I am the youngest of two older brother's and I have a pet dog named Clover and a cat named Bosco. I have a lot of fun Hang Gliding with my dad and hope to do it by myself some day. I like to do any kind of sport and especially like baseball and rollerblading.
My dad took me Hang Gliding probably for my last time until he gets his tandem glider. We went up to short divide knowing that it was going to be a nice day to fly. So when we got to the top we set up and did our flight checks and started to bring the glider down to launch. The take off was sweet! We took about two steps and we were off the ground. So about 15-20 minutes later Cody took off and joined us. As usual he was up over 8,000 ft before we were. We were working and trying to catch some thermals. About 1 hour into trying to get up I admitted to my dad that I was getting a little bit of motion sickness. So my dad asked me if I wanted to land and I said I don't really care, so we decided to stay up but we were just going NE back to SW a couple of times until we got lift! We had just shot up about 500-700 ft in the air by a thermal and then we just kept working it until we got up and joined Cody.
Here is a little clip of stuff that my dad put together.
When we got done and broken down we were talking and Cody said that I ''cowboyed up'' which in cowboy language means I didn't give up - even when I wanted to, and because of that we were successful! My dad said that I earned my wings that flight.
On our way up we saw a cougar run right across the road. That is the first cougar I have ever seen in the wild.
I wanted to do something fun before the summer ended with school so me and my brother and my two other friends went and saw The Chroniclas of Narnia Prince Caspian. I think I liked them both about the same.
When I went to my grandpas house he found some golf balls in his workshop. He let me and my cousin have all of them. Hear is a picture of half of them, Justin has the rest. We each got 73.
That is pretty cool because I golf and now I am set for a while!
I went over to my g-ma and g-pa's house last Tuesday and we had some fun doing projects at their house and watching movies. The next day my g-pa and I went over to my cousins house and we played some base ball over at a nearby their house. After that we went over to McDonald's and got some ice cream because we were so sweaty. We went over to my aunts house and we drove down to the movie theater and watched a move. Then we went back to my g-ma's house and me and my cousin Justin slepped over and then we went back down to my aunt Amie's house and we went to the water park. That was really fun! They have a playground in the pool and we had fun on that.
Thank you grandma and grandpa for letting me stay over!!!! Thank you Aunt Amie for letting me have fun with you guise!!!!
My mom and I went to K-mart to go find Josh and Tanner and herself some running shorts for band camp. She said ''we are only going to this one store and then we will go home. SOOOOOOOOO we looked and looked and looked and didn't find any thing but my mom tried on several pairs of shorts and shirts but she didn't like them. Sooooo we went to Old Navy. We spent about 45 minutes there looking at the clearance rack and at T-shirts. My mom got me two T-shirts and found Josh and Tanner a pair of running shorts. After that we went to JC Pennies in the mall and I got board there and went to Fun Unlimited. My mom didn't find any clothes there so then we went to Dillard's in the mall and found me and Tanner a pair of shorts for school and Josh a nice pair of shorts to. But my mom still can't find any running shorts so we went to Shopko and she said that this would be our last stop. So right as my mom walked in she found a two pairs of running shorts for herself. Of course she had to go try them on. So my mom and I have found running shorts for Josh, Tanner, and my Mom. But she said while we were in an intersection ''we need to stop by Wal-mart and get some stuff for Dad's birthday. So we went to Wal-mart and got angel food cake, fresh strawberries, and cool whip. Then when we went to the checking stand my mom needed cash back on her debit card but the ladies card scanner wasn't accepting debit cards so after we had stood in line for 10 minutes we had to move to a different line and wait 10 more minutes. When we got to the other line the ladies debit card scanner wasn't working ether but she did it on her computer. When we got home my Mom made me a sandwich.
I was serching youtube and I found a videoof Jake Brown crashing on his skateboard after he shot up 25 feet in the air.
I would love to fly threw the air on that big air ramp. I think it would be awesome just to be up in the air and doing tricks but it would kill to biff.
Total flight time 2 hours 41 min.
