Mid-Winter Vacation #4

Today, I skipped Ski-School because Gabby had to go to the doctor. I had graduated from Level 4 to Level 5, but I had only been in Level 5 for 1 day a year ago, so since it was my first day in Level 5 in a year, I decided not to go. At the doctor's office, we found out that Gabby had Tonsillitis so we went to a pharmacy where we got the antibiotics. (Carlos cracked a really funny joke in the car). Then when we went back to Smuggler's, Gabby fell right asleep and Magda, Carlos and I went to "Sterling," the second highest mountain in Smuggler's, at 3040 feet high. On Sterling, we went on trails called "Upper Rumrunner," and "Lower Rumrunner." They were both long, but flat, and the views were amazing! Let's just say, I love Smuggs!

Mid-Winter Vacation #3

Today, Lauren, our ski instructor, told us that Ben was okay! I couldn't believe it. I thought he had a concussion and a broken leg, but no, all it was was a bad bruise on his knee, but other than that, he was perfectly fine! He was even doing the zip-line thingy! I am glad he is okay, he had me worried. Then, at the end of the day, Magda and Carlos went on a "romantic" diner on Sterling mountain, and abandoned us at a day care center for 5 hours!!!...A DAY CARE CENTER!!! We went to the "Fun Zone" for an hour, which we thought might be fun, but we were still in our ski layers, so we were sweating to death. The only good part of the center were the ice-cream sundaes that the people handed out. It turned out that Magda and Carlos had to walk down the whole mountain! 3040 feet!!! Therefore, making them more than an hour late. So today was okay, not my favorite, but okay, but I guess that's how it goes.

Mid-Winter Vacation #2

Today I had a much better day than yesterday, (see Gabby's blog for a very detailed version of yesterday) it was much warmer, making it much more enjoyable, (18 degrees without windchill and 3 degrees with windchill) and we got to on "Snowsnake," a blue trail that Gabby and I have been waiting to go on. Now let me tell you the bad news and the really bad news. When we were on the "Log Jam" obstacle course, this kid Ben who was in our group got his skis stuck in one of the jumps, and then he flipped over on his head but his ski that was stuck, and never came off. So then, his leg was stuck in a really awkward position for 3 minutes, he was unconscious! Once the instructor noticed him, she called "Ski Patrol" and 15 people came down the hill, 2 with stretchers. It took them 20 minutes to get him on the stretcher and into the hospital, still his eyes were closed. Then our instructor went into the hospital and didn't come out so we had to have a new instructor who bailed on us so then we had another instructor. I have to say, it was a scary day but we all survived.  

Mid-Winter Vacation

Today is the 3rd official day of Mid-Winter Break, but it is only the 1st day of vacation for Magda, Carlos, (Gabby's parents) Gabby and I. We are in Smugglers Notch, Vermont. We got here in record time yesterday, 5:30, only 6 hours! We are usually here at 8:00 which takes us 9 hours. (Much more enjoyable).
I am putting on my million layers of clothing so I don't get cold. It is suppose to be 7 degrees without windchill, but -24 degrees with windchill. I hope I don't freeze, bye!

Darth Pineapple Update #8

Hi, sorry I haven't posted in a while, so why don't I catch you up. Yesterday, Ewan made the first ever Darth Pineapple T-shirt! It is so cool! It has the Darth Pineapple Logo on the front and our web-address on the back, (www.darthpineapplle.blogspot.com). We also have a new way of making Darth Pineapple: Daniel does the drawings and then hands them to Ewan, who does the writing over-night and copies from the first draft. Also, we have a new way of selling Darth Pineapple: we are now selling the comic in volumes. There are two chapters in a volume, and a volume is only $0.50. That is about it, bye.

Darth Pineapple Update #7

A few days ago, yesterday actually, Ewan and I made an app for Darth Pineapple that you can use on you're smart-phones. We did it on http://www.widgetbox.com/ if you would like to make you're own. It gives you the posts on our blog, 
(www.darthpineapple.blogspot.com) a two answer question about the Darth Pineapple comic, a few photos of Darth Pineapple the character and the company workers, and also our school on "google-maps" for the people who don't know where we are. It is a really cool app and we urge you to get it now on your smart-phone by going to:          http://t.wbx.me/atu65 but...the app must be installed on your device in the next 14 days. Unfortunately, anyone who wants the app after the permitted time will not be able to access it.

Merry Christmas!

A few days ago, it was Christmas and I was really excited to open my presents; I got a lot of cool ones such as: the "Wii Balance Board" to go with my Wii, the Lego Star Wars "Clone Turbo Tank" set (it has over one thousand peices)!, the big "ATAT Walker," again, Lego Star Wars; and then I got some cookies and treats in my stocking. There was also a present that I wanted to return to the store so I still have one more undecided present. To summarize this post, this was one of, if not the best Christmas ever.
