Tuesday

Today I woke up and played some video games on my laptop.  Mom was walking sandy when I got up.  When she got home Mom and I worked out in the basement.  I mostly lifted weights.  When we were done Mom had to do her meals on wheels route.  Esther and I went with her.  I listened to music the whole time.  After that we went to the grocery store.  Esther had chosen some ingredients for us to do chopped with.  She choose shrimp, orange juice, peaches, and cream cheese.  It was fun.  After that I watched some of the Olympics.  I watched water polo today.  It was the only thing on.  My favorite events are boxing, basketball, table tennis, and swimming.  My computer is definitely running faster then it was before Dad and I upgraded it.  I am happy we did.  Thanks for reading.

Monday

Today Esther and I played Mario Party while we waited for Mom to get home from getting the oil changed in Dads car.  We unlocked the last character we hadn't unlocked in the game.  It took us a while since we kept losing but we finally did it.  Then we went Guitar Center so I could try out the amp that i want to buy when I have enough money.  They didn't have the model I wanted though so I will have to order it online.  Then Esther and Mom ran into the knitting store.  Esther wanted some new yarn so she could make a hat.  When we got home We played a bored game.  I won by a lot.  Then I went and played Xbox with my friend who lives in Massachusetts.  When dad came home we worked more on my computer.  It is taking a lot longer then I expected.  Thanks for reading.

Sunday

Today the day started off pretty boring.  I have just been watching the Olympics.  Then Dad decided he wanted to upgrade my laptop.  So we went to Microcenter and got some more RAM and a new SSD.  I am writing my blog on the home computer while my old SSD is backing up to my new one.  Esther and I played Mario Party on the Wii for a while.  We were trying to unlock the last two characters and the last map on the game.  We unlocked one of the characters and the map.  We need to beat it again with the character we just unlocked to get the last character.  We will probably do that tomorrow.  Ryan Lochte won the 400 IM against Michael Phelps yesterday.  The U.S is doing very well so far.  I like watching the Olympics.  I do prefer the winter Olympics though.  Thanks for reading.

Saturday

Today Esther and I stayed at home while Mom and Dad ran some errands.  I watched the Olympics most of the time.  Esther was on her iPod most of the time.  When they came home they brought Wendy's.  I got a fish sandwich.  The rest of the family got hamburgers.  Mom and Esther had a swim banquet yesterday.  Dad and I didn't go.  We stayed home and we watched the Olympics for a while, then we were walking sandy but ended up talking to our neighbor Marty for a while.  They are moving to North Carolina so they are giving us some of there lamps they don't want to move to the new house.  We watch there cats whenever they are away.  After we were done talking to him Dad and I went to Dairy Queen.  I got a blizzard but couldn't finish it.  Dad got a sundae but couldn't finish his either.  Thanks for reading.

Batman

Today Esther, Mom, Dad and I all went to see The Dark Knight Rises.  It was pretty good but not that original.  I prefer Prometheus to The Dark Knight.  I would recommend it though.  After that we went to Wegman's for lunch.  Mom and I had pizza and Esther and Dad had subs.  The Olympics started today.  The opening ceremony was really cool.  I am really looking forward to the basketball and the fencing.  When I was in London I saw a lot of where the Olympics are going to be.  The stadium was impressive.  The day I was leaving London was the day all the athletes were arriving.  There were supposed to be 13,000 athletes arriving at the airport that day.  I'm glad were didn't have to deal with all the traffic.  I heard it was really bad in London.  I would really like to be able to go the Olympics someday.  Thanks for reading

boring day back home

Today I didn't really do anything.  Esther had a cello lesson.  Mom and I walked sandy while she was in her lesson.  It was almost 100 degrees out.  Sandy is now feeling kind of sick.  Dad is taking the day off of work tomorrow and we are either going to see a movie or going to see the space ship in D.C.  We don't know which one yet.  I want to see the space ship though.  This week and next week I am doing nothing but then I have an acting camp.  It is the same one Esther went to for the wizard of oz but it is the advanced one and it is a play written by a play write at George Mason.  It is called "Just so.  I have no idea what it is about.  Then we are going to visit Cape Cod and that's basically the whole rest of the summer.  I kind of want school to start again though.  Then I won't be so bored.  Thanks for reading!

