What a great summer I had!

These are some of the things that I did.

Pt. Magu camping: It was right on the ocean - saw some seals and roasted mangoes and toasted marshmallows (or was it toasted mangoes and roasted marshmallows?).

Camping at Y: Went camping at the Lake Castaic with the whole Y group. Took my large tent with me and had a great time.

iPhone: I didn’t write about it, but in July, my dad and I got up at 6.00 am in the morning and stood in the line outside of Apple store and got the iPhone 3G. My dad doesn’t like to stand in lines, so we still can’t believe we did that. I am having great time playing with the games and downloading things from the App Store.

Picnic: Went to the Bangla Picnic and played some and a wonderful afternoon.

Party at house: We had a party at our house for some of my friends and their parents. It was wonderful.

Comedy club: I took classes at the Comedy Club this summer. I think I will start them again in November. Learned some great games and had a blast. During the last class, my friends came over and watched me perform my comedy routine.

Las vegas: Aha, for my birthday, we went to Las Vegas and did so many fun things. Dinner at Paris and I did get a lot of presents.

Disneyland: Went to Disneyland with the camp group. It was nice but not spectacular as some had told me.

Knotsberry farm: This trip was great. I went to 3-4 rides and had a wonderful time.

Harry potter 4-7: Read Harry Potter’s books 4-7. Great books! Can’t wait for the prequel.

Lord of Rings: Started reading Lord of the Rings.

Roller skating: Went to a roller scating party - I learned how to skate in no time at all.

French fry frenzy: Participated in French Fry Frenzy - got French fries from McDonald, Burger King, Jack in the Box, in and out, Kentucky fried chicken, red robins and several other places and did a taste test. In-and-out tasted very fresh, Burger king was crispiest.

Guitar hero: Played Guitar Hero; but not for very long.

Music video: went to a party for my friend’s birthday and made a music video.

RC Helicopter: Played with the RC helicopter. Had a blast. It is not broken yet!

Olympics: Watched Olympics!

Challenge: Watched way too many Food network challenges.

Whale watching: Went whale watching didn’t see any whales but the boat ride was fun; I have seen whales up-close before.

Six flags: Went to six flag park. I was a bit scared of the big roller coasters so I just did some small ones.

Libby lou: Went to Libby Lou for a fun girl’s party for a friend’s birthday. got a nice head band!

Cheered for Obama and Hillary: Watched some Obama and Hillary speeches and cheered for them.

Poptropica: Played this game umpteen number of times. I am an expert now!

Cube runner, Monkey ball, Tap tap revenge: Played all these games on the iPhone.

Went to temple: Went to the temple a few times. We go there every alternate Sundays. I also went to the Malibu temple, which is very beautifully carved.

Swimming pool birthday party:

Raging waters: Saved the best for the last; went to raging water park and had so much fun.

I feel dizzy, just thinking about all the things I did.

Back to school now!

My friend S.

And my friend D.

We played balloon toss and raced a bit. I didn’t win those but I got two consolation prizes, so it wasn’t too bad.

The chicken was really good at the picnic and we had a lot of fun!

Here are my ratings:

Disney Land : 6 Starts

Castaic Lake Camping : 7 stars

Any questions?

That’s intense!

For a sort of delayed birthday celebration, I took some of my friends to the comedy club where I am taking classes!

All of being rather silly!

Climbing up in my dad’s convertible!

Skitty is so cute! Skitty tends to chase her own tail, so I wouldn’t trust her too much.

Oddish Pokemon

Oddish is cute and odd little pokemon from the new series Legends Awakened.

Yesterday, for the YMCA field trip of the week, we went to Raging Waters. There, it’s like, water every where.

The first ride that we went on, was not exactly, a ride; it was a part of a gigantic water playground. The ride, went down, then to the right, and SPLASHHHHHHH! And water comes over your face. We did that a couple of times.

Then we started the real rides. The first one was called the Black Hole! As you know, black holes are black, because it absorbs everything, so even the light can’t come out. You have to go on a two person tube, to go on the ride.

First, you go in a couple of cork screws but thankfully it is not pitch dark there. It has a couple of lights every few feet.Then there is an opening on the side and AHHHHHHHHHHH, you go down…, then you land in a shallow pool, where you pass your tube to the next person in the line. May be it was called Dark Hole, it seemed like Black hole to me.

The next ride that we went on, was called Raging Racers.

In raging racer, you are sitting on a mat, head first, and you race down huge curves on a water slide. And at the bottom there was one that water shot out of the ground, and I thought the ride was over. But there was one more curve and I was not ready for it… so I went AHHHHHHHHH!

This ride was different from the others, because you had to sit in raft, which would carry five people. In this ride, we went on turns and if your back was faced to the wall, the raft, would be partially on the wall. In this ride, I was sitting with Lilly, Audrie, and a councellor named Berlyn.

Then it was the Dragon’s Den!

In this ride, there was one down side; there was an extremely long line to get on this one.

First, you are on the top; you go straight a little bit and then down in to a tunnel…AHHHHHHHHHH! Then you go inside this place and it circles around and then you go in to a smaller place and in to a small waterfall, and land inside a shallow pool; and sometimes the life guard pours water on you.

Isn’t it funny, he is supposed to save us, but he is pouring water on us using his megaphone!!!!

This was not a ride; it was an obstacle course. I tried to cross it, but my hands hurt, and the person before me kept swinging the rope, so I couldn’t get on to the next pad. So I fell in the water; but it was pretty shallow, so I could walk across.

I would give four “AHHHHHHH’ to black hole, I would give three AHHHHHHs to raging racers and four AHHHHHHs to thunder rapids, and three AHHHHHs to Dragon’s Den!

Whoooo, that’s a lot of AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHs.

It was a raging fun outing; perfect for a hot summer day in Southern California.

Hmm, Probopass, always the strange looking one.

New Stadium card.

Pokemons from Legend Awaken!

Some really cute and nice Pokemons in this series. I like the Dratini with its rainbow too.

I am ready with my super soaker.

Las Vegas was fun!
