The waves were really strong but nothing was going to stop me from holding onto her chair. At some point the wave hit me real hard and flipped me over along with Rosa. The wave didn't frighten Rosa, she was too busy laughing at the fact that I got knocked over by the wave along with her. She had to tell our mom about what just happened to us that day, "Ma! Maggie was holding onto my chair and before you knew it a wave knocked us over!" she couldn't help but to giggle while she told our mom about it. Another time she decided we would play a game of tag outside with our cousins. Rosa then had come up with the idea of going to Walmart without letting our dad find out. Our cousins and I then climbed onto her electric wheel chair and took off to Walmart. Ruby, one of our cousins on the wheel chair, had just gotten a new pair of sandals. Since there wasn't much room on the wheel chair Ruby was standing in the back. The wheels had made the front of her sandals much shorter than it originally was. Rosa had noticed what had happened and burst into laughter, she was laughing to the point where she was crying out of laughter. One thing lead to another and we ended up at the Walmart nearby our house eating some McDonald's. When we came back to the house our dad didn't notice us leaving to Walmart. During the weekend we would always have a get together with some of our family friends. The last get together held in our house was a very memorable day. Deborah; a family friend of ours, along with her kids came over to visit. We were joking around and bringing up hilarious memories from when we were younger or before I was even born. All I can remember from that day was how Rosa couldn't stop laughing, she even started to turn red while at the same time, choking I think on her own spit.
A few days had passed since the get together, it was your average day. Mom was in the kitchen making some lunch while we were all doing our own thing.