day before I leave

Today Mom, Esther and I decided to pick each other four ingredients and have to make a lunch with it.  I chose Mom and Esther's ingredients and Mom choose mine.  I had to use baby spinach, quinoa, white beans and Goldfish.  I made a salad with the spinach, quinoa, and white beans.  I toasted goldfish with some olive oil in the oven to use as some croutons and made a balsamic vinaigrette.  It was pretty good but Esther didn't seem to like it as much as me and mom did.  Mom had to cook with Frozen fish fillets,  granola bars, bananas and seltzer water.  She made fish with a ginger orange sauce and some orange soda.  It was pretty good but chocolate does not go well with fish.  I am totally ready to leave for Europe tomorrow.  I am just going to be charging my electronics tonight.  I am not excited for the long plane ride though.  I have trouble sleeping on planes.  Thanks for reading.

Last day of packing and getting stuff for the plane ride

Today I went over the clothes I had in my suitcase each day with mom to make sure we had all the clothes I need.  I did so I checked how heavy it was and it was pretty heavy.  I just hope I don't have to carry it that much.  Next Mom and I went to pick up Esther from Culinaria her cooking camp.  They made zucchini bread Esther got to bring home.  It was pretty good.  Next I looked for another book on the kindle because I am almost done with the one I am reading.  I also got two movies.  I got Alien the original one and Predators the new one.  I am ready to leave on Thursday so I have nothing to worry about tomorrow.  I am really excited to go.  I haven't been pool more then once all summer.  I don't really like to go to the pool.  I don't know why.  Esther goes a lot though because of swim team.  Thanks for reading.

another boring day

Today Mom and I went to target to get some stuff for my trip.  We got some sunscreen and other stuff I need.  Esther was at Culinaria.  It is a cooking camp.  This is the second year she has done it.  She likes it a lot.  I got the Offspring's new album today.  It is really good.  I met my new neighbor James today.  I didn't get to talk to him for long but I got to meet him.  Esther has a swim meet tonight.  I do not know what she is swimming.  She is swimming a lot this summer.  She swims just about every morning from 830 to 930.  I am just about ready to leave for Europe.  There is only 2 days left before I leave.  I am all packed except for my   carry-on bag.  I will pack it the night before because most of it is electronics and I need to charge them.  I am bringing the kindle, my iPod, and some noise cancelling headphones.  I will need to remember all my chargers as well.  Thanks for reading.

Movies

Today I went and saw the movie Prometheus with my dad.  It was REALLY good.  My dad said he hadn't seen a movie that good in a long time after it was over.  The special effects were amazing.  Esther and Mom went and saw the new spider man movie while we watched Prometheus.  They said it was pretty good.  I don't know if I want to see if though because the knew character playing spider man isn't how I imagined him.  When both our movies were over we all went to get lunch.  Mom, Dad and I all had pizza but Esther had a hamburger.  When we got home I played Mario Kart with Esther.  I won every time.  Mom worked on packing some more of my stuff for Europe today.  I will work some more on it tomorrow.  I leave on Thursday.  Another thunder storm is here today.  I do not like the rain.  Thanks for reading!

Lazy day

Today I didn't do anything.  I spent a couple hours working on my computer.  I was modding minecraft with a modpack I had wanted for a while.  I got it to work and its a lot of fun.  A modpack is a group of modification to the coding of a game.  This modpack adds a bunch of items to the game.  I am going to start packing tomorrow probably and I might be able to hang out with some of my friends.  This week will be pretty boring.  I don't have any plans.  Dad was looking at show times today for Prometheus so I will probably go see it with him tomorrow.  I would really like to be able to hang out with all my friend before I leave for Europe.  Esther and Dad saw the hunger games today.  Esther had already seen but Dad hadn't so she went with him.  I thought the hunger games was okay when I saw it.  I still think the book is better though.  Thanks for reading.

