You Voted For It, I Posted It!

Helllloooooo, everyone!

So sorry I haven't posted in so long!! I've been a teeny bit stressed with school since I've fallen behind in math and stuff. And I've been spending a lot of time with my family. BUT I'M BACK WITH A POST NOW, SO YAY!! XD

A week ago, I put up a random poll asking what I should post about next because I like knowing what sort of posts you all like and wanted to see how it would go to have this poll. It went pretty well! I might do this kind of thing again. ;)

Since there is a tie, I'll do the one I feel like doing most right now and do the other one next week, don't you worry! ^.^

Art and edits time! (Though I must admit, I don't have a ton of edits to show you. Hmm, maybe I'll just make one for the post. XD)

This was an experiment I did on Chicken Smoothie, I was testing out the smearing tool and airbrush and stuff. I kinda made it into Hyrule Castle from Breath of the Wild but it's super messyyyyy! I kinda like the mess of it, though. :D

(If you want to see it on CS, click here!)

I really ship Ghirahim and Fi from Skyward Sword and I love both of their characters so I drew themmm! ^.^ I seriously could gush about them but that would be boring. XD

I'm pretty proud of how I did each of their cloaks, to be honest. :D

(Again, if you want to see this on CS, click here!)

This is a WIP of my AJ Friendship Quilt! I still have to add two patterns and then I think I'm done?! But I really love how the first two patterns turned out so yay! The cherries... turned out way better than I thought they would. XD

This is also a WIP! It's for Koolest and I had started it, like, in September? But I didn't really feel motivated to work on it until this month. I'm not so sure how it'll turn out but hey, it might look better once it's done!!

Cuz that shading looks funky. *glares at it*

Also, in case your wondering, this is the dog I'm drawing:

 *looks back at drawing* Yup. I have a lot to fix and add. XD

I'm watching my brother play Undertale and I keep noticing things I want to draw (Like Mettaton lying on Undyne's piano and eating grapes... XD) and one of them was baby Toriel with baby... Frisk's ancestor? I guess?

source

This is shown in the beginning story of the game and I just loved the thought of baby Toriel hanging out with Frisk's.... ancestor.... or something... XD It's still a WIP but I like how it's turning out. ;) When it's done, I might post it or you can find it in my CS gallery.

This was one of my first drawings on CS and it's still nottttttt done. I have a lot to fix and add (like ARMS. XD) but I like how I did the pattern on the Inklings shirt. I love Splatoon soooo I really wanted to try drawing an Inkling. I should try drawing a guy one sometime too. :o

Anotherrrrrr WIP. (I'm working on too many things at once...) It'sssss Frisk from Undertale! I'm using those markers I got at Christmas and I am not used to how wet they are so IT'S SO MESSY. XD

*wonders why only one leg is colored* Eh. I have weird methods. XD

I gotta color this one so IT'S ANOTHER WIP, GUYS. XD

I..... don't exactly know how to explain this one... It was a crazy roleplay done by Swirl, Sarah, and Ja and it had to do with a dragon, DanTDM and his pugs, a cat from Warriors (WHO HAS WINGS BECAUSE OF A THEORY SARAH HAS. XD), and a unicorn. So um... yeah. It was insane to read. But super hilarious. XD

I must say, I really like how it turned out. Although the cat is the size of a unicorn?????? IGNORE THAT.

And before I end this post, lemme throw in an edit I made just now.

I like making CS edits so I asked Koolest to show me one of her favorite pets and it was her pet named Savitar. (after the villain in The Flash. I wouldn't look him up cuz there's tons of spoilers.)

The quote is by Savitar, by the way! ;D

Anyhoo, have an amazing day, I'm gonna try to write JH sooooooon, and...

Jam on!

Comment call: Did you like the art and edit? How are you all doing? :D

A VERY Random Post!

