GivesMeHope

I scan through the harry potter mugglenet site every once in awhile. Recently they've been putting up little excerpts from the site givesmehope.com. This story was posted on here so a went to the website and came across several others. They just make me smile.

"Today, I was walking in a dog park. I reached this really steep hill, and noticed someone rolling down it, laughing the whole way. At first I passed it off as a just a kid. Then I noticed that it was a woman at least 60 years old, and that her husband was waiting at the bottom of the hill to catch her"

Grade "A" hiking

This morning I finally got up and went hiking. Although it wasn't as early as I should have gone I still woke up Adam Amberly and Alyssa, the triple A's", and we drove up to the number hill. Our quest? To hike to the big A. At first we had no clue where the trail was, it just looked like a water runnoff and then just like someone had decided to climb some rocks. But it was the trail, and wow was it steep. I remember hiking it with my dad when I was younger and thinking it was so long, but I didn't remember it being steep. Maybe I just confused long with steep. After several breaks we did make it up just as the sun hit the top of the hill.

One of the paintbrushes they used got paint glued.

When the excitement of reaching the A ran out, we decided to go to the B. It's not that easy and there is a downhill and then going up and around another so we decided just to go to where we could see the B, the highest point of the Number Hill. Amberly was too tired and wanted to stop so we left her sitting on a rock while Adam and Alyssa and I went to the top. We took too long taking pictures and exploring, and found a new way down that was easier than the steep trail we had come up. As Amberly was hiking up I took this picture.

Superheroes vs. the villain

On the road that we finally found that ended up going around TWO hills the triple A's found several items: Alyssa's broom "fan", Adam's bead type thing, and Amberly's pocket knife.

Catching up, Happy B-Day Adam!

I really haven't updated in about forever, but since I had a fun time and had time to blog I decided I would update just a little bit since I was browsing as I was organizing pictures and came across some of Adam's birthday pictures. His cake was pretty much the best cake I have ever made thanks to theidearoom.blogspot.com. I love to look at blogs and they always take me to other blogs and I saw this cake and it just made me happy. So Mom and I made it behind Adam's back (even with him around ;) I had tons of fun making it and eating it. Super yummy. We used a homeade Bonnie Butter cake recipe and although adding in so much food coloring was a little gross, it was fun to see all the colors stacked on top of each other. I had so much fun making it, even if it took practically all day like all of my cooking adventures. Making it was fun, eating it was fun (even if we did have to share each piece) and even cleaning it up was fun. The six layer cake!

I would have had more pictures but the minute I uploaded them on here they completely lost their quality.
