Lizzie the Lizard

Lizzie is the lizard I got from school and am taking care of this summer. So every once in a while I take her out of her cage and let her run around in my room and then I take her outside sometimes even. When she is outside she never moves around she just sits there and looks around. In the manual Mrs. Kelly gave me it says that it is good to take them outside because of the vitamins that they get from the sun. So the other day I had taken Lizzie outside and we had been out a while so I was just about to take her back inside. Then she started looking around up in the sky. All of a sudden she puffed up. (Lizzie is a Bearded Dragon so if something scares her she will puff up like a frog when they rib-it. I also have some pictures of her when she puffs up.) Then she took off running toward my neighbor’s yard. They have a chain linked fence so I thought she would stop, but no she just kept on running. I started freaking out and knew I would be in big trouble if we couldn't find her. So I ran inside and told my mom. She was on the phone so she quickly told them she had to go and called out Jamie, Chase and his friend Tyler Blume outside and to come help look for Lizzie. We looked and look for about 5 minutes and there was no sign of her. So my mom called us and we took a minute to pray and asked God to help us find her. Then about two minutes later after crawling around on our knees there she is up next to our neighbor's shed. We were so thankful, and I am never taking her outside again that is for sure.

My Grandma

My Grandma Jo lives down in FL and came to visit this week. She stayed in Jamie's room so Jamie slept on Chases floor. My grandma got me and my sister into rubber stamping, and is a always sending us letters telling us that she wishes we write more. So one day I drew a picture of a cute little cartoon skunk and sent it to her. She loved it, and named it Stinky and framed it. While my grandma was here we went miniature golfing (I will put in pictures soon.) One of the days my grandma was here I introduced her to a game called OTHELLO. I beat her pretty well and so the rest of the week we had to play at least 2-3 games a day. I beat her at all of them but two. We also played a lot of card games. So my grandma is pretty exciting at times and loved to tell us about her child hood. There were some pretty interesting stories.

Summer

This summer has been so busy. First I went camping, that was fun. We were at Vanburen state park in South Haven over on Lake Michigan. The only problem was that the beach was covered in rocks. You had to walk at least 15 feet into the lake for it to get sandy. Then, a couple days after I went to TN with my youth group, that was tons of fun. We worked at this recreation center that was in this small town. The town was kind of like down town Jackson. The kids were so sweet though. We we only with them for 2 days but we just got attached. Everyone was in tears by the time it was time to go. I wish I had some pictures but I only brought disposable cameras. Well then after all of that I got a couple weeks off. Then we went camping again. This time the beach was much nicer, but the bugs were awful. The best part in my opinion throughout that whole trip was that we got to go to the lake and we stayed in a hotel one of the nights. The reason for that was because there was a big storm. There was hail and 60mph winds. Are stuff was soaking wet. So we went to a Comfort Inn.

Having Fun!

I went to my Grandparents pool yesterday and the day before that and the day before that and so on. We go there every day every day of the summer for as long as I can remember. But unfortunately this is the last summer. The lining in the pool is wearing out and it is very expensive. We are very worried how we will stay in touch after the pool is gone. We would be there for hours then as soon as we are about leave at the spur of the moment someone would ask if another person could spend the night. and that is what happend yesterday so right know i am a t Tessa's and she is playing the piano. She just finished explaining how to make blog. The song called Write a Letter to Me by Brad Paisley is just a song i heard on CMT it is just a random song, but Happy is a song by Ayiesha Woods That I heard at the revolve tour my youth group went on. Well I am not that good at blogging yet but I am trying to get the hang of it.