Me: Howdy, I'm LOSTY! LOSTY the FAIRY!
You guys: *stares weirdly at Lost* Since when did you call yourself Losty? Didn't you say you didn't like that nickname?
Me: *totally ignores You Guys* Hmmm... You're new to the blog, aren'tcha?
You guys: *glares* What?! We aren't new! We've been here... well... since Swirl came up with intros like these!
Me: *stills ignores You Guys* Golly, you must be so confused. Someone ought to teach you how things work around here! I guess little old me will have to do. Ready?
You guys: *is frustrated* Ready? For what?
Me: Here we go! *somehow transports everyone to a very dark room*

You guys: *leaps back in surprise* What?!
Me: You idiot! It's kill or BE killed! Do you want to have a bad time?
You guys: *runs away in fear* AHHHHHH, LOSTY IS A MURDERER!!!!!!
Me: Nyeh heh heh! I, the great Losty, scared them away!

Ahem, sorry for that very Undertale-ish intro! I guess I've been in an Undertale mood lately. XD

(You have no idea how long it took to make that edit, heh.)

Today's post is going to be a bit random! Let's just start off by giving Swirl and Sarah the art I promised to make them for the summer story contest... uh, yup. Let's ignore the fact I said "summer" and pretend I didn't take a VERY long time to give it to them.

You guys: *says in mocking tone* You took a ver-

SHUSH, YOU GUYS! I know I took FOREVERRR! XD

Let's not take any longer! Here is Sarah's requested art for her being the runner-up of the contest!

You can crop out the words if you want! I just wrote it because my sketchbook page looked so empty. XD (I draw too tiny.)

I hope you enjoy it, Sarah! ^.^ (I thinkkkk I saw somewhere that you didn't like how AJ cheetahs were drawn? I saw that after I drew this so I apologize! D:)

I personally like how I drew the tree. It turned out good! ^.^

And now! Here are Swirl's two requests!

It's her dog on Chicken Smoothie! I actually had a ton of fun drawing it. ^.^ Now I really want to draw a bunch of CS pets. XD

Swirl, free feel to crop out the words too! I added them for the same reason as Sarah's. XD I hope you like it!!

And lastly, it's King Ekon from the story from her wining story! I copied a bit off of Swirl's drawing of him that she drew as a reference for me. ^.^ I had fun drawing his eye, it's so... sassy. XD

Again, you may crop the words out! :D And I hope you enjoy it!


Speaking of contests, it's time to announce the winners of the Dab Police contest!

Since only three people entered and there's three winners... EVERYONE WON, WOO!!! XD

Here's all the entries:

Story written by AJKraft:

Kraft brushed the slime off her jacket and walked through the portal hallway. Surely her home had to be somewhere... A sudden explosion caught her attention. Coming from a neon rainbow portal was a pug! Kraft squealed like a happy baby and ran towards it, but then it did the unthinkable...

The pug

Dabbed.

Kraft let out a blood-curdling screech and drew her sword. She was determined to uncover the cause of this pug's awful actions. She jumped through the portal, landing in a VERY bizarre world. A bizarre looking Knuckles walked over.
"heyo Kraf. Do you kno de whey?" He asked. Kraft hit him with a book and ran through the jungle. Plants with Doge faces widened their eyes at her.
"I can't be..." Kraft looked up to see Nyan cat, who was being ridden by a crudely drawn Shrek.
"I'M IN MEME LAND!" Kraft tripped over a fidget spinner and lands in a pit of lava. She stood up and drank some water.
The bottle was knocked out of her hand by a green frog on a unicycle.
"Dat Boi!" Kraft grinned.
"NO. DAB BOI!" Dat Boi dabbed. Kraft's eyes began to water with rainbow sparkles.
"no... NOT DAT BOI!" She wailed.
Kraft drew a badge on her jacket with a sharpie.
"THE DAB POLICE SAYS NO DABBING!" She yelled. DanTDM appeared out of a tree.
"ya called?"
"NO. YOU DID THE WRONG STORY MODE ENDING. DONT TALK TO ME MOR MY SON EVER AGAIN!" Kraft threw a Cheezit at DanTDM, then apologised.
"sorry... All these memes.. I'm going crazy!" She cried. Then, an army of 10 year old boys emerged from a bush
"DAB!" They yelled, holding a water bottle in the air.
Kraft wiped her nose.
"NO!" Her eyes began to glow red, "I SHALL NEVER DAB!" The children cried and ran home to their Doritos while Kraft went to find some better memes.

