Home Sweet Home

I just got back from camping at Nugget Lake.  Do you ever think about why Nugget Lake is called "Nugget Lake"?  Well, Eric told me.  Here's the story.  Long ago a meteor hit the earth right here at Nugget Lake.  The powerful force caused a wall of solid rocks to slide off of the flat form into a giant hunk of  sharp rock hanging on for dear life (it's call the Under Looks).   The secret, or why it's called Nugget Lake is because when the meteor shriveled up into dust, it left lots and lots of gold nuggets.  Still today folks find gold here.  So that's the story.  At the campground they had an amphitheater. An amphitheater is a regular piece of white cardboard standing up on two pieces wood.  Then you take a projector and you put the movie on the screen.  We watched the movies called "A Dog's Life".  "Grizzly Bears".  And "Some Feet Have Noses".  And do you know what's really weird?  One of my best friends was going camping at the same place!  And do you know how I noticed that she was there?  Well, I was riding down the little hill at top speed, and then boom!  There goes a little girl across the rocky gravel.  I slam on my breaks.  Then I scan her head to toe.  Same hair, same sunglasses,  I saw her wear that dress before, "Ella (her little sister, 6)?" "Zoey?"  Then I look across the road, and I see Olivia.  "Olivia?" "Zoey!" she cried. "I can't believe that we are camping at the same place that's so cool!" she said  "I know! I'll come see you in a few hours." I replied. I turned my bike around.  "See ya!" I called. And I started back towards my campsite.

Camping Trip!

We're going camping!  I'm going with my mom, my dad, John and my doggy, Charlie.  We're also going with our camping buddies- Adults-Eric, Kayna, Scott and Heather.  Kids-Avery, Daikon, Sidney, and Anna.  We're going to blast some fireworks, roast some giant marshmallows, throw water balloons and much, much, more!  The campsite's called Nugget Lake.  We've all got our clothes packed, toys packed, and food packed.  We'll be gone from Wednesday, 4th of July, Friday, Saturday to Sunday.  There's lots of hiking and biking trails, so we're bringing bikes and helmets, and tennis shoes.  It's going to be super-duper fun!  

Summer Vacation!

Hey, guys!  Sorry I haven't been writing lately, but anyway it's: SUMMER VATCATION!  My babysitter's name is Clare.  She's only been babysitting John and I for 7(a week)days.  That's because she went on vacation to Spain and France for 12 days (counting the weekends).  For all the days she has been babysitting for John and I, I learned that Clare is: fun, smart, active, nice, she's really tall, a wonderful baker, she's a cross-country runner, she loves to read and much, much, more!  My new babysitter's name is Britney.  Britney is just like Clare, fun, active, nice, tall, wonderful baker, (she's not a cross-country runner though), and she loves to read.  We play board games, we go on the trampoline, Clare(or Britney) and I do crafts together, we also go to the pool, the park, Mc T's, and the library.  All those things are really fun.  this is going to be a wonderful summer!     

MMMMM!!!! Chocolate - My Favorite!

Girl Scouts + Pizza = Bowling

Last Thursday I went bowling with my Girl Scout troop, and the girl's mom.  In one lane there were the parents.  In another lane, there were half of the girls-Emily, Sierra, Skylar, Abby, and I.  In the other lane there were-Leah, Savannah, Julia, Annabelle, and Zea.  We only played one game, though.  Here is the scoring:

My Team

ZOEY: 73 points

ABBY:110 points                               
EMILY:85 points

SIERRA:83 points

SKYLAR:94 points

Also, before we did bowling we had pizza.  The kids got their pizza delivered in a little basket-like thingy.   We got to choose our type-cheese, pepperoni, or sausage (ours was homemade)!  The adults got theirs in a bigger basket-like thingy-they only got pepperoni and sausage.  And after we were done bowling, we got to go in the back were you need to get a pin out if it fell down or if a bowling ball got stuck!  And GUESS WHAT!? We even got a bowling pin to take home with us!

(my mom is going to upload pictures....but she's in Las Vegas for my grandma's birthday).         

 

Where the pins go after you hit them!

Sugar Cookies

A couple of days ago I baked 4th of July (or Memorial Day) themed sugar cookies and chocolate chip zucchini muffins with my Grandma Barb.  I made the sugar cookies all by myself.  First, I made the secret recipe of grandma Barb's famous sugar cookies. While the cookies were baking, we started to make some white (secret ingredient) frosting (not from the tub you buy in the store).  Then I got out red and blue sugar sprinkles.  Next, we took the cookies out to cool.  While we waited, we watched ''HOARDERS'' on Grandma's TV.  After the cookies finished cooling, Grandma got out a small spatula.  Then she took the cookies and started frosting them.  When she is done with one cookie, she passes it to me and I put red and blue sprinkles on it.  After we were done with all the cookies, Grandma said that we should "taste our efforts".  They were delicious!  On Monday mom brought the cookies to class for us to eat.  I told them that I made them all by myself.  A few of my classmates thought that I put poison in them!  I told them this, "I was with my Grandma! She loves children! She watched everything I did!"  Stay tuned to hear about the chocolate chip zucchini muffins!

Vacation!!!

Hi everyone!  My mom and my brother (John, 10) went to St. Louis  on Thursday, May 16-Sunday, May 20.  They went to St. Louis because my aunt Christa is graduating from law school.  Christa has a son, Adrian (he`s 8). John and Adrian get along really good.  And aren't they lucky, they get to see a Brewers vs. Cardinals baseball game!  So now I`m stuck here with Dad, Charlie, Girly Girl, Ferb and Phineas.  There's only two good things about me not going:  Dad doesn't now how to cook very well so were` probably going to have pizza every night. Second of all, mom said she`d bring me back a stuffed animal.  Maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all.

Ghost!

Hi guys!  In my pasture I have cows.  Half of the cows already had calves.  There is this one special calf who has a grayish-whitish coat.  It's a he, but I wish he was a she.  We named him Ghost.  But today since it was raining, he sort of had a white, gray and brown coat.  But do you know what's really weird?  It's that Ghost's mother is orange.  All orange.  Ok people, I`m having a contest!  Everybody, (you don't need to do this) when you leave a comment, come up with a name for Ghost's mom.  Good Luck!
