Friday

Playing chess by the fire with my sis! :) (and blogging obviously)

I officially have no respect for the king considering he can only move ONE space in any direction. Pft whatever the queen is way better.

Prop 37

Oh California you have no idea how disappointed I am in you. So California just voted NO on the prop that says that food companies have to label their food when it has genetically modified organisms, GMO's, in it. That means that if our food came from a lab, we won't now. Apparently the horrible huge companies that use GMO's all the time (mainly meat companies) put enough money in to the campaign convincing people that it will cost more at grocery stores if they label their food. (It won't) I am especially irritated and disappointed because I am only 12 so I can't vote, yet I understand the situation more then some adults.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

I watched this movie last night and I loved it! One of my favorite things about it was the saying that Sunny, Dav Patel, had.

 

 

"It will be all right in the end and if it's not all right it's not the end"

 

 

Doctor Who

The next episode of Doctor Who is coming out on Christmas? BEST GIFT EVER.

(note to all family and friends that doesn't mean you don't have to get me a present.)

Horses and a donkey

So today I helped herd our neighbors horses in to their pen after they got out. They all went in easily except for the donkey. After a lot of effort I finally got the donkey back in. He was literally as stubborn as a mule.

Oreos

Oreos, they are vegan, you have been warned.

California

Hooray I'm in California!! I can't believe it! It took so long to get here. (13 hours) It was great seeing our family!

Paris

Ha ha I have gotten to my Paris post! Please enjoy the pics. :)

This is the Eiffel Tower which you all should know. On the right Cambria and I are on the carousol (which she dragged me on to.) I love this picture. We only went to the second landing although I wanted to go to the top.

These two pics are of Notre Dame We went all the way to the top! After that we ate lunch right next to it!

 
This is my mom at Moulin Rouge! We kind of just got out of the Metro, took our pictures, and left. :)

This is Sacre Coeur! The coolest part was the little shopping and eating area up there. Also we could see Sacre Cur from the Eiffel Tower so it was cool when we got there and could see the Eiffel Tower.

 On the left is me on the Eiffel Tower. Before we went up I told my sister that if she didn't behave I'd throw her off the Eiffel tower but, to my dissapointment there was metal squares blocking my way. On the right is me and my sister at dinner. (See doesn't she look crazy, like at any moment she'll go bouncing off the walls?)

On the left is me and my sister by the Mona Lisa which was surprisingly small. On the right is me eating Escargo. It was actually pretty good considering they smothered it in garlic and butter. Yum!

Mont Saint Michael

                                                              


These are my pictures from Mont Saint Michael. If you didn't see from the post before I am posting parts of my trip to France from last year in different posts.

This is Mont Saint Michael. It is a whole town.

 This is my sister on Mont Saint Michael. We rented a room there. It was so amazing. That's why she's in her PJs.

 Sorry this pic is sideways. I can't seem to turn them the right way. Anyways this is me in front of Mont Saint Michael at night. My mom and I went out there at night to take some pics.

So this picture is of us at Monet's house which, for those of you who don't know, is not on Mont Saint Michael.

 

Normandy

So in the next few posts I'll be sharing my journey through France with you. There are so many things to see there! It was really hard narrowing down the pictures but I got the best ones. Just so you know went there during the summer last year.


  

 

These two pictures are of the beaches at Normandy. The objects were floated over from England and used like docks. Also while we were there we saw these little brown worm things and, being naturally curious as we humans are, we stepped on one and it just dissolved in to the sand. Now none of us new what they were so of course we Googled them. We found out that they were sand worm "droppings". Yeah...

 This is a stained glass picture of a parachuter from World War 2. Surprisingly this was in a church!

Horrible Histories

One of my favourite series of books is the Horrible Histories series. They tell you about different times in history. They also tell you about it in a fun, interesting and gory way. I've really enjoyed all of the books in this series that I have read. I just recently finished Woeful Second World War andVicious Vikings.

Budapest

So this weekend we went to Budapest and WOW. It was so amazing. The baths were my favorite place. They looked very greek and ancient but there were fun things like jets and a waterfall! Also there were mineral baths inside the building. I'll post pictures we took while we were there but for now here's some pictures of the places we went to from google images. NOTE these are not my pictures.

Ha Ha

Hehe... funny. (I did not draw this picture)

Mark of Athena

Mark of Athena has been released!!! Anyone who loves the Heroes of Olympus books or the Percy Jackson books will LOVE this new book from Rick Riordan. It is part of the Heroes of Olympus series so DON'T read it before you read The Lost Hero (1st book in the series) and The Son of Neptune (2nd book in the series). They are all amazing books that I would highly recomend. Check out my reviews of other books by Rick Riordan by clicking on this link!

True words

"Annabeth's around? There's hope." This is what my dad said after I told him that Annabeth is in the Heroes of Olympus series.

Wow

I found these pictures awesome and amazing. :)

Dumbledore

Me dressed up as Dumbledore. My hair is my beard! :)

Almond Milk

So my mom was doing some research and she found out that almond milk is better for you than soy milk. That is why now me and my mom started triying out different types of substitute milks. We got rice milk, almond milk, hazelnut milk, coconut milk and chocolate coconut milk. They're all really tastey!

Katniss Drawing

This is how I imagine Katniss.

Camp

I just came back from camping in the Forest of Dean! It was so much fun and I was really lucky that one of the  supervisors was also a vegan!

We had to climb up this

Doctor Hoo

Synchronized Swimming

On Friday we went to see synchronized swimming in London for the Olympics! It was the Gold Medalist match. It was so much fun! We went to the Aquatics Center.
