Adventures

So after I had gone to String Camp, I had to take a visit to my grandparents because I had sailing camp. It was so much fun! It was on an island, so every camper has to take a boat out to the island and back to the mainland from the island, so I had sea legs every day. It was awesome! (sea legs is wen you still feel like you're on a boat.)!

I couldn't write from my grandparents house anyway because 1) The power went out because of a thunderstorm and 2) I couldn't blog because I don't know the password anyway, dad does.

So after I went to sailing camp, I went down to Virginia Beach to visit my aunt and uncle. Unfortunately, the famous restaurant named The Purple Cow has closed, so we couldn't go there, but we went to some other places called Eat (this was good) and Catch 31 (which I didn't like).

Ivy and I got these really awesome tattoos called Henna Tattoos. I got a very detailed dolphin and Ivy got (surprise!) the jump man logo. It's a Michael Jordan thing. Ivy and mom went into the Nightmare Mansion and they said it was to dark that they couldn't see where they were going and that there were mirrors everywhere and it was eerie.

The actual boardwalk itself is 3.5 miles long, so biking there and back (which I did with my uncle and Ivy) would be seven miles. When we did that, it took about twenty minutes to get to the actual end of the boardwalk. That was so hard because we were heading into the wind, so we had to use extra force.

Riding back from the boardwalk was practically ten times easier! The wind was helping us glide along, so we didn't have to pedal long distances, which was good because w had lost most of our energy biking to the end.

The Boardwalk:

That is where I biked!

So we saw tons and tons of oil barges and cargo ships out on the edge of the horizon. That was cool. And we went to the beach every night and we took my aunt's tiny dog to the beach with a glow stick.

One morning, mom Ivy and I went to the beach for an early swim, and we saw probably 20 dolphins everywhere. Mom wasn't looking but Ivy and I both witnessed a dolphin that leaped out of the water in a big arc. Then we saw to more dolphins jump out together. They were playing.

Now I am up in Maine and I am going home tonight. I have been finishing up my math packet and I only have three pages of FRACTIONS left. Grrr.

Here a picture of Zeiss with another german shepherd named Iris. They are from the same breeder, but they have different parents.

I'm in the blue shorts.

Tomorrow I have to go buy cleats and shin guards for soccer. Then we have to buy school supplies and new clothes for the fall.
