Camp J.O.L.T.

What is the worst thing a mom could ask for? Probably seeing her son going away for three days straight with a PEANUT ALLERGY! Well I'm proud of my mom, because she probably cried a lot less than other people.



Camp Jolt (Journey on Lake Texoma) is filled with an all you can eat buffet (I have tasted better food but it was good), a 35 foot high zipline (no place for people scared of heights), and lots of hiking

Howlin' at the Great Wolf Logde

Why waste your money on candy for other people to eat? Why waste your money on costumes in the first place? Why even waste your money on gory Halloween decorations? Why not go to the Great Wolf Lodge instead?

The G.W Lodge is the perfect place to go to escape the rotting of teeth on holidays like 10-31. It's complete with a hot tub, lazy river, play set, wave pool, and water slides like the Howlin' Tornado and the Toilet Tube. The next paragraph will explain each one of the slides listed above.


Howlin' Tornado: It starts out with a four person raft. Minimum people:2 Main Sections: Drop off that leads to a bin were your raft slides around.

Toilet Tube: On this one you use a two or one person raft that drops at about a 40 degree angle into a bowl where you spin around.

A Stuffed Animal Reunion

As everybody knows, General Conference was on this week. (Was anyone at the Conference Center?)

I know most of you have probably grown out of teddy bears, etc. Well, I am sort of to, but today was different.

Impressive, isn't it? Zach helped a lot to.

My brother, the Hacker

Most of the time my brother (whose name I won't mention for his own good) and I get along pretty good together. My dad has a Pocket PC and we share it, but sometimes, I really think I could use my own computer.

One day, I was deciding to check out my files and all and make sure no one deleted anything, etc. I'm not saying he isn't a bad kid, but as I looked at one of my Word documents something caught my eye. Most of the font had been cranked up to size 36. It was easy to fix and he promised never to do it again, but I'm afraid someone else might do it again. So could someone tell me how to password all my stuf? :)

Another Successful Scout Camp





Scout Camp this year in Texas was a little different that my years before. My mom would blog all about them since I didn't have a blog. (By the way, check out my mom's blog to learn a little more about camp in AZ.) What's even more different is something you'll have your opinion on.










Key: The picture to the right was this year and the picture on the left was from last year.

Anyway, even with the changes, we still had a fun time. The camp was from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm for four days. On the fifth day, we all CAMPED out. And this was for Webelos. Usually campouts are for BOY SCOUTS only. Anyway, on the night of the campout, we were awake (all the boys slept in one tent and the dads slept in some different ones) 'till 1 am telling jokes and stories all night long. And the next day, there was fun [and heat] galore with a rock wall the size of your house; maybe bigger. it was definatly a fun time for everyone.


We even got a few good snapshots of this place. Let's take a look:

Alta

There are many things that are great about Utah. Some are Temple Square, the Tabernacle, the Seagull Monument, etc. But the best part of all can be Alta. Alta is a fantastic ski resort where snowboarding is outlawed. It is the place with the best place with the best snow. That is exactly why we went there. While Zach was taking lessons with dad, I went down to a part with the rope lifts. They are basically ropes that you hang onto.They can pull you to different parts of the resort. Sounds easy, right? I will warn all of you: never use these. They only result in more hardships. After finally getting out, (with the help of my good ol' dad), we decided never to do that again. We all had a great time on the slopes. Then came the hardest challenge of the day. Supreme. We took the easiest way down and returned at the bottom with no broken bones. That was a great relief! Here is a picture of us at the top of the world.

The kid in the red is me. Am I looking good?

WANTED!

Now that you know about all the ideas, I need some people to help to get them up and running. I need adults to help. So, I am offering $200,000 dollars, (I'm joking), for some special helpers to help me. I would prefer them to be alive.

Three Sports, Three Brothers, One Room

What do you get when you get when you combine basketball, wrestling, and dodgeball together? Easy. Zachary Ball, Benjamin Ball, and Nicholas Ball. It's a combination of hitting, kicking, and/or throwing a small, mediom, and/or large ball. It really is fun, until someone gets hurt. (Parents, please consider these new sports before taking part in them. I don't have the money to pay any hospital bills.)

Mom's Crepes


Tonight is the night. Crepe night. Of course the cook is my beloved mom. Her crepes are better than seeing comments posted about your blog. (It can be quite satisfying to see comments on blogs. I mean it. :)
