Best of Both Worlds BLAST!

You will never guess where we went last week! We went to Tampa to see the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus "Best of Both Worlds" concert! I am a member of her fan club, so we got our tickets a long time ago. My friend Sarah went too, and my grandma and grandpa were here from Indiana and went to Tampa but not to the concert. We stayed overnight and we were out of school all week because of the Thanksgiving vacation.



First we all went to the Miley World pre-party. There was a bunch of newscasts and helicopters and lots of KIDS. We got our picture taken with Miley's grandma. We really wanted to win the backstage passes to meet Miley. But we didn't. We won some bracelets though. Miley World had a great big pink bus with neat things for the party.



First the Jonas Brothers sang their songs. They sang all of our favorites and there were a couple new ones. AND THEN after them, out came Hannah Montana. Here she is singing with the Jonas Brothers for their last song. She did that before she left to turn into her real self, Miley! They were fantabulous. My favorite song was SOS (Jonas Brothers). I loved them but we were so excited to see Hannah!!!!!!!!!



Mom took this incredibly awesomely cool picture of Miley as herself! This is right when she came out. She came out from a trap door kind of thing in the stage. You can see it by her feet. Miley was really fun to see. We love all of her songs and sang the whole time.



Here is a neat view from our seats. We had glow sticks and it looks so pretty when everyone waved theirs around.



The concert was the most fun I have ever had in my entire life! It was awesomely coolio. Miley/Hannah had all sorts of very pretty outfits and she changed clothes super fast. Her dancers were really good too. I loved how loud the music was and how all the kids would scream really loud when we were excited. We took SO MANY pictures!

My Halloween Costume

Here is my Halloween costume. Me and my mom made the costume. We did not make the wig, though. My dad said it is OK to post because it really doesn't look like me at all!!!!!!

I was at a birthday party/Halloween party on Saturday and got runner up in the costume contest! The girl that won first place is my friend and she dressed up as a book - Green Eggs and Ham.

Meet Lilly!

We had a sad day a couple weeks ago. My poor bunny named Wiggles had a heatstroke. My grandma and dad and me did save her by keeping her ears wet and cooling her off. Then we had her live in the house to make sure she was cool, but she never got all better 100%. We took her to the vet and she said she had pneumonia and she had to be put to sleep. I was so sad. We all were because we loved Wiggles SO MUCH. I always signed my letters from Taylor and Wiggles!

My mom called the person we bought Wiggles from to see if there were any more bunnies like her. We got one yesterday. She is a mini Rex bunny and we named her Lilly.

Moray Eel!

Today my brother is going to be my guest blogger:

**************************
Hello. Today I got a great addition to my new saltwater tank. This is my very first moray eel. It is a yellow headed moray eel. Right now the only other thing in my tank is a pin fish that my dad caught. He was going to use it for bait or toss it back but I thought it would be neat to see in my aquarium.

Roller Coasters!

My aunt and my uncle and my four cousins were here visiting from Missouri. We decided to go to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure while they were here. I have never really gone on a big roller coaster before because I was not tall enough. I guess I grew since we were there a little while ago, because this time I was finally tall enough to ride the one called Dueling Dragons!!!! My best friend who is my cousin named Emma got me talked into going on it and I was so scared at first. I really wanted to bail while I was in line. We had no line though because we stayed at a resort that gave us quick fast passes. So that didn't give me any time to bail out. But I am very glad that I went on that roller coaster because I LOVED IT!

The roller coaster had the seats underneath the track and it went upside down many times. On one of the loops when you are going up, you can see the other track and the other people's feet. My mom never saw any of that, though, because she never opened her eyes!!!

And something that I did not notice is that it looks like you are going to smash into the castle wall. After that day ended, I couldn't scream at all anymore. And I still can't at full volume!

At Universal, I went on another roller coaster. It is called the Revenge of the Mummy. It was one of my favorite things because it was decorated as Egypt. I loved Egyptian things since we learned about it in school last year. Another thing I learned about is that I LOVED the gift shop at that ride because of the Egyptian things.

The picture on this post is not a roller coaster. It is a Jurassic park boat ride, and yes, I am on that actual boat! My aunt had a feeling and took the picture just as we came down. The last hill was 85 feet tall.

Turtle Eggs

Yes it was turtle eggs! We went to the beach and saw this man digging out the eggs. We went over to see what he was doing. He told us that those eggs are dead because they were not fertilized. He said we get some of those about once a year. He counted them and there were 124 eggs. He put them back in the nest, filled in the hole and took down the turtle nest warning sign.

Look at this! The week before this, we parked right where the red car is. We noticed that the dunes looked very narrow. They have looked that way since a lot of hurricanes a few years ago. Then we went to the beach the next week and this is what happened.



This post that is sunken down was even. It is a fence that keeps people from walking on the dunes. The dunes are so steep though you couldn't really walk on them here.


We had our relatives here last week until today, so we were super busy! I can blog again now though.

Back From Vacation!

Did you wonder where I was? I was on vacation in Cocoa Beach! My brother got to go to the Space Academy camp for a week at Kennedy Space Center. Instead of driving back and forth from our house, we decided to stay at the beach for a week. My mom took me, my sister, and my brother. My dad came to visit the last day.

