My first headache

Hi, The other night my head was hurting so bad. My mom said it was a headache. She gave me a homeopathic remedy Nat. Mur and I did magic socks. It made me feel better but it took me awhile to fall asleep. My mom sat by me till I fell asleep.

Here is a link to hydrotherapy and you can watch my video with my sister.

Happy Halloween!!!

I had so much fun!! My friends and I went to a party and went trick or treating!! My sister got piles of candy. I mean TONS !! My sister was a one horned one eyed flying purple people eater with a short haired purple wig which was hilarious!!! ha ha!!

I was a black spider person with a gray ripped up piece of fabric as a shawl. It was not rainy it was just cold. Scratch that, it was freezing!!

Like a week ago, there was a little bit of snow on Mauna Kea. Could be a cold winter here in Hawaii!

volcano - part 2/ plants

Hi it's me again! Watch this video please!! I made it when we were at Volcano National Park!


There was a plant that looked like a lollipop!! How funny is that!! When it grows up it turns into a fern (I forgot what it is called). there is also a plant that is soooo beautiful.



Right now I can not think of anything to write. 3 minutes later... oh yeah I forgot to tell about Flo. I got to canter !!!! I also rode Butterfly and Princess. Butterfly is a Palomino which is pretty much a blond horse. Princess is a Sorrel which is an all dark brown horse. Princess is going to have a baby!!! So is Tango and Baby Chips!!!

Have a great day!

kilauea volcano

Hi I just got back from volcano!! Oh yeah I live on the BIG Island of Hawaii and we have an active volcano!! Above is the pichure of the Hawaiian goddess Pele. Pele is the goddess of fire and lava. When I went to the volcano Kilauea, I took pictures of the volcano during the day and night. During the day Kilauea is all smoky and during the night you can see red glowing lava underneath the surface. Sulpher is the gas from the volcano and it smells really bad.

This is a picture of Kilauea volcano smoking during the day










This is me, my dad and my sister









This is Kilauea at night






See ya later,

artichokes

Hi!

The other night we had artichokes for dinner. My dad was saying he was almost at the heart and my sister asked if it was still beating! She is funny ( and weird).

Have a great day,

glass straws

Hi!

My mom bought these glass straws that have these dots on the sides. When she first let us use them it kinda freaked me out because the dots were black and looked like flies! I love the straws and it is better than the plastic ones we used to throw out.

See you,

Merrin

School Lunches

HI!

My favorite school lunches are my mom s spaghetti with home made tomato sauce and meatballs. I also like Romaine lettuce. Romaine lettuce is a type of lettuce that is crunchy on the inside and regular lettuce on the outside. If you like toppings on your salad you can put some of your favorite toppings in a glass Tupperware container so you can use the toppings to make your salad more exciting. I don’t like toppings or salad dressing.

the parrot encounter

Hi!

The other morning (at 6am!) when my dad was leaving for work, he found a parrot walking up our driveway! The parrot was wet and squawking. My dad put his finger down to him and he crawled up to my dads shoulder. We ended up taking care of it for 5 days. We made flyers and ask our neighbors if they were missing a bird. Well we didn’t find its family but we found it a new family. It was s sad to see him go but since we have 2 cats and a dog we just couldn’t keep the parrot.

after school activities

In the fall I play soccer and my dad coaches my team. I like soccer because I get to meet new people and have fun! I also horseback ride. I have been riding for almost five years now! My favorite horses at the barn are Rosie, Baby chips, Princess and Skippy. I might start dancing, but I am not sure yet. Check back !
