Camping at Fron Sight

Hey, it's Bella. I wanted to tell you about my camping experience. My dad was taking a course at a camp called Front Sight, he was shooting there, and heard there was going to be a kids class. So he singed us up, it was in the middle of a desert. My dad, Erin, and I all went. We also brought the dogs. it was great we got to do ropes, shooting, hiking,and got to go in an under ground tunnel. The ropes were so much fun to do, we got to walk across a canyon on a wire with a few ropes, and rock climb. I shot a Glock, and got three bulls eyes, Erin shot it too. Erin shot a Oozy, so did I at one point. the hiking was fun we learned how to make sings so people could find us if we got lost. We hiked for a long time, so we had to drink a lot of water. the under ground tunnel was fun, their were different tunnels. The instructors let everybody explore. Erin and I made some really nice friends there, so that made it all the more fun. The most boring part was when the instructors gave lectures. I thought I was going to fall asleep when they gave three in a row. My friend did fall asleep. I was sad when the last day came and I had to go home. In all I had a fun camping trip.

my trip to Disneyland,

It's me Bella, and I though you should know about my trip to Disneyland when I was 11, the best part was we didn't pay a penny to go cause we did volunteer work and got free passes in. I was exited to get in because my parents were not going to go this year, but my mom found these passes into Disneyland if we did volunteer work for two hours. When we got to Disneyland people like us had pines that said they were volunteers. We also heard of a volunteer parade just for the volunteers and I would get to ride on a float. When we asked the float man to Singh up he said there was three spots left and there was three of us my dad didn't want to go. We learned we would be riding in a limo and waving I met a guy named Nicolas he was well mannered and nice. After we rode, they setup a separate parade just for the volunteers it was sweet. It was midnight and at midnight fireworks come out and Disneyland closes up. It was an amazing experience. ttfn ta ta for now.

Our cat,

Hi, It's me Bella I wanted to tell you about a cat that my sister and my friend Emma and I caught. It all started one day when Emma Erin and I were wanting to catch a cat because we saw one roaming in the grass many times, and Emma had some cat traps so we decided to catch it. Over night we were all so exited to see if it would work. But the problem was that the trap was for catching skunks not cats. We didn't give up hope, the next morning we were all skipping along the trail and looked in the trap and.... you will never believe what we found a cat a real live cat I was so exited so were they. We took it home and know we had to think of a name for him we first looked if it was a he or a she and it was a he cat so we named him Romeo since he loved to rome around. He mostly stayed in the barn at are house since Emma has for cats she owns. We fed  Romeo and kept him in the barn and let him out in a pend area. But since he was wild he had to have freedom, so when he stared to like us enough we let him loose and he would come back after a day or two and sometimes he followed us to school. after he found out how to get to our school he started hanging out there and he would meow and meow for a good fifteen minutes or two. Sometimes we had to leave school to take him home. Know we had a problem since he was wondering around we had to get him neutered and I did not have extra money to give, but Emma did and Romeo also had to get his vacc cause if we wanted to keep him we had to make sure if he scratched us we would be OK. So since Emma had so much money she wanted just her to own Romeo. Erin and I did not want her to, but it was for the best, it was a choice but a hard one. As the weeks go by Erin and I still visited Romeo. Early one morning we all decided to go to a horse show in Calgary and we stayed in a hotel for three nights and when we came back Romeo was gone the cioties killed him....

Day at the Museum

Hi, it’s Erin speaking. Yesterday, Bella and I went to the museum. But first we got on a train and rode it to the museum. It took a half hour. When we finally arrived, we got free passes, because the first Monday of each month, everyone gets in free. So we went up stairs and first we learned about coal. Did you know that trees get buried under ground and get cut off from oxygen? And that is where coal comes from. Next, we went in to the skeleton room. And saw a bunch of skeletons from different animals. Like the wooly mammoth, buffalo, saber tooth tiger, and the horse. One of the interesting things I thought about the horse was that it was that it started out with little fingers but over time, it got hooves. There was also some stuff that felt like sand. And Bella and I built a dam with it, and mine was stronger. Well, it held up longer, but eventually it broke. Then we learned about the Anastasians, and that it took 500 man hours to build one model of one of their houses. Bella and I thought it was pretty cool. Then we saw a lady that talked about how the Anastasias would make knives with rocks, and how they made clothes, and lots of stuff then we went down to the dinosaur exhibit. And saw skeletons of dinosaurs. Then we went in to a dark scary cave and something popped up in front of me and I screamed. So we left and we took a train to the library and it was 7 stories high.  Because it had a few stores in it, so I call it a mini-mall. Then we took a train back home. -Erin

the train and museum

Hi, it's Bella. Yesterday, I had my first train ride. It was great.

My Dad wanted to take me and Erin to the Museum of Natural History. So he asked if we wanted to take the train, and we said yes. So Erin and I got a backpack and packed cookies, sandwiches and water. Then finally, we got on the train - it was amazing. It was one hour before we reached the museum. It was a two story high museum on the University of Utah campus. I learned about the Anasazi People, we also went to a booth where a lady talked about a lot of interesting stuff. She showed us a scale model of an Anasazi dwelling (check out all the pictures at that link) that took five hundred man hours to make. Then we ate lunch outside, then we went back in the museum and saw the dinosaur exhibit. We also looked at skeletons of a saber tooth tiger. Then, we saw a skeleton of a mini-horse, smaller then a donkey. It was cool. We also learned about coal. Did you know that coal came from trees? The trees would get buried in the ground and lose moisture, and oxygen and get compressed, and eventually, turn into coal. We also got to make an earthquake - you had to stomp on the x to make a vibration that was registered by a seismogram - some sensitive equipment that measures vibrations and tracks earthquakes. Then we got back on the train and went to the library - 5 stories high, the biggest I had ever seen. It was kind of like a mini-mall. It was super cool so we all looked at a few books. Then we had to go home. We were all tired. That was the time I went on a train for the first time.  -Bella

Swimming

Hi, I just want to tell you I went swimming with my friends and my sister. It was a blast, there was a play ground in the pool and a whirlpool. It also had a waterslide. We played water tag, water chase, and we relaxed . We also played Marko Polo. That was fun. Then we had to go. So we went and got in a nice hot shower then put are clothes on and went to our friend's house. Then we went home.

Flicka my book

Hi again. I'm reading a book called Flicka. It's about a girl in school and she owns a mountin ranch. She day dreames adout the horses on it and can not focus. It gets her in troudle at school. So when she gets back to the ranch she is so happy she takes a walk and sees a mountin lion.  but no one can hear her scream. Then a wild stallon comes to her rescue and scares the lion off.

Well, I will write more when I read more.

Blue Pictures

Today, we wanted to put a nice picture of Bella on the blog. So we used the Olympus Stylus 760 in the office. We had pretty good light, but the flash went off anyway. The picture looked very blue.... awful.
Then we tried again, after disabling the flash. Here are the results.

Before and after. As you can see, the one without the flash cam out much better.

Good boy....

Here are some cute pictures of our dog, Shadow. He is a long-haired dachshund, we call him a sausage.
Enjoy!
