Finals are over... Oh, and T-minus 5 days

  Well everyone, now that finals are over, I can post. Not much has really happened, but probably the most interesting thing that happened to me was that Dick's sporting goods sent me the wrong color bodyboard. We called only to find out that they didn't have the color that they displayed on the website. So we returned it and then I ordered another one from Target. So today, Tuesday, my smashballs came in, and we are going to try them when it cools off a little later. And, we are thinking about setting up a smashball tournament, so more news should be coming your way very soon.

    As for me? Well, I'm done with 6th grade now, but I have to go to school Friday to get my report card and other stuff too. So now I can sleep late and relax and play all day long! Yahoo!
  And there's 5 more days until the trip, so I plan to pack Thursday.

     And also, dad said that the roads and the beach are going to be busy this weekend because of Memorial Day. So pray that we don't get stuck in traffic, or even worse, a wreck, on our way to Alabama.

T-minus 13 days

Well, to all of you moms out there, Happy Mother's Day!
   Today I went shopping at Sears for a Smashball set, an awesome beach game that I want to try when we go on vacation. If you want to know what Smashball looks like, take a look at the video below.

And here's what a Smashball set looks like up close. 
Anyway, we didn't find it and so I'm going to order it online. I need to get mom to tape us playing so we can post it on the blog. :)

T-minus 14 days!

Woohoo! Two weeks exactly until we head to Orange Beach for vacation! I am so excited and I'm going on a Summer shopping trip to go on vacation next weekend.
  So what happened today? Well, today I drove to NOLA to pick up Callie from Tulane. She's going to be home for the Summer, but tomorrow she's leaving with her friend Chloe to go to the beach for a week. And after I drove back from New Orleans, I helped unload all of Callie's junk and got in my swimsuit and went to an end-of-the-season swim party at Andrew's house and got our trophies. Tryouts are next week, so pray for me and wish me luck.
  This was the first installment in a series I'm going to call T-minus. It tells about what I did every day to prepare for vacation. And, I'm still exploring the quirks of the blog and fixing any bugs. That's me, your computer expert, on call 24/7/365. I'll post any necessary instruction videos in case we need them.

New Bodyboard for Vaca!

Hey everyone,
    I just ordered a new bodyboard for my vacation! Check it out!


Wave Rebel Shoreline Bodyboard - Dick's Sporting Goodscool, right?

Hope you like it!

Welcome back to my newest blog!

  Hello again!
               I am returning to my blog and this time I'm posting on my vacation to Orange Beach, Alabama. I can already guarantee you this is going to be the best blog yet. We leave the day after awards day at my school, so I can countdown the days not only to Summer vacation but also my trip to Orange Beach. So I'm sooooooooo excited about that, but in the meantime I have to study for final exams next week. (Boooooooooooo!) So of course I'm counting down the days. This vacation is going to be sooo much fun! I cant wait! We're going to go parasailing, go to amusement and water parks, grill every night, relax in a hot tub, play in the pool, lounge in the lazy river, and, of course, make sandcastles on the beach. What is better than that?! So I hope that you'll tune in to my new blog. And if you are hungry for more info, head to www.turquoiseplace.spectrumresorts.com. We are staying in the 3 Bdrm Jade Resort. And as followers, I'm going to need you guys to forward the news about my blog to everyone who might be interested, and recruit them to become followers too. It helps me to know who is really watching the blog so I know who my audience is and who I'm broadcasting too. And I'm serious! Really do forward the blog to others. You guys never did that for my CSC blog and I only got 1 follower, Nan Carol!

 Happy Reading!
