Florida post 3

So, yesterday, wesa all went canoeing/kayaking. We as in: Me, Rachel, her mom, and two younger brothers and their dog, Bambi. Me, Mrs. Mommy, Rachel, and Bambi rode in the canoe, and the boys rode in the kayaks. The river thingie we rode on was only like 3 foot deep or something. We went out to a small little island and ate Subway that we had bought before. Me and rachel took the kayaks a lil ways out and drifted like a lot lol. I put my turtle silly band on my leg so i would tan around it and theres the faintest lil white spot where one of the turtles feet goes :P So I gotta keep working on it. Since we had drifted out so far, it took what seemed like a long time to get back to the lil island, and it hurt pretty bad lol.

The land to the right is part of the little island we stopped at

Rachel and me :)

Bambi aka Bambers :)

When we got back to the little island, we kinda just hung out, and we saw groups of fishies jump out of the water and it was SO cool!! I wish I got pictures. And then when me and rachel got back in the canoe, and Mrs. Mommy was out of it, pushing us off, I saw a small shark about 7-10ft away from us coming towards us! I was like, "Look! A shark!" in a way like "oh, that's cool" and not in a scary way lol, then Mrs. Mommy saw it and freaked out and jumped in the boat, haha. But it swam away. It was really cool! Wish I got pictures :(

When we got home, we tooks a shower then went to church. Mr. Daddy teaches the youth, and I really liked his preaching and his sermon :) After, we had YUMMY cookies :D

Then today, me, Rachel, Mrs. Mommy, Mr. Daddy, Lil Bro, Liler Bro, and rachels aunt and uncle all went boatin. Rachel's fam has a tube called Big Bertha and that was a lot of fun! Rachel's uncle fell off. He was going like really fast, lol. Then when Mrs. Mommy and rachel's aunt went, they kinda fell off after Mr. Daddy stopped the boat because the tube had lost a lot of air. Then the second time me and Rachel rode, when we stopped, I kinda pushed her in the water, then I went in too.

Rachel and me on Big Bertha :)

Gettin stuff off the boat!

Then wesa went home and went to Rachel's room. Rachel was tired so she kinda dozed off on the bed. I just sat there and looked at her brothers yearbook. Then pizza arrived!! And I ate that and watched Sky High, then me and rachel went back to her room (where I is right now) and watched a lot of hilarious youtube videos :) mostly Ed Bassmaster's vids. He's soooooo funny.

Well, that's about it so, until next time!

Saturday, me and rachel spent like all day painting our nails haha. Then Sunday, me and Rachel watched/teached the preschool kids at church, then wesa went home and rode our bikes to the park and took a few pictures.

Then we came back and watched Elf until Rachel's aunt and uncle came and then soon after we went to bed lol.

Then Monday (yesterday), we went to da beach! First beach we went to was mostly just rocks, so we didn't swim, but took a few pictures.

Then we went to a beach we could actually swim at and that was a lot of fun. We saw a hot surfer dude :P then he totally wiped out haha. Here are pics from that beach.

Wow. I haven't posted on here since like.. March lol. Well instead of catching up on things, I'm in Florida right now!!

I'm sitting on Rachel's bathroom floor, doin junk on the computer while Rachel paints my toenails pink :) The day before yesterday, me and Luke flew in and got here around 11 or so. Me and Rachel stayed up till like almost 4am lol. Then the next day I unwillingly woke up at around 10 to the smoke alarm going off... darn u batteries.

Rachel's friend Alena and her lil sis were over here and we went to the pool and then to the beach which was fun. Alena is funny :P Oh yeah, we also took Rachel's other friend Anna to the beach too. It was a lot of fun, minus the sea water that went in my mouth or nose lol. We climbed on the rocks some, and we found this awesome spot that looked like a rubber ducky! Check it out:

Then today, me and rachel went to Wally World, and I bought:

And some Toy Story 3 silly bandz that I ended up not likeing so I gave them to Rachel's little brothers :P I have three silly bandz (thats all i want lol). A turtle, Dinosaur, and an 'S'. As seen in the picture, I bought a Spiderman electric toothbrush even though i just got two new toothbrushes recently :P It was just really cute and rachel got a pooh bear one.

Oh yeah, and yesterday evening, Luke and Rachel's brother, Zack, went to Europe! Here's a few pictures of them as they were leaving the house:

Two tourists going to Europe: A tennessee redneck and a florida fisherman haha. Zack didn't really wear the hat tho :P

Last night, me, Rachel, and Anna watched Pirates of the Caribbean (mine and Anna's first time watching it) and I really liked it! It was funny :P I love Captain Jack Sparrow lol. He's hilarious. Tonight, we're watching Up :) I love that movie and I can't wait! And then later sometime wesa gonna watch the other POC's. Tomorrow at church, me and Rachel are watching or teaching (or something) the preschoolers. Yup. Until later, bye!!

