Hershey Park

 This is about my trip to Hershey Park.
 The first part was the drive.  I took over 4 hours! We spent most of it listening to songs on either youtube or  on Kalani's kindle. The rest was spent playing on games, video games or 20 questions. 
 When we finally got there, the first thing we rode was the Comet. It had 4 major drops, and for the rest of the day, we joked "I don't think I could eat a bite-I left my stomach at the top of the Comet!" We went on 3 more times, the last time, we had front row seats with our hands in the air!
 The next thing we did was we went to the boardwalk, the water park. I forgot my swimsuit, so there was only one ride we went on-Tidal Force. It was like shipwrecked (see 1st post), only bigger and more fun!
 The next ride we went on was the Wild Mouse. It had super sharp turns that made you feel like you were going to fall out of the car! The last time we met a girl named Carol and her sister. It was their first time. Carol ended up screaming "I'm going to kill you!" at her sister.
 The last ride we went on I had to drag Kalani onto, the Wildcat. It was a 84 ft. drop at 45 mph! It  seriously      rocked!
 Then we went home It took at least 5 hours because the GPS didn't work. We spent most of it lying down or taking pictures with Kalani's DSixl.
 All in all, it was a lot of fun!

Animals

I love animals, and we have a cat named Pippin. He likes to snuggle with us at night. Here is a picture of him:
He is sleeping on my dad's shoes.

My favorite animal is a dolphin. They are smart and fun-loving (like me!). It must be fun to swim all day.  They are able to ward off sharks by ramming the soft belly of the shark.
The pet I would like to have the most would be any kind of reptile, preferably a lizard. I think lizards are cool. I don't really have a reason, I just like their scaly texture and I think they look cool. I also like snakes. It would be cool to have some snake skin.
I also like birds. They are able to fly around all day. Their songs are very pretty.
Here are some pictures of a chickadee (I made sure it was) I caught on camera:

He was just sitting there!




Bugs are cool too. We were gardening this morning and found a lot of bugs
This is a USB (unidentified strange bug)



Grasshopper = Big!

My Regular Life

Hi! My name is Sarah and I'm 11 years old. I live in Virginia. I have 4 sisters, Elizabeth, Rachael, Maire and Erica. (You can read more about them in my Mom's blog.)
My days really are packed! Every morning, I jog, from 7:30 until 8:20. Then we come back and we have to do our chores.  I have to clean my room, clear the dishwasher, do the recycling and, on Saturdays,  I have to vacuum the basement.  The rest of the day is either watching Netflix, swimming, or playing with my sisters or friends. I just know my mom is going to make me write more. One of my best friends, Kalani, is going to take me to Hershey Park on Thurs day. It's a 4-hour drive from where we live, so we need to take a few things with us. She has also taken me to Six Flags. The first ride was Shipwrecked. It was my first roller coaster ride ever, and it rocked! You go up a steep incline and then go down it into water and it makes a tsunami!  You get the soaking of your life! The next thing we did was a go-cart race  Kalani won but she kept egging me on by stopping in the middle of the race, causing me to suddenly stop and as son as I did, she would start up again. The last place we went was the water park. We first went to the Tornado, an extreme ride. The inner tubes weighed a ton! But it was worth it.  We also played in the wave pool and on other water slides. I 've had  many great times with Kalani.
