Saturday we went to this evangelism conference with Levi. It was pretty fun, until the last part, which was a bit boring. We then went home and just did our own thing. That night, we got in the hot tub for a while. It was as great as ever. Then it was time for showers, since there was church the next morning. After my shower, I helped Tutu with her Sunday school project and knitted for a while. Oh yeah, I have started knitting! It is super fun. I hope to get good enough to make a scarf.
Sunday was a fun day. I got to help out with the preschoolers. They were so well behaved. After church, we went and ate at Taco Del Mar. Then we went home and relaxed. Later on, we went to Kua Bay. It started raining, and was so beautiful on the water, like a pattern. Plus, the surf was nice sized.
Today has been pretty good. I went to walmart with Tutu, and got a new pair of Knitting needles and Yarn! The yarn is so soft. We plan to go to the beach later on today. I hear there is a swell coming, so fingers crossed for lots of big waves!!!!!!

Camping Trip (2nd version)
Sorry about my other camping trip post. I was tired, and didn't check anything.
Sorry it took so long to blog. Ok, here goes.
The first day of camping was a Sunday, so we headed to some church, where Gramps was to preach. It was really good. Then we sang these old Hymms. Because of that, I had "To God Be The Glory" stuck in my head ever since. After church, we went and ate at a fancy Italian resturant. It was delicous! Then we headed to the cabins. It was really misty and cold when we arrived. Our cabin was pretty big. The second we got in, Tutu and Gramps fell asleep. Bored, Mark and I went for a walk. Since my cut was healed, I could walk in my brand new shoes. They were amazing! After the walk, we played War and Blackjack. Then, once Tutu and Gramps woke up, we went on a real hike. For a while, I thought I was lost for sure. but we found our way back. After dinner, we headed up to the observitory. It was amazing. It was cold. It was AWESOME! Afterwards, we went back to our cabin (with me literally SHIVERING) and had some hot chocolate while playing Uno.
The second day, we headed down Mauna Kea, through Hilo, and up Kilauea, to Volcano National park! All day we explored, seeing the Sulfur Banks, the glow of the Volcano, and countless Craters. One of them was so huge, a hundred football feilds could fit in it! I was impressed. We even visited the Jaggar Mueseum. It was captivating, with all its paintings. Sadly, the best volcano lookout was closed. It was a shame. After all the exploring, we went back to the campsite.We had hot chocolate and Smores.
On Tuesday, we headed up to some forest. We had the entire campsite to ourselves. While we were down by the cabins, we saw a cute little kitten. We tried to feed it, but it didn't eat much. Not much happened the rest of the day, although, at night, I perfected my marshmellow cooking!
We headed home the next day. I loved camping, but it sure felt amazing to be home.

Camping
So tommorrow-Wednesday I will be camping!!! Tutu is not bringing her computer, so I will not be able to blog. But I will fill you in when I get back.
On to today!
I had an OK day. I had to move out of my wonderful room, because some people from New Zealand are coming to stay. I am now moved into Mark's Room. It was a very busy day, FULL of cleaning and packing (for the trip). We were not able to go to the beach today, because we cant get sand in the car. So instead, we are all going to get into the Hot Tub!
I put fertilizer on the Pineapple seeds today. It was easy and quick. I wish I could be here when the Pineapples come out. Tutu's Pineapples are always the sweetest!
Well, I'll blog again on Wednesday! See ya!

Thursday and Friday
Thursday: We did so much stuff Thursday. We started out working around the house. Then around 10-11, Gramps and I went to the Dump, the Library, some store, and Wendy's. I stayed in the car while Gramps went to the store, so I could read some. I got some really good books, like Coraline. It was interesting and sorta scary. The Wendy's was delicious. I love their fries. When we got home, we relaxed for a while, then we all went to Kua Bay. There was supposed to be a swell, but we missed it. So we all worked together to make a magnificent Lighthouse out of sand. Then, soon after dinner, we went to the movies. Tutu and Gramps saw Cowboys vs. Instead, Mark and I saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It. Was. Stupid. Just plain stupid. Plus, there was only one big fight scene. It wasn't very interesting. Once I got home I fell asleep quickly, because it was already around 11:00 PM.
Today: Today has been more relaxed. Mark is out earning his 15 dollars by washing the windows. I have finished all my homework, so my afternoons are free. I'm probably going to spend them either helping Mark with his homework or reading. It just feels good, knowing I don't have to do it anymore.
Me and Tutu just finished putting pineapple seed in a pot. It was hard but fun work. Only now I'm COVERED in dirt! We will put Fertilizer on them Tomorrow.

