I don’t know if I have ever been so lucky before…. I got to go to Disneyland and Mexico all in one trip.

Yuk… I was not having good luck on the flights. I threw up on all of them. Once we got to Los Angeles I was so excited we took a bus straight to our hotel and stayed for the night.

The next morning it was time for DISNEY LAND! I begged to go onto the rides straight away. My favorite kinds of rides were the thrillers (lots of action) but the others were awesome as well. I could not believe the amount of effort put into the rides. Some of my faves were Big Thunder Mountain (a mini coaster), Matterhorn (a mini coaster), and Splash Mountain (a mini coaster with water).

When I woke up the next day I knew it was time for disney land’s neighbour… CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK! We spent the first little while in bugs land for my sister. I went one the Mulholland Madness mini coaster. It was great but it gave me a headache. The fun wasn’t over yet though… me and my dad decided to go on the California Screamin’ (big roller coaster). It was my favorite ride of the whole week, it turned us upside down, went very fast, and had huge drops.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOSwas next! First off we went on the Studio Tour. They showed us all the effects such as: blowing up cars and making them spin out of control, train crash scenes, bridges exploding, towns flooding, and tons of illusions used in movies as well. We went on the Simpson’s ride, it was an illusion that made it seem like we were in a roller coaster.

And finally SEA WORLD. We saw a dolphin show, the dolphins did back flips and jumped really high. We also went to penguin and shark encounters were we got up close to some rare awesome species. Next up was the Shamu show, if anyone doesn’t know who Shamu is I would say he is probably the most famous whale in the world. Obviously, the show was spectacular. Then yet another roller coaster… The Atlantis roller coaster. I got soaked the first drop plunged us into a pool of water, fun never the less anyway.

But the thrilling times had finished we got on the air plane to Cabo San Lucas, MEXICO… and yet another through up    As soon as we checked into our room I already wanted to play at the basketball court and swim in the pool. Well in the end I did both those things about 100 hundred times… no exaggeration there. There were also shows with the dinner buffet at night. People juggled torches, danced and performed magic.

An awesome trip for the books.

1. I have been tagged by Priscilla to write this post. It is about the 10 things I would dream to do before I die. Like Priscilla said in her post I would like to do 1000000 before I die. But I will tell you the “top 10″. By the way these are not in order-
2. Play pro soccer- As you know I am a huge fan of soccer. I don’t expect to actually become a pro but it would be a dream come true.
3. Cure Cancer- This is a huge one. I don’t necessarily want to cure it myself. Don’t get me wrong I would love to but I just hope they can cure it. Cancer kills so many people. It’s so bad that whenever you turn on the news channel you can expect to hear a story about someone dying from cancer.
4. Travel Around The World- I don’t know if I’ve told you before but I am a huge fan of visiting other community’s (especially other countries. I get to see the culture and the activities different people play for fun. I would love to travel around the world and see all the different places.
5. Meet Cristiano Ronaldo- Cristiano Ronaldo is the best modern soccer player in the world and also my favorite soccer player. It has always been my dream to meet him. He is a hero to many and he is one of the reasons I keep trying to get better at soccer.
6. Become a Lawyer- I have often thought that I want to be a lawyer in the future. I don’t really know why but I think I would be good at it because I am great at arguing.
7. Stop Blurting Out During Class- One of my problems in school is I tend not to put my hand up. Instead I just yell out the answer or question I want to say. All my teachers have noticed in the past and get mad at me. I would like to put my hand up before I talk. I know it sounds kind of silly but it is true.
8. Stop The Usage Of Gas- Gasoline is poluting every where. It pollutes the ozone layer. If the ozone layer brakes down the sun radiation will go directly to earth and earth will be much to hot for humans to live on.
9. Become A Grandparent- Ever since I was little I have always loved and played with my Grandpa. I want to be a grandpa at one point in my life. Obviously not write now but sometime.
10. Go Bungey Jumping- I have watched people bungey jumping in movies and it looked quite cool. I think just the idea of going bungey jumping is exciting. I’m not afraid of hights so it is perfect!

Hi Readers,

I read Ms.Wyatt’s post about 6 things that make her happy. I decided I would write a post about six things that make me happy, so… without any further delay here they are.

1. Playing Soccer- Obviously… no surprise there. I love playing soccer because it is my passion. It calms me and excites me at the same time. When I play the sport I also play it with friends so that is awesome.
2. My Friends- My friends make me happy because they are funny and I like to hang out with them. It is always fun to hang out with a friend!
3. Traveling- Traveling makes me happy because I love to go new places and see new things. I also meet new people on vacation. I love traveling!
4. Talking- Kind of a weird one but if you think about it makes you feel good when you say something funny or helpfull or just plain random. Ask any of friends and they will tell you I talk a lot.
5. Shooting Hoops- Just standing beside a basketball and shooting hoops makes me happy. It is fun to practice your aim and see how many shots you can score on.
6. Eating Seafood- Seafood is my absolute favorite. Seafood is fresh juicy and delicious. I especially like muscles and crabs.
