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!

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!

my third day at camp!
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 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?
