Level 2 swimming lessons at Martin K. Snook pool 2010

In late July 2010 I had swimming lessons at Martin K. Snook pool. I was in level 2. My teachers were Mrs. Linsey and Mrs. Brooke. I had lots of fun. Me and Cooper's shallow end(Cooper is in level 1 and Parker is in 3-year old level)are 3 foot 6. Parker's shallow is two feet. Y'wanna know why I know that? Because on the sides of the pool it says how deep it is. We work on our front glides and back glides, diving for rings...and other stuff too. We go to deep end where it's ten foot six and do seeded dives and safety jumps. I love the diving board thats twelve feet which is the deepest the pool gets. I like the water slide too. The water slide is four foot four. When I got my certicafate I saw I passed Level 2. Cooper passed level one and Parker is moving on to Coop's class. We ALL had fun. PS the only person in my class that I knew was Charlie.

Baltimore science center

It was lots of fun when we went to the Baltimore science center. First we went to eat our lunch. I forget what it was called but I got pepperoni pizza at a pretty cheep price. I had regular milk to drink. And so then we went to Level 2. We saw real clouds up close. It was like air. I could'nt feel it either. We walked twenty feet forwards to play tug of war. The first two times just only Parker. He's only three years old but man, he... Strong. Powerful. Good. Can really pull. I'm very strong too. But both times I barely even won. Then I played Cooper twice. Beat him once, he beat me once. Then I played against Parker and Dad. Dad is super duper, DUPER strong. But... I beat em'. Then Iplayed Dad and had it a half a centermeter to my side for the win but Dad pulled it back and I lost. I even went over to see how a earthquake formed. Later we went up another story, there is five story's I think. But we played Solar system jeopordy and watched a video on the moon. We did lots of other stuff too but it probaly would be a lot to much to put it all on this post.

Recap: Redskins vs Titans

At the beggining of the Titans first drive, the Redskins defense held strong, forcing a fumble and recovering it. Although, on Tennesee's next drive they scored a touchdown. But Washington tied the game up 7-7 with a touchdown of their own. The score was 10-7 Redskins at halftime. Donavan McNabb had passed for 171 passing yards by the time. With the score all tied 16-16, Redskins kicker #4 Graham Gano lined up for a 47 yard field goal on the last play, but the goal was no good, so they went into overtime. Tennesee won the coin toss, but cornerback #23 Deangalo Hall intercepted a pass, leading the Redskins to another field goal, this time from 48 yards. "Yyyyaaaaa!'" It was good! 5-5 Washington Redskins 19 6-4 Tennesee Titans 16.

All about the July 4th

On July 4th 2010 it was Sunday and I went to Nena & Big Daddy's house. We got our Suntan lotion on and got in the swimming pool. It felt good-fresh and chill, perhaps about 83 degrees. I can actully touch flat on my feet in the 3 foot shallow water. And then we bring you to the deep water. Of course I can't touch at all. It's like six and a half feet deep. Sure, that's bigger than three feet. Each foot equals twelve inches tall. I already knew this but the pool also has a basketball hoop,two basketballs, 5 maxluiqudator water guns, 4 or 5 splash bomb balls, 6 boats, a toy alligator, a beachball, 3 volleyballs or somthing, 2 sticky tennis rackets, a tennis ball,a purple/violet kickboard and 5 diving rings. My baby cousin Addison, Uncle Chris, and Aunt Suize came too. After we got out of the pool, we ate dinner and I had Black Rasberry ice cream topped with Hershey's choclate syrup. It tasted yummy. And then after that we got back in the pool for about 2 hours. Then we caught fire flys, we got 5. At about 9:15 we went up on the porch to watch the fireworks. They were cool ones. Different colors. And the grand finale was awesome. It was better when I saw the grand finale.

Ocean city

In August 2009, we went to Ocean City, Maryland. We stayed for 5 days. And defintly, to make a long story short, I loved the ocean waves and Candy Kitchen. We stayed at Burgundy Inn Hotel.
