Lots and Lots of Pie

Do you enjoy pie? I like pie and I am going to talk about two specific kinds of pie, pecan and apple. I will tell you their differences and their similarities.
Pecan pie, it gets its name from the pecan nuts on it. What makes it different from apple pie is that it isn't made with fruit. It is less healthy, as it has more calories, more fat, and more sugar. I also think it isn't very good tasting.
Apple pie, it gets its name from the apples in it. It is full of fruit unlike pecan. If you ever want dessert but you says no tell her its "healthy" because it has fruit in it. It is healthier than pecan pie. Also I think it tastes better than pecan pie.
Some similarities are they are both obviously pies. Another one is that they are usually eaten during Thanksgiving or Christmas.
And those are some differences between Apple pie and Pecan pie.

Live Laugh Love

Our lives are to short,
To waste it with some sadness,
So with every step you take,
Spread some gladness.

A Really Fun Weekend

One Friday this year, when we didn't have school. It was my friends birthday that day and we were going to Seven Oaks to go skiing, snowboarding, and tubing. Then we were going to his house to have a sleepover. So that day I was so excited because I hadn't been in a while, the bad thing was that since I was so excited that it felt like the day was getting longer. It seems like every time I'm doing something exciting that day it feels like the day goes by really long. But once the time finally came I got my stuff on and went to my friends house and his parents were suppose to drive us. On the way there we were waving at random people in cars and telling them to honk their horns which made the car ride go by fast because it takes around 45 minutes to get there. When we got there we had to wait for the others to get there because he goes to a different school. When they got there we went inside to get our gear on. After all of that time we finally got to go up. Since I hadn't gone in a while I had to go down the bunny hill once then I went down all the other hills. Since I hadn't gone in a while I was a little nervous so I kept braking the whole time I went down the first time which figured out it makes you fall if you come to a sudden stop. After a few hours we went to Pizza Ranch and had pizza. When we were done with that we went to his house to have a sleepover. We watched a movie, played video games, and had airsoft wars. I never really went to sleep. The next day we all left and thats why this was a really fun weekend.

Just Keep Swimming!

What is your favorite sport? Mine is swimming and I will tell you some reasons why
it should be yours. I might also tell you why you might not think so, if that was possible.

One reason why I think swimming is the best sport is swimming is because if you swim
for a while you will become very healthy. Take Michael Phelps for an example, he eats over
1,000 calories just for breakfast. Another reason is because you get to mess around in water.
The last reason is because you don't get sweaty and you wouldn't get as dehydrated like say
running or a sport that you are working the whole time.

Now I will tell you some reasons why you might think otherwise about swimming. One is
because it doesn't have action or violence. Another reason is because it's very easy and it takes
hard work. The last and final one is because you would have to eat healthy which means eating
gross food like fruits and vegtebles.

Now that I have told you some reasons about swimming, you decide the better sport, the smart
thing to do is choose swimming, but it's your decision.

The Day Things Changed

The Space Challenger exploded in January of 1986, I interviewed my mom about she went through and she felt like when it happened. It was the day thins changed!

What was going through your head at the time?
It didn't seem real, like it wasn't happening.
Where were you at the time?
I was still in High school.
Were you afraid of this happening again?
Not really at the time but when the next space shuttle launched I was a little nervous.
How likely do you think this is of happening again?
I think it is about 10% likly to happen again.
Has there been anything similar to it?
Yes, there was something else that blew up but I don't remember it that well.
Where did the explosion happen?
Over the Atlantic Ocean.
How did it happen?
Just some bad parts used to make it.
Is there a memorial, if not do you think there should be one?
There might be one near Cape Canaveral

The explosion of the space shuttle was a very sad times especially for those who lost loved ones. When it happened it was with in less than a minute after the launch it exploded right over the Atlantic Ocean. And that is why it was the day things changed.

International be like a sumo day

My holiday is International be like a sumo day. On that day you walk like you have a wedgie, if you fall then you can't get up so you're supposed to roll on the ground. Also every hour you do the sumo slide, you do 2 jumps and a slide but then you get tired and sweaty after all that work. When you're eating after you eat a ton of food you shove extra food in your belly button for later.
International be like a sumo day is on July 16th and it was started by a guy named Takashi who lives in Taiwan where sumo wrestling is the national sport, he came to the U. S. and he opened a club for sumo wrestling and it turned into a holiday.

Swimming at Midwest Regionals

  When my team and I swam at regionals in Minneapolis, Minnesota. During the two day period my team members and I were ranking really high. Since we had a big team we had a lot of relays and if you get 1st place you get 40 points for your team my relay got 1st so we got a lot of points for our team. In the end of Regionals my team had won by over 100 points. It was the first time my team had in history. We had gotten second 3 times and third five times, so it was a  big accomplishment. Since it was in the beginning of April it was near my birthday so we went to Rainforest cafe at Mall of America. When we got there it was misty with a lot of bird noises like hawks. So that was ow my spring break went.
