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!

Wordle is like a tag cloud; it takes the text from my blog and shows which word is used most often and scales it.

Doesn’t work too well, because it didn’t capture everything important from my blog, but it looks pretty.

I got a lot of great birthday gifts.

(i) A nice cozy winter blue sweater - from my aunt.

(ii) A game of life - from my cousin. This game is very interesting because it has so many different roads to take before you retire. It is good to go to college before you start a career, but before you start the game, it takes a long time to assemble. It took a life time to assemble the game of life!

(iii) I got the RC helicopter from my aunt from Delhi. This one took a long time to train, it would keep spinning until I trimmed it. I had a great time playing with the helicopter. It was nice to see it hovering around the house, when I told it to.

(iv) I got a drawing tablet from my dad. I am learning to draw on my computer using the tablet. It also works like a mouse.

(v) Then I got a gift certificate written in a monkey language (I was my dad’s handwriting), but it was from my mom; and it is for a Bike.

We went looking for one last weekend, but I think I need 22 inch bike and it was hard to find.

I hope I have fun riding this bike.

And then we went to Paris restaurant in Las Vegas for my birthday dinner.

The food at the Paris restaurant was really really good, I liked the chicken, fruits, bread and last but not least desserts, including the mouth watering apple pie.

Great happy birthday was had by all!

When my parents get the iPhone, I want Bubble App in it. It looks so cool.

First, you have to touch the screen and bubbles automatically appear. Then, you can try to pop them or just watch them fall to the bottom.

I finished the Harry Potter’s 4th book; the Goblet of Fire and really really liked it. It was a kind of thick book, even thicker than my pillow but it didn’t take me that long to finish it.

I have the movie, but I decided to wait to finish the book before I saw the movie. So over the next day or two, I will watch the movie.

My dad gave me the DS game “Goblet of Fire” and I just turned it on - the graphics are very nice, I’l tell you if I like the game or not.

Over the summer, I will finish the three (or four) other Harry Potter books and start on the Lord of the Ring books.

Most people think that Harry Potter only has seven books in the series, but there are really eight books; seven in the main series and the eighth one is the Rowling hand wrote for friends and family.

It is supposed to be the book that has stories before the Book 1 of the Harry Potter series began.

This book sold for $3.7 Million dollars. My dad might have to increase my allowance for me to buy this book or I might have to wait for a million years…

My birthday is coming up next week and horrrrayy.. we are going to Las Vegas to celebrate.

I might get to go on the NY-NY roller coaster in Las Vegas that goes past the statue of liberty (the fake Las Vegas one) and the empire state building.

I like going to Las Vegas and we generally stay at Fairfield resort and they have two or three nice big pools and the rooms are large.

I thought about going bungee cord jumping; but I don’t think I will go. I am not scared of it, but I don’t feel so good when I go straight down very fast. But the roller coaster looks like fun from this picture.

I might go to stratosphere ride but I am not sure yet.

I will be nine on 10th of July.

Charizard is a fire/flying type pokemon. At one point he was one of the most powerful pokemon ever; and he still is.

If Charizard becomes furious, the flame at the tip of its tail flares up in a whitish-blue color. Breathing intense, hot flames, it can melt almost anything. Its breath inflicts terrible pain on enemies. Its fiery breath reaches incredible temperatures. It can quickly melt glaciers weighing 10,000 tons.

Charizard EX 105 can cost more than $100 for each card!
