many times just thinking about him leaving that I'm actually happy that I've gotten a lot of this out of my system. I've literally turned into my Mom (and if you know my Mom she cries at everything). Actually, I think I now officially cry more than she does which is really embarrassing! Heaven help me! :)
Love you Daniel
