My Vacation So Far!

My Vacation! . .  So Far

1st: My apologies,

I forgot to update this because I am in Colorado! And because the computer is slightly frozen. I might not have many pictures either because they are all on my mom's camera.

2nd: My first day,

Well,  technically it was our second day because we arrived the day before... whatever! It was our first real day, ok? Right! Let's get onto what actually happened.

The first few days, my friends were here! The first thing we did was have a snowball fight! My friend Grayson, who I absolutely LOVE to play with him because he has a really creative mind, brought out a snow shovel and was chucking snow across the yard.

Eventually, my brother started whacking people with sticks/corn stalks. I had corn in my stinging eye and was glad that the war ended soon after that. Instead of chucking snow, I had an idea to make snow cones out of it. We used gatorade as the syrup. They were delicious! 

I decided to go to the store with my mom, my friend Emily, and Grayson. Who knew going to the store could be so exciting? When we got into the parking lot, Grayson immediately asked if I would like a F'real Milkshake. I of course said yes. What kid would say no to a milkshake? Any who, we both got peanut butter milkshakes, and I saw something shorter than a person. I quickly turned around and saw a big, black, dog! No, not one dog, two dogs! Both exactly the same color, size, and breed. A women who worked there said in a confused voice, "Umm... dog in the kitchen." They brought the dogs outside. That was when I noticed a third dog! It was a small dog. I think it was a Yorkshire Terrier. This little dog was running away from the people who had got the other two dogs. It was a crazy day but we eventually went home. That is about it for right now. I think I am about to go do something. Bye until later!

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving just went by and I think that I should show you something my family did.

We made pumpkins! First we had to buy some lids. You need twenty-four lids to make one pumpkin. Of course, it has to be orange. We spray painted our lids. My mom would paint them as my sisters and I brought the lids to her. We were so excited, we started to push each other out of the way. Each of us trying to get our lids to Mom before the other can. This didn't end well so we apologized and slowly gave Mom the lids from then on.

After they were all painted, we had to wait for them to dry. Waiting is really hard. Especially when you are a kid. I recommend watching a show or movie while you wait. Preferably a Thanksgiving themed show.

Finally, the paint dried and we hurried the lids inside. We grabbed our 24 lids and started to put them all together. One over the other so that it formed a circle. Then we took some orange yarn and cut it. We took the piece we just cut and put it through one of the holes so it is inside the pumpkin. We put our fingers in there and grabbed one end. We pulled it so it went all the way around the inside of the pumpkin, then we tied the two ends together. After all of that, we needed to add a stem to our pumpkin. We put a few cinnamon sticks in the center of the pumpkin. 

It was so much fun! I hope that you try it out.

Take A Look At These Cute Bunnies!

Hey! Do you ever want a pet? If you do, have you ever considered a cute and lovable bunny? You will after I am done with this post!

Introducing!

Snap, Crackle, and Pop!

Three adorable baby bunnies that will catch your attention quickly.

The middle white one is Snap, the light brown one to your left is crackle, and last but not least, the one to your right is Pop! They are all Holland Lop bunnies. You can find more pictures of them at http://the-holland-lop-haven.weebly.com. You will meet the bunnies owners. The Bennett family! They are super nice and take good care of their bunnies.

About Their Owners
All of their bunnies are fed well and are kept clean. The Bennetts told me themselves! I am looking forward to seeing them in person!









Why Have A Holland Lop?

Holland Lops are known as being the calmest dwarf breed. They are very laid back, and often love nothing more than to be held in your arms. When well cared for and loved, a Holland Lop can be a fun and easy-to-care-for pet.  This was taken straight out of their website. Look at their website to learn more.

Interesting Fact About Baby Bunnies:
Bunnies are born with their eyes sealed closed! They also can't hear when they are born! Imagine! Having HUGE ears and still can't hear! That is terrible! What about Snap, Crackle, and Pop?
Their eyes open today!

Hope that you take a look at their website:)

See You!

New Post!

I am so sorry that I have not written in a while!

I have been on vacation in Virginia with my family! I saw my cousin again and we have done some more things! We had ice cream at Carls, swam in the pool, and had a sleepover where we swam again! I also had a terrific dinner there!

Enough about me!

I will try to give you some stuff  to do! I don't (at the moment) have any pictures of the stuff we did.

I don't know how to say any of this.

I should probably start like this.

1: We swam and came up with games like Marco Polo.

2: We watched movies. I would recommend snacks like popcorn or Roll Ups. 

3: We went shopping.

4: We took pictures and we made videos.

5: We had a sleepover.

I have to come up with something else but in the meantime, tootles!

We are in the desert!

We are in the desert!

My family and I love to go to the sand dunes in OBX. We bring boogie boards and kites to the top of  the big sand dunes. We try to slide down the side of the sand dune but it doesn't really work. Next time I am trying cardboard. We don't usually take kites with us but when we do it is a lot of fun!

Sometimes we slide down. Sometimes we run!

Or roll, or somersault, whatever you prefer! 

We usually race down the dunes! It's really fun when you do that with a lot of people.

It would work to do these things on a grassy hill too.

 Tip: Sand dunes are more fun to roll down!

It is always fun at our summer home.

 So, Yeah, It's Always Fun At Our Summer Home.