Story written by Sarahkey8:

The Meeting At AJHQ

AJHQ #1 sat at the board meeting that was about what the new animal could be, with allthe other AJHQ's. Kate was scrolling on the computer looking at Gellyjones videos when on the side she saw the words "Dab Police" by Dantdm AJHQ #1 happened to see and shouted "I GOT IT!" Everyone looked at her, confused. "DO YOU SEE THAT VIDEO!?" AJHQ #1 now nicknamed Po. "Which one?" Mo asked Po, "DAB! DAB POLICE! WE SHOULD MAKE A NEW TYPE OF HORSE.
A FAT
HORSE
AND IT WILL DAB!!!
OH AND ALSO ITS PLAY WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HORSES!!"
Everyone gasped. Clark gasped and grasped his flask. "OH MY GOODNESS THAT IS JUST PERFECT PO!! JOE AND TOE GO WORK ON THAT NOW!"
Kate looked confused. "What is it Kate?" Clark asked, "What should the play be?" Mo's ringtone went off, it was the 3-2-1Penguins theme song "A ROCKE!" Kate exclaimed "BRILLAINT THIS ANIMAL IS JUST GOING TO BE A MESS!"

IT'S STORY TIME, YOUNG ONES! GRANNY LOST IS HERE TO TELL YOU A STORY SO SIT YOUR BUTT DOWN AND LISTEN. XD

Aheeemmm.

A few days ago, Koolest and I were downstairs watching Josiah (our older brother) play Breath of the Wild on our Wii U. We were really hyper for some reason and Josiah was like, "Oh yeah, I am going to go attack a lynel!"

Now, a lynel is basically a mix between a centaur and a minotaur. So it's a horse with a mane and horns. It's also a bit humanoid. But these guys are one of the toughest badies to fight in the game!

For one, they can trample Link (Josiah is playing as him) easily.

Second of all, they are VERY fast and are good with a bow and arrow.

And thirdly, I looked up how to kill one and you need this power called Stasis upgraded to freeze lynels for a short time, jump onto it and then attack it from there until it bucks you off. Then repeat. Again and again.

Here's the catch.

Josiah doesn't have that power upgraded.

And the lynel had electricity arrows. And it was raining. Bad combo. XD

So anyway, Josiah rides in with his trusty steed named Blocky (We named it Blocky because one time it went right in front of Josiah just as he was about to shoot a monster with an arrow. So it blocked him... thus it's name Blocky. We also named a horse Oreo and Cookieeeeeeee. We are SUCH good horse naming experts. XD) and rides up to the lynel and one swipe with it's sword and uh, Link dies. :1

So Josiah kept going back and trying to kill it but ended up dying a ton. Around that time, we were all yelling about lynels when I misheard Josiah or Koolest and thought they said something about a lynel in space. So I yelled "A LYNEL IN SPACE?!" and Josiah yells back "THAT'S A MOVIE I WOULD WATCH!" I was like "WHAT? A MOVIE?" and Josiah claimed it sounded like a movie title.

So, uh... me and Koolest created this:

 

Wouldn't you want to watch a movie about a centaur/minotaur wearing a space helmet and jetpack in space surrounded by epic explosions and a UFO? Josiah Dyck would!

 

Uh, I basically just wanted to show off my weird edit. That took me an hour and a half to create. XDDD

 

Welp, this post has gotten... out of hand. And really random. I promise a semi-normal post will be up next week!!

 

Have an amazing day, aren't you glad I'm on a four day weekend I know I am, and...

 

Jam on!!

