A night at the Crab Shack ( Back to Elena)

Now that you heard about our afternoon, You can hear about the evening we had ( and trust me, it was adventurous) My mom decided that we should go out for dinner since Sera was not there to cook ( Just a little hint on why she has not updated the blog, She has been very busy!!! She went back up to Maryland with my mother for our cousins graduation and then she returned only to spend this weekend at the beach with some friends so she should be posting either today or tomorrow.) Anyway, my mom wanted to try Joes Crab Shack since we have never eaten there before. We immediately got a table without waiting so it gave a good first impression. Then our waiter showed up and quickly made me think that this would not be a very regular dining experience. He was very friendly but almost to friendly to me. He told us the story of Joe and how he came to own a restaurant. He took our orders but started to walk away when Kayla was talking to him. He made our dining trip all the more fun. While we waited, Mom went to check out the little gift shop and Kayla and Ian took the girls onto the playground. I just sat in my chair while my dad texted Sera. Our food came quickly and it was all really good. The girls had popcorn shrinp and mandarin oranges; both were eaten and enjoyed. A ballon man stopped by the table and made ballon objects for the younger four. A pink ( figures) flower for Emma, A yellow horse for Esther and two parrots, one for Kayla and one for Ian. The food was good the entertainment was superb and the dancing waiters were awsome ( wait a minute. Did she say dancing waiters? Yup the macarena was danced while we were waiting for our desert) I guess I should end the post because I am typing with a puppy on my lap so until next time.

Tubing ( Kayla is posting this)

Last Sunday, Dad took us tubing. Well its kind of hard to describe this particular trip out on the lake.I guess you could call it colorful. Well anyway because of no rain for the past three weeks it was kind of hard to get the boat out so Esther, Ian, and I all had to pile on the tube. While Dad, Emma, and Elena stayed on the boat. It fun until water started splashing in our faces and Esther started crying. So I signalled Dad to stop we switched Esther with Emma and we were on our way after about ten minutes Dad decided he was bored so he went faster just as we flew over a huge bump needless to say tat got Emma crying. So we completely switched this time with Elena and Esther on the Tube this time. This arrangement kept up until Dad said that we had to go in. So we switched and my Dad took the boat through its paces. First of all, Dad gunned the engine and Ian and I went flying off. Then he took the tube in continues circles and I went flying of the Tube. All to soon, we had to go in and after attempting to submerge the Tube underwater. Then being untied and thrown away from Tube, we were more than ready to go in.

Sing it, Sparks!!!

Jordan Sparks was won!!!! The spunky 17 year old girl who captured people with her singing has suceeded!!! Melinda Doolitle deserved it more than anyone but Simon said " If Melinda doesn't win, Jordin will!!!" Of course, Simon is almost never wrong and he is able to predict the outcome of the singers. I am not really into American Idol but I must say, if anyone had to win, it would be her. Even Melinda admitted that. Congratulations to Miss Jordin Sparks!!!!!!

The puppy


We just got a new puppy!!!!! Ok we have had her since the 12th but Sera has not posted anything about her so I figured that I could beat her to the punch. Her name is Elly Mae and she is too cute! Today I took her for a walk while I rode my bike. She really hated the leash though. Whenever I would tug on it, she would pull away. I finally decided to take her off the leash to see if she would follow and she did!! She ran five straight miles without stopping. She is a very good girl!!

The younger sisters of Sera

Welcome to a new view of the Manubens family. My name is Elena and I am Kayla and we our the younger sisters of the famous blogger, Sera Manubens. We saw how Sera kept a blog up and we thought we should give it a try. We want to give people another take on the Manubens Family. Of course, you might all ready know a lot about our family from what Sera posts, but we thought you might want to know about the smaller details that Sera doesn't post. First of all, we will tell you a little about ourselves. We both are completly different but we do get along most of the time. Elena is sweet but she is only a mena when she is stressed out ( about everyday ) or tired. She is a wonderful sister and a good caretaker. Kayla is the type of girl who know all the names of the pets in our neighborhood but can not tell you the names of their owners. She is arguermentative but passionate about animals ( she is not the best speller though ) We both love having little sisters, even when they decide to empty all the shampoo and bodywash into Kayla's shower and turn it into a bubble party during naptime. They are still adorable and know exaclty how to get what they want. We hope you enjoy our blog and feel free to leave comments. Thanks,
Elena and Kayla Manubens
