So Tired

This morning I got up to go to DBP(Dragon Boat Practice) at 9:30. DBP went well, But now I'm ready for a nap. Next week looks busy. I have swimming, DBP, and a swim meet, plus a play that my friend wants me to go to because he is in it. I'm so busy!!! And I'm so tired!!!

This Week

The winner from last post is football player(I think. Your comments had me stumped).
This week has been a busy one. It started off with swim team(Splash). I was happy to find my friend, Mary (her  name has been changed. I didn't ask permission to use her name on my blog) had surprised me by joining Splash. Yay!! More friends!! I also meet a girl on the Westveiw high school swim team and also joined Splash this session. On Tuesday I started Dragon Boat Racing. I'm a little sore from that. It was fun. I had a good time learning how to row. Tonight its back in the pool!

I thought this was cute.

Question #1

I've decided to come up with some questions which I shall discuss with myself on this blog. Just random everyday thoughts that pop into my head. Todays question, the first ever, is as follows: Who is stronger, a football player, or a cook. I say a cook. A cook has to lift heavy pots and pans, boxes of potatoes and carrots, and lift platters of meat out to hungry diners everyday. Not to mention holding a pot in one hand filed with sauce and poring it out while the other hand is busy pulling a huge pan of cookies out of the oven! All a football player has to do is tackle some other football player. What kind of a workout is that?! If I wanted to get a good workout, I would cook. Not only would I get my heart rate up, I might have had something nice and tasty to munch on afterwards. As you can see, the past two days have been uneventful. If I'm contemplating how a football player gets less of a work out than a cook, then you know I've had way too much time on my hands. So, anyone hungary?? Have a Happy Easter.

P.S. Feel free to comment on this question and give your opinion. I shall announce the winner (cook or football player) of the 'debate' on my next post.

Snowmobiling

For those of you who don't know what this activity involves, snowmobiling is where you drive around on a snowmobile (hence the name snowmobiling). Another way to look at it is a motorized sled. So, today, at 10:00, My uncle and I drove out to Salt Creek Summit with two snowmobiles. We meet up with our friends, John and Becky. All four of us zipped around on the hill side for our test run.  My snowmobile made a putting sound, so we all dashed back to the parking lot, where we fixed everything up. Then we took of and zoomed around. Up the hillside we went, and back down.

All ready to go

My uncle and I

vroom vroom!!

 At 1:00, we packed up and headed home. When I arrived, I found that Madre and Oma had made Banana Cream pie, and Lemon Meringue pie.

lazy day

Today was another lazy day. I went to my Oma's writing analysis class. I learned a little about how to interpret someone's personality. Then I went and feed some horses with my uncle and his friend, John. I forgot to take my camera, otherwise there would be some photos. For dinner I had lamb and mashed potatoes. yummy!! I forgot to brag about my finished squid!! Here are some photos:

I still haven't figured out a good name.

First Half of Spring Break

So Spring break has started. Finally. On Sunday my uncle took me squirrel hunting. I shot quite a few squirrels, but your not supposed to retrieve them. Killing the squirrels helps the birds of prey to find food. Yesterday we lounged around and played cards. "Madre" also finished a vest for me. Today we've done some spring cleaning, and we  were able to give away some of my old toys. We also had lunch with some of Oma's friends.
Here is something funny to counterbalance your sorrows.

This looks like something I would do.

This will always work. 

Who needs an instruction manual, when we have duck tape!

This week

This week has been so busy. I finally get to take a break. Spring Break. On Thursday my 'Madre' planing to only take her friend to a curling lesson, dragged me alone as well. We had so much fun with that experience. You can read her blog for more detail. Today after I got picked up from school, and we headed off to our annual vacation and Oma and Papa's (my grandparents) in Joseph (Eastern Oregon). At one of our pit stops we found our car had a face!

He has a mustache!!

We are now save at their house. I now get to spend a week in this peaceful country.
