Pics






Hello! Here are some pictures of me at Margaret Falls.
Picture #1: Me standing on a waterfall eating an icicle.
Picture #2: Believe it or not, underneath all those trees and snow is a river that runs from the waterfall. It actually runs under all the ice and snow!
Picture #3: Me on the path. There's a lot of trees that you have to duck under to get to the waterfall.
Picture #4: One of the few crack in the ice where you can see the water! This isn't part of the main waterfall but it's like a mini-waterfall further down the river.
Picture #5: The waterfall frozen over with ice. It was sooo cool! We don't have any pictures of it but there's this hole in the ice where we climbed up to and you could actually touch the water (not that you would though because it was so freakishly cold).
So yeah! Thos are some pics! Hee hee....

Watoto

Hellooo...
So, Saturday was really cool...we went wit hthe Saddlers to Margaret Falls and it was really amazing! The entire waterfall was frozen (it looked like that scene in Narnia), and we could climb it! We climbed up a little ways and broke off icicles and ate them. They were surprisingly good! After that, we picked up Darby and went to their place for dinner. Then, Bri, Shanan, Darby and I went to play some pool. I know how to play pool now! Darby and I played against each other and I won but not by much. We're still not that great but yeah...it was fun!
Anyways...yesterday, Carol (youth leader) took a bunch of us to the Watoto Children's Choir that were performing in Vernon. It was really cool! I wasn't expecting it to be so great! It's this African choir of little kids under the age of 12 and right now they're touring across Canada. They're originally from Uganda and they were all in poverty once but then this organization called Watoto saved them and stuff and...anyways...it's a really cool program and now we and Carol...(WE being me, Jade, Darby, Shelby and Raquel)... are going to raise money for them. It was a really cool experience! YAY.....
Anyways...today I havee to get going on school again so I'd better go.
All for now!

"I'm Just A Fried Piece Of Fishin' Pole!"

Howdy!
Catherine was on the news last night! It was cool. I saw it.
My story is currently 33 pages long! It's really cool! It's called Addy & The Apple Tree. I don't even know if I've told you about it already or now but yeah...it's really cool! I'm hoping to finish it within the next month because then I can hand it in for school and stuff. I've done a whole bunch of sketches of characters and stuff too. I've also deinged a cover. I want it to be really simple so it's just an 2D apple with a bit out of it and the title written inside.
Anyways...in other news, Bri's work is having this bridge building contest where you build a bridge using this computer program and the person with the lowest cost (yet still sturdy) bridge wins! Bri and I are both entering that. First prize is $250! YAY!
Anyways...all for now!
It's time for supperrrrrrr!

Hi Folks

Hey everyone! How are you doin'?
I've been having a great Christmas Vacation! I finally got my Switchfoot package of stuff on Tuesday! It's so cool! It's got a signed postcard, their new CD, an exclusive EP, a poster, three stickers, 5 buttons and a DVD. It's so cool!
The top of my guitar case is nearly full with stickers! YAY!
Darby was at my house for like...2 days straight. We were very busy. We made um...bizarre tapes on my mini tape recorder.
So yeah, my new story "Addy & The Apple Tree" is now 27 pages long and i'm not even halfway through yet! It's really good! I've also been doing sketches of the characters and stuff. I think that if I finish it soon, I'll hand it in for homeschooling and see what Mr. Sullivan says about it. :D
Anyways, I'll post toboganning pictures soon!
