Holiday World and Splashin Safari

On Sunday I went to Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana like I do every year. This year I rode the Voyage and it was amazing!!!!!!!! If you have never rode the Voyage before on your next trip to Holiday World you should definitely ride it. I'm pretty sure we rode all of the water slides that are there. We also rode really fun things like the Liberty Launch, the Raven, and the Revolution. Holiday World isn't the best theme park I have ever been to but, every time I go my whole family has a blast. If you have never been to Holiday World before then I am telling you, you should go as soon as you can.

Kingdom Hearts

Kingdom Hearts is a game that is like a mix between Final Fantasy characters and Disney characters. In the beginning of Kingdom Hearts one and two there is a little clip that has songs sung by Utada Hikaru called Simple and Clean and Sanctuary. If you want to listen to Simple and Clean click on the video right above this post and if you want to listen to Sanctuary go to youtube.com and type in kingdom hearts 2 Sanctuary (opening English). I hope you like the songs. There is a new kingdom hearts game for Nintendo d s called: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days. There are no stores currently carrying this item because it is not coming out until September 29th and you should really buy it if you own a Nintendo d s. If not then you should probably buy one if you want to play the game.

6th Grade

I will be starting the 6th grade on August 24th. We just finished school supply shopping a couple days ago. We ended the shopping with going to the mall and buying a blue aeropostale backpack. I'm really exited about the sixth grade. I want to know what teacher I get and if my friends are in my homeroom. One of my favorite things about school is switching classes, because you have different people in your class than in the class before. Plus if you don't like a teacher, that is fine because you aren't with them the whole day. Although we only started switching classes last year, I really enjoy doing it now. I hope you like school as much as I do.

Softball

I really like to play softball especially when my friends are on my team. Sometimes I get really competitive . Though some people say it doesn't matter if you win or lose it just matters if you try your hardest and have fun, everybody knows it's a lot more fun if you win. Our last game got rained out and we had to stop the game before that because it was lightning. I was kind of mad because we were losing, but we were catching up. The score was 9 to 6, it was the bottom of the 2nd inning, our team had no outs, I was about to hit, and the game had already lasted a whole hour. We are going to finish that game soon, but I am not sure when. We have another game tonight at 6, and I am kind of worried because the team we are playing tonight beat us last time we played them. We will try our hardest though, and hopefully we will beat them tonight.

Summer

Summer break started on the third. I am glad because I can stay up late, but not too late. I can't stay up to late because I have to wake up early for things like Mulan rehearsal, basketball camp, and softball practice/games. I am daughter in the Mulan play for pyramid players. The play will be on June 25th at 7:30, the 27th at 7:30, and the 28th at 2:00 p.m. At our school we are doing a basketball camp to get ready for the basketball team next year. It's only for girls going into 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Softball games are really fun, but I hate it when we lose. Tonight I have a game at 8 p.m. It will probably last until 10:30, because it usually does. Even though I have to get up early sometimes, I love the summer.

spring break

I know it has been awhile but a couple of weeks ago during spring break we headed to Memphis. In Memphis we went to the Memphis zoo and then went to eat dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. Then we went to our hotel in Arkansas to get some sleep. The next morning we went to Graceland (Graceland is the name of Elvis' house). It was really cool in one room there was fabric on the couches, walls, and ceilings. In another room he had a 15 foot couch. After that we went to Mississippi to a museum and to dinner at the Hollywood 50's diner. Then again we went to sleep at the hotel. In the morning we headed home. On the way home we stopped one last time in Missouri to eat at Lambert's Cafe. Overall, I think it was a pretty good trip.

April Fool's Day

[Glitterfy.com - *Glitter Words*]

Here is something I read about how April Fool's Day was started ."More than any other day of the year, April 1 is the day for pranks, jokes, and foolish acts. A joke may be telling a person there is a hole in his sock or a smudge on her nose. As the victim looks for it, the trickster laughs and shouts "April Fool!" No one knows for sure how April Fool's Day started. The most common belief is that it began in France in the early 1500s. At that time, people observed New Year's Day on March 25. Celebrations lasted for a week, ending on April 1. On the last day of the celebration, people sent each other gifts or invited them to parties. Then in 1564, King Charles IX decided that New Year's Day should be January 1. Many people did not want to change to the new date they continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. Others thought these people were foolish or old-fashioned. They sent the foolish ones silly gifts or phony invitations to parties that never took place. The jokers thought this was great fun. They continued to play tricks on people on April 1, even after everyone in chance had changed to the New Year's date. As other countries switched to New Year's Day from April 1 to January 1, they, too, took up the custom of April fooling. April Fool's Day has been an American tradition from the time the first colonists came to settle in the New World. Though not a legal holiday, it's a special day when many people plan silly pranks and try to fool their friends."
