Brooklyn selfies

Oh the weekend was such fun! 

I went to Brooklyn with my long lost sister (people actually think we are sisters) and we also take the best selfies together check it..

   

Boom.. There it is!

All though on this day we were actually having a bad selfie day. We had to redo many photos, but normally we take one and it is absolutely perfect, no need to redo it! Do you know what I mean? Like you have that one friend, and you take selfies with her, and the first take is actually perfect like it could be your Facebook profile pic, that is how perfect it is. 

We chilled at the Brooklyn bridge park, it is so beautiful! We just sat at the pier looking at manhattan and all the boats going past and playing games like, first one to spot things like, the 9/11 building, people wearing nikes, mustaches, dogs etc sounds lame but it was actually fun and quite hilarious! We then walked abit to get a good pano of Manhattan. I failed at that one. I just have no patience to go slow and try and keep the arrow on the line, it's redonkulous I tell you! I would show you my pano but it's just embarrassing. I mean to be honest it's only half a pano, probably not even half! 

Anywho we were getting abit hungry even though we pretty much just had brunch a few hours before. So we went to Shake Shack and just WOW! I'm surprised I hadn't tasted it since I've been here. The burger I had their changed my life (that's exaggerating). But it was so good, well better than good it was like riding a horse on a Saturday morning at the beach good (what the?!). 

This guy ruined my photo. 

You all need to try Shake Shack it is the bomb! 

We then walked over the Brooklyn bridge which is probably one of my favorite things to do, because you get cool photos and get to yell at people when they are walking on the bike lane and they are about to get hit. My friend and I started yelling 'move that person' or if there was a stroller 'move that stroller' and 'this is not a stroller lane people' (ohh it was cray cray)! 

Brooklyn bridge, you say 'where did the colour go?' I say 'I put a filter on it cause I'm upper'. 

Upper=awesome, way to cool. 

And that's the end of our Brooklyn experience. Definately going to hangout in Brooklyn more because it's so hipster and a great place to chill, love it! 

Peace out homies ✌️

American life! 🇺🇸

Elo Elo children! What fun things have I been doing this week? Well I've been Very American this week! Saturday my friends and I went and hungout at my college and watched a basketball game.

Everyone watching was so quiet. No one was cheering or anything, it was very strange. I wanted to be loud and yell out things like 'defense' 'pull your pants up' '3 pointer' and 'take ya top off' (oh to far, to far!) 

We then proceeded (wow, big word) to the glow in the dark mini golf! Yes it was pretty awesome, although lighting was limited and I may have got abit angry that the ball was going over the hole and not in the hole (struggle is real), I went all happy Gilmore on that! 

This is Nikki playing, I had to take a photo of her because she was so lit up she blended well into the theme. I was gutted because I was wearing all black and nothing glowed (remember to wear glow in the dark clothes always). 

Then we went and chilled at a restaurant called Applebee's for like 3 hours, had lunch and had so many free refills of diet coke..

This is only some of the empty glasses but I think we had 4 drinks of diet coke, and let me tell you it might be diet but wow, I was a little cray cray after! 

Finally it was time to go to the football game, boom! It was such a great experience! Seriously, they have music  going to amp everyone up, people are singing and dancing in the bleachers, the football players are dancing it was AWESOME!! 

In this photo everyone is singing the national anthem (was a beautiful thing), even I'm singing it, well trying to! 

Football is so much better in real life it's very interesting to watch! 

Sunday I went to Church and Chad Veach spoke. He is one of my favourite speakers (so funny)! I also volunteered, and those of you that know the tv series The Carrie Diaries? well the actress that plays Carrie was at church, and I talked to her, I said 'sorry thanks' (best conversation everrrrrrrrr)! 

So Halloween is coming up and it is a massive thing in America! Like all the houses are decorated, people just drop candy at your house (this happened to us), they have a big parade in the city and more. I actually am excited to dress up as I love dressing up! So if any of you have any ideas as to what I should dress up as comment below. 

Anywho until next time cats!

All things Disney!

Bula everybody! This week went crazy fast (rode a camel, that's why)!

