      State Fair
      Allen, Zachary, Maria, and I went to the state fair yesterday with Mary and Luke Hovee, Mary and Joe Ray, and Grace Hanson. It was soo much fun!!! :) We got the braclets for $16 that let you go on all the rides you want from noon till 8:00 p.m. We went on tons of rides for about five hours (from like 3-8) and had so much fun! The first ride we went on was this big circle thing called the fire ball that you went upsidown on. It was pretty scary. I closed my eyes almost the whole time! ;-) We went on that one again later, too. There was this other ride also called the fire ball that I loved! It was my favorite and I went on it three times! The last time we went on it was the very end. It was our very last ride and only Mary Hovee, Mary Ray, Allen, Grace, and I went on it. At the end, Mary Ray almost puked and everyone else was looking pretty miserable. I had fun, though! And they all blame me! Hehe. Oh well. We also went on the carousel(sp?) and the faris wheel. Oh and there was this one calles the Star 2000 or something. It was kind of cool. It was all enclosed and you went round and round super fast so that you stuck to the wall! When we went on the for the 2nd time, everyone felt horrible after it. I guess that was a not-so-bright decission. But everyone still had a blast! We went on tons of other fun and scary rides. We went on this water slide they had about five times. It wasn't scary at all, but it really cooled you off. There was this sign that said, "Have fun on the water ride, and remember: you will get wet!" By the end of the day, my feet were so wrinkled and wet that they hurt! But the whole day was definitely worth it. There were also these little kid playhouse things that we went on. It was fun cuz we were just like, "Oh no! We're going to die! This is so scary!" on all the little kid rides. We figured we might as well use all of our $16! Oh and there was this booth called "Fool the Guesser". The person could guess your age (within two years), your weight (within 3 pounds), or your birth month (within 3 months). Joe did it and with his beard, the guy guessed 19! Allen did the weight thing and they guessed 135 pounds! So Joe got this cool Spiderman 2 picture, and Allen got this blow up spiderman thing. Well, this is already really long, and if I tried to tell you all the things we did it would last way to long. :-)

      Sit-ups

      If any of you did not read on Anna's blog, she did 1000 sit-ups yesterday!!!!! No, she's not paying me to do this, I just feel like a whimp at my high total of 125. I know, I know it's not impressive at ALL, but hey, I've only been doing it three days and I'm still building up! ;-) I could do more, I just don't want to do a ton and then be really sore. I want to gradually get higher! So you're not allowed to make fun of me yet! :-D

      The Olympics

      I don't watch all of the Olympics, but I enjoy a lot of it. Last night and the night before I watched the gymnastics. It was really cool. Last night, there was this guy from the U.S (I forget his name) and everyone was saying he was going to win the gold. But he messed up really, really badly. After that they said if he did really well on his next one he could get the bronze. Well, he ended up doing incredibly well and won the gold! It was soo cool! :)

      Verse of the Day:
      "Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report; if there is an virtue, and if there be anything praise worthy, dwell on these things."

      ~Philippians 4:8~

      Song of the Day:

      "We are the Champions"(for those of you who went on the bike trip to Calvin!)

      Quote of the Day:

      "If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be one hundred minus one so I never have to live without you."

      ~Winnie the Pooh~

      For some odd reason, every time I press enter on the keyboard, it makes it two spaces down. At least it's not as bad as the Pulliam's was a while ago! ;-)
