Some...uh...bad news

Well of course I have to start from the beginning so you will know the whole story. One day our family was happily sitting in our family room to watch a T.V. show. We hear a knock on the window. Hmmmm. Who was the only one outside? Well it was my brother, Brahms. He was bringing his turtles into the garage where there is a tank for the turtles. We went outside to see what happened. The thing was ,Bob,(Short for Beethoven)was gone. We looked around for him. My mom found him. His mouth was full of bark and ... um his legs were gone. So was his tail. We brought him inside while my brother brought in Chuck,(short for Chekhov, a famous writer)in the garage. Bob moved a little bit with what he had left of his legs. Of course the bark came out of his mouth. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, he was fine, but on Thursday, his head was down and he looked sick. A couple hours after my brother came back from school, his head was stiff and his eyes were closed, he was dead. We put him in a club crackers box and put a little note on it that said, "Bob- He was a good turtle". I quickly got some scissors and went to go pick roses so my brother could put them where he was buried. He did not take them. He was too sad. Bob was his turtle. I put the flowers on instead. Then my sister came home saying " Where is Bob?"

Which Country will Survive?

Have you ever wondered if you will survive global warming with the strong winds? If you are one of those people, you need to watch this. They experimented on who will die out first with the inability to eat. They represented the winds with a super power leaf blower. Go ahead and watch it. Who knows? You might still have time to change your nationality. T-T-F-N!


Apple Hill

Apple Hill if no one has noticed is very fun. They sell very yummy pies. My favorite is the walking pie. Of coarse it does not walk with legs around! You are supposed to walk with it, except with the apple cider sauce, I think. It is too messy. My brother and sister love it. I love their caramel apples too. The gooey caramel. I can taste it right now. Too bad my brother and sister cannot eat it. They have braces. One day I will have braces. Boo! Well I love their pumpkins too. I got one when we went on a field trip. That is all. T-T-F-N.

Echo and Narcissus

Narcissus was so handsome that every girl loved him. Now Echo was one of the nymphs that Pan fell in love with. Echo followed Narcissus whenever he went hunting. When Narcissus came to a quiet pool he bent over to drink when suddenly he stopped and stared at his reflection. He smiled at the face he saw. He said to his reflection,"I love you". He sat there forgeting to eat or drink until he turned into a flower that looks down at the water. It is called the Narcissus flower. That is bad. Too bad for him.

My Travel to ... (Belize 2007)

In these posts they will talk about travels that me and my family have made. This first one is for the first time I've been to Belize in 2007. The airplane ride was not too long for Belize is only in Central America. When we went there we were on a missions trip. The host's name is Mr. Richard. He drives a bis bus around to carry the missions team. The food was strange. Some stuff like fried banana was good. Once we are done with our work on some days, we get to go down to a nearby river and go swimming. It is always fun. We also got to go snorkeling and cave tubing. The cave tubing at parts is scary, but for me only the cave is scary. When we got out into the light the water was fast. You don't have to direct yourself, just put your hands in the air. About the snorkeling. It was fun. We went to the second largest coral reef in the world! I got to pet a sea turtle, a manta ray, and a shark. It was too much fun. I hope I can go to Belize again.
