CLEANING THE CHURCH!

Well today my family and some other families were supposed to clean the church and so we woke up early this morning and headed to the church. We got started and i did the bathrooms and my sisters and let me tell you never ever clean the boys toilets! it's a good lesson to learn! of course my sisters and i refused to clean the urinals so we called in Tanner and he cleaned it and then after that when Cicely and i were cleaning the toilets one of the stalls were locked and of course we weren't going to touch the floor so Kjirsten climbed over the side of the stall and unlocked it. After all of the bathrooms were done Cicely and I went out and swept the sidewalks around the church (which i don't get because they're outside so they're going to get dirty) The only reason we did it is because the church prints out a paper of stuff to do and so you sign it when you get it done with. When we were done with that we did the glass and the drinking fountains which weren't on the list but they looked dirty so we did them anyways. This isn't as easy as it sound though! it took us a couple of hours to finish cleaning the church! Only one other person showed up other than out family and she just vacuumed the chapel so our family pretty much single handedly cleaned the entire church! I had a good time though! cleaning the church is a perfect way to serve!

BOTTOM BRACES.

Yesterday Cicely and I went to the orthodontist to get our bottom braces and if you want to hear Cicely's side of it you can go on her blog but right now your going to hear my side. When we got there and were waiting my friend Nida came in and she was getting her braces tightened so it was fun in the waiting room until i had to go in. After that i sat down and they put all of this cotton in my mouth and this thing to keep my mouth open but the lady that was supposed to put the actual braces was doing Cicely's and so i had to sit there for like 2 minutes and i hate that stuff so i was sort of mad but once she put them on and i got to have all of that stuff out of my mouth i was a lot happier! As soon as they were off she changed the colors on the top and she told me that i have really good brushing so i can have the colors on the bottom! i got red and green of course for Christmas. When i got to go all happy that it was finally over Cicely walks out all mad because she didn't get colors and the lady had moved her braces three times so the other lady had to come in again and fix them three times and also i guess when she was clipping off the wire on the end she clipped Cicely's cheek too so i don't think that Cicely was very happy! well that's the story! i realize it was boring but if you were there it would have been a lot more exciting! i promise!

The best night ever!!!!!

Well we weren't able to go to the Nutcracker this year so my parents decided to take us to the nicest restaurant in Tucson as the replacement of that. They told us that we had to dress like we would to go to church. It seemed like forever before Saturday came but when it did we all got ready in our dresses, high heels, suits, and ties and we were finally in the car and on our way.........but then we tunrned around and got our video camera and then we were on our way for real. We were all excited and when we got there and a guy opened the doors for us and we for the first time saw what it looked like and it was very cool! I think that the main reason that we like to do this is just to spend time with each other which i think we have been successful in every year when we do this! I had like the most amazing food ever and i even got lava cake! talk about delicious! afterwards we decided to go to the mall and get Tanner a new bed because his was getting too old so we got rid of it and decided to get him a new bed however the mall was closed. Did i mention that we left at 4:30 and got there at 5:30 and spent two hours there so it was pretty late! We finally made our way home and got there and i hope that we're able to do the same thing next year. Oh yeah i have a funny story form dinner! it was all quiet because everyone in the restaurant was either whispering or eating their food and then we hear a big CRASH that just about gave me a heart attack and i look back and one of the guys who refills your water dropped a tray of a bunch of plates and cups i felt bad for him but i just went on eating because i was eating my lava cake an who can turn their head away form that for more than a second you know! Well all in all it was a wonderful night full of good food and heart attacks.

THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!