Cast Party

Today I had camp again.  We did a lot of fun stuff like writing parodies for some of the songs we had in the show.  My group did a really good one.  We also played some of our favorite games.  It was a lot of fun.  Esther and Mom went to see the movie brave today.  They said it was really good.  I really want to see the movie Prometheus.  It is the prequel to Alien.  My friend who saw it said it was awesome.  Alien is one of my favorite movies of all time, another one is Predator.  This weekend I am going to hang out with some of my friends and finish packing for Europe.  I would really like to go see the movie Prometheus with my dad this weekend as well.  I am very happy I am going to be here for the baseball all star game.  I really want to watch it.  Bryce Harper just barely lost to David Freese in the all star voting.  I do not know if any Nationals players made it even though they are doing really well.  Thanks for reading.

Show

Today I went to camp and all morning we worked on the show all morning.  Then I was planning to buy lunch but the place was closed so I didn't eat any lunch.  Then at two we had our show.  Mom and Esther came to see is.  They both said they liked it.  It went really well.  We only messed up once but it was no big deal.  I think mom and Esther recorded so maybe some video at some point.  Tomorrow I have camp even though we performed today.  We are going to have a cast party tomorrow.  We are going to play theater sports most of the time.  Theater sports is a type of impov comedy theater.  You have to come up with a scene out of almost nothing.  It is a lot of fun.  There are a lot of fun games we play.  This weekend I need to finish packing for Europe.  That is all I have planned for the weekend.  Thanks for reading.

4th of July

Today is the 4th of July.  We went out to eat at Chili's.  I had a black bean barbecue burger.  Esther had a hamburger but she had to send it back the first time because it was raw.  They gave us a new one though.  Then Mom and Dad decided we should go to a furniture store because we needed a desk for the living room to put where the piano used to be.  We got a set of a desk a stand to put the TV on, a file cabinet and a chair.  It was a great deal.  Dad won't buy any fire works this year because he doesn't want want to scare sandy.  Esther and  I really want him to get some fire works though.  Mom says they are televising the DC fireworks tonight but it won't be the same.  Tomorrow is my show.  I am excited to perform.  I am going to be really bored next week before I leave because I will have nothing to do.  Thanks for reading.

Last day of rehearsal

Today was the last day we had for rehearsal at camp.  We almost ran the whole show.  It is one hour and fifteen minutes long.  Mom and Esther are going to come and see it.  I think they will like it.  It is really funny. Our theme is journeys and traveling.  Which I think is funny because Ms. Hard is going to Europe with me next week.  We aren't doing anything for the fourth of July tomorrow.  I don't even think we are going to see the fireworks.  I haven't seen them in a couple years.  Next week I am not doing anything except getting ready for Europe.  I leave on Thursday.  I probably won't have enough time to write my blog while I am gone.  I will have lots to write about when I get back thought.  I am taking a cooking class in France.  I think that will be awesome.  We are going to be eating a lot of great food because Ms. Hard is a self proclaimed foodie.  Thanks for reading.

Camp

Today I had camp again.  It is the same camp I had last week.  We have 1 more rehearsal before we perform because we have the fourth of July off.  We perform on Thursday.  We our done with our show all we have to do is a dress rehearsal.  I am excited to perform it.  I think it will be good.  Next Thursday I am leaving for Europe.  I got a letter from grandma today with some Euro's and Pounds to use on my trip.  Thank you.  I am really excited to see France.  I have already been to England but I will probably see more of it on this trip.  I need a book to read on the kindle for my plane ride there and back.  Any suggestions?  I won't be doing anything for the next couple weeks after my trip.  I will probably be hanging out with friend a lot.  Esther has a swim meet tonight so it will just be me and dad home tonight.  Thanks for reading.

Blog

Today I went to Target with Esther and Dad so that Esther could spend her gift certificate she got for her birthday.  She didn't actually buy anything though.  I had a gift card from my birthday last year.  I spent that on a video game I had wanted for a long time.  It was on clearance today.  It is pretty good so far.  It is an old western game.  Tomorrow I have camp again.  I am excited for it.  We are almost done with are script and will definitely be ready for Thursday.    We only have two more days to work on it because we have the fourth of July off.  I am just about ready for my trip.  All I have to do is pack my bag.  I am leaving a week from Thursday.  Today is the last day of the X games.  I am excited to watch the really car finals tonight.  In the skateboarding finals there was a guy from Lowell Massachusetts.  Unfortunately he didn't place.  Thanks for reading.