 

Comment call: I've got nothing... How's your week been? :D Let's chat!



The Bibliophile Sweater Tag - A Sweatery Bookish Tag!

Hey guys! :D Today's post is going to non-AJ related so if you came here for loads of AJ talk and not a post about sweaters and books and sweater-ish books, then you may leave right now! No hard feelings. *covers face and sobs*

AHEM. Ignore that. ^

This wonderful graphic is made by the tag's creator, Mary Horton!

A few weeks ago, my oldest sister Tracey Dyck at Adventure Awaits tagged for me for a super adorable tag created by Mary Horton at Sunshine and Scribblings. (Knowing that there was some confusion last time I posted a non-AJ related tag, no this is not created by me nor is it an AJ tag. XD)

Mary whipped up some rules and their pretty simple. Let's read them, shall we? ^.^

- Give the person who tagged you a never-ending supply of cookies (or just thank them - either works) (Thank you, Tracey for tagging me! *looks in cookie jar* There's only one... Here, you can have it! *gives to Tracey* ^-^)
- Answer all the questions and use the blog graphic for this tag somewhere in your post (Already done. ;))
- Pass along the tag to at least five other people (Oooo, what if I can't decideeeee? XD)
- Wear a sweater (okay, this is optional...but why wouldn't you want to??) (*looks down* Darn, I'm not wearing a sweater and with the heat on in the house, it's too warm! >.< My camp shirt will do!)

 

Simple enough! Let's start!

 

Fuzzy sweater (a book that is the epitome of comfort)

Alright, so, I hope I'm getting this right because I don't exactly know what epitome means and DICTIONARY.COM IS NOT REALLY TELLING ME. XD

But I'm guessing it just means it's comforting. In that case, 11 Birthdays is a perfect example. I have reread this book... 5 times? Maybe 7 times. Who knows?! I've read it a bunch and IT'S SO AMAZING. Of all the Willow Falls books, this one has a special place in my heart. It's an easy read and has amazing chemistry and Leo is awesome. ;)

Striped sweater (book which you devoured every line of)



This book sucked me into it's dystopian world the moment I read the first line:

 

"He began his life standing up, surrounded by cold darkness and stale, dusty air."

 

Doesn't it already sound intriguing? Just writing it down makes me want to run (ha, see what I did there?) and start reading it again. I loved every tense moment and every deep talk between the characters. I loved how all the characters sometimes just rubbed each other the wrong way and got angry. I really did devour each word, each line, each page. If you haven't read The Maze Runner yet, I highly suggest you do!

 

 Ugly Christmas sweater (book with a weird cover)

 

Alright, all the Deltora Quest books have really weird covers so I just picked the first one. I am always slightly embarrassed when I check these ones out of the library. 0.O And... yeah. It took me a while to figure this one out since I love a lot of book covers!



Cashmere sweater (most expensive book you've bought)

 

Okay, okay, so I didn't buy this book, it was given to me but it was the only expensive book that I owned that I could think of! It's about $23 in Canadian dollar and $21 or something in American. But to me, it's worth the extra money! Disenchanted The Trials of Cinderella is the sequel to Grounded The Adventures of Rapunzel and both are amazing twists on fairy-tales! Again, I highly recommend the series!

 



Hoodie (favorite classic book)

This is my actual copy!

Oh man, this is definitely my favorite classic. The plot, the characters, the style of the writing, it is just the best classic EVER. I really love the humor. And the fact that Peter Pan has a slightly dark side to him, that he isn't just a unique little boy who still has baby teeth and spunk? Now that is an interesting part of the tale. And Hook, don't get me started on that hilarious coward of a pirate. XD And Wendy is incredibly motherly even to Tinkerbell who is constantly trying to kill her. Honestly, just pick this book up some time read it! (Make sure it's unabridged!)

