Renaissance Faire

Last week end, my family and I went to the Renaissance faire. We saw a joust (the knight that was in front of our row of seats won), some really, really funny shows called Mooney and Broon, and tons of people dressed up. I ate a corn-on-the-cob for lunch and a smoothie for dessert. My brother got a monkey tail (chocolate covered banana). We walked around some more and then we left.

What a day with my friend Issy

Today I went to my brother's soccer game, They were playing against the Suns.(My brother's team won the game...Again!) One of the suns players is B., Issy's brother. While the boys played,me and Issy built a tepee out of sticks.Then we met each other a the Pow wow. I interviewed some people that were dancing for my report coming up at school. It was hard because we stayed at the pow wow for a while, plus it was really hot. Later my brother and B. left with my mom while me and Issy stayed some more with her mom. When we got bored we went to her house to play. We went on her home made go-cart, and then I left. Now here I am, writing away on the computer.

head lice

In my school, head lice is going around. About 5 people in my class were absent because of it. A head lice is a kind of bug that feeds on the blood from the scalp. It's really contagious and spreads when a person who has head lice put their head close to someone else's. The egg of a lice is called a nit. It is shown in the second picture. Other facts about lice: here. Now the school nurse comes every week to check our hair making sure we don't have it. I'm glad that I don't have it !!

Swim team

This week I had a try out for a swim team. You know what? I got in! And the best part is that I'm with 4 other friends. So far I only had 2 practices. We do laps in different strokes. The pool is warm in the beginning, but after an hour of swimming, it gets pretty cold; overall I think I'm doing quite well, but most important, I'm having lots of fun .... with my friends!!!
