Day at the Beach

On Sunday (Valentine's Day), we went to the beach in Pacifica with Eleven, Zinnia, Emily, and Justin. Eleven and I found a sand crab in a hole and I made a firepit which we filled with stuff from the beach but we didn't get to light a fire in it. We mainly put seaweed and driftwood in it. I got trolled by a big wave. We tried using my new skimboard but it didn't work too well. We need more practice. Afterward, they all came over to our house. We played together a lot. When it was time for Eleven to go home, I tried to stop her from leaving. I tried to hide her in my room. I tried to make it so she was the last one to go out the door so then I could close it before she left and lock the door and hide the key in my stomach so she would have to stay. None of the above worked so I walked her to her car and waved good-bye as she left with her family. Thankfully, she'll be back this weekend for Nicholas's birthday party.

12:1 The Knight at Dawn by Mary Pope Osborne

This is the 2nd book in the Magic Tree House Series. Jack and Annie are the main characters in the books. They discovered a magic treehouse that can go back in time but they still don't know who the owner of the magic treehouse is or why it was in the woods behind their house. I liked it because there was a lot of knights in it and a lot of action. There was a lot of people going after Annie and Jack. They escaped and a knight helped get them back to their treehouse.

Long Time, No Blog

I haven't been around for the last 3mos because my stupid math has been taking me forever to get done (my mom says it would take less time if I sat down and did it but she's wrong). So here are the highlights of the last couple of months in my life:

• I had a couple of sleepovers with my girlfriend, Eleven. One night we even made a fort under the dining room table and slept there.
  
• My soccer team won our regional division and we went to the area tournament in Dec.
• I got my Black-Brown belt in Kuk Sool Won.
• I went and competed at the regional Kuk Sool Won tournament.
• I went to the King Tut exhibit.
• My cousins came for a couple of visits and once Eleven slept over too.
• We went to Legoland.
• We stayed at my great-grandparents cabin in Pine Valley for Christmas and there was snow on the ground!
• I got my orange ribbon in swim class.

My mom says that I need to get in the habit of blogging more often so I'll be back again tomorrow.