On the saturday before thanksgiving Jaleice, Jarrin, David, Scott, Grampa Darrel and Gramma Leoma came and we had a lot of fun! we swam and played card games and talked to zombie's ( Jaleice made them up so that we could kill them along with some chupicabra's) and we also went and made a fort behind our house. Jarrin, David and Scott helped us with that and it was the best fort ever. I hope that we can keep it forever and nobody else will steal it and claim it as their own. On thanksgiving we had another family over named the enniss's and they have four people in their family ( the dad has been my dad'd best frined since they were kids). Anyway all helped to make the tables and everbody sat down to out three turkey's,vegetables, rolls, olives, potatoes, yam's, gravy, cranberry sauce, green beans, and creamed corn. As a drink we had sparkling cider. YUMMY! Of course we didn't eat it all so we still have leftovers for about thirty years of thanksgiving's. After we were all done with that we all went and worked on the fort and when we got back my uncle Jeff and aunt Jen were here. They were a little bit late for earting but they got some of the food and heated it up so that they could have a thankjsgiving meal of their own. We all shared what we were thankful for and they got right to eating because you know who can't stand a good thanksgiving meal! when thanksgiving was over we all did the usual and before we knew it it was saturday when Jarrin, Jaleice, Uncle Jeff, and aunt Jen had to leave and we were ll sad but they had to get back home and get ready for christmas too. When saturday was over and sunday (today) came at 5 o'clock everybidy else left. Thank you David and Scott for helping with the fort and just basically coming. Thank you Jarrin and Jaleice for having a really fun time with me and playing with tanner. Thank you Jeff and Jen for beung there when i was bored to death. Last but not least thank you Gramma and Grampa for my shoes! they are the best! i got lots of compliments on them today! I love all of you guys soooooooooooooooooo much! i hope that all of you guys get a chance to read this!

MY DOG'S!!!

Well i just felt like writing a post and so i decided to write it about my dog's! Today we bathed them and so they smell oh so good and it also gets all of the hair off of them and that's good because my mom does not like them! They are very cute! They are fat so they are on a diet of only half a cup of diet food every day but they're small dog's so i guess that's the perfect amount! They are already done growing so they're going to be really small dog's forever. Teddy is white and an orangish and George is black and white. Here are some pictures of them!

CARPET CLEANING!

Well today we are getting our carpets cleaned and they are going to clean all of the rooms with carpet except for the theatre and my parents room so we are going to get some board games and play in the theatre while they are cleaning our carpet. My mom doesn't like it when there are complete strangers doing it so she hired a guy that's in our ward who works for another guy in our ward so that better for her. I don't know how long its going to take but i have my ways of getting around without stepping on the carpet or putting a pillow on the carpet. The reason why we are getting out carpets cleaned is because we have dogs that are a little bit stupid in the potty training area so i guess that you get the point. I will put on another one for how long it stuff like that. until then ba bye!

HAPPY DAYS!

Well just barely tanner and this boy named jared that came over caught two lizards! they are very cute actually! we just kept come apples and lettuce and we kept them in a cage with a fake log that they can go in and a water bowl. After we had them for a day we went to the pet shop and bought them some food and a food bowl. they are doing very well! they are tree lizards. they are both girls because the boys have blue bellies and neither of them have blue bellies! we are going to try to catch at least one boy though so that we can sell the babies. They can have 2-16 babies so that will be quite a bit for the pet store to handle! oh well! our cage is not that big but i will try to get some pictures of them and put them on here! remind me if i don't! My dad also just caught another lizard that is a boy and he is the same kind of lizard! He is the biggest lizard that i have ever seen!

SPOOKY!!!!!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!

Well if you are wondering why I did that title is because we never look over the fence before we jump over ans then tanner was going to watch him and luckily he came in time to show tanner what was right where he would have landed. Guess what it was... the biggest poisonous snake that i have ever seen! it was a diamond back and tanner land on his hands and knees so chances are he would have lost one part of his body including his head. which also means that he might have died! when cicely and I came over cicely said hi to it and then it jumped at us! I dont think that any of us have jumped any higher than that! it was about three inches wide and about three feet long! you dont even know how lucky tanner is! luuckily my mom wasnt there or else we would be gone in about 3 seconds! for three years here we havent seen a snake even close to that big! afeter that before my mom could see it went into the bushes. we are not allowed to go over the fence or go in our front yard alone anymore. We have to have an adult with us. My dad tried to kill the snake with his ax but it was already gone so he couldnt find it anymore. and of course that stinks because it was so close to our house so i am very scared! hopefully we will never see one again! we got it on video and i know that my dad is going to put it on our families blog at www.collinshappenings.blogspot.com!

