A Trip to Mammoth
From the 28TH of December to the 2ND of January my family and I went to Mammoth to ski. We stayed at a hotel called St. Anton which is right by Canyon Lodge. We all skied the first day, and the conditions were nice. It was a little windy, but the snow was great. That night I didn't feel good and low and behold I ended up with a 24 hour stomach flu, throwing up three times. It was horrible. I could barely sleep, so I stayed in the hotel with my mom for a day and a half recovering. It was great to finally get to go outside and ski, however that night my mom got the same thing that I just had. I felt bad for her but not bad enough to skip a day of skiing. While my mom slept in the hotel, my dad, brother and I skied as much as we could. At the top of the mountain, we went down Cornus a few times and we did the shoulder of Wipeout. My brother had a little trouble with the shoulder of Wipeout because it's a double-black diamond but he made it down. The last day everyone skied and the last run I did was Paranoid Flat with my dad. Paranoid Flat is one of the hardest runs at Mammoth. It's a double-black diamond and my dad and I did not pick the greatest time to do it. There were some rocks, it was a little icy, and there was no powder to slow you down or cushion you if you fell. It was scary when I looked down over the top of the run and saw how steep it was. It looks vertical. But I had done it many times before and so I skied down with my dad enjoying the challenge and ended the trip with a great run.
Happy Holidays!
For the holidays I celebrated Christmas with my family at my house. My brothers and I woke up early to see what we got in our stockings. I got many things including the Lord of the Rings books, the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie, and much more. We had a scrumptious turkey dinner and a rich Kentucky butter cake that filled me to the brim. I went to sleep with new wonderful memories that I will have forever.

Voicethread
Voicethread is a site where you can create vocal postings and comments. I had a lot of fun using this website because it's different. Instead of typing you can record what you want to say. I used Voicethread to make a book talk on The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan. It was pretty simple and something really fun and new to do. I hope you get your own Voicethread and have as much fun as I did. Also to see my book talk look on my blog and I hope you enjoy.

Image Chef
I went on a website called Image Chef. On Image Chef, I made a few signs using different options they have, such as buttons. I really enjoy this website because you can customize all of the images to say what you want them to and there even different colors you can chose. Image Chef can also be useful for other things such as projects.

Big Huge Labs
I think that Big Huge Labs is an awesome site to create new imaginative things. I made this picture using an effect called bead art which is just one of the many things you can make in Big Huge Labs.
