Great Wolf Lodge

On the weekend we went to, and stayed overnight at, Great Wolf Lodge. It is a water park. There are two water parks in it. There was a ride called Wolf Tail, where you got in a small chamber and the floor opened up underneath you. It was six stories high, and I didn’t go on it.  There was The Tornado, which is a tube ride, where you go down a tunnel into a big sideways funnel. There was also some other tube slides and body slides. They also had a wave pool and a hot tub which you could go outside in.

The Flea Market

Today we went to the flea market. There were two things I wanted, but I only had 8 dollars. I wanted a laser tag kit, and a carving knife. I ended up getting the carving knife.

Archery Lesson

On Wednesday I took a private archery lesson. It was fun, and I only missed the target once and it wasn’t on my first shot. I almost hit bullseye a couple of times, and Susanna hit it once, but it was pure luck because she couldn’t get close any other times.

We were going to eat at Chili’s but Susanna plugged the wrong destination into it, and we had to eat at a place across from the archery range. We got pizza there and it was amazing.

This was a present from Susanna. Thank you Susanna!

painting hummingbird

Today we (Ann Marie [she’s Susanna’s friend from work], Susanna, Dad, Ben, and I) made a painting of a humming bird. First we painted the background with the opposite of the color of the color of the painting. Then we colored over it withe the normal color. We used our fingers to make the top layer.

More Snow

Today we got more snow. It is really annoying, and I am sick of snow. I already had to shovel and i probably will have to again. Targa likes this the snow so he enjoys this, Tucker on the other hand hates it.

Snowy Sunday

This morning I played on Minecraft. I mined a lot. I got a lot of Redstone. I wanted to make a dispenser with it, but I need a bow, which I don’t have. I made a really long mine and it didn’t even use up one of my iron pickaxes. That was because my pickaxes were enchanted.

After lunch, we went sledding. We sledded down the hill on the field. At first we didn’t go very far up. Then we went farther up. I went high, and couldn’t make it to the bottom without falling off. It was really fast, so i would fall off when I had to go around a certain turn. Though I could make it to the bottom from a place closer to the end. I made snowballs, and threw some at dad. Though he chickened out on an all out snowball fight.

Snow day

Yesterday we got snow. Lots of it. More than 20 inches. It was so deep, when we went to Justin’s hose through the field, it was past my knees the whole time. We had a snowball fight, though we didn’t use snowballs, just chunks of snow we found, because the snow was too powdery.

We also spent some time on Minecraft. I made some cool things in my house. I made a fridge, and an armory. I also claimed a house in a village and modified it a lot.

The illusionists

Last Sunday we saw the illusionists. It was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! No magic show I ever see will be better than that. “How did they do it?” Was what we were thinking the whole time. I don’t have any pictures, but if I did, you’d see them.
