Day 12

Today was leaving day. I don`t like to talk about it too much because it lasted from 7:00 A.M to 10:00 P.M. Thats the breaks of living in Regina. We went to Toronto for 5 hours and then straight to Regina. When I got home I had a well deserved rest .

Day 11

Today was a great last day. We went to my 2nd fav park Universal Studios. We stayed the longest we have ever stayed at a park. It was from 9:00 A.M to 6:00 P.M. I loved the rides, but it was mostly motion simulators like The Simpson ride and Disaster. Then there was a great roller coaster called The Mummy. After that we went to Fear Factor Live and watched Fear Factor. Then we went to a musical starring, yes, Beetle Juice. After that was done we went on a shooting ride where you got to shoot aliens. Then we checked out and went to the hotel in the airport. I had a hard time sleeping knowing the next day would be a long one.

Day 10

Today was awesome. I started a new book on the drive so I wouldn't get bored but we went to the one, the only, Seaworld! We watched three shows at 11:00, 12:00, and 1:00. The first one was with seals and it was called Fun With Clyde and Seymore. The next one was Blue Horizins with Dolphins. But we saved the best for last. We watched Believe with Shamu. I even got to feed the Stingrays. All you do is put your hand under there mouth with food and they'll suck the food right up. I also went on a water ride called Trip to Atlantis. Then we went to T.G.I fridays for supper. After that we went minigolfing and I won. That was my 2nd last day.

Day 9

Today was a great day. We went to Tampa Bay again. But this time for the rides. Today we went to the park with the most rollercoasters, Busch Gardens. First we saw a cool show with animals swooping in and doing all this crazy stuff. After that we went on the extreme Sheikra. It has a 200ft drop at a 90 degree angle. After that we went to our aunties hotel and had supper at the buffet. WE slept there over night and stayed up till 1:00am. I was very tired the next morning. Oh and I almost forgot, we saw gorillas and tigers.

Day 8

Today was the best yet. We went to my favorite park called Islands of Adventure. It is big. There was a great motion simulator ride called Spider-Man. Then their was an amazing drop ride called Drop of Doom. That one made my stomach go crazy. After that we had a well deserverd nap for 2 hours. Then at night we went to the giant theatre to see Twilight the movie. That was an awesome movie. Then we went to supper at Red Lobster. They have the best clam chowder soup. After that great meal it was hard not to fall asleep.

Day 7

Today was a great day. In the morning we were probally the most excited people alive. Except for my mom. We were excited because we got to go to an NFL game live. It was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers v.s the New Orleans Saints. On the ride there I finally finished Eclipse. It was the funnest time of my life. It was intense, but in the last seconds Tampa Bay won 23-20. After that we went back to Florida to check in to our new hotel. It was a long ride without a book though. At our new hotel we went swimming. Then the most surprising thing happened. My auntie and uncle came. It was so awesome. We talked with them. Then I played with my uncles Ipod Touch. It was so awesome. That was what I called a jolting day cause from there was so excited.

Day 6

Today was a sweet day. In the morning we went to Animal Kingdom. First we went on a sweet safari. We saw a rhino, giraffe, and a baby elephant. After that we went on the best wet ride ever called Ripsaw Falls. I was soaked to the bone. Then we went on a really awesome roller coaster called Expedition Everest. It was a ride of you touring the Himalayas. Backwards and forwards. It was also about the yeti. But it was mostly in the dark. Then we went to MGM at night. We went on the Tower Of Terror three times. That is my fav ride. Now that was my best day yet.

Day 5

Today was a pretty good day. In the morning we packed everything up and headed outlet shopping. I got a sweet new Puma backpack. I also got some awesome Puma shoes. But most of all, I got some new Football gloves. Then we went to Epcot at night. We went around the world. Just kidding, but they did have stations of country's like United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, Norway, Morrocco, Germany, Italy, USA, Japan, China, and France. We got something called a passport. Now with a passport, you go around the world and get two stamps on each page. I got every page stamped! After that we went to the 2nd best fireworks. They were beutiful. After a lond day it was finally good to rest.

Day 4

Today was an awesome day. We had tons of fun at the greatest water park, Blizzard Beach. I swear, it was a ghost town there. There were tons of water slides. There was one that you went down lanes on mats. I raced my brother, but he beat me. Then I went on a 100 foot waterslide but not straight down. It was called Crusher Gusher. Then I went on the extreme one caled Summit Plummit. It was a 120 foot waterslide straight down. After that I scraped my knee pretty bad that stopped me from going on any other waterslides. Then we went to Downtown Disney again. But this time we went to the Future Arcade. We built our own coaster but it was pretty tame. Then we went to the Blues Brother Restaurant. It was probally the best food we had all trip. Then it was off to the hotel to sleep.

