The Olympics!!!

  Who watches the Olympics? I love it, but I have to watch recordings because we don’t have a TV. I am sure most of you are shocked, but we had a really old TV and my mom threw it out when we moved. We watch movies from our computer. It has better screen than our old TV. The house we live in now has a meadia room so my mom and dad will most likely get a TV.

Olympics events:

Archery

Badminton (What is that?)

Basketball

Beach Volleyball

Boxing

Cycling - Road

Equestrian

Fencing

Football

Gymnastic - Artistic

Handball (?)

Judo (?)

Rowing

Shooting

Swimming

Table Tennis

Tennis

Volleyball

Weightlifting

   Some of them I have no idea what it is. I think I will enjoy Gymnastics the most and I hope America wins!!! Enjoy!!!

Dear Summer,

Dear Summer,

    I have enjoyed you very much, but please slow down; don’t rush to fall. School is great! I am just not ready for school. I want to swim and feel water slip across my hands. And sit on the porch listening to summer sounds. I won’t mind the hot sun (that much). You could add another month, because June, July and August are not enough. Why you could call the month: Excess (meaning extra). I plead my case with several others; all who love you, Summer. I guess it would mess you up to add a month or slow down. But please remember, I love you Summer.

P.S This was supposed to post while I was at camp, but it didn’t do it!

Camp

Hey everybody,


I am heading of for an adventure! Ok, kind-of. I am going to camp, but it could turn out to be a life changing experience (adventure). This month has been packed full. That is just the way I like it. When I get pack form camp I will (hopefully) have lots of pictures and news. "I can't speak for us all, but I myself find July to be a blissful time. It's the perfect medium between summer's peak and it's ending. It's kind of like a ripe berry.” That was from Piper’s blog. I hope everyone will have a great week!

Swimming a mile!

Hey! Today I crossed out one of my buckets on my bucket list. It was swim a mile without stopping!!! I  swam 32 laps (50 meters each). I was so tired, but it was worth it!

What are some things that you want to do?

4th of July

Blue + White + Red = Freedom

Blue + White + Red = Independence 

Blue + White + Red = Liberty 

Blue, white, and red are the colors that represent our country.

Blue stands for vigilance, perseverance, and justice

White stands for purity and innocence

Red stands for hardiness and valour

These colors make up our flag!

Happy 4th of July!!!
