Oops!...........And other stuff.

Oops! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in soooooooo long!  I just can't remember I actually HAVE this blog!  my mom keeps telling me, but I keep forgetting!  Something tragic happened 2 or 3 weeks ago.  We had been adopting a boy, which we gave him the name of David James, and we had become very attached to him....me mostly...and we had just gotten our LOA, (Letter Of Acceptance) when my parents got an e-mail that he had been attacking the other children and stealing the nanny's cell phones.  And since we have two little girls, we had to turn him down........

Snorkel Trip!

A couple of days ago me, my brother, and my dad went snorkeling at Sebastian inlet.  We got in beyond the tide pool and snorkeled to the river and went back down to the tide pool and the only life we saw were birds, sea grass, and hermit crabs.  Tons of hermit crabs.  After that, we met a friend of ours who said we should go down to the jetty and snorkel there.  So we took his advice and went on down to the jetty and we saw some cool striped fish near the coquina ( Florida's native rock ).We went on and we were suddenly surrounded by snook! there must have been at lest 200 of them! I was amazed.  We worked our way forward and saw something that looked a lot like a coral reef!  I saw sooo many different kinds of fish I can't name them all!  Though I remember seeing a barracuda!  So we headed back to shore when someone on the pier said "There's a manatee out there!" when my dad looked out north and was thinking "we aren't swimming way out there." When he said "No! No! No! RIGHT BEHIND YOU!  So I put my goggles and snorkel on and take one look underwater and yell "OH, MY GOSH!!!" And there"s an 11-foot manatee right below me!!!  My brother and dad went down and rubbed it but I didn't because I don't like to go under water with my snorkel on.  And that's the end or Fin.

Surfers for Autism (SFA)

The SFA held a surfing festival yesterday for kids with autism-WAIT!  You are probably wondering what autism is.  It's where people can't understand or communicate very well but sometimes they have very minor cases of it or major cases.  after we had lunch they had  raffles and we won two times in a row!  first we won a purse filled with a lot of cool things, and then we won the board part of a skateboard.  Then my sisters wanted to try surfing!  Here's the outcome:

Soon after, we went home.

I'm back!

The reason why I haven't posted in so long is because my parents went to N.C. to attend my grandmothers funeral. She died on June 23rd. I wasn't happy. Though after awhile I got over it. I forgot to tell you that you should visit my brothers blog at

Toy Story 3

Today, I saw the new movie, Toy Story 3! In 3D! It's about when Andy is going to college and he trys to put all his old toys in the attic, but when he helps his sister carry her own old toys, he leaves them next to the attic and his mom takes them to the curb on the street! Then they escape to sunnyside daycare and they realize the loveable lots-o'-huggin' is really not that good on the inside. But in the end, Mr. lots-o' gets tied up on the front of a garbage truck and the toys make it home. Happy fathers day!

Viera Wetlands

Today, I went to the Viera wetlands with my family. We saw lots of birds like red-winged blackbirds, crows, blue herons, snowy egrets, and lots more. My sister, SG, spotted a deer and my dad got some pictures of it. I then saw an alligator about three feet long lying on the side of the road like a stick. His picture is on the right. All you who are reading this should go to the Viera Wetlands.
