Grand Forks, North Dekota of th US of A

So me and my dad went to the US on sunday. It was super duper fun.
I made dad pancakes for breakfast, then we each took a shower and it was off to the border.
The getting to the border was easy it was the waiting in line to go through US Customs.
The guy there was kind of a dink but whatever, his loss. We then continued on to Grand Forks.
Dad saw a Cabela's sign (a hunting outlet) and we ended up there first. We were in there for 3 hours! He bought a whole bunch of stuff. He found Hunter some new water toys at least. I found some funny chocolate bars. ie: Grizzly Bar, Majestic Buck, Dark Moose. It was pretty cool. Then I had to coax dad from Cabela's so that we could go to the mall where I wanted to shop. We had Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza for lunch it was very good. Finally we went to the mall so I could do a little shopping.
Once there I found a book store. I got two books. The Fallen series. I just finished the first one last night. Then dad got me some iron supplements and protein stuff because I'm a vegetarian and I need that kind of thing. I found a really sexy pair of high heels but dad was standing behind me and I didn't notice that he was directing the sales lady on what to say. He told me after and I was a tad pissed off. But I'm most likely going down when mom comes :) so hopefully i get them then! I even got Myles a tee shirt that says North Dakota!
Coming back across the border is where all the savings we made were no good. Appearently Canadian government is so greedy that we need to pay Canadian taxes on stuff we buy in the U.S. which i think is really stupid. Then they charge you a "Duty Fee" for going across the boarder. It's soooooo stupid!
I'm on my last book and I got to talk to Myles last night. He called me which was nice of him :) Hoping he'll call today as well. He says that he is thinking about sending me more books. What a sweet heart :) Hopefully I can also convince mom to bring Hunter with her when she comes to visit.
