My Dream( My Seventh Adventure)

Secret agent

   My dream started out in a tall, fancy hotel and I think I was supposed to be some sort of secret agent.  My mission was to protect the hotel janitor from this old couple at the top floor.
This is a picture of the hotel that looked really similar to the one in my dream except my dream was during the day time.  
I started out following the janitor around while he was doing his job, but then I had to go to the bathroom.  While I was in the bathroom the old people attacked the janitor (because they had ninja skills) and I had to rescue him.  Afterwards I got hungry so I went to eat lunch while he finished up with work.  Before I could finish eating however, I got a call on my phone telling me he was being attacked by the old people with ninja skills and I had to go rescue him again.  So instead of taking the elevator or the stairs (which would have been the most logical ways of getting to the top floor) I ran up the wall all the way to the top floor and started looking for the janitor and the old couple.  It didn't take long for me to spot both of the old people carrying the janitor over their shoulders. (as mom would say like a sack of potatoes) So I kicked the old man in the shin and they dropped the janitor.
this is almost what they looked like minus the ninja costumes.
Then the janitor helped me sit on both of them to make sure that they couldn’t move but for some reason we weren’t heavy enough to hold them both down and they got up anyway. Now we were sitting on their shoulders and they were trying to shake us off.  In this process they came to close to the railing that was suppose to make sure small children didn't fall from their room all the way down to the lobby.  Unfortunately In their panic they accidentally fell over the railing. (hmm okay so it wasn't so unfortunate for the janitor but definitely unfortunate for the old couple) In the end the janitor and I had just enough time to jump off safely from their shoulders and avoid sharing fate of the old couple as they fell to their doom.

Just another reason to fear spiders (my sixth adventure)

creepy spider
   
Spiders are smarter than we think!  I know because in the shower yesterday, I saw a HUGE spider so I tried to drown it with the shower head.  When it curled up I thought it was dead.  Even though I was sure I drowned it I kept checking back to make sure it hadn’t moved.  When I was almost ready to go to bed I looked back at the spider again and I was sure that it was in a different spot than the last time I checked. That was when I remembered Michael telling me how he killed a bee with oxiclean and grabbed the Lysol from underneath the sink. 
week anti-spider spray
Then I proceeded on to disinfect the spider and sure enough the spider made very small movements as if it was trying to run away from the Lysol.  It didn’t take long for me to realize that the Lysol didn’t seem to be working.  So I used the 409 instead and attacked the intruder with a shower of antibacterial all-purpose cleaner.  After I was absolutely sure that it was 100% dead I rinsed out the tub with the shower and you’ll never guess what happened next!  The spider came back from the dead and started swimming against the current in the tub this time however I made sure it didn’t come back because I made sure it went down the drain.  But let this serve as a warning to all of you.  We should all be afraid because spiders have figured out how to play dead and if they have already figured out that then who knows what they will figure out next.  They could be coming up with new technology.  Before you know it we will be seeing spiders driving tiny tanks that shoot spider poison, or we’ll be attacked from above by spiders flying fighter planes!  So go ahead, laugh, but don’t say I didn’t warn you!

see I told you so

My Fifth Adventure

    Hi everyone!  Just so you know the blogging site I use doesn’t work with Internet explorer, if you use Firefox or Google Chrome it works better.  This week Jennifer and I gave Quinn a birthday party at Pine Lake Park.  Jennifer and I went to QFC to get streamers, cupcakes( the cupcakes had strawberry filling I must have eaten at least five or six), and Mango Peach juice, and a mango for Quinn. :)  Jennifer and I tried to hide and jump out and surprise her but I hid behind the picnic table so I think she saw me.  We also  choreographed the birthday song with The YMCA dance, the Chicken Dance, and the Macerena you can watch the video of it below.
      Then we climbed the rock wall by the swings and I got stuck twice even though the rock wall  was only seven feet tall.  After that we went on the swings and I had the bright idea of climbing into the baby swing ans I was just barely able to get out.  After the swings we walked up to QFC and bought Helium balloons at Carrousel by the QFC Starbucks. You can watch the video of Quinn and helium at the bottom of the page.

