Boston Marathon

The Boston Marathon was SOOOOO FUN because it was my first time watching it, (etc). But I wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for my Mom and my Uncle. We were at my cousin's house for Easter, and my cousin and I had to do a lot of convincing. Sylvia (My cousin) kept the notes we wrote to them for Thanksgiving! And on the note my Mom wrote to us maybe in the Spring of 2014 we could have a sleepover. So that proved to my Mom that she had wrote it, and we could have a sleepover. When my family left my Mom said to me "Dad and Flynn will meet you guys at the marathon." I responded "Okay!"

 So I slept over Easter night, and in the morning we got dressed, and we watched part of a movie we had started the  last night, and soon it was time to go to the marathon. We packed sunscreen, LOTS of food, a game, and blankets. They lived in Maynard, and we had go to Newton, so it took a little while, but not too long.

When we got there we unpacked everything, and their Grammy and Grandpy  there on the other side were there, and 2 other cousins. Everybody set stuff out, and we just talked with family members. It was VERY fun!!! First, there were just army women and men walking, and police with their motorcycles, and cars. We cheered them on. Then I noticed that my Dad and my brother were right behind me. I was shocked for a second. They had brought a lot of stuff like food, and coats. Finally, the marathon began.

YYYYYYAAAAAYYYYY!!!!! Some runners came through. I heard screams from all around. I was so EXCITED! First, the wheelchair athletes came through. They were sweating, and really tired, and working very hard. We cheered so much for them! Second, the women runners came through. I remember the first 2 women: The first girl was Rita Jeptoo, and the second girl was Shalane Flanagan. Shalane was actually from Marblehead! Rita was a 33 year old women from Kenya. They were so fast! I could tell that they were working so hard also. Third, all of the men were running past us. Zoom! They also were running very fast. I remember the first guy: His name was Meb Keflezighi. Meb was 38. The whole group of men were very fast. After, other men and other women were running. That's when we started giving out waters.

Sometimes they were running so fast that when they got the water out of somebody's hand, and it would just drop. And sometimes the people would tell you to splash/throw the water on them. We brought 10 gallons of water, and we ran out! So then we started giving out oranges. And that went good too. Some of my cousins put them on a plate, but I didn't. Eventually, we ran out of those! After that, my Dad told me that after my aunt came by, we would leave. I said "Okay" in kind of a sad voice, because we were going to leave all of the fun! Soon enough, my aunt came by. We both said "Hi" to each other. P.S. I'm the girl who's wearing a hat in the picture.

Then we started packing our stuff up, saying good bye, and walking to the car. My Dad really wanted a drink so he said we would have to go to a store to buy him a drink on the way home, but there was a lemonade stand, and the lemonade was only $.50. So we bought that.

When we got home I found out the winners: 1st place winner for the men was Meb Keflezighi who finished in 2:08:37, the first place winner for the women was Rita Jeptoo who finished in 2:18:57, but Shalane Flanagan came in 7th place. For the wheelchair athletes the 1st place winner for the women was Tatyana McFadden who finished in 1:35:06, and 1st place winner for the wheelchair athletes for the men was Ernst Van Dyk who finished in 1:20:36. They all did really good!

And that was the time of my life.

Movie Review 5: RIO2

RIO2 was a way better movie than RIO, the first one. I'll tell you 4 of my favorite parts. One was when the some of the blue birds played a soccer game with some of the red birds. We wanted the blue birds to win, but unfortunately they lost. But it was so cool because I love soccer and there was a scene on it, and they made the birds ave so much talent in the "bird soccer game." Another one of my favorite parts was when the husband blue bird was on his GPS trying to find Linda and Tolio which were his old owners, and the lady said searching for dinner in Tokyo! My 3rd  favorite part was when they moved to the Amazon Rainforest, and they met this other blue bird. Their family thought that they were the only blue birds in the world. The bird they met had the voice of Bruno Mars. (Really good singer). He showed them his house that he made last minute for them. It was pretty good though. My last favorite part was when they got in a house, and they were pretty much acting like people! They were making pancakes, watching T.V., and sitting at a table eating breakfeast! They had no shelter so that's

where they went. So as you can tell, this was a very good movie. Kids will like it a lot, and adults will like it to!

Movie Reveiw 4: Mr. Peabody and Sherman

This movie was AWESOME!!! So this dog adopted Sherman, and he has an awesome life. They have this thing called the way back, and you take a elevator to it. It's this big red circle. If you just type in where you want to go, it will take you there. You can go in the future, or the past, but if you go in the future, there would be 2 of you! In the way back, they have been to Egypt, and some other places. Mr. Peabody and Sherman are smart, and make a good team. Another thing in the movie is that Mr. Peabody invites a girl's family that is in Sherman's class, but Sherman hates her. It goes  interesting. People wonder how Sherman is so smart, so Sherman has to make some stuff up. But when Penny Peterson is in his room, she asks him a few questions, and he answers them all right. She said "How do you know all of that?" He mumbled "In the way back." Then he showed her the way back, and they went to a place. Sherman was very guilty because Mr.Peabody said to NEVER show anybody the way back. They meet really cool people, like: Leonardo De Vinci, and Mona Lisa.Well, I am not going to tell you the whole movie, so if you want to find out more go see it!!

New Season of Soccer

My new season in soccer is going well, and a couple of days ago was my first practice. I switched teams this year, from the white team, to the green team. But whats better about it now, is that I am on Amanda's team. (My friend's team). I am really excited for this new season, because I love soccer. Every year, you get a new I think professional coach, to teach you a little bit, but you're coach still teaches you too. Plus, my friend's Dad is the coach now, and he is very nice! Practices are awesome. what makes it awesome, is that I get to go with my friend to practice with her Dad. My goal for this year, is to at least get 1 goal in the whole season, because last year when I was on the white team, I didn't score a goal fro the whole season. But I'm kind of sad because my old coach was so nice too!




What's weird about the t-shirts, is that they are a adults small! Every game we play a new team, but in the whole season, we play each team 2 times. We played the Yellow Highlighters on Saturday for the game. Every Saturday we play a game. And we started our season off well! We won the game 1-0!! I was sweeper 4 times, and I kicked some balls that went like 4 feet above everyone's head! We have this thing on our team called sweeper and stopper, instead of no defense. It was EPIC!!!!! Well we started our season off great, so stay tuned for the next post!!

Movie Review 3: Muppets Most Wanted

This was a great movie. As you probably know the first Muppets movie was really good, so you would think this second one is really good. And if thought that, you are correct✔. The Muppets go on this world tour, and they had just hired their new manager Dominic Badguy. Dominic says it pronounced (BAD-jee). But in the movie Dominic does very bad things, so that's why his name is Dominic Badguy, instead of BAD- jee. There are 2 Kermits, one is named Constantine, and than other one is just the regular Kermit. The Constantine Kermit, has a mole, and the 2 Kermits get mixed up, because Constantine puts a glue on mole on the real Kermit's face, so nobody can tell them apart and the real Kermit cant really go on the world tour. But there is a way to get them all back together, but you have to see it to find out what happens!! Plus, Constantine has a different voice, and Constantine put this green paint to cover up his mole! And Constantine's voice sounds nothing like Kermit, but the Muppets think it the real Kermit!1and it sounds nothing like Kermit, but the Muppets think its the real Kermit! Hard to believe right!? Dominic, and Constantine make so much mischief!! If you want to see what happens, you have got to see the movie!!!!

P.S. Tina Fey is in it.