Primary program

Yesterday was my last primary program! it was of course kind of scary because i had to do a talk and sing in a little group of like six girls. i don't exactly like primary programs so i am glad that it was my last primary program! there not that fun so i am glad that it was my last one! tanner had to memorize something too and he didn't like it either! i am really bad at like capitalising like the i's and and the letter at the beginning of the sentence! so sorry about it! well i just wanted to tell you that!

School!

I just decided that it would be a good time to give you an update on school! Well of course it is still going well and we still love it! it takes us up to 4 hours a day except for tanner it takes him up to 3 hours a day. His work isn't quite as hard. we still love it though and so does he! my parents are happy with it and we are not going to go back to middle school and tanner is never going to go to middle school either but i want to go to high school and so does cicely but tanner doesn't have to decide yet because he is only in 4th grade and still in elementary school. well that is basically all that i have to say about school for now!

THE RICHARDS!

This week for a couple of days this family that we knew from Utah came! As you can probably tell their names are the Richards the two parents Mark and Emily have to kids named Dax and Taj. When they arrived here we just hung around for a while! Later that day we went to the space museum and of course the best part for Dax and Taj was the fact that you could get into some of the planes so we spent quite a while in that room and then after that we went around and looked at some planes and stuff related to that until Tag sated to get cranky and then the boys stayed behind to go to the store and buy some planes for Dax and Tanner and all of the girls and Taj went home to put Taj down for his nap and also to just hang around. When all of the boys except for Taj came home we swam and went in the hot tub. When my dad and I got out we made chocolate fondue. Its basically melted chocolate and cream. Of course we got angel cake and fruit to go with it! I love fondue so it was very good! The next day we swam a lot more. In fact i think that we swam just about all day! Later that day when everyone was ready for dinner all of the parents went out to dinner while Cicely, kj, and i babysat the other kids and tanner just played with them and kyle was of course just playing video games alone in his room. By the way i am going to put a slide show of the pix that i took that night. When all of the parents got home everyone was tired and ready for bed so we all went to bed. In the morning when everyone was awake we just hung around knowing that they were going to leave the next day. We went in the pool again and then when we got out my dad made fondue except for this time it was a different fondue it is basically just a bunch of different kinds of melted cheese and we got turkey and bread to dip in this fondue and it was good too but not as good as chocolate fondue but you cant blame me! who doesn't love chocolate! The next day we didn't go swimming but we did watch a lot of TV and at about 11:30 we all said our good bye's and they were on their way to their hotel in Las Vegas and the next day they went back to their home in Utah. It was a lot of fun!

FUN DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last Saturday there was a temple trip for the young men and young women and so Cicely, Kj, and Kyle went. They left very early so when everyone was ready and Cicely, Kj, and Kyle were gone we all decided that we wanted to go and do some shopping and do something fun. We decided that we wanted to go horse back riding so i brought my boots to change into. When we left we went to a farmers market which is an out door market where people can sell stuff and we realized that there was a chili contest so there was a lot of people there. While we were there we bought some bread,honey,soda's, and a snow cone for Tj. When we left the farmers market we went to this place at colossal cave which is not too far from our house and we went on our 1 hour ride. The horses that we got are the same horses that we had when we rode up in pine top because they share horses and i got gizmo this time and last time i got cat baloo. Last time Tj got a very mean horse named Jake so we told the people that he didn't want Jake so he got frosty but sadly my mom ended up with Jake. My dad got smoky last time and this time he got yet another good horse named mike. We all loved the horses that we rode except for Jake nobody liked Jake. When we left horse back riding lessons we went to the store and bought a lot of stuff that i don't feel like listing. After that we went home and un-loaded the car and then my mom and i left to pick up the other kids from the place that they were supposed to get picked up. After that we watched football and then ate dinner and did some other non-important stuff and then went to bed.

