Free Store

I got two bowls at the free store at the recycling center.   Also, I got a green mug too.  It had the shape of a hexagon for the cylinder.  The pink bowls made good drums and the cup too.  Everything in the free store is free ... magazines, cards and other things.   It is so cool to have a free store.

Driftwood Shopping Center

When we need to go shopping there is only one place to go ... the "Driftwood Shopping Center".  We drive to the center and come across some buildings.  They look like this:

You can only find these stores in one spot on Pender!

Deer

I saw lots of deer today. On Pender Island there are approximately 1000 deer. Right now, some of the does are pregnant and are ready to drop their fawns. I have not seen a fawn just yet but it won't be long!

Last year I saw a fawn ... it was so cute.   It blended in with the dead grass and rocks.

Did you know : On Pender there is a rule that you cannot hunt deer.

The Trip to Duck Island

This weekend we had a get together and we borrowed our neighbor's paddle boat and Grasee, Sadie and I set of off to Duck Island. There are two islands but only one is saf
e because of the Canada Geese on the other island. On the safe island there is a harbor with an arch. This arch is really cool.  The vines created it, we call it the arch of nature.  This island is so cool.

Homeschooling

Today is the last day of homeschooling for this week. In our homeschooling we have four independent things we have to do in the morning. These things are journal, math, read to self and language (spanish and french). Canadian social studies is with mom and we have piano with dad. For more information on homeschooling go to:

[Parental Note: While homeschooling is not for everyone it is meeting our needs for the month remaining in BC schools after leaving Colorado for the summer and may in the future provide us with mobility at important times]

The Royal Game - A beginning

Sky missing her twin.

Today I played a game where I was a 13 year old snow leopard and Seth was a peregrine falcon. His eyes could shoot lasers. The tips of his feathers shot chains. His wings were shields and his whole body could move the speed of light. On the other hand, I could mind read and had tele-kinesis plus the ability to run really fast and jump really high. In the game Io (Seth's character name) is helping the king and queen of Sosoraita (the island floating in the air where the King and Queen rule) when I, Sky (my character name), sneek in the castle for shelter and food. I am noticed on the third day in the castle. The queen adores me and decides for me to be her intuiter (a magical companion). The adventure begins with the search for my twin sister, whom I have been separated from and who must be the King's intuiter.

Crowns must be united with their owners.

The Zip Line

Today I went on the zip line. When you zip it makes your happy nerve pop up. It is a sensation you have not experienced ever before. And then you hit the end with a bump an laugh. Then the next kid does it and they laugh too. Watch this video for the experience you will want!

We bought the zip carriage online at : http://www.amazon.com/Spring-Swings-Ride-Original-Line/dp/B00000J4BN

May 20, 2013 - A visit to Sitka and a day at the lake

Today I went to my friend Sitka's house for 5-10 minutes. Then got news that another friend was waiting for me at the cabin. When I got home she was still there, mom said to call Ona and say that she could come if she wanted. 5 minutes later we were all playing outside. We played till we all got hungry and figured out that the time was 12:07. Mom, Ona, Grasee, and I
had toasted bread ,eggs, cheese, and tomato sandwiches for lunch.  A few hours
later Seth came back from Sitka's with Sitka and Lluc. At the time I was
swimming with Ona and Grasee, Sitka decided to come too when she got her
bathing suit from home. It was a great day.