It's always fun at our summer home.
We play all kinds of sports there.
I am going to name a few.

We play: Tetherball, basketball,  and surfing. (Yes, surfing is a sport.)  We also swim.
 (  Swimming is also a sport.)  My cousin and I come up with silly things like, sitting on the top of some monkey bars. We also came up with a handshake that we did before we jumped into the heated pool and tried to throw sponge bombs at each other.

 

You can do all of that and more. I will be posting more on my site so keep a lookout for some awesome things to do!

Leave a comment and give me some tips in it. I want to know if I am doing well on this little blog of mine!

CRAZY FUN!

So, my cousin and I do crazy stuff.

Basically my cousin is crazy and I am nuts.

So, we go together quite well.

Together we come up with super nutty stuff in the summer.

     We do fun stuff like climbing firetrucks.

Or taking crazy pictures, making movies, sometimes we do a play.

Our latest concert was us singing our favorite songs.

1. We made up cool moves for the song, Let It Go, and we split the parts up.

2. We sang the song Happy.

3. I played the song, Cups, by banging a cup in rhythm, while my cousin and I both sang the song.

Think of anything you enjoy doing.

Turn it into something cool or crazy.

If you like art, try to painting a famous painting in your own style.

If you like to sing, work out a concert of your favorite songs.

My cousin and I also make movies.

So, about the movie thing, we basically, take a bunch of separate videos  then put them all together.

We write out what it's going to be about then think of separate scenes.

Sometimes we sing a few songs.

You could do that with your friends.

More Things To Do!

Slack lining is difficult!

So, slack lining is SUPER difficult.

It takes a lot of balance and effort to get to the end.

But, it is super fun as well!

You might want to try it.

This could be a part of one of your relay races!

The team to get across first can move onto the next adjective.

Back to the point.

I am basically going to give you tons of things to do at home!

1:  Take some silly photos of yourself or anyone you know.

Take a look of some of ours.

These are my awesome photos!
You should take some with your family.
Capture any funny moment you can!
Here are some ideas to where you should take them.
1:  take some photos at the beach.

2:  Take some pictures inside your backyard.

3: take some photos at a park.

4: Take some photos at your public pool.

Maybe you  have some cool places at your school or inside your home.

Think of any place you like.

Things to Do at the Beach

My Family And I Love The Beach...

I love surfing. It's one of my favorite activities. I love to play volleyball, to swim, and to make sandcastles. So, pretty much, I love the beach. Doesn't everyone love the beach?

This is me surfing!

Fun Things To Do At The Beach:

Well, there are tons and tons of things to do at the beach!

I am only going to give you a few ideas, but you will get my point.

Drip castles:

So the first thing is drip castles.
Now, I know that that kind of sounds weird but don't worry, it's really fun!
First, find really wet sand, preferably at the edge of the ocean.
Second, get one handful of it. Let the sandy water drip from your fingers until there is none left. The little pile of sand you just made is the beginning of your castle. Do it again and again until you have a castle.

Play A Sport!

Play some soccer with your sister.

Play football with your Bro.

Play volleyball with your mom.  

Maybe you should play frisbee with your dad!

Another Thing We Did...

Relay Race With Cousins

We did a relay race with my cousins, brother, sisters, and me. The part I did worst at was eating a bowl of ice cream the fastest. Mom knows I get big freeze-brains! My cousin got to start first because she was first in the last object of the race we did. For the last part of the whole race, we split up into teams to see who could put together their puzzle the quickest.

You could make a relay race for you and your family, or for your friends. Think of wacky and fun things to do. It could be, who can spin in circles twenty times, the fastest?

Or maybe, how many marshmallow peeps can you stuff in your mouth? Who knows? The possibilities are endless!

Our race began by:
1. Running three flights of stairs - 1st person went up and back down, tagged the 2nd person who ran up and grabbed the 1st objective
2. We counted each pole around the pool. First team to get it right took the lead and moved to the 3rd objective.
3. We wolfed down a bowl of ice cream - this is where my team lost and ended up getting far behind. Once the bowl of ice cream was gone we got our 4th objective.
4. The two slowest teams teamed up to do a puzzle. The 2 fastest teams teamed up to do the puzzle.
First teams to finish the puzzle won the whole relay.

It was a blast, but as all competition ends, we did end up losing and there were some tears, but a year later we are excited to go back and become the champions this year!

Just a quick tip, make sure you can clean it up. No confetti or liquids ok?
You don't want to make your parents mad, do you?

Summer Sponge Bombs

Mom is helping me set up my first blog. We are testing on how this will work. My hope is to blog about all the ideas I come up with on what to do over the summer! I find myself sitting with nothing to do, but my imagination runs wild and steers me into having lots of fun! Let's play together!

Summer Sponge Bombs

Last summer, my favorite activity was making sponge bombs! We took them to OBX with us, when we went on vacation with our extended family. Mom got them out and we played with them in the ocean. The kids and Daddy started to throw them at each other. Some other kids came to join us. Even Uncle Jimmy jumped in on the fun. We played for a long time and everyone got very tired. 

Here is how you make them:

Stack three sponges on top of each other. Cut them into thirds, making 9 strips. 

Take a hair tie and wrap it like you would a ponytail. 

Fan out the sponge strips. Dip them in water and start throwing.