Sun., Mon., Tues., and Today
Sunday: Sunday was a very busy day. We went to church in the morning. I was glad to be back in that church, but nothing is like Seaford Baptist. After church, my friend Sasha came over to my house to play. We got to bake cookies and put on plays. It was so much fun! Once Sasha went home, we went over to Levi's (my other friend) house. While the parents played Mexican Train, Levi, Mark and I played on the Wii.
Monday: We didn't do much on Monday. We visited Otec for a while, but other than that we had a low key day.
Tuesday: We visited Kua Bay Tuesday. It was so much fun, with some nice sized waves. We played Mexican Train that night, and I won!
Today: Today will be the final day of Homework! I just have a bit left on it, and I can do it easily! After that, I will have my afternoons free!!!! We might go to the beach later on tonight.

Yesterday and Today
Yesterday was a shopping day. We all got up and went to Target, Ross, the library, and walmart.
In Ross, I got the sweetest tennis shoes ever! They had lightweight foam, so it feels like nothing on my feet! I wish I could do some jogging in them, but my foot has a nasty cut in it. So it's flip-flops until it heals.
I was so glad to be in the library again. I used to have nothing to read, now I have 3 books!
After a long day, we all got into the hot tub (yes, a hot tub!) and relaxed.
Today is a work day. We are doing chores around the house. I just baked a cake as one of my chores!! It's cooling now, so I have to wait a while.
While the cake baked, me and Tutu started playing a puzzle game. Mostly all we had to do was find stuff. I decided I would rather blog right now. So so far that has been my day!!!

My Plane Trip to Hawaii
I dislike Plane Trips.
My entire family likes them but not me. They are long and boring. I used to be neutral about them, until last year, where I got horribly sick on a plane to Hawaii. Since then, all plane rides remind me of that horrible day. Sadly, the quickest way to get to the best place in the world (Hawaii) is by plane.
Usually, we go from Newport News to Atlanta to Honolulu to Kona, but to save money we went from Newport News to Dallas to LA to Kona. We were flying as Unaccompanied Minors.
The Newport News to Dallas flight wasn't that bad. We were seated in the front seats of Coach, right next to another UM (Unaccompanied Minor). He had a DSI, and so did we, so he and Mark played Mario Kart while I rested for a while.
The layover in Dallas was horrifying. We were put in a UM Lounge for about 3 hours. The Dallas UM Lounge was just a couple of chairs and a TV. It was incredibly boring.
The Dallas to LA flight was fine. I was a little crabby at the beginning, but then I cooled down. Most of the time I just read the Sky Mall Magazine.
There was a layover in LA, but the UM Lounge was so much better. It actually had stuff to do, which was great.
The flight from LA to Kona was great. Before the plane took off, I was feeling kinda sick, but my stomach settled down. We were seated next to a nice guy who used to live in Kona. We talked most of the flight. They were showing Thor, but it was not as good as I hoped it would be.
Finally we arrived in Kona, without me getting sick. I was tired and a mess, but I was glad to be home.

Hooray!
Great News! Because my wonderful mom encouraged me to, I will still continue writing on my blog in Hawaii (where I am now)! So keep an eye out for new posts!

Hawaii
So I have no been blogging for a long time, but I thought it was about time to update.
I'm going to Hawaii! In 4 days I will be on a plane heading to one of the greatest places on earth. I can't wait!
With all the stuff I will be doing there, I don't know if I will be able to blog a lot, but I will try. I will be so busy in Hawaii.
When I come back, school will have already started, so I will need to prepare and do my summer work now.
I can't wait to see those beautiful waves at Kua Bay.
