Day 46

Today we went out on the boat. We went tubing. Mom has the speed record at 20 MPH. Esther and I both tied her. It was really flat so we could go really fast on the tube. We could stay on a lot longer to. There is this show my dad and I watch called Stargate Atlantis. My favorite episode so far this season is the one were Ronan gets captured. My favorite character is Ronan because he is a Warrior. I can't wait to go to Gibson's party(review day 45). Finally a night away from Esther. I'm going to go swimming at Gibson's party also.

Day 45

Yesterday Gibson and I went to the 99 Restaurant with Mom and Esther. Gibson and I had toasted ravioli. I finished it all. Gibson ate all but three ravioli. We sang Pocketful of Sunshine,while we waited for our food. Strangely, no one looked at us weirdly. Saturday, he is having his birthday party. I got him a card that makes sounds when you open it. On the front it says "How does 50 bucks for your birthday sound?" Then when you open it, it bucks like a chicken 50 times. I am also going to get him a present but I don't know what to get him. Dad might get me the next Naruto volumes (number 30-31). In the last volume I read, Naruto is outside the Atsuki's hideout. Inside Naruto, there is the nine-tailed fox spirit. The Atsuki want to take the spirit and use it for themselves. They are trying to rescue Gaara (he has the one-tailed spirit inside him). There were all the spirits (one through nine) but now only these two are left (that we know about).

Day 44

Today I played LIFE with Mom. She won. She had $ 1,600,000. I only had $ 1,330,000:(. I kicked her butt two days ago in LIFE: Twist and Turns. LIFE: Twist and Turns is a modern version of LIFE. There is a Life pod (kind of like a calculator) that keeps track of all your money and Life points. Life Points are like Life tiles in LIFE. I'm bringing Gibson to Bring-a-Buddy day but he isn't sleeping over. We are having dinner out somewhere. We will probably go to the 99 Restaurant. Gibson and I are vegetarians. I have been a vegetarian for about 6 months now. Gibson has been a vegetarian for his whole life. His Mom is vegan so he was raised as a vegetarian. Did you know more than 25% of the world is vegetarian?

Day 43

Today I had my friend Gibson over. We went to the park. There is a library at the park. Gibson didn't want to go into the library. I might have Gibson over for a sleepover tomorrow. Tomorrow at karate it is Bring a Buddy day. I am going to bring Gibson to karate, then he might sleep over!!!!!!!! Tonight for dinner we are having meatball subs. I am having veggie meatballs. My dad isn't happy because some builder guys are putting stakes on our property. They are building the bike path. It is going to go behind our house.

Day 42

Today was my first full day at home. It was pretty dull. I watched a lot of TV. We did have to do some grocery shopping. We went to the Grand Union. It was having some work done on the outside; it could use some improvements. We saw Eileen there. Eileen is our baby sitter. She was taking care of Gooey while we were in CA. I had a french horn lesson. I know half a scale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's really fun to play the french horn. A lot of people will tell you the french horn is really hard, but it isn't, it's fun. I love to play the french horn. That is all I did today(that and write my blog). Pretty boring huh?

Day 41

Today I was on an airplane (and at the airport). Our plane was delayed because the plane we were supposed to go on had something wrong with the engine. Then (to make it worse) the pilot said the engine wouldn't be fixed for eight to ten hours!!!! Luckily they had a plane coming in from New York and we would get on that plane:). But the people that were supposed to get on that plane couldn't because we were getting on it. That's their problem though! I played Nintendo DS most of the way. The game I played was Bionicle Heros. In the game you are a Bionicle and you have to kill the Piraka(the bad guys). It's FUN.

Day 36-40

On Sunday I went to watch Indiana Jones : the kingdom of the crystal skull. It was good but I didn't like how there was aliens in it. Then we packed up for Yosemite. On Monday we drove to Yosemite. It was pretty boring. We got in trouble for being to loud:(. Tuesday we were very tired because there were some drunk college kids next to are tent partying all night. That morning we woke up at six to go horse back riding. I hated it but, my sister loved it. My horse was named Moose, Esther's was named Peco, Mom rode Poco, and My dad rode on Prusila. My horse was slow. Then we moved into another lodge called Curry Village. I had the best sleep in a while. The next day we took a bus up to Glacier Point and hiked down. I loved it and my sister hated it. Wednesday we walked to lower Yosemite falls. It was amazing. Esther got a little souvenir raccoon. I didn't get anything at Yosemite. Then we drove to Sequoya. That was boring also. In Sequoya we slept in hotel. The next day we saw the tree that has the largest volume in the world. It's called General Sherman. Then we walked up 399 steps to Moro rock. You can alot at the top. The last thing we did was drive under a red wood tree. It was cool. Then we drove to Livermore. That was boring too. Today I went flying with grandpa and Uncle Rob in his plane and had breakfast at Two-niner diner. I had Cinnamon french toast it was good. Then we went over the Golden Gate bridge. I loved it.