WINTER JAM!!!! Oh yeah!

Oh, I just noticed this is my 201st post. Well that's not what I'm posting about. Tonight was... WINTER JAM! Oh yeah! It rocked :)  Me and my youth group went together and had so much fun! The bands there (that I remember) were: Fireflight, Newsboys, Third Day, New Song, Tenth Avenue North :D, and one or two others I don't remember. TAN was my fav, then Third Day.

So he got on Nivek's (not real name :P) back and pretending like he was in a car and the women came out with his blast, and it was so funny! I got it on video, I  might put it on here later. But she didn't know what to think, and Jon had the most serious look on his face through the whole thing while everyone else was laugh. :P well heres a picture (before the waitress came out)

TTYL!

Until next time, my friends!

Heyy

Hey!
  I don't really have much to post, but I feel like posting...
  So the zoo around where I live is having a photo contest! It has to be pictures that I took from their zoo, so these are the two pictures I picked out and I'm going to enter!

I love those pictures :)  The prize is a zoo membership, a gift shop gift card and... something else i don't remember.. It doesn't really matter to me if I win or loose, but it will be fun :) Oh yeah, the other prize is a zoo calendar. Cuz I think they're gonna make a calendar out of the winner's pictures or something. The contest doesn't even start until April, but I'm planning ahead.

I just posted that Polar Bear picture and two more from the zoo on my picture blog if you wanna see. The link is on the sidebar, or you can go here: http://agomqpictures.blogspot.com/

I also just posted a cool short essay my friend and I wrote. You can check that out here: http://writings-tcg.blogspot.com/

Tuesday, in English class, we watched a very sad, but good, movie about the holocaust (based on a fictional book) called The Boy In The Striped Pajamas. It's a good movie, but a VERY SAD ENDING!! Just a heads up if you decide to watch it. Oh, and it's not very realistic, because it shows this 8 year old boy in a concentration camp, when in real life, kids didn't go to concentration camps. The German's just sent them to the gas chambers... and there's some other stuff but whatever.

Im'a go now, ttyl!

Until next time, my friends!

Foster Puppies!!!!

Guess what??? Our parents finally let us get another foster dog!!! Remember when I told you the animal shelter had a sickly momma dog with 8 pups? Well, the momma's not doing so well, so the animal shelter peeps have asked people to foster some puppies (2 in each home to keep them together). We got two on Sunday (the 24th) and they were 4 weeks to the day. That means they were born on Christmas Eve!! How cute. They're really too young to be taken from their momma, but the momma cant keep nursing and taking care of 8 puppies.

Sunday, me, mom, and my friend went to the shelter and picked out two wittle puppies (both females). Their names are Brynn (the white one) and Shelli (the black one). Not the best names... but whatever. I didn't name them. Here are some pictures for you guys. BTW, they ain't that great cuz my camera really sucks, lol. but here ya go:

Until next time, my friends!

New Puppies!!

Guess what?? The local animal shelter just got a new dog (Darby) that was very pregnant, and on December 27th, Darby gave birth to TWELVE puppies!! Unfortunately, four of the puppies died :( But there's still eight left, and Darby is sickly. The shelter has asked people if they can to come and bottle feed the puppies every four hours. But whoever does that has to be 16 or older, and I'm only 15 :(

But, they said they will definitely need lots of foster homes for them once they're weaned, so that will be around February 11th, and mom said we can foster one!! EEP!! I can NOT(!!) wait!! I'll get to train it, get it used to people and i absolutely LOVE(!!) doing that!! I love training dogs, it's SOOO much fun for me!!!! I feel really accomplished when they learn something :)

That's why I love the pet-sitting job I have twice a week. My neighbor, Mrs. Diane, got a little puppy named Lily a while back, and she's SO cute! She asked me to come and watch her and help train her for an hour on Tuesdays and Fridays, while she can go upstairs and do whatever, and not have to worry/watch about Lily. It's a lot of fun! I also get paid $7 an hour, so $14 a week which ain't bad for me, lol. I've taught Lily to lay down, shake, go lay down (in her bed), and roll over. Mrs. Diane already taught her to sit. I wanna teach her more things, but I can't think of any... Got any ideas?? I really need some!

Anyways, Here are two pictures of Darby and her puppies when they were a day old. For the record, I did NOT take these pictures. These came off of the shelter website.


















































Until next time, my friends!
