Modern Earth

This is the picture I had to make for Grafic Design Class. It's sort of depressing but I like how it turned out.

Lately, I've been running around frantically organising a "Quittich" team with my friend Eric for the fun day were having at my high school on friday. It's just like the real thing except with running instead of flying. The difficuly was no team could have no more than 4 of one gender (there are 7 total on a team). I spent the past two days making sure I got three girls on the team and that everyone knew the rules. Well whatever, I'm fairly certain it will be a lot of fun even if our team looses horribly, which will probabally happen since were all freshmen.

State Fair

Yesterday our family went to the state fair out towards Syracuse. We all got up early, hopped in the car, drove for several hours and successfully beat the crowds. We had a lot of fun.

We started out with the cows. There were so many I wonder how the judges pick from so many. While visiting the calves two boys brought out bottles so we could feed them. Audra discovered her true talent in feeding calves.

Apparently the sheep at this fair wanted to protect their identity so we decided not to pry too much.

Mom and I saw one the goats doing this and thought it was quite funny. I guess he just needed a little boast from his friend.

After visiting the Animals we went over to the ride section. After Alicia and I had both rid a ride, we discovered that Mom had accidentally dropped the tickets. Oh well the ride section was never my favorite part anyway. We ate lunch instead. I certainly had my share of bacon yesterday. I had a bacon burger for lunch and a BLT for dinner. Personally, I liked the BLT better.




Every year a artist makes a sculpture out of butter. It was pretty impressive let alone that it was made out of butter. This is this year's butter sculpture. It was quite amazing.

Just like the Butter sculpture a sculpture out of sand is also made. This too is amazing. The picture is of only part of the entire sculpture. There was also a ship and a rowboat to the right of Poseidon and both had pirates in them.

Overall we had a lot of fun. I took a lot of pictures and would have taken even more if Mom and I hadn't thought we had lost the camera. Luckily dad had it. We finished off the day with some soft ice cream. Yum!

A playmobil motion picture

This is a little video I made by taking pictures of my sister's playmobil castle.

Reflections

This is a picture I took with Alicia's Playmobile castle. I think this one turned out quite nicely.

Today at the dinner table, my family and I were discussing a few memories. We were perticulurly talking about the time that I, being the absent minded professor that I am, attempted to decend the stair case with my hands and feet tied together. I, of course, fell and almost killed myself. Somehow I managed to be laughing by the time I hit the bottom. I guess it was just a lesson learned and a story created that I can someday tell to my grandchildren.

Scary Drive and other tales

This morning when we were driving home from church, my family had quite a frightening experence. A brief storm was coming through just when we had decided to go home. The temperature was really cold and the visability was awful. It was so bad, we couldn't even see 50 feet away. It was especially scary when we had to cross 5 & 20. We couldn't tell if there were any cars coming. We had to just go for it and hope for the best. Thankfully, no cars were coming. Who would ever think that it could be so scary just to cross the street?

I also got to see our middle school musical today. It was pretty good except for the few actors that put no emotion into their lines. I don't really care to sing so I don't think I would want to be in a musical. I like to act, just not so much to sing.
