Each Year

Christmas is coming! Every Year my Grandma Kelley sends each of her children and her grandchildren a special ornament (Its a tradition or something). This year she sent me this one.




(best I could get of it)

It's a snow globe that is an inch and a half tall! Its the smallest snow globe I've ever seen, also notice the little name at the bottom? It says "Ken", ain't that sweet? Well I thought it was. If my Grandma reads this, THANK YOU!

My Little Secret

Hello all, I just turned fifteen October 16th. I didn't really have a birthday party and my present is so big it has to be combined with Christmas and my birthday, so I have to wait till Christmas (Arrg!, of course its not that far off). My secret is now that I'm fifteen I CAN DRIVE! Pretty scary. So be watching the roads because there might be a crazy guy swerving everywhere like me. I have to have a person in the car that has had their license for five years, so I'm not completely unsupervised. Just thought I'd let you know.

The Trip To Silverwood!


Our trip to Silverwood was very enjoyable! We had a blast hanging at Farragut Campgrounds and seeing Pend Orielle Lake. We also went kayaking in Pend Orielle Lake and we tipped our kayaks over (not what you're supposed to do). When we got in Silverwood we instantly went to Tremors. It's a tradition in our family that for the last four years we've ridden on Tremors first! I also can officially say that I have survived "The Aftershock!" Here are some pictures of it.
The picture on the top right is one of the entire roller coaster. Its total speed is 65.24 mph and is 1 minute and 32 seconds long. Its max G force is 4.5!
That is a lot of G force. The picture on the right is a vertical view of the highest point of the ride. Its height is 192 ft and the length of the track is 1204 ft! Thats amazing, and whats even better is I survived it. The rest of the trip went great. We had a lot of fun and I recommend taking a trip with a family or friends or taking a school field trip. We went with our Grandparents and it was a blast.
