He failed miserably, but he always keeps trying!
Today was a nice sunny day so my family took out our boat! We always go to Deer Creek Reservoir and we have so much fun! My sister's boyfriend Caleb (or you may remember him as Mr. Caleb) loves to do tricks on the wakeboard or the surfboard. This was his attempt at a 360. He failed miserably, but he always keeps trying!

We came back from Bear Lake today, and when I got home I took a long nap. That's always better than unpacking! :) Then I went to my friend's house to hang out with his son Brayden. I didn't notice until I got home that Brayden took a bunch of selfies on my phone! I love that you can just barely see the top of his head! He is such a cutie. We had so much fun playing. We celebrated the 4th of July by camping at one of my favorite places on earth...Bear Lake! We stayed on our friend's property in Fish Haven, Idaho. I loved being on the beach all day and then watching fireworks at night. My favorite thing was wearing my SWEET patriotic socks all day! You can almost tell by the picture, but I am TERRIFIED of sparklers. They always scare me! It was so fun to celebrate with great friends. Now I am home ITCHING mosquito bites like CRAZY! That's what I get for being by the water at night! On my flight home from Atlanta, I read The Fault in Our Stars. I LOVED it! It was a good book. I really want to see the movie now, but I have to wait for my sister to get done with it first!
I sat down in my seat on the plane, and the girl next to me pulled out the same book! She hadn't started it yet, and she said, "Have you cried yet?!" I said that I was near the end but it wasn't too sad yet. Then I finished it and CRIED for the last ten pages! She was laughing with me, but it was so fun to have a little book club on the plane. It's amazing that books can bring people together like that! Oh, and Miss Mecham dyed her hair blue. I may be doing something with mine as well... STAY TUNED! But we knew that already right? I was bored by myself at the World of Coca-Cola and decided to order a Pepsi... We all know this is about to go viral any day now! During the later part of the day I spent time exploring the city with my cousins Matt and Taylor. We went to the Atlanta aquarium (notice the penguin selfie) and it was awesome! I took a lot of selfies this day! Also, we visited Centennial Park. It celebrates the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Taylor's parents bought him a brick WAY back then and we found it in the park! We are going back tonight to ride the ferris wheel. I just arrived at the ISTE conference. Here I will learn more about using technology in the classroom. I hope to meet interesting people and learn lots of new things! Today is a relaxing day before classes begin tomorrow. Atlanta is a pretty cool city. The conference center is RIGHT next to where the Atlanta Falcons AND where the Atlanta Hawks play. Right next to us is also the World of Coca-Cola and the famous Atlanta Aquarium. I want to explore the city so badly. Maybe I'll run away and check it out! I will be attending the International Society for Technology in Education Conference in Atlanta, Georgia this week. It was pretty lonely to travel alone! Two funny things that happened were a piano player in the airport, and a 17-year-old girl with this strange statue.
I am not sure why she brought it on a plane, but it had to sit on her lap the entire flight! She told me all about how she made it: She held on to a football and wrapped the entire thing in plaster. Plaster is the material that you would make a hard cast out of if you broke your arm. Then after it hardened, she had to pop the football and wiggle her hand out. Then she attached another plaster version of her arm on the other side of the football. It was a pretty cool sculpture, but I just thought it was strange to ride next to on a flight! If you remember, Miss Mecham has a second job working at Ruby River in downtown Salt Lake City. She works with a guy named Josh, who let me tag along with him and some other friends to the USA game watch party at Rio Tinto stadium! It was SO fun to watch the game there. There were lots of fans that were able to come. The played the game on the big screen, and it was fun to hear everyone cheer for the Real Salt Lake players when their names were announced. Josh and I were REALLY proud of our awesome outfits. We both think it's really fun to cheer on the USA during the World Cup and the Olympics. Remember when our class participated in the Olympics? Even though the US lost the game, we still advance to the next round. I can't wait to see the next game next Tuesday! |