     Yesterday I made a Junk Food bracelet.  I made a hot dog, a pizza, a cheese burger, a cookie and some French fries for the bracelet and then two more hot dog beads for the matching earrings.
   Today I saw “Super 8”.  It was really scary!  I jumped every time someone got attacked by a monster. I don’t want to give too much away but the movie was the best scary movie I’ve EVER seen (also the only scary movie I’ve ever seen) My Favorite character was the kid with the explosives. HaHaHa!

My Fourth Adventure

Matthew holding up Mount Rainier

Hello everyone! Last week I went camping at Mount Rainier which is an active volcano.  The weather was warm and sunny most of the time and the only downside was the giant flying ants. YUCK! :P 

Box Canyon
On the first day we went on a nature walk at Box Canyon.  From the bridge that goes across Box Canyon it is 180 feet down to the surface of the water.  My brother is afraid of heights so as soon as he saw the big drop he ran away like a scared little girl.  Next we went to eat a picnic lunch near another hiking trail.  Strangely the one with the least bugs was the table that looked like it was the least used.  Next we went on the Silver Falls trail near our campsite and my dad wanted to go the long way that included a steep uphill climb, Ya thanks Dad.  In the middle of the hike we came to a huge waterfall which unfortunately for Michael also required us to cross a very tall bridge where you could see the raging river flowing through the cracks in between the boards.
 On the second day we went on The Grove on the Patriarchs trail to look at all the old trees and my parents made Michael and Matthew and I read EVERY SINGLE DESCRIPTION that they had along the trail to explain the different trees.  After that we went to the little town close to Mount Rainier called Packwood.  We stopped at the grocery store for paper towels and Reese's Peanut butter cups to use instead of regular chocolate with our smores (yumm!!)



haha short!!
a moraine

On the third day we went to a museum about everyone that climbed the mountian and the animals in the area.  Then we went up Mount Rainier to an area that was called “Paradise” ironically there was about 10 feet of snow on the ground and it was raining a little.  We went inside the visitor center (where obviously the weather was much nicer) to have apple cider and watch a movie about Mount Rainier.  On our way back to the campsite we stopped to take pictures of a moraine which is what is left over from the Nisqually Glassier. 

Kelsie catching snow
On the fourth day we went to Reflection lake except it didn’t really give off a reflection because it was still partially frozen, but we had a snowball fight and got really good pictures of Mount Rainier.  Then we went up to Sunrise to look at the visitor’s center but there wasn’t much there so we played in the snow instead.  Michael decided to try to slide down the ten foot mounds of snow on his feet so I took a video incase he fell but the only person that fell was me when I tried to slide down.  There was also a news reporter there from channel seven to talk about all the snow and he saw Michael sliding down and decided to use him in the news report.  Then we rode home listening to a song about…I think it was a color TV and a car?  The best part of coming back though was having teriyaki for dinner.  We get it from the teriyaki place by Safeway and order a feast of Pot stickers, noodles and beef.  Afterwards I took a shower for the first time in four days. Hooray for indoor plumbing!!  That’s all for now check back next week for my next adventure.

My Third Adventure


So last week I crashed on my bike and I landed mostly on my left leg.  I have cuts on my hip and a scrape on my knee and my ankle and I also tore some skin off of the palm of my hand.  The bicycle crash went something like this…

Moment 1: Hey going full speed on my bike down a steep concreet road and making a sharp turn onto a gravel trail sounds like a lot of fun I should try it.

Moment 2: Wow I’m going really fast maybe I should stop.

Moment 3: No I have to keep going but I’ll  put on the brakes anyway

Moment 4: Pshh forget the brakes It will be fine!

Moment 5: Wait I do need the brakes!

Moment 6: No I can do this I don’t need any brakes

Moment 7: YES I NEED THE BRAKES I’M GOING TO CRASH!!

Moment 8: I think I am airborne.

Moment 9: *slow mo action shot of me hitting the ground*

Moment 10: Help I have fallen and I can’t get up!

Afterwards my mom had to come to 7-eleven with me to clean up my leg in the employee sink and then get weird looks from the other customers.
