Actions Speak LOUDER THAN WORDS

Hello, hello! How's everybody doing tonight? So, yesterday, I drove with my cousins to the BC Wild Life Park in Kamloops. Grandma and Grandpa treated all of us to a day there for their 64th wedding anniversary. It was really fun! There was this cool bird show and they set one of the falcons on Preston's head and then on Bri's head. The only problem was that it was REALLY, REALLY hot. We were sweating to death after five minutes in the park! But they had some cool animals and a COOL water park thing. It's meant for kids, but they only get like, thirty-five people a day, so we went right in and got all cooled off. We also rode this little train around the park, so that was cool. I got a stuffed chipmonk and a cool sticker at the gift shop. So yeah...
Anyways...back to the point of this post: when we were on the road yesterday, we were listening to Relient K. they have this song called Hello McFly and it's really good. So anyways, when we got out of the car, Auntie Sue was like, "Uncle Des came up with a pretty cool band name: Louder Than Words," because there's a line in the song that's like "ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!" How is it that of all the names that we've come up with, that Uncle Des comes up with one and it's the one? So yeah...we've finally decided. We are Louder Than Words. It's got a cool little ring to it. Whoo hoo!
So...uh...oh! Last night I slept over at Darby's. Travis made me bring all my sound equipment: you know, mike, stand, guitar, amp, mixer...the whole mess of it. Then, we jammed and practiced for about an hour and that's all we used it for. Ugh...moving things. Anyways, I didn't get much sleep because we went to bed at 10:30 and I kept waking up and then at 3:30, I woke up with this really bad stomach ache. So i got up and hung out with Grandma for about half an hour until I felt a bit better. Then I finally fell asleep at 4:45...and woke up fine. So that was odd. We spent the whole morning playing with the excessive amount of Lego that my cousins have. That was actually really fun. :)
So, today, when Auntie Sue and Darby, dropped me off at home, we installed two of the homeschool programs that i'll be useing: Grade 10 language and science. I was kind of excited about that, so I tried it out. I ended up doing four days worth of language work. It's pretty cool. You read the lesson and then you answer questions on it. You get as many chances as you want with the work until you get to the quizzes, which are just like a normal quiz. (I haven't gotten there yet though). Honestly, I can get a whole unit of language done in a few days. So that's pretty darn cool!
So, at church on the weekends, I usually help out with either Sunday School or the little Nursury thing. I like the Nursury better. But anyways, I didn't end up going this weekend...I don't really know why though. So I was sitting up at the front with Travis and Preston and other family members when Alexa, this girl that's a year younger than me, sneeks to the front and asked to to go up to the nursury. So i went and it turns out that this little girl, Sarah, who's only like, eighteen months old, had been whining because she wanted me...so that was cool. Apparently, I was wanted up there. So I guess I'll help out with that weekly now......
Well...that's all I've got to say today...but yeah...Hope everyone had a good summer! I guess school starts in a week. Good luck with that, my fellow grade niners and other such school-ers! All for now!