On Wednesday, I was eating a Cheezit and I had a very loose tooth. When I bit down on one I bit something like a rock. It was my loose tooth that came out. The next day my brother bit down on a water bottle and he lost a tooth too!

Me, my mom and my sister went to the beach everyday. We found really pretty scallop shells. I will post some more pictures tomorrow.

Almost every day we went to a jetty and watched cruise ships take off. They are HUGE and the people on them waved and cheered when they went by!!!! It was a lot of fun. The ships were REALLY close and really BIG too.

This one is a Disney ship. See the Mickey Mouse on the top? That is my sister waving.


One night it was rainy so my mom gave us hair wraps. This is part of mine:


This is my sister's:


This is a rocket launch pad you can see from the beach and the jetty.

Wordless Wednesday (we are on vacation)

We love to go to the beach when it is really hot out. We like to boogie board and we like to play in the ocean. I have never had swimming lessons. But one day my cousin was at the beach with me and we were both really little. When my mom came home from work I told her that I could swim. And she said "no you can't!" and I said "yes I can" and then we repeated that over about 5 times until I jumped in the pool and amazed her. Yes, my cousin had taught me how to swim at the beach!!!!! My cousin is also my best friend in the whole entire universe!

Did you know that sea turtles lay their eggs on the beach and then bury them? A fact that I learned is that when the sea turtles hatch and grow up and then go to lay their own eggs, they lay them right where they were born! I don't know how they can do that, but they do!



The signs are to keep the sea turtle eggs safe. One of the rules is that you could go to prison if you bother the nest. And you could have a fine too. Well you can read the sign.



Here is my little sister looking for shells! There are tons and tons and tons of shells there sometimes when the tide goes out. Once I collected shells to make a necklace but I never got to finish it. I have always wanted to find on the beach a whole scallop with both sides attached. We find lots of pretty ones, but only one side. Another thing I've always wanted to find is a gigantic starfish.


This really tall yucca or aloe type plant is blooming. That tall stalk is its flower and you can see how tall it is compared to the sign. I don't know the name of the plant yet.

Tie Dye Twists

Today we got picked up early from our YMCA camp. My mom got done with our horse vet early. Then she thought it would be fun to tie dye when we got home.

First we had to get out our supplies. We used dye, tupperwares, plain white shirts.



To create designs we wrapped them up tight and put twists and knots and marbles in. After that, you tie them tight then you soak them in the dye you want.

Here is mine soaking.



Here it is ready to rinse.



We didn't know how it would turn out but here it is.



Here are the other two we made. The first is my sister's:


And this is my brother's:

My New Webkin

I am so excited. Today I got a brand new one and it is the Husky dog. When I went to a birthday party, I got a whole Webkin and trading cards in a goody bag. It turned out that I had that one, so the people at Hallmark we nice enough to exchange it. And then I got my husky. I named her Mia (like My-ah)when I got home.

Why do I like Webkinz? I like it because when you adopt your pet it looks even cuter on the computer. I like to play with my friends and their Webkinz.

Here are all the ones I have:
Flip - tree frog, Lily - bull frog, Periwinkle - spotted frog, Tigie - tiger cub, Mia - husky dog.

Can you tell I LOVE frogs? Real ones too!

More About That Owl

Can you guess where I took that picture of the owl? Nature walk? On a trip? At a zoo? An aquarium? Or in our neighborhood?

If you guessed the aquarium you are right. Look how very teeny tiny it really was. About as tall as my hand and that's all.

Try to spot him in the picture!

It is a small, small screech owl and is on the left side of the picture. It was not in a cage, so I don't know if it could fly. Mom was looking at the air plants and the orchids and I saw the owl! We did not know what a funny face he was making until we zoomed way in. His beak looks like a tooth!

I learned a lot about owls last year. One fact about the barn owl is that it has a white heart shaped face. Sometimes when my dad and I take a night walk we see some owls perched on the power lines.

Terrific Tampa Trip

Me and my family and my grandparents went to Tampa for my brother's birthday. My grandparents were visiting from Indiana so we were lucky they got to go too.

We stayed at a hotel called the Marriott Waterside. And they had a pool that was gigantic and it was outside on the third floor. We went swimming until 11:00 at night and I was up until after midnight!!!

The next day we went to the Tampa Aquarium. This huge cruise ship was there waiting to leave on a trip. It was called the Inspiration. This shows it when it is leaving the port.

Here is another picture so you can see how big it really is. The other ship is called the U.S.S. American Victory. You could take tours, we decided not go on it but it was neat to look at. That is my brother standing by the ships.

My First Blog Post!

Welcome to my new blog! I am going to share some of the fun things I do with my family and maybe some poems or stories I make up. Movie and book reviews would be fun, too, because I read a lot of books and go to the movies a lot.

I have a pet bunny named Wiggles, two horses at home named Koty and Dusty, a lot of cats, a hamster, lots of fish, and wild raccoons.

I am starting at the YMCA for the summer. I am excited about that because on Tuesday I am going to a local waterpark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
