The Amusement Park

August 26th, 2007 by james

I’ve been lazy and not written about a couple of things like my trip to Marine World withÂ Donna Grant and RileyÂ I had lots of fun and went on my first big roller-coaster.

We saw some dolphins which was cool it was hard to get pics of them in the air but Donna got one.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

After the show Grant Riley and I went on a raft ride.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

It was fun up until some really cruel people payed 25c to shoot water cannons at the raft riders if I had know that I would have brought more quarters, instead I had to settle for shooting some guy that was trying to take a picture on an overpass looking down on the rafters.

Next was the Killer Whale show and that was something to watch.

Â Â Â Â Â

The Whale drenched every one in the first 6 rows so I got a laugh.

It was a long and fun day.

Oregon With Photos

August 24th, 2007 by james

Hey it is 7:00pm august 24th 2007

Hi guys did you miss my riveting blogsÂ I am sorry I kept you waiting but I was in Oregon working with my Uncle and one of his friends Markie. We have been prepping the place for all the guys to come down on Labor Day weekend we pulled out a really big tree with only our bare hands ………….and a 337 Bob Cat excavator so we had some hard work to do.

Dennis’s friend Markie really likes his excavator so you have to watch him or he will get a little off task……

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â This is Markie off task.

This is a before and after pic of the tree stump we removed.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

BeforeÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â After

If you look closely in the after photo you can see me standing in the hole the stump left in the ground.

We had alot of fun working we pathed some sections and lad some gravel for the 5th-wheels A.K.A camper vans because Dennis’s yard was completley sand. The drive up to Oregon takes about 10 hours one way non-stop so just a short trip.

I am going back up there for a fun trip in about four more days hopefuly and thats for another week so I hope you guys don’t miss me too much.

My past couple of days

August 14th, 2007 by james

Hi every body it’s 8:13 August 14th

I have been having so much fun in the past couple of days I have been to the Winchester Mystery House which has 160 rooms, had a maximum of 7 stories, at it’s peek covered 161 acres, has two basements, 1257 window frames, 950 doors, 47 fireplaces, 17 chimneys, 40 bedrooms, 6 kitchens, 40 staircases, 367 steps, 52 skylights, 13 bathrooms and 1 shower. All this cost $5,5000,000

Try saying that ten times really fast.

After that we went to Dave & Busters which is a really big arcade and that was really cool.

The next day we rode the quads and dirt bikes around the yard, then we went to Carnegie which has a lot of big off road tracks to ride on, I wiped out on the little 125 dirt bike but I wasn’t hurt so don’t worry I’m OK.

I will put some pics on the blog soon.

My days at the fair

August 3rd, 2007 by james

Hay it’s Friday August 3rd 2007

Yesterday and the day before I went to the county fair the first night we went to see the Quad Bike drag racing and it was really cool thereÂ four classes Little Kids, Under 15’s, B class and Unlimited class we the Little Kids and under 15’s where OK and the B class was cool but nothing matched the Unlimited Class there where some super expensive Quads in that class and they where fast some of the bikes had Motor Bike engines in them they sounded really cool. But as it happens when you race at those speeds one guy lost it and hit a fence he wasn’t hurt bad but still it look painful. There was one Quad in the Unlimited classÂ that looked more Dragster than Quad and it was really fast we thought for sure that this guy would win or go flying into the fence as well but in the Semi finals he accidentally started in Neutral and lost.

One the second night we wentÂ I got to see a Rodeo it was cool there where Bucking Bulls and this one guy who kept on harassing the commentator (he was aÂ rodeo clown he’s meant to) the guy was about to say a joke when the bull went after him for a while (this was more funny) when that finished we went on some rides then left.

We plan of going to more fairs later on and there is a State Fair coming up soon as well so until then bye.
