#day58 (Rader Family Farm)

Hi everyone,

On Monday October 8th, there was no school, so in the afternoon I went to Rader Family Farm with my swimming team. It's basically a farm where there are animals, but also games and food. First, we took some pictures and we fed the animals. Then, we ate and I tried my first corn dog and my first apple cider. They were both really good! After that, we went to the games zone, and we jumped on a huge pillow, we went on a swing, and we played a sort of volleyball where you cannot see the other team.😂 It was so fun!!

After that, I made an Italian food that it's called 'tigelle' and I baked them. They were so good and everyone really enjoyed them!😍

#day57 (Andy Grammer's concert)

Hi everyone,

on Sunday October 7th I went to Andy Grammer's concert with my host parents.

We went there around 5:30 pm because we had a VIP ticket. With this ticket we had the possibility to meet him before the concert starts, ask him some questions and take a group picture with him. It was so cool!!

My host mum asked him if he was able to sing in Italian or in some other languages and then she introduced me. For this reason, he traslated the first part of one of his song in Italian and he tried to sing. It was so funny!! In the beginning, he did pretty good, but at the end I had no idea what he said😂. After that, the person that recorded everything interviewed us. That was amazing!!

Around 7 pm, the concert started. First, there were two singers: Josie Dunne, and John Splithoff, then there was Andy Grammer. The concert was awesome!!😍

Futhermore, some days after the concert, he posted on his Instagram the question that my host mum asked him, so basically we are on his instagram!!😂😍

#day56 (mall + noodles)

Hi everyone,

on Saturday morning, I went to my host sister's soccer game. She played really good and when she was the goalie she did really good dives.

When the game was over, it started raining. Perfect timing!

After the game, we went to Steak 'n Shake to eat a yummy cheeseburger and fries.

At 3 pm, I went to the mall with Luna, the exchange student from Taiwan, for some shopping. First, we went to  'Halloween City' which is a shop next to the mall that sells only things for October 31st. It had any types of costume (for children and adults), hats, accessories, candies, lights and decorations for houses, bloody arms, eyes, and a bunch of other stuff. That shop was huge! We had fun and we tried a lot of things!

Then, we went inside the mall and I bought two pair of jeans, two sweatshirts (I wanna be ready for the freezing winter), and some other things.

At about 5/5:30 pm, my host dad picked me up and he drove me home.

At 6:30 pm, Katie, a girl in my swimming team picked me up and we went to 'noodles & company'. There, we met Maddy who is Katie's sister and she is also in my swimming team. I love them so much!💕 After we ordered, we ate noodles, meatballs and garlic bread with cheese. I got 'pasta rosa with Parmesan chicken' and it was good, even though it was a bit spicy and it was an American version of noodles😂

After that, I went home and, even though I was full, I ate a chocolate raspberry dessert with my host family and some of their friends. It was really good!