As you all know I travelled to Florida and met up with the Nimmo family so that I could take selfies with the one and only Morgen Nimmo (not the only reason, but it's the main reason). 

The first day was a hoot! We went to Magic Kingdom in Disney World and got through most of the rides. My favourite were the Teacups (always have loved them), they just crack me up! Second favourite was Space Mountain. I may have worked the kids up and exaggerated how scary it is, because the whole time we were waiting in line we all were like 'omg need to pee, so nervous!'. Yeah.. afterwards they were like 'krystal what were you talking about?! You worked us up for nothing' (haha I exaggerate way to much woops!).  The lines were quite big for most of the rides so we had to do a lot of waiting (ALOT), but it was totally worth it! 

The fireworks were amazing!! 

Everyday was a SCORCHER (hot,hot,hot)! It got up to 30 degrees which is insane to be walking around theme parks everyday. But we dominated it, even though we were all so sweaty and literally felt like we were melting! 

It also would randomly start raining and thunder and lightening. So we got quite wet the first day, but then got smart and bought a garbage bag each to put over us (we looked hilerious)! Although they were a lifesaver for the week. 

Our garbage bags (absolutely horrific). 

The second day, we went to Universal Studios where I rode my FIRST proper roller coaster people (everyone applauses)!! You all should be so proud of me because it was HORRiBLE!! In the line I was so nervous I nearly wet myself and kept on saying 'I can't do it, I'm going back!' But according to the Nimmo's, once your in the line there is no turning back! 

I hopped into the seat and off we went up, then all of a sudden it just goes so fast into the sky (I'm screaming). It drops, it turns, it goes upside down like a million times (well 3 times). I do admit I may have had my eyes closed most of the time praying for Jesus to take the wheel (Morgen recommended that's what I should do), and also breathing like I was giving birth (this is not an exaggeration). Morgen was just laughing the whole time, I think I laughed once and then there was a massive drop so I started screaming again! But I do have to say I conquered one of my biggest fears, and I went on all the roller coasters for the rest of the week (go me)! It is such a great achievement when you conquer your fear (you should conquer yours this week?!). 

This isn't all of it, I just couldn't get the rest in the photo (amateur photographer).

I went to Harry Potter. 

Dr Seus land such fun!

I could be Cat in the Hat (the cat with a very big rat. Great rhyme!) 

Wednesday we had a break from theme parks and went SHOPPING (every girl in the hood say yeahhh)! 

I went in with a mental list of what I wanted to buy and by the end of the day had bought nothing on that list (always seems to be the case, WHYYY?!). 

Thursday was probably one of the most hottest days! We went to Legoland ('everything is awesome,everything is cool when your part of a team!'), rode all the rides, took many selfies with Lego people and got very hot and exhausted. There was hardly any shade or air conditioned buildings. 

Random Lego donkey.

In me mums car brum brum (only a few will get this). 

Now Morgen and I had a private roller coaster ride (Yes people we were the only ones on the ride). We were right at the front and we both sat on the same side, which made it feel like it was going to tip because it wasn't balanced (don't worry we lived). 

Friday we went to Disney Hollywood Studios which was great. The song for the day was 'Let it go' and 'do you want to build a snowman' (stuck in my head all day). There were a lot of shows and the buildings were amazing, all made out like we were on set of a movie. I also got my photo taken with Mickey, we also danced together and he just wouldn't let me go (he wanted me! Creepy or not?) 

That night we headed to Downtown Disney to have dinner at Planet Hollywood (had great music). 

Jakob and I at planet Hollywood. He finally called me krystal after calling me aunty for some of the week (so funny).
 

It was a fun filled week! We laughed so hard the whole week, and said some pretty random stuff (Morgen and I went cray cray)! I enjoyed hanging with the Nimmo's it was such FUN! Loved being with some of the New Zealand family, made me miss home and all the people back there. 

This is probably my favourite photo as we are meant to be doing Titanic, but hmm yeah it just looks like one of those awkward photos. Made us laugh so much as we looked back on it that night and wondered what the heck we were doing! 

I am now back in my home in New York excited for what this week brings!
