Power

Here is a poem I wrote about power:

Power is a mysterious thing

Sometimes we absolutely need it

And sometimes we only think we need it

There are some who will do anything

To have power over others

They feel like they can do whatever they like

To get other people to look up to them

If unnecessary violence takes place in order for someone to gain power

They shouldn’t have the right to have power

People with power should be people we can trust

Not people who are greedy and unpredictable

Sometimes a person will want power with all their heart

And when they finally get it, they realize it isn’t what they expected

This comes with the saying

Be careful what you wish for

The Power of Words

Costa Rica

I just got back from Costa Rica on the 21st! The trip was absolutely amazing and I really want to go back. Here are some pictures I took there. The pictures are: a capuchin monkey, a beautiful waterfall we hiked too, a coati, an exotic bird that I don't know the name of, and the largest hummingbird in the world.

Finished The Book Thief!

This book was so amazing! The writing was incredible, and even though there were some extremely hard parts, I am so glad I read it.

Christian the Lion

This is such an amazing story about friendship and love! It will make you happy every time you watch it!

City of Fallen Angels

This is a video of Cassandra Clare reading the first part of City of Fallen Angels!

Book I Am Reading

Hi everyone! One of the books I am currently reading is called The Book Thief. We are reading it in English class right not and it is about the Holocaust. This book is amazing! The writing is extremely good and even though the topic of the book is not a super happy one, the story is still very entertaining to read. I suggest you all buy it or rent it, and read it! :-)

School

Back in school! Sorry if I don't post for a while. Right now freezing rain is falling and icing the road. I'm crossing my fingers for a snow day tomorrow!

Barli!

Our dog Barli is a Sheltie and it is his instinct to herd whether it is animals or humans. In this video he is running around my cousins, sister and I as we movie around our grandparents house.

Harry Potter

The first part of Harry Potter came out last night!!! It was so awesome but I didn't want it to end! The end it at such a bad spot too. If you have't seen this movie you have to today!


There is this funny youtube video called Harry Potter Literal Trailer. I think it is hilarious! Here it is.

I don't know what to blog about...


I didn't change the font to this, the computer changed it and I don't know how to change it back.

Following

Hey! Sorry I couldn't post sooner, school has been taking up all my time! Thank you for commenting on posts! I really appreciate it and I would really like you to follow my blog. I will try to post more in the future! :-)

Arm Wrestling

I arm wrestled both of my parents today.  I won against my mom! And I almost won against my dad! It showed on my dad's face that he was really trying too. I didn't arm wrestle my sister, Larissa, because she is sick. I am happy because both my parents said I am really strong. :-)

School

School is starting tomorrow so I may not be able to post as often as I have been. I will post at least once a month and hopefully more. Here is a picture of an overlook of my school.

Amazing Liberty Work

I found this horse liberty work when I was on YouTube and I thought it was amazing! I am hoping to try some of this moves with Juniper in the future.

Juniper's First Lesson

I had my first lesson on Juniper on Sunday!  I had a lot of fun and my trainer really liked her! We worked on loosening her shoulders, and getting her to collect by pulling back and asking her to go forward instead of just vibrating our fingers. Her previous owner asked her to collect by vibrating her fingers, this is not the best way to collect a horse. Here are some pictures of me in my lesson. :-)

About Our Trip to Canada

We are back from our trip to canada. :-( 
We had so much fun! We drove up to Anacortes Washington and then took the ferry to Friday harbor which we stayed at a bed and breakfast for a night. On the way to Friday Harbor, the ferry made a stop at Lopez Island. While we were there, there was bald eagle just on the beach down to the right of the ferry. It was just fishing for minnows of the shore. A few minutes later a second bald eagle comes down to fish too. I took several pictures of them fishing and fighting over the fish. Here are some pictures I took.

When we got to Canada the next day, we drove to Victoria and stayed there at a Bed and Breakfast for two nights. The B&B was right by the ocean and Larissa and I had the best view out our window! We did not have time to go whale watching and I was sad we did not get to see any orcas. We say lots of seal though, and a red fox, we also saw an otter! My mom really wanted to see an otter. 


The day before we left we went to the famous Butchart Gardens! We saw so many flowers there! I also had my first real english tea with the tea tray and everything! Most of the things I didn't like, but the rest of it was good! I took over 300 pictures this trip, but I can't post all of them! Here are some pictures of the flowers we saw.

                                         

Canada

Our family is off to Canada tomorrow for the weekend. We are leaving really early tomorrow and coming back on Monday. We are staying at a bed and breakfast in Victoria. I have never been there and neither have my parents. We are not taking our dogs with us and our usually pet sitter is not going to be available so we are dropping them off at Sniff which is a hotel for dogs. It is a real hotel for dogs! They give massages, walks, play time, a TV in their room, and after four nights they give the dogs a free bath! Our dogs are going to have quite the experience. They are all going to sleep in the same room, and there room has windows so they can have the sun on them.


I will post pictures and write about our experience when I get back from the trip!
