Over the summer me and my family went to Mammoth L ,California to visit my great grandpa Herb at his cabin.I love going up there because it is beautiful and calm,and quit(all tho it is mostly considering that it snows over 600 inches and more each year.) But the biggest reason is my great grandpa Herb.I love listening to his stories ,and helping clean the cabin.This year we went to Virginia creek to fish.I LOVE fishing with my grandpa . It was so much fun that I didn’t realize that I had all ready caught my limit . I can’t wait to go up there next summer.

Yesterday me, my dad and my brother were driving to the First Light Bank when I saw 2 boys walking behind a storage container, behind Southern Maid Donuts. When I looked back, I saw the tall one pull something out of his backpack. A couple minutes later I realized that it was SPRAY PAINT. I soon gasped in shock at the sight of it.

As my dad hollered ”WHAT, WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!” All I could think to do was point at them. When he saw what I was pointing to he picked up his phone and called 1 of the secretaries at the DPS. She transfered him to the PD. On our way home we saw the PD officer driving the wrong way. My dad directed him in the right way, and he was off. I’m happy that I told my dad.

I am so excited because tomorrow me and five other Girl Scouts are going on a camping trip at Camp Pioneer. We are leaving at 12:00. When we get there we will do a couple of crafts then when it gets to dinner time we are going to roast hot dogs with baked beans and chips. Afterward we’re going to make smores. After we will go to sleep. When we wake up in the morning we are going to have a jimmy dean skillet with a banana and orange juice. I hope that it doesn’t end to quickly.

I was born at a local Hospital in October. One week after I was born my Dad dropped me by accident. It all started when I wouldn’t let my parents put me down. My mom wanted to brush her teeth so she asked my sleeping dad if he would hold me. He murmured sleepily, “Yah!, sure!” So she she slowly placed my sleeping body in his arm.  My mom had no idea how tired he actually was! As she started to brush her teeth she heard a “THUD!” She ran out of the bathroom to see me on the floor.

As she scolded my dad, I sat on the bed wondering what had just happened. A week after that, I ended up in the emergency room with a 102% fever. That fall evening, my mom was sitting in the rocking chair holding me. ” Hmm!” she said as she felt my forehead. “You feel warm!” So she called the doctor. When she took it with a different thermometer it said 102. So they rushed me to the hospital! When they finally took us to a room they told my mom to wait outside while they ran tests on me. In the end they decided to admit me so they could make sure it wasn’t meningitis. We finally we went home.

Right now I am 10 years old and in the 5th grade. I like to do Ballet and Girl Scouts as hobbies. In my family I have my mom who is a teacher, my dad who is a state trooper, my brother Christopher who is 7 years old (and obviously doesn’t have a job ), but is in the 2nd grade and does Karate, 2 hermit crabs. Shamu is Christopher’s and spike who happens to be mine, 2 fire bellied toads named King Ribbit and Roo, 1 beta fish named Baloo, and 8 turtles…Strawberry, Mississippi…(Wow! This is a lot of turtles!)…Sunshine, Snoopy, Mothra, Skippy, California, and Blueberry.

Some things that infuriate me are being called names, and being brought into things and getting in trouble when I didn’t do anything.
