MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY

I have not written on my blog for a long time (sorry!) I have been moving.

Today is my little brother's "Gotcha Day". A "gotcha day" is the day that we "got" Ben. Today has been three years since Benjamin came to be a Galyean. We got him a Little Einstein's laptop to play with. We plan to play Blue's Clues to find it. He loves Blue's Clues. We also give him a little something from Guatemala every year. When we were in Guatemala we bought stuff to give him each year for 18 years.

I had to move away from my friends when we moved and I was very sad. So, we keep in contact by phone. That's really nice that we still get to talk to each other. Maybe someday I'll get to go visit them. We also like to talk about Lego Star Wars II. They told me to take a picture of myself with a blank background. I took the picture and sent it to them. When they sent it back, this is what I saw:

Pretty cool, huh?

The Battleship North Carolina and more

I went to the beach (Wrightsville---named after the Wright Brother!!!) and we had a very good time. I also went to see the Battleship U.S.S. North Carolina. It was in Wilmington. I learned that it was actually sunk, but they pulled it out. They had lots of neat stuff on the ship like ice cream, a bakery, and even a barber shop. They did the laundry in their "skivies" (undergarments) because it was so hot in the belly of the ship. You could actually go into some of the big guns and then some of the small guns you could put your hands on. The ship is from WWII. Here is a slideshow of our trip.

This video is about a author tour. Katie (one of my sister) is in a contest for Bryan Davis who is one of the authors.

Hi! My family and I just recently moved from the mountains to Elizabethtown----- FLATLANDS!!! I have been missing my friends, but I am still going to be able to see them. I have been going to the lake. The lake is very nice. The longest dock is pretty big. When you jump off, it is 5 feet or deeper. There is a bit of algae in the water because the lake is so clear. The sun hits the bottom of the lake and makes the plants grow. Then, the jet skis come through and chop it up and so sometimes you may see chopped up algae in the water. Otherwise, the lake is really cool.

Recently, we rented a movie: "Ghostbusters". It is a very cool movie (except for a few ugly words). It's kind of old.

It has been raining a lot today. My mom and my sister and my little brother went to the grocery store. When they came home, it began pouring. By the time we finished our lunch, we had a lake in our yard!!!! Here are some photos.

My mom let me get my trunks on and go out in the yard for a photo.

You can see we had about 3 inches of water in the yard. It was amazing!

I'll write more tomorrow. I hope that you check my blog often and leave comments.
