Sleep Away Camp

Dear Readers,
I went to a camp in August, not a sailing camp, but a water-sports camp. I stayed there for a week, but the hurricane (For those of you who do not know about our recent hurricane, the East Coast had a hurricane, Hurricane Irene) came in the middle of camp, and split our week in half.  :-(  Camp was still fun, but we had to stay the weekend at our house.
Things that we did at camp:

• Sail
• Water Ski
• Knee board (I had the time of my life!)
• Go on a huge zipline
• Climb up a rock wall
• Sleep in a cabin

I had a lot of fun, but I probably won't go back in 2012, sadly.
Post Soon!

Sailing Camp!

(This was meant to be posted on the sixth. Sorry!)

This week I had sailing camp! It was a lot of fun, and I'm glad I'm going back next week! (I'm already planning how to pay for next summer! ;-) So, that week was Harry Potter week, and we were split into the houses. I was in Gryffindor (Sunfish), and my sisters were in Hufflepuff (Opti). There was another group, Slythenclaw! there wasn't enough people to make the other two houses, so they combined it! They are the Lasers.
Here's what we learned in my group:

• We learned how to rig (set up) a Sunfish, and to de-rig it (take apart.)
• Rules of the Road (or River!)
  The Right-away
  Leeward and Windward
• We had a capsize drill, and I'm glad that we had it!

On Wednesday, there was no wind, so we had contests. We were split into groups, and we had little races.

Movie Reviews

Movie Review Number One:

Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer

THIS movie is really funny and made me laugh more than two times. Judy makes a plan to have the best summer ever with her friends. But two of her best friends go away, leaving her to do the plan with her third friend, and her Aunt Opal. I recommend seeing this movie. 

Movie Review Number Two:

Rio

RIO is a great movie for families. It's about a bird who is taken from the jungle, abandoned in Minnesota during winter. A little girl finds him and promises to take care of him. She names him Blu. Then, when they are grown up, a man finds Blu and wants to bring him to a special place where he wants Blu to mate with a female, Jewel, to save their species. The movie brings on a crazy journey, and it is up to Jewel and Blu to decide their fate! I recommend seeing this movie also!

Sorry. . .

Sorry. . . I haven't gotten around to posting those pictures, and now we have finished ALL of the Quests! I'll post some things that are not PQ, and when I get the pictures, I'll post the pictures.

Sorry So Late!
