Gearing up for School


Tommorrow is the first day going back to school and i can not wait. I will be going into the eighth grade. It is really amazing to me that summer can fly by so quickly. I still feel like we got out of school a week ago. This summer was great but it still went to fast; i went on many fun and exciting vacations where i did many interesting things. We also went to the beach a lot in the beginning, that was also very fun. I love to boogie board and play in the water. As i gather all of the things i will need for my first day i really hope that this is a good year for me because it is my last year before i graduate and move onto highschool. I can not wait to go back and see all of my friends that i have not seen since the last school year.

Going to massachusetts


After my trip to canada my aunt wendy and aunt sue brought my sister and i to Gloucester, MA. The first day after a long 5 hour ride to get to Gloucester we went to dinner at a place recommended by the hotel called Capt. Carlo's; it was not the greatest of places to eat. The next day which was Friday we went to Salem, MA which was very fun and I would so go back there again. On Saturday we got up early to go whale watching which was one of the most amazing things i have ever seen. We saw about a dozen whales including humpbacks and minkes. After whale watching we went to Rockport which is a little upbeat town that has a lot of shopping and sightseeing. The last day Sunday we got up early again to head to Mystic, Connecticut. In Mystic we went to the Mystic Aquarium and the Mystic Seaport; it was a little boring but we still went. I would like to thank Aunt Sue and Aunt Wendy for taking me on this wonderful adventure.

A Bad Ending to a Great Vacation

Two weeks ago my grandma had brought me and my sister jill to Banff, Canada and what an amazing place to go for a vacation. We had a great time horseback riding, whitewater rafting, canoeing, shopping, hiking, and walking on glaciers. We had so much fun doing all these activities in the mountains until...The last day of our vacation my grandma went to get our boarding passes across the street. She then took a picture of the hotel but when she stepped back she tripped on the curb and broke her hip. We brought her to the hospital and and my sister and i walked back and forth from the hotel to hospital lugging luggage to her. She was taken to a hospital in calgary where we were left alone to fly home together with eight dollars left in our wallets; it was like an episode of survivor. She is now coming home after spending another week in canada. And what a week!!!
