Happy Birthday Breakfast

On the 18th of August Ashlynn and I planned that we wanted to make a special surprise for Grandpa and Grandma on my birthday.

So we decided to make a buffet.

We cut up tomatoes (for our bagels), strawberries and melon.

Ashlynn made fresh lemonade (which was Very sour - but nice)

HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Here's our haunted house boat ride. You ride through on a boat and water comes out at you.....that kinda thing!

The ride......(read from left to right - that's order of how it would have been)

The Hand!

The haunted castle on the right......they say it's home to hundreds of ghosts.....

Big Scary Ghost!

The dreaded tunnel of doom!

Fun in the Sun

One day we went out to the beach with Grandma and her friend Lenny.
First we went to see a lighthouse....

Then we went swimming - not in the ocean - in a VERY big tide pool

Then Ashlynn and I made a ride using things we found on the beach....

A haunted boat ride.

Spoooooooooky!

Days out

Every day we had lots of fun....

Here are some things we did....

Ate lunch with Auntie Eden at a nice Japanese resturaunt

Watched 'Cats vs Dogs' and 'Despicable Me' in 3D with Grandpa.

Went out and did some bird watching at a nearby lake

Paddled around the lake with Grandma.

Off to see California....

Ashlynn & I were back off to California all by ourselves to visit Grandma and Grandpa. 

(Mommy and Daddy were attempting to cycle to Berlin - when that failed they took loads of trains to France)

On the plane we were lucky to sit next to a nice girl also flying UM. Her name was Misha and her parents have awesome jobs. (She's met Harry Potter and Hermione!)

Seeing Grandpa and Grandma again!!

Look at all those rocks...

On the last day we stopped by these big rocks that have been here since before the Roman Times. Scientists and historians are still puzzled as to why and how these rocks are here.

Real or Fake??



Fake - I made those with some rocks I found - It took me ages to move them there - okay fine, it didn't

La Glace - The Coolest ice cream in town!

Awesome ice salon in another walled town that we went into on our last night.
