Hummingbird with a Cranney's peanut

So, while the Cranneys were here we went to a Barbecue Restaurant. And Karl the Cranney's oldest son but not the oldest child made a man out of a peanut. He gave him hair and called him Billy Bob. The whole entire night we looked for Billy Bob. We even tried to force the words out of him by threatening to hide his Game Boy but he didn't say a single word he just smiled and screeched No, No, No. You will not take Billy Bob. Yesterday, Thursday the twenty fourth I was In my room and saw something out of the corner of my eye. I got it and it was Billy Bob. I had found him. We were going to Execute him today also video taping it so I can put his death On my blog. It will be glory.
The day before I found Billy Bob my mom was out of the house to go get my sister from school. I stayed home because Adana was asleep. I got a fruit snack and went into the Homeschool Room. I was sorting my fruit snacks out when a Redish-Orange Hummingbird. It sat for two seconds then flew away. I saw eat some nectar on my neighbor's tree. It was so cool. That also means that Spring is coming and Bad, Old, Cold Winter is leaving us.

A Great Blue Heron and Roller Hockey after

Hay. Last Friday my freind Chloe, my brother, and I went to the Friday Homeschool day at Camp Seymour. ( See-more ) It was outdoor survival day. We got to go to this little shelter and make our own fire and cook our lunch over a fire. While we were walking my brother spotted a huge bird. It was in the tidepools. Our leader said that that bird was a Great Blue Heron. It was amazing! We had a lot of fun at Camp Seymor that day. We went home and relaxed.

The next day I had Roller Hockey try-outs. It was so fun. My helmet hurt my head for a little while and I felt sick from the helmet pain but I had a lot of fun and played hard. My first Roller Hockey game is May 17. At my try-outs we split into groups and did scrimages. I scored 3 goals and made the only goals on my team. If I passed to my team mates they would dribble it a little then hit it away from them so that they wouldn't have to face the tackle of the other team. The other team scored one goal.

That was one awesome Weekend.

CRANNEYS!!!!!!!

Hi, on Friday the 11 of April the Cranneys came over for 5 days. The Cranneys are our good friends from Turkey. When we moved here to Bainbridge Island, the Cranneys moved to Spokane. They bought a house in Spokane and lived in it for 8 months, then brother Cranney said: Um, yah. I found a job in England that's on the military were moving to England. Yep.

So they said they were going to get here Thursday, April 11 but then they called us saying hey the movers said they weren't going to be done until Thursday so were coming up Friday. I FLIPPED! Finally the Cranneys got here but they didn't have their Visa's that would get them into England. Finally, on the last day they were here their Visa's came. Again I FLIPPED!

They left Wednsday morning at 6:45 A.M. Bye, Bye Cranneys! WAH, WAH, WAH, WAH, WAH, SNIFF!!!

Bald Eagles

Hi again, I'm making up for that long time that I haven't posted. Well, yesterday was my first day of school since spring break. My mom assigned me a subject and since I finished my Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day book my mom has been assigning me projects and stuff and yesterday my first one began. It was pick a bird and find 2 websites and 2 books to learn and write about. Instead of 2 I got like 10. The bird I picked was Bald Eagle. They are truly fascinating creatures. I love them. I see at least 2 Bald Eagles a month. Baldies are types of Raptors. Raptor is another word for Bird of Prey. They aren't the only birds of prey, like Robins eat worms, some other birds eat insects flying through the sky. Raptors eat mainly fish. Sometimes an Osprey or other Raptor when they are trying to catch a fish that weighs to much will put the bird down because they don't know that it weighs too much so the bird will hold on and drown. Raptors also eat mice, dead animals, rabbits, also mountain sheep, and e.t.c. Eagles have very good eyesite. A Bald Eagle can see over a couple of miles and plan it's catch. A Bald Eagle's nest is found on big live pine trees and on ledges. They can weigh up to a couple of cars. A Baldies nest becomes huge because the nest they build they use that same nest for years repairing it and adding onto it. A Bald Eagles nest can become 15 feet wide and 20 feet deep.(Thats taller than a house.)

While I was in St. George, Utah

Hi, sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've been really busy. I just got home from St. George, UT because I was visiting my relatives. While I was in Utah I kept seeing the same bird of prey like there would be two of them flying over a mountain that we drove by but the most fascinating times I saw it was when my brother and I were driving home with my grandpa. We were in the desert and all of a sudden I see a little speck over a mountain and it was just going around in circles and not flapping any wings so I thought it wasn't a bird. It was a bird though because it was going in circles getting lift ecah time it completed a circle so it had no need to flap any wings. When we were going down the mountains hill another one of those birds were following us by gliding with the wind getting lift every once and a while so again it had no need to flap its wings. Another time my mom, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, both sisters, my brother, and I went on a hike to the petrigliphs. While we were there we saw a jack rabbit. I just got a little glimps of it running away when I got to the bottom of the mountain. There were also these little birds about as big as a finch they had white all over their back and pink on their bellie. I also saw these two birds that didn't fly away from us in the car it ran on the street all the way to the sidewalk.

Indian Tribe

Hey geuss what. Ok, I'll tell you. For scouts I went to Chief Seattle's grave. We learned a lot about him. Seattle was named after him because he fought there to help the people in Seattle. He was the Chief of the Suqamish tribe. I saw his grave too. The grave had a rusted lighter and a lit bottle rocket. At one grave there were some beer bottles. At that grave yard there was a grave outlined by wood and in the middle of it there was a tall grave stone. I went to see what it was, and saw that the man that was buried there died at 101 years old and he was the last chief of the Suqamish tribe. On a grave, a person died at age 18.(sad huh.) We also went to a house that the tribe made called the "Long House" and the "Old Man House". They built that it by Agate Passage bridge but now it is gone. They are going to build a copy. My friend John said "I hate copies".
His mom, the Wolf den leader, said "John thats not nice".
Then John said "Well it's true, the real thing is better than the fake one".
Suqamish also mean clear salt water so when you look at the Agate Passage you can see that the water is crystal clear.

Long live Chief Seattle

Steller Jay

Hay, a couple of days ago I told my mom that I need something to blog about so I'm going to go birding. The day before the day I was going birding I was walking home from art and saw all of these birds it looked like half Blue Jay half Crow and half Cardinal. I was puzzled. The next day I went I went birding the next day and went up to that neighborhood and to my surprise I found it. I recorded about than went home and looked it up it was a Stellers Jay. I than typed up about it after I ate my Sloppy Joe. Also last Friday I was at a Camp Seymour and we saw a Bald Eagle carrying a stick. Also I've seen a Blue Jay in our yard and a something that looked like a Red-Tailed Hawk in our backyard but those were seen about a year ago.
