Yay!! Our neighbors just got a Wii!! They were really nice, and let us play it! It is really cool!! :-)

Alton Brown

For those of you who watch the food network you probably know Alton Brown. We went to the Opryland hotel, and saw him! He was doing a cooking demonstration. He did it on different candies. First he made cotton candy. He made this sugary mixture and added red food coloring and he put two chairs back to back with newspaper under them. He picked up a little bit at a time, and strung it back and forth. He rolled it up and it was cotton candy. Next, he made marshmallows. He used a mixer, but not the one with the flames on it, so he drew some flames on it with a sharpie, it was really funny!!!! At the end he gave them out I didn't get any though. Finally, he made ice cream, but he didn't just use an ice cream mixer he used this liquid nitrogen(Talia has pics. of that on her blog!). It froze really fast . He offered it to my little brother, but my brother wouldn't take it. He offered it to my sister she said it was awesome. He did this thing at the begining that he explained all about different sugars and stuff. Thats the picture I have is of him explaining that and if you look close he has it written on is hand he told everyone!!!! Plus we got great seats, right in the front, we could practically see up his nose, We were that close!!!!!!!!!

"Tree Lady"


You are probably thinking what the heck this is! It is this "Tree Lady" Thing at the Opryland Hotel. She only comes out every so often. She has stilts on her arms and legs as you probably can tell. She doesn't talk she just walk around REALLY slow. She does poses and everything. She even got really close to me and Talia she was almost touching she was pretty and scary at the same time...... If thats possible.

Stuck Locker

I just went to Page to see who are my teachers for this year. I got Mrs. LaFontaine and Mr. Harris. I got my locker and the combination. When I went and tried to open it, It wouldn't open. So My mom tried it and she couldn't get it. Then Mr. Pearson tried to open it he only got half of it open. It was stuck so now I will either get a new locker or get help to try me get it open on the first day.

FAIR

For me summer has felt like a week!!!! School is almost here. I just went to the county fair Friday. i rode most of the rides all except the big circle bumper cars and the HUGE drop!! I even went on the Hammer, It was REALLY scary. The cyclopes was actually really fun! The ION was fun. We didn't even hold on we were having a nice conversation on it while we rode on it. Ferris wheel will always be really scary to me! The Himalaya was fun but my mom got a big bruise from it. The pirate ship was great (it gives you that weird felling in your stomach). The octopus was scarier than I thought, It spun pretty fast. Alpine Bobs is and always will be the best ride, Every time I go there I have to ride that with my sister. I think thats all of them, anyway
It was really fun!!!!