 

Cardigan (book that you bought on impulse)

 

So, I bought Behind The Gates at a used book faire on impulse because I had never seen this series before in my life. If I had, I wasn't interested in reading it. I just saw this book in mint condition in the middle of all the roughed up books along with the second book in the series in the same condition. So I picked them up and decided to buy them! I didn't even read the back to see what it was about. When I finally read this book a year or so after I bought it, I realized I had bought a really amazing book! Cheers!

 

Turtleneck sweater (book from your childhood)



Well, I may be copying the book Josiah chose but this is the book I remember hearing the most growing up. I remember my mom reading it to me while I studied the illustrations with awe. Even then I liked looking at art. ^.^ It's a really great book for kids. I'm blessed that my parents read it to me as a child. And, to kind of quote Josiah, this story has a likeness to the story read in a The Flash episode called "The Runaway Dinosaur." <3

Homemade knitted sweater (book that is Indie-published)

Sadly, I have not read any Indie-published books. At least, I'm pretty sure I haven't... Maybe in my sleep? o.O



V-neck sweater (book that did not meet your expectations)

 

The first book in The Selection series was really amazing. I loved all the characters and the writing style. It did have a few too many mushy gushy love scenes that went a little too far but I handled it. I was expecting the same in The Elite but sadly, it went downhill. There were even MORE almost inappropriate scenes and the main character seemed to be cheating on the two guys falling for her. Having special moments with one guy one day and then the next day with the other guy. Seems a little wrong to me. I then found out the third book had an actual inappropriate scene and I dropped the series. It stinks because this series had so much potential!

 

Argyle sweater (book with a unique format)

 

 

This book. This book is amazing. The writing style makes the whole book seem like a giant poem! The shorter sentences with lots of describing of feelings and emotions and pain. The whole world is filled with pain what with having no decisions in life because the government pretty much decides your whole life. Where you work, who you love, when you die. Yet again, I am telling you, read this book! ^.^

 

Polka dot sweater (a book with well-rounded characters)



 

Okay, before anyone screams "You already used The Maze Runner as an answer and that's THREE books, not one! CHEATER!" please let me explain! XD

 

As soon as I got to this answer, I thought of these books. But I had already used The Maze Runner so I tried thinking of another book. But I knew if I didn't choose this series, I'd be lying. So, I may be a cheater, this may be breaking a million tag rules, but all I care about is being honest!

 

I picked this series because I absolutely love the main characters. They all have lots of flaws, they all mess up, they say stupid things at times, but they all care for each other and look out for one another. They act like normal humans and sometimes humans are amazing and sometimes they aren't.

 

And lemme tell ya something. I'm in the middle of reading The Death Cure and am bawling my eyes out about the characters. But here's the catch. I have never cried reading a book. That, to me, shows this series is awesome.

 

 

 

Thank you so much again, Tracey, for tagging me! This was a delightful tag! And now! I hereby tag:

 

Swirlshine at The Weekly Jammer News!

Sarahkey8 at Animal Jam Friendship Community

Ja983 at Animal Jam Community

And anyone else who would like to do this tag! (Sorry, couldn't think of 5 people!)

 

Have an amazing day everyone!

 

Jam on!

Me: *sways* I remember I remember those eyes!
You guys: *notices earbuds in Lost's ears* Aha! *yanks them out*
Me: Hey! I was listening to music! *attacks You Guys*
You guys: AHHH, WE'RE GETTING ATTACKED! *runs with Lost's earbuds and MP3*

Heh, if anyone can guess which song I was listening to, you get a free chocolate chip cookie. XD

Well, I promised a post with info on my vacation and now I'm gonna do that!

Me: *gets distracted by good song on MP3* Oh, this one is good. :o
You guys: *gives warning look*
Me: *whimpers*

Ahem, well, I am sorry that this post will be totally un-AJ related but I hope that's alright! I have a lot of pictures to share and stories to tell so sit back, relax and read on! (I will be telling it in a sort of diary ish way. XD

Day 1/July 31st

The Beginning of the Journey

Today started off with the hydro going off.

