Thanksgiving Break

This Thanksgiving break was fun for me with the activities I did, The main and most I did was play Basketball, I have always love Basketball and lately I have not had too much time for it due to school and my job. So, last week I went out and played Basketball everyday. My favorite was on Wednesday when I took my little brother and cousin to Venice Beach and played Basketball on the memorial courts. On Thanksgiving I got to spend it with my mother's side in the morning and my father's side in the day. My weekend consisted of full working so that wasn't too fun.