Horse back rididng lessons!

Today i went to horse back riding lessons and i did the usual setting pretty up fro riding but after i was in the rink and i had her warmed up they told me to post(gallop) at first i was scared to do it but after a while of trying to make her do it she did it for a second and it was not bad. When i finally got her to do it for longer than that i was scared that i was going to fall off! When i finally got the hang of it but i still had to hold on to the horn on the saddle it was time to go. I of course was not excited to go but i had fun today! It is a lot different than walking and trotting so i think that i still have to get used to it! I am glad that i started now though! i don't have anymore pictures of lessons but i will be sure to get some more!

Here are some pictures of my riding lessons that i finally found.

Well I was looking through the pictures on our computer and I found some pictures of my lessons. I decided that I would put them on my blog so that the people that go on my blog can see what I do and where I ride. I mostly ride with sister Mayfield but in most of these I am working with brother Mayfield. In the first picture I am riding in the small rink because it is my first lesson. I really love horse back riding lessons but i only have 4 out of 10 left.

My highlights!!!

Here are some pictures of my hair,my sisters hair,and my mom's hair. We don't have pictures of our nails though. Well if you want to hear the whole story than go to http://www.collinshappenings.blogspot.com/. You cant really tell how light they are but their pretty light and i love them! You can comment to tell me what you think.

PLEASE...

Please someone come and visit! We are really starting to get lonely down here and i would really appreciate it if someone would come down here and visit! Some of you haven't even seen our home(i think). I miss everyone a lot and i really would love it if you would just take some time and come visit us! My mom,cicely,tj, and me will always be home so when you come everyone wont be gone all the time. Kj,kyle,and my dad don't get home too late so you will get lots of time to see them too especially on weekends. Well if you aren't able to i understand but please at least try! There isn't anyone coming any time soon that we know of so just call and we can set up a time!

School

school has been good so far. I think that every one of us likes it. We do about 5 to 7 classes every day. After those we do study island (a place where if we answer a question right we get to play a short little game but if we don't we have to keep on trying. After study island we can do whatever we want around the house or we can do p.e. Of course we have to do it sometime during the day but we can choose and we have to do it for an hour. Kyle and kj are doing good in school too. They have lots of friend there and they are liking their classes.

My awesome mom!

Well since i wrote about my dad i decided to write about my mom! She is amazing! She has the chance to stay home and help us with our work when we need and she feeds us,also goes to the grocery store, helps us when we need someone to talk to,and when we miss the bus or in Tanner,Cicely,and my case when we need to be picked up from a friends house she is right there for us. I don't think that anyone really realizes how much she does for us! Just like my dad i couldn't ask for a better mom! She truly is amazing and not only to my family but to others too! so i just wanted to say to both of my parents! thank you for all that you do for me! i love you guys soooooooooo much!

My awesome dad!

well something happened recently (it wasn't like someone got hurt or anything) so i was told to write about my dad on my blog so that people can really understand what he does and stuff like that! He is the best dad that i could ask for! even though he is working on the house to make it perfect for us to live in,at work making money to support our family,getting groceries to feed us,or out with the missionaries doing what he needs for the church he still leaves time to spend with the family. My Dad helps out lots of people who can't help themselves. Well the last or second to last thing that i have to say is that if you think that he is exactly how i explained then please just leave a comment! Alright! bye!

pix of my braces!

Here are some pix of my braces. Cissy,kj,and kyle may be in them! Pretty cool ha?I only put two on because the other two looked exactly the same!

i have awesome news!

Today I went to the orthodontist expecting to ge the usual(a check up) but when is at down i noticed that everyone around me was getting braces. Of course there was only like 5 people but it still made me curious. When a lady came in she told me to go in and get some pictures taken of my mouth,so i went to this room and there was cicely waiting so it was nice to see her there with me because i had been sitting alone for a while while she got some things prepared and then a lady said "are you excited to get your braces?" So i just nodded and then when i went in they told me that i was and it was about 30 minutes ormaybe 45 and it didn't hurt at all! It was that fast because they only put the top ones on. I don't know when ill get my bottom ones on but hopefully soon! My braces don't hurt yet but from when kyle and kj got theirs on i know that they will hurt soon! I love my braces! Well i will keep you updated on like whats going on!




i will put some pix on later!