Day 3

Today was the best day yet. The park was practically empty. We went to the Magic Kingdom. Now today we actually woke up early. Like 7:00 in the morning early. We got first dibs on the Thunder Railroad coaster and Space Mountain. But my favourite ride was Splash Mountain. I went on it six times.. Then we came back at about 3:00 and swam at our hotel pool. Then we went back to the Magic Kingdom at night. We rode Pirates of the Carribien. I could swear that was the most realistic ride in Disney. We ended the Day off with the greatest fireworks I have ever seenn.

Day 2

Today was a so-so day. First of we went to Epcot. We went on two of the most popular rides. Soarin, which is flying around the world on a hanglider. Then there was Test Track, which is you testing a car in the most extreme conditions. Both of those rides are in my top 5. After a long day, we were done and we went to Downtown Disney to shop. We had supper at the Rain Forest Cafe. The lights went off every 18 minutes and lights flashed so you thought it was a thunderstorm. Then we shopped a lot more going to a lego store. It had more lego than I could imagine. It was a great day all in all.

Day 1

Today was a great day. We went to MGM Studios. It had a lot of Hollywood action stuff. First we had breakfast by our hotel. We are staying at the Carribean Beach Resort. Then, we went to the park and had a great day. We saw a lot of movie sets and props. Later in the day we had supper at an Italian restaurant. That's where I spilled my drink. We went to a stunt show with cars called "Lights, Motors, Action." Boy they must go through a lot of tires because they were burning rubber like nobody's business. We ended the day with Fantasma, a musical show from Disney. Now that was a great first day.

Ballet

I went to a ballet that was great. My favourite part was when they all wore wigs from the 1700’s. It was my favourite part because they clashed the 1700’s with the 2000’s. I expected to see a little bit more spins and a lot more too-too’s. What I saw was a lot of creativity and sync between the dancers. I also saw that there is a lot of strength in there legs that takes a lot of training. I really liked when they sat on those benches because they sat on them but they still moved around. I also liked the blankets because they looked so graceful and full of life. I also liked the screen in the background because it really lit up the stage. I thought it was amazing that they could stand up on their toes so long. The only thing I think they could work on was that it was a bit messy. Other then that they used the whole stage and did a great job. I would give it 3 out of 4 stars.
That is my reflection on the ballet.

Cut and Paste Poem: Monster Mike

I'll punch a nose in a fight. The moon-bird helps in flight. We beg, we pray, with wonder. Asking for an end.

The Adoration of Magi

This story starts out in Jerusalem where there is a man named Lance. Lance is 42 years old and only getting older. He is starving and their city is really short on supplies. Lance really needs some food, but there is none in this village. Suddenly, he heard horses outside his stone house. He could hear the clanking and clonking of their hooves. He took a step outside of his stone house and there he saw her, the goddess of beauty.

When he looked up to see her, she was as beautiful as the horse she had ridden on. It was a wild breed of war horses. It was obvious that they had been to World War I and back. Lance had heard rumors that she was coming, but did not believe them. Probably because it was said by the towns fool. It was a beautiful sight, but as soon as he thought this she said loudly, “My people, God has sent me down to work miracles.” Suddenly, Lance felt a knot form in his stomach. He found out later that even though she was beautiful outside, inside she was as evil as satin himself.

There was a moment of silence before the goddess yelled, “Everyone has come out of their homes to see me, the goddess of beauty, but you can only get a miracle for a small fee.” As she continued he started feeling hungry. He tried to listen but he couldn’t because the hunger made him distracted. Now it was a ravenous hunger. Then he yelled, “I need FOOD!”

She looked at him weirdly like he was a frog that just talked and said, “Looks like we have our first taker, Lance.”

He didn’t know what came over him but there he was all eyes on him. How did she know his name? It’s not like she was magic. She burst out in laughter and said, “Oh don’t worry Lance, you may not think I know you. The thing is I do.” By now she was not laughing and was very serious. “See, your great uncle was once the owner of the whole world,” she said. Now since Lance didn’t know he had a great uncle he was happy to know he was an owner of the world. Or he used to be. Anyhow the queen got over it and said, “Well since your uncle took the throne from me I will give you nothing.” He thought about this and the situation was terrible. What was he to do?

He started to pray for food, or better yet a feast. Just as he thought this an angel came down and said, “Lance, you have been holy to me your whole life, please except this food offering.” Just like that, a giant feast just popped up in front of him. The angel continued, “As for you goddess I banish you from this land.” But she was already gone. The angel smiled as she disappeared.
