Thursday
has been designated our adventure day so we made it a point to be out the door
at a reasonable time and on our way to make another big purchase: a scooter. We
wanted to have a bike and a scooter along with our skateboards so that we have
multiple ways of traveling if we get tired of one way.
When we got
to Target to purchase the scooter we were excited to see that they were having a
buy one get one half off all toys meaning that we could get the scooter we
wanted and save half off of a helmet that we needed! We were off to the library
to get quick directions before we headed to the IKEA that we had intended to go
to the first time around. This time we had a bike and a scooter to get us there
though! The trip went by fairly fast, it was probably 3 mile ride, but with the
narrow sidewalks and people that I swear are purposely blocking the way we had
to slow our pace down quite a few times. We stepped into the biggest IKEA I
have been in so far and headed straight to the restaurant. Guess what Breindel
family I, Lauren Breindel, tried something new. Shocker I know, or maybe I was
just getting tired of hearing you guys rag on me. But yes, I tried the cheese
baked saithe and it was delicious!
Riley went
with the chicken parmigana which was equally as delicious. We didn’t really
explore this IKEA as much since we were on a mission to get more bins for
organization of our clothes. We also knew that we had to get back in time for
our free trial short class of hip-hop dancing and music choreography. I was
supposed to be at the uni sports centre at 5:10 for my hip-hop class but we
didn’t get back until 5:00 and I still had to change. Running behind as usual I
took advantage of the newly bought scooter and zoomed down Broadway St. getting
to the centre only 10 minutes late only to find out the class was in another
building. By the time I finally found the class I was probably 15 minutes late,
but I wasn’t the only one. I took a place in the back on the dance studio and
tried to follow along with what the instructor was demonstrating. However, it
was a little hard to see with all the other people in the way so I and the girl
next to me, Katie (who I had met in my Outdoor Education class) kinda just
pretended we knew what we were doing. The instructor was of course Australian
but I did not expect that accent to come out of her mouth since she was dressed
to fit in at Brooklyn which the baggy sweatpants, long oversized shirt and Air
Jordans. I learned that it really is a talent to move like the hip-hop dancers
do, a talent that I do not have! I waited after class to meet up with Riley so
that he could join me for the music choreography class. This class was actually
led by the same instructor and was a build off the other class since it was basically
all the same moves I had just learned but put to a song. I think we learned a
total of twenty moves, but putting those moves together to a fast paced song was
quite the challenge and we barely succeeded. We had a great time trying though,
although Riley wasn’t too keen on being the only guy in the class. Halfway
through the class we realized that a soccer team in jerseys had gathered on the
soccer field. We kept checking to see if another team was going to join them
and sure enough they did. So our adventure day continued with an impromptu
soccer game! Well us watching one anyways.
We left at
halftime only because we hadn’t eaten dinner yet and it was already past 7:00!
He rushed to Coles to get pasta sauce since that was the only thing needed for
chicken parmesan sandwiches which we had envisioned. Probably one of the best
meals that we have eaten so far!