Going to school for lunch and seeing friends!

Well today after horse-back riding lessons cicely and i got to go to school and go to lunch with our friends. Cicely and i went to both 6th and 7th grade lunches. It was sooooo much fun at my lunch even though we almost got kicked out because we didn't have food to eat so we just ate some of my friends food. When we were done eating after like 2 minutes we went out to recess. Recess was pretty fun because i got to say hi to everyone that i didn't get to see at lunch and then when the bell rang we went right out to 7th grade lunch which was fun for cicely but i got abandoned so it was no fun for me! Same with her recess! But all in all it was fun! So that was like my whole day! not really!

MY SECOND DAY DOING HORSE-BACK RIDING LESSONS!

Well today was really fun! Well we did all of the stuff like we did last time except one thing extra,bug spray but the other things we did last time too which include brushing her,putting two blankets on,putting her saddle on and cleanings out her hoofs. Now this next part is a little different! I went and rode her in the little arena again for a while and then they thought that I was ready for the big one! so i got to ride her there (it was like 3 feet away) when we got there i walked for a while and then i got to trot! It was my first time! It was a little painful but better then when i rode a horse and it trotted and i had no clue what i was doing! When i really got the techniques down of riding a horse it was time to get off and take everything off. this time instead of Amy (sister.Mayfield) helping me do that Austin (brother.Mayfield) did it. Of course its his horse so he was able to tell me a lot more about her and after that was all done and it was time to go Austin decided that he wanted to do one more thing. I got to feed her so e apple! So did Cicely. I am sure that he would let kj but since she is at school she missed out on it! Well that was my horse back riding lesson!

My first horse back riding lesson!

Well let me just say this first I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok so the first thing that i did was get the horse,pretty,ready for riding which is putting Pretty's saddle on,getting some bug repellent on so that she is comfortable while i am riding her,scraping all of the dirt off of her hooves,brushing her,putting on a helmet so that i can be safe, and getting her away from her baby that she just had like a month ago or something. When we were done i got to walk her to the place where i would ride her which was really small but i had to go there so that she could teach me the techniques that you need to know while riding a horse and when i was done riding her for about five minutes it was time to get everything off and go. I know that sounds like 10 minutes but it was actually 1 hour! Boy how time flies when you are having a blast! Well i am very excited for next week when i get to ride her through the big area for riding(i forgot what she called it) well let me just say one more thing the lady that gave me lessons is sister.Mayfield who we converted to the church so we know her and she said that she was shocked when brother.Mayfield let me ride pretty because that's his special horse! He just barely let his wife start riding it but to make sure that you know how special she is mt dad says that that's like him letting me drive his car. That's how special pretty is and i got to ride her!

OUR SURPRISE CAMPING TRIP!

