Last Summer Post

I did my triathlon the other day and I had a great time. When we got there people were already setting up there transition stations witch are places where you put your shoes

on when you get out of the pool. I set up my bike and shoes and shirt. Then we got in the pool I was the eighth person to get in the pool and swim at first I was a little nervous but  I got over it quickly and I was swimming like a pro, I did all four lengths really quick and I got out and started running to my transition station  and put on my shoes and I was off

on my bike.  I was a little bit into the race when my derailleur on my bike hit the frame and  I had to pull over and fix it.  I fixed it fast  and rode off but not long after it did it a

second time. I fixed it very fast now since I knew how to do it and I finished the biking. Then I ran the first lap of the run.  The first lap was no problem but the second lap I had a cramp so I had to reduce my speed and at the last stretch of the run I saw griffin cheering me on and I ran faster and sprinted to the finish line!  My time was three or four minutes faster than last year!

 I also donated three bags of dog food to the animal shelter. I want to thank all yall’  (ha ha)  for following my blog this summer and clicking on my ads.  After awhile Google decided that Grandma’s clicking on ads isn’t fair, but before they shut down my ad account I made almost $78.00…. I donated three bags of dog food to the animal shelter, I put half of the rest in my piggy bank and I get to keep $26.00!!  Thanks everyone, I had a great summer and I hope you did too.

LOVE YOU ALL!

CAMP!

Camp was great.... I had an awesome time with my cousin Ben, some of the kids in our cabin were a little wierd but we had lots of fun anyway.  I swam in the lake every day and did a high ropes course and went fishing and we even raided the cabins on the other side of the lake.  It was really hot this year at camp.  Basically, it was more fun than I can tell you about.  This is a picture of my brother Griffin hugging me when he came to pick me up from camp.

Burgers

I have two more burger joints to write about and they might be the best ones yet.  One was a gourmet burger and one was a diner style burger.
The gourmet burger was from Counter Burger which is becoming a chain so if there is one in your town you should go!!! And you can design yore own burger just for you and it tastes so good you could get your burger as rare as it can be like Dad and Michelle like it,  or rilly well done and my burger tasted soooooooooooooo good it was so amasingly good that i haad to take a picture and even the picture makes my mouth water. on to the next buger

I went to The Penguin and got fried pickles and a southern style burger. The Penguin is one of my all time favorite diner burgers and their fried pickles are the best and they are made right there and they have homeade ranch dressing to dip them in.  Mmmmm....  The Penguin was on Diners Drve Ins and Dives and you can look in up and watch about it!  It really does live up to the hype!

Brattonsville

I went to historic brattonsville sc and we saw how the early settlers live.
At first we saw the early huts of the settlers and it was interesting. They lived in little mud huts that had two beds and a kitchen inside and a family of 7 wuld live in one of them for ten to eleven years untill the son coulde builde another house.
Then we saw the next generaton of houses, they were two storys and the house was much better inside than the first ones. Then we went to the tavern and saw what it looked like on the in side it had a kitchen a bedroom and a schoolhouse in it. Then we went to the big house and it had three storys and a ball room. Then we saw the slave houses and the gin house where the cotton gin was.  One of the actors there told us how they raised flax for making cloth instead of cotton before the cotton gin was invented.  It was a worthwhile stop on the way home from camp.

CAMP! oh, and this museum i went to...

This will be my last post for awhile because i am going to Camp Gravatt for a week!

I went to the Mint Museum and saw all these cool pieces of art.

We did this scavenger hunt game in the

Museum and we had to find  different art pieces  and

We found all of them! The first one we found were kites hanging from the cieling

Then a painting of Queen Charlotte, then a painting of a room with people in it,

After that we found an old wardrobe,  then an ancient Hunters shirt

And last of all, antick wallpaper. The Mint Museum was also the first mint in the United States, and my brother Griffin thought the display about the coins they made there was awesome.  It was a pretty cool trip, even though I didn’t want to go at first.

Myrtle Beach

I went to Myrtle beach in South Carolina a few days ago and it was cookies!
At first it was low tide and I caught some big waves body surfing
They shot me thru the water like a jet, it was awesome.
And we surfed waves for about two hours when the tide came in, then
The waves got rough they threw me around like a rag doll boom boom boom
the waves knocked us over almost a million times. The waves were so strong that they
made you surf them spinning you around until you were dizzy. After we left the beach
we went to a burger joint called Hamburger Joe’s and I got another ALL THE WAY, the chili had no taste at all. But the rest was good. The funny thing about this place was that it was covred in money! There were dollar bills all over the walls and hanging from the ceiling. They let us draw on a dollar bill and put it up their on the wall. We put up a pink fish power boys doller bill .That was the end to are amasing beach trip!
