Today was a very laid back day. We got up this morning and ate breakfast then did work. After that we laid by and played in the pool for the rest of the day until supper, which was awesome. It was chicken, baked potatoes and the stems of broccoli, mmmmmmm. Oh and while we were by the pool we saw more hummingbirds and figured out what the vultures we saw and saw again today are called, turkey vultures. Then we went for a nice walk around the lake that is by the Estrella Mountain ranch community center. On the walk we saw lots of dead fish, yuk! After that 2.48 kilometer walk around the lake we drove over to the new developments by ours and saw only a handful of houses. Then we drove home which brings us to now watching TV.

i just saw something very interesting on the news that I have to write about. As I was walking inside from playing in the pool I looked at the TV the news was on. The story on the news was that there is a new law that hasn't been set by the governor in Arizona but was introduced. The law is that people in Arizona over the age of 21 are legally allowed to carry guns without a permit. I personally think that this is a terrible law. Because there will be a lot more crimes and shootings. I also don't this law to be implemented in the next month because of course I'm here and I don't want to get shot while I'm on vacation!

But I could be ok with this law as long as I'm not in this state. A way that this law could be good for the state is if they train and hire more police officers. This has two advantages to the state, one is that there is more officers to catch more criminals, and two is it could be part of the economic recovery being that more jobs would be provided and more would be employed. That is a win-win!

Sorry I have not been journalling for the last three days. My thought ever since I started to journal was I will write down all of the days events and then edit and publish the post in the night. But I have failed to do this. So I will be doing today's journal and give the most important events of the past few days. This is today's;

This was a very awesome day as we went outlet shopping, but when I woke up I was not in the mood to go shopping as I could not open my eyes they were so goopy and I could not swallow my mouth was so dry. I have for the last day felt like I was catching the cold that my sister had in the previous days. But once I got out of bed and started to wake up I felt a little better (The Advil and allergy medicine also helped!). Then we ate breakfast and off to the city of Anthem 45 minutes and 54 miles away for the outlets! The outlets had three nice things right off the bat. The fact that the parking was shaded, between every store you had to walk outside and last but not least they had my favourite store, Quicksilver. So I immediately wanted to stay for a while! And we did as we got there at 10 o'clock and then left around 2:30. I had bought 5 t-shirts, 1 pair of shorts and 6 pairs of socks. Very awesome!! Then we made the 45 minute and 54 mile drive back to Goodyear and relaxed as Dad made burgers that tasted out of this world!! Then we had a nice relaxing time in the pool. which brings us to now which is all of us laying lazily on the couch.

The last few days of non-journalling;

On Sunday we went to the outlets at Arizona mills and got a few things. For the next two days we went on an we on an awesome walk and we saw vultures on the mountain and bald eagles on the mountain as well. That brings us to today which I described up ^ there

Today was very exciting and made me a little bit sad at the same time. The sadness came from the fact that the new iPad came out this morning at 9:00 and I didn't have enough money to buy one. But as I got over my sadness I had an extremely awesome day! This morning like yesterday morning, very relaxing. We got up, had breakfast and swam in and laid by the pool from 8 o'clock to 10. This was where all of us got very excited, we were about to go to a Major League Baseball game which just so happened to be the first MLB game for everyone in the family. It was a very awesome game we sat right behind third base and under a canopy that shielded us from the scorching sun. Although we had the canopy my mom still managed to get sunburn. The food was also amazing, minus the fact that every time we bought something it was five dollars out of pockets. One of the best items of food was this thing called "Italian Ice" it was shredded ice that was flavoured like sno-cones with the syrup. It reminded me alot of sorbet. If I was a food critique I would rate the "Italian Ice" as a 10e^120 as it came in little plastic baseball helmets, one of the highlights of the game! Something that was a little disappointing about the game was because it was a spring training game it didn't go to a tenth inning when at the end of the ninth it was tied 10-10. So the final score 10 Cincinnati Reds and 10 for the Cleveland Indians. When the game was over we all really wanted to go to the super-target, so that is what we did. The super-target didn't really impress me as I expected lower prices and to be very different stores I've ever been to. Neither of these traits appeared as it had all the same shelving/arrangements and same brands as Zellers and I have seen lots of better prices elsewhere. Despite the fact I saw neither of the things I wanted to see I still bought a little toy for 10 dollars, it was a little finger bike that I have wanted for a long time and have never found in Grande Prairie. After we finished there we went to the store right next door called Ross Dress For Less. It very much resembled a Winners, except with even lower prices. I didn't buy anything but my mom hit a jackpot! She found 6 pairs of high-heels and two pairs of flip-flops. All of which she bought for the price of one of the 6 pairs of high-heels back in G.P. We all looked like we had been beaten with a stick and we still look that tired, so we came home and relaxed in the pool, which brings us to now where only my dad and I are awake.

Very good day!! :)

Today, Friday, was quite a nice day, with the exception of waking up at 4:30 in the morning to find myself sleeping on the couch. After that my family and I had quite a relaxing day. The most exciting things we did today were go to the Walmart super-center and find enough food to last us for two weeks at an amazing price, and lay by and play in the pool. After we got changed we did nothing. Even for being relatively lazy we had an amazing supper, which consisted of potatoes, pork chops and green beans with leftovers. Another very awesome part of this day was in the houses backyard today I saw my first hummingbird and it was very pretty, blue, green, yellow and black. This brings us to now which is half of the family sleeping. Tomorrow will be very exciting as we are going to all of our first major league baseball game. :)

Today was soooo busy. This morning I was in Edmonton then went to the airport to wait for 4 hours and read the entire Diary of a Wimpy Kid; Dog Days book. Then we boarded the flight to Phoenix. After we got there and picked up ALL of our luggage and hopped on a bus to go to the rental car place, on the bus our family encountered a world series poker player that became quite fond of us. When we got to the rental place we went through all of the paper work. When we got to our car we crammed all 7 of our bags in to a toyota camry only to drive about 30 miles to our house in goodyear. I also got to watch the early episode of survivor on the plane, so I was very happy! But just as Jeff Probst was about to say the last vote the flight attendant turned off the entertainment :(

Realization....

I have realized that since the Apple iPad keynote I haven't made one post on my blog so I decided to post a post just to post. As you could maybe already tell this post is about nothing although you're still reading it. Why are you still reading this if it is about nothing? Stop reading this there is no info anymore and there wasn't any to begin with!