I hope that i am getting this right! Well our parents surprised us by telling us that on friday we were going to leave for camping. We were all excited for the trip so we all got as much sleep as we could over night,packed,and were on our way by about 1:00. The ride was about 6 or 7 hours and it was good. We took a couple of stops,slept,talked,listened to music,and we played video games. When we finally got there thats when things started to go wrong. First we had a hard time pariking the trailor because there was a little hill type thing so we were at a slant that night,our water heater froze and so we could not have hot water because i guess that there was a part that was really hard to find,and lastly there was some stupid lady that was staying in a tent by us and i guess was trying to sleep so she came over and started yelling at my parents. Well the next day was much better we went out to a barbecue and had some good food. When we got back it was pretty late and because we didnt only goout to linner(lunch and dinner as the same meal) but we went and did some shopping so when we got back it was pouring so we had to stay insida and play games and stuff like that. The next day was sunday the day that we would normally be going to church but we actually had a really good day while my mom was still sleeping all of the kids got ready and went out and played. We went and talked to our neighbors who had been really nice and had helped us a lot and when we saw there kids we were surprised because they had a girl who was like a year younger then tj so he had a blast with her and cicely and i playse with a girl that was 10. That day my dad started a fire off of a i guess you could call it a fire place that cicly and kj built and then we heard a POP and a peace of shail exploded! We were done with the fire after that! By the way during most if this kyle was playing video games inside just in case you were wondering! We all playse with our friends until like 7:30 at night and then we had to go inside and get ready for bed but before we fell asleep(except for kyle and tj) we finished a 1000 peace puzzle! when we were finished at 10 we finally went to bed. In the morning i slept in along with my parents and kj and when i woke up we all got ready and while my parents went and packed and cleaned up the trailor us kids all went out and caught krodads(including kyle) and then while kyle and kj did something alse we went and played with our friends again and before we knew it it was time to leave we said our good bye's and left. The ride home was roughly 5 and a half hours when we got home we already missed camping but we were happy to be home again! That was our time at pine top camping! it was sooooooo fun!

MY HORSE-BACK RIDING LESSONS!!!

Well i decided that i am going to tell you about my 10 weeks at my horse-back riding lessons. I am going to have a lesson every Tuesday for 10 weeks. Every time that i do something different i will tell about it on my blog. Of course i am going to tell about Tuesday first and i might tell you about every day doing it so go on more often! Nobody has been going on to this lately so finally something is happening so i will be writing on this more often!!!

Last day at camp!

Sorry that i haven't been able to write about it for a while but i have been busy! Anyway let me start we got on the bus and when we got there for the first time we got ot pick groups! Kj was with Stephanie and Andrea,Cicely,and i were a group too. We were supposed to just have groups of 2 but Karin said that we could be in a group of 3. We all got 2 papers with pictures of solar powered ovens and we were told to go on the website that it had on the paper,pick a oven,look it up on the website, and get as much info as we could because the printer was not working! When we found one that we wanted to do we looked it up and there was about a page of info so we just wrote down what we needed and got to work. It took till like 45 minutes till lunch. We used Kj and Stephanie's oven for lunch and Cicely's and Andrea's and mine to make our dessert. For lunch we had nachos,pizza,and quesadilla's and for dessert we had smores. When we were waiting for our food to be done we took a break for about half an hour and then we went inside and worked on our movies. For my group we went out into the hall and filmed our movie. When we were finished filming it was time to go out and eat our lunch. It was really good! Especially the smores! When we were done with our lunch we went inside and we finished our movies,but the only bad thing was that in order to finish the movie we had to sit at our computers and add all of the effects and crap like that it was fun until we had been sitting there for about half an hour and then it got borin and we had still had about 3 hours left and i was sooooo tired! When the parents started showing up(i know we normally go home on the bus but today they were going to do a presentation on our week and show our movies) we all went out and sat with them. Our dad only came so we sat with him and showed him our computer lab and ten they told us to start eating our dinner. Us girls luckily got there like first. So we got the good stuff which was chicken wings and pizza. For a drink we got pepsi! My favorite drink!!! Anyway we got bags full of stuff and watched our movies! After that it was finally over!!! and our week at camp was over! it was fun but we gat andrea and stephanie's phone number,e-mail,and blog so it is all good! So that was a fun week!

