Eureka

Saturday I went to Eureka with Grandma, Grandpa, and my mom. It was a really nice day. It was about 75 degrees and sunny. We went to the market sale and we bought the grand lamb again. The eureka fair is a really small fair. There was only 40 hogs and 6 lamb and 8 steers. We bought the grand for $11.50. That was a good deal because we got the one in Kalispell for $11.75. After the market sale we went to Casa Mexico. That's a Mexican restaurant in Kalispell.

The Grand

On Saturday I went to the market sale with Grandpa. There were so many hogs. There where about 150 hogs. We had to wait for all of them to pass because we always buy the grand champion lamb. Once we got to the lambs I got to raise my hand for the betting. Les Schwab was trying to buy it from us but we won. We got it for $11.75 a pound. It was 140 pounds. Last year we got it for over $12 so this year wasn't so bad.

Silverwood

Last week I went to Silverwood with my friend Rylee. It was a nice day. It was about 70 degrees out so it wasn't a very hot day but that was nice to not have it too hot. The first ride we did was called the Scrambler. That is a ride where you are in a cart and you go close to the sides so it feels like you are going to fly out of the ride. After that, we went on a roller coaster called Timer Terror. It has a lot of drops so it gave you lots of butterflies in your stomach. We also went on some rides where you got wet. The first water ride was the log ride. You are in a fake log and you go along a "river". Then there is a big drop and you get splashed. The other water ride was called Thunder Canyon. You are in a circular shaped thing and it spins you around and you go over humps. I got SUPER wet! After that we went to the water park. It wasn't such a good day to do that because it was a little chilly so we didn't stay there very long. I went on another roller coaster called Tremors. That is fun because you go on a couple big drops and you go under ground twice and you go over a bridge and under a bride. Tremors and Timber Terror are both wooden roller coasters. After that day we went on a total of 12 rides plus the water park.

Volleyball Camp Part 3

If you haven't read part one and part two scroll drown and read them first if you wan to read this page. On Wednesday and Thursday we did a Nukem tournament. Nukem is a game we play where you throw a volley ball over the net then you catch it and throw it back over the net. If you don't catch then you are out. Whoever team gets all of their opponent's players out first wins. On Wednesday and Thursday we played about 5 games each. There were 8 teams. After we played all of those games we played more Friday morning. Wednesday and Thursday were games that were seeding us. Then or Friday we did the real games. Our team was in the 2nd seed. The first seed was Coach Elliot's team. Coach Elliot is the head coach. In seeding we lost against them but in tournaments we beat them. In the Nukem tournament we got second place because we lost against the orange team, but we at least beat Coach Elliot's team! The winner got Gatorade. After we had the final Nukem games we went home.
