50 Blog Posts

This year my goal is to post fifty blog posts. I am going to post after every exciting thing we do this summer. I chose fifty blog posts as my goal because before Camp Ali, it was Camp Holly and between six of us we got over fifty posts and I'm going to try to beat it as one person. I am giving myself until the end of August. Three down, forty-seven to go! Wish me luck!

Art Festival

Today we went to the art festival. There were so many cool things! We saw a really awesome giant robot. There were at least 3 statues of the robot. On one he was walking with birds on his shoulders. Then on another he was sitting on a bench playing a guitar with birds surrounding him. Then on the last one he was almost completely buried withe the birds surrounding him again. Behind the buried robot was a big mural on a brick wall. The mural was a big old fashioned television and on the screen was a robot fighting a T-Rex! There were lots of really pretty pieces of art that were for sale. Some of the pieces were optical allusions and others were just abstract. There was on person who used tea cups and tea pots to make wind chimes. The person also bent forks and knives to male picture frames and necklaces. Another person made instruments out of drift wood and animal sculls. There was a lot of jewelry made from stones and diamonds and beads. I loved the oil landscape pictures that we saw. There were mountain ranges and hills. One man painted a grassy area with one big tree in the corner. There were a few different bands playing around the festival. One man was playing the saxophone on the corner of the street. There were lots of people and lots of sound. All of the music was really good. Dyson and Dalton got a dinosaur from a lady who made animals and planes/trains out of soda cans. They said the sprite dinosaur was a master piece. In fact they said all of her work were master pieces. My favorite piece of hers was a humming bird. She must have very careful hands to make such delicate pieces. I love going and looking at all of the art. While we were walking and we passed the man playing the saxophone I looked between the crowd of people and saw the shops and the saxophone player In my mind I saw a work of art. As soon as we got home I spent two hours working on my picture before I forgot my image. I finally finished and showed everyone, they loved it! Someday when I have made more paintings and sketches, I want to have my own stand there to sell my pictures.

Promise Girls

My friends Rachel and Lizzy are working in a group with me on our Girl Scout Silver Award for the next three years. Our group name is called Promise Girls. For our Silver Award we are going to volunteer at an orphanage. We will play and interact with the kids there. What we want to do is raise money to get the kids at the orphanage things they need and want. Our goal is to get each kid at least one gift they would really enjoy. We want them to know that they are loved and not forgotten. Some of the money we raise will go to helping them have a better lifestyle. For example we will help get food and drinks for everyone at the orphanage. The first few steps to this project are:

1. Rachel will do research and find an orphanage to volunteer in
2. Rachel will send me the contact information and I will get in touch with the orphanage
3. Lizzy will start organizing a fun activity to do with the kids over the summer

During this process we will all start to raise money for future plans.

My New Chrome Book

This Christmas was the best Christmas ever! It was the best Christmas ever because Grandpa and Dorothy gave me a Chrome Book! A Chrome Book is the same as a laptop but it is smaller and lighter. It can do all of the same things as a computer or laptop.My mom brought home a Chrome Book from her school for us to play with we liked it a lot. Patrick and I decided that we would like one. When we opened our presents we got better than we had hoped for! We each got one of our own! Thank you so much Grandpa and Dorothy! I love you so much! Also along with the Chrome Book, they got us a case to go with it! it is the best gift ever!

Harry Potter and the Scorers Stone

I am starting to do book reviews on different books that I have read. My first review is going to be on the first book in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
     Harry Potter is a boy who lives with his aunt Petunia, uncle Vernon, and cousin Dudley Dursley. They are very mean and disrespectful to him. Every time Harry asked about his parents his aunt would say they died in a car crash(supposedly). Harry has always dreamed of some unknown relation coming to take him away but it has never happened. They go to the zoo for Dudley's birthday and Harry ends up setting a large snake on him(possibly). When he tries to explain to his aunt and uncle that it wasn't his fault and that the glass just disappeared like magic they don't believe him.Later pounds of letters for Harry from someone unknown arrive for him and his uncle looses it and takes them far away to live in a hose in the middle of the ocean. the first night there a half giant comes and gives Harry a letter from Albus Dumbledor, headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and wizardry.The giant tells Harry that his parents didn't die in a car crash that they were murdered by an evil wizard. He also tells Harry that he was a wizard and asks if Harry would rather go with him or stay with the Dursleys. Will Harry go with the giant called Hagrid and will he come face to face with the man who killed his parents? Read this book to find out.
     This book is especially good for people who love a good mostly fantasy/mystery book. It is filled with the adventures that Harry goes on with his new friends, Ron Weasely and Hermione Granger.
J.K. Rowling is one of my favorite authors and I'm sure you will love her books too.