Today we were on our way to the bus,we issed it! We finally caught up to it thoughe got there we did the same as usual, we went on the computers and did stf until Karen told us what we were going to do today which i am going to keep a surprise so keep on going and you will find out! after she told us she split us up in groups of 4. we went out to the U fo A campus and each group got a paper and we all read it. WE WERE GOING TO DO A SCAVENGER HUNT! the only bad thing was that we were going to have to find things in this huge campus and it was soooooooo hot!!!!!!!!!! luckily we all got sodas and our group leader(the adult walking around with us) was the person who made the scavenger hun so she knew where everything was! she really helped us but when we walked through the place where we had to find a student eating and take a picture with him/her we were all sooooooooo hungry and tired we all wanted to stop and take a rest and eat in the air conditioning because guess what she took us to the food court to findthat person! we couldnt eat though! when the scavenger hunt was finally over we got to go inside adn go to lunch! we had a three course lunch for the first time this week and for the appitizer i sat with a lady that i forgot what she did but she was the last lady that Cicely and KJ went to so if you read theirs you will find out! but for the entre i sat with a lady who does soething else that was really boring so i didnt really listen but the last lady that i sat with had a puffer fish and a baby shark that was taked out of its mothers belly and still had an egg sack stuck on it! it was absolutely discusting! it was still kind of interesting though. after lunch we all went on our computers and thats when i realized that i need to switch computers because i wrot all about day 3 and it sadi error again and would not let me post it! but all the computers were taken and so i went onto g-mail and chatted with my dad. it was very fun because a stupid movie about math was on so i just ignored it and then Karen made me tell my dad that i had to go so i did and then had to watch the next movie that was really short but funny! why cant they make the long ones funny and the short ones boring? but oh well so after that it was time to go it think because i dont remember anyhting alse! so thatw as my day! this stupid computer isnt doing anyhting right so i cant spell check it! so just read it as well as you can!

my actual second day at camp!

Today we got on the bus and when we got there we did what we usually do which is go on the computer and do whatever we want on it. After that a guy came adn talked to us about airplanes and how they work and people who fly them and stuff like that. After that we went out into the room right outside the computer lab and he split us up into groups of 4 and gave us a flat piece of foam and made us start from scratch! It was sooooooooooo hard! When we were done drawing,cutting,decorating,adding final touches,and testing it everyone went outside and one by one a person from each team went up these stairs and threw the plane for the team. it took forever because there was like 8 teams and only 4 people would go up at a time! in the end i was the last person to go out of everyone there! when we were done with the airplane thing we all went in the shade under this thing where we always eat and got our pepsi and sandwhich and ate our lunch. after lunch the FBI came and talked to us about what they do and what other people do on crime scenes and then when one of them was talking to us the other went and set up fake crime scenes. They were kinda stupid but we still all got a piecec of paper (they split us up in teams of 6 or something like that) and we all had to do what our jobs were on the paper. when the FBI left we all took that time to go outside and take a break for a while. when they told us to come inside we all wrote on our blogs and when i was finished it didnt post and i lost the whole entire thing so now i have to write it all over again! so that was my day! anyway if you watched the news or looked at the news paper kj and i were on the news and the KJ and Cicely were the only ones on the front cover of the news paper!

my secod day at camp!

i am writing this so that i will remember to write abotut this camp tomorrow so i will finish later!

My very first day at camp!

Today we got on the bus at about 7:30 and got to U of A at about 8. When we got off we got some time to play some games that helped introduce eachother. After that we went out for snack and we got chips. when we were done with our snack we got some time to kind of go around and meet some other kids that were there. When we were done and it was time to come inside and when we got in there there was a guy who taught about digital photography and put us all in a group of 3 and sent us to go around with an adult and take some pictures. they were very cool pictures and i had a lot of fun because they chose our groups for us and so Cicely,Kj,and i were never together and that made it easier to meet new people. when we were done with that we went inside and then went right back out so that we could have lunch. We got turkey sandwiches,Pepsi,chips,and a cookie. it was really good! after we ate lunch it was time to go inside and when we went inside we made these! it took a while but we finally finished making our blogs! after that we took a while to make some skits but we only got to decide what we were going to do and we didn't do it yet. By the way we were in groups of 3 again for the skits and we got the teams that we had for the digital photography when we took the pictures. after that we messed up theses pictures of us on this website that i forgot the name of us and we were supposed to put them on our blog but mine wouldn't go so i am going to put it on tomorrow! well after that we hopped on the bus and went to the bus stop at this school that i also forgot the name of! and that was my day! sounds fun ha?
