I Made A Pot

I made a pot here's how ? Me and my brother found some clay on coast guard beach and got it wet it was cool because we didn't know what would happen. So the next day we came back to the beach and saw that the clay had harden. I thought it was cool because i found the clay so i mean its not every day that you find clay and actually make something out of it.

Lake Erie


Lake Erie is cool because it goes farther the the eye can see like a ocean. But how you know it is a lake is because it would be surrounded by land. The lake was cam with no waves we were in Cleveland Ohio with big sky scraper. But it stinks that we were just passing by because it was really cool and if you never been there before you should check it out?

Darn Maids!

At one of our Hotels we stayed in we got stuck in the elevator. Thankfully there was a maintenance guy who helped us get out. We were going up to the second floor when the elevator rumbled and cracked and then the elevator stopped between the floors. Eli let out a little whine and a squeal because he is scared of riding in elevators. The guy slid the door open, and found a squirt bottle from the maids cart. We had to take a big step up to get out of the elevator. We took the stairs the rest of day.

Driving with Mom and Dad

Dad was obsessed with Holiday Inn Express because they have Internet and so he could get his own bed and not share. Mom and dad always argue........ That's my pillow. Turn on the Fan. No ! I'm Hot . I'm Cold. Quite your whining! I can see why dad wants his own bed and fan.

GRANDE Root Beer Float

We went to a restaurant in Indiana and Dad kept singing this repetitive song. Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana............ We had Potato Soup, I didn't eat much but my sister ate the whole thing. They had a awesome salad bar and for dessert a Grande Root Beer float. It was like three times the size of a regular one. I could of had the whole thing but mom didn't let me. They had a gift shop too. I wanted to get this pop up comb that you clicked a button and then the comb flings up. Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana , Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana............

Fly Attack




To get to Illinois we crossed the Mississippi River for the very 1st time. Dad had to stop for gas and we rolled down the windows and in a split second their were like 20 flys in the car. Dad swatted like 5 with his hat but that didn't do much. I thought the Mississippi River was spectacular, because it was sooooooooooo big.

Spider Pit Stop !!

We were coming in from Colorado to Iowa and we took a pit stop at a regular rest area but we wanted to stretch our legs so guess what we did........ We went out to take some pictures by the corn for Mom and on our way we found a ginormous spider!! I freaked out and it felt like little spiders were crawling up my legs. Eli didn't want to be in the picture because he thought that there would be more. But Mom still made him take the picture.

NEBRASKA

Nebraska is great, because it's all farm fields with corn and crops. We stopped at Starbucks but couldn't get internet so I found a basket of games and we played Connect Four. I beat my mom a lot and we had smoothies with whipped cream.

Driving Driving Driving

We drove through New Mexico all night long. I don't know how my dad can stay up all night long driving, driving, driving. We stayed in Colorado Springs next to Pikes Peak and we saw Cat Tails walking Molly. The weather was warm enough so we could at least wear pants and short sleeved shirts. There was a cliff going down to a river and we tried to find a trail down to it but it said NO TRESSPASSING !! I wanted to stay in Colorado but we couldn't.

Red Horse Saloon


The Red Horse Saloon is in a Hotel.............well not really in the hotel, but right next to it. It's awesome you can eat free peanuts until you get sick. Doesn't it sound like fun already? But that is just the first part wait until I get to the root beer part. We also played pool which was awesome but Mom and Eli won and me and Amelie didn't even get one ball in. I had a big lunch and breakfast so I didn't have much dinner that night. OH, but I had root beer!! The greatest of all was root beer in a bottle!

its a Mexican dinner with sour cream, steak, beans and you can put all sorts of vegetables in it like bell peppers. Chips of all sorts like Doritos , tortilla chips and avacodo chips. Duncan and I almost ate the whole bowl of bean dip and the next day was stinky ! we toped off the beans with licorice , M&M's and big league chew bubble gum yumm!!!