Yup, at 5:50 in the morning, I woke up because of the sudden quietness. It's amazing how quiet the house was. Something was off and I realized it was because a house is never completely quiet. Even without the soft hum of the fridge felt weird.

Anyhoo, I lay in bed, awake, just waiting for the hydro to come back on and it FINALLY did at 6:30. So I bounced out of bed and packed my last minute stuff.

Then after we stuffed everything into our van, we were off!

We drove for a few hours, including going over the border to the US, we stopped at a yummy bagel place. I got a BLT and raspberry lemonade which was delicious! Then we did some grocery shopping which was humorous cause I was hyper and was talking probably nonstop. XD After grocery shopping, we stopped at a YUMMY frozen yogurt place and I heaped mine with brownie pieces, cookie dough, and more. Then we hit the road again!

This picture was taken when we were almost at our destination!

We reached our cabin after an hour or so and unloaded all of our stuff. I always love exploring cabins and checking out rooms. ^.^ Me and my sisters found the room that we would be sharing. It was quite small, probably cause the bed and bunk bed took up a lot of room but it was cozy. ^-^ After supper, we went out to the lake which was maybe 3-4 minutes away.

We're almost at the lake!

Just a cool sign near the cabin. :)

The lake!

The water looked so tempting that I went into the water with my siblings. We weren't going to get wet since we weren't in our swimsuits but uh, we got wet. XD When we got out of the water, some minks ran right by us on the beach! They jumped onto some rocks and scurried away. They were so adorable. :D

When we walked back, my sisters and I watched the first 2 episodes of Avatar The Last Airbender. (Me and Koolest had already watched those episodes before but we want to show Tracey the show.) After we ate snack, we all went to bed. (Hehe, at 11pm which I don't normally do. XD)

Day 2/August 1st

First Day at the Cabin

Today was basically just a chill day at the cabin which was very relaxing. ^.^

In the afternoon, we all went swimming for an hour or so. The cabin had a two person kayak/canoe and paddle board so we brought them both to the lake! At one time, Tracey, Josiah, and I all went on the paddle board and lemme tell ya, it was hard to balance. We were sitting on it so we had to balance in just a certain way. It was quite funny! XD

Anyway, it got dark super fast and windy too so we hurried inside and read and played Skip bo and laughed. ^.^ In the evening, we watched an episode of The Flash and Once Upon A Time. :D

Day 3/August 2nd
Shopping Day #1

After chilling for the morning, we were off to go shopping at a small town!

At one of the stores, guess what I saw?!

IT'S MIRA, GUYS! I FOUND AN ACTUAL MIRA STATUE!!

Oh! Funny story! At one store, I was about to follow my mom and dad when this old lady walks like literally right in front of me. She looks at me and I am expecting her to say something like sorry or excuse me but no. All she says is "Mmmmm!!" and then walks away. O,o So then I had a running joke for the day saying that old ladies don't say excuse me. XD And actually, a couple of more old ladies walked in my way and didn't say excuse me! XDDD

After walking around for a bit, we stopped for lunch and got pizza and fries. Then we did some more grocery shopping. :P

At the grocery store, guess what I saw?!

That's right! 2 AJ toys! A monkey and arctic wolf. Except, the monkey is supposed to be smaller, right? I think the monkey is at least a fake one made by some other company. Maybe? XD

After grocery shopping, , we stopped at an ice cream place!

Credit to Tracey Dyck

I got cookie dough. XD

Then we drove back to the cabin! Us siblings went to the lake and swam for a while. It was chilly cause the sun wasn't out much and it was a little windy. We played monkey-in-the-middle with one 'monkey' and three people throwing a Frisbee or water missile.

In the evening, I watched "The Maze Runner" for the FIRST time! It was absolutely amazing! Sure, they practically changed everything from the book but it worked nicely in the movie! (One big thing that they changed is that in the book, the Grievers are slug-like while in the movie, they are slimy spiders. Oh well, it worked out well!) I loved the movie so much, I am going to add it to my favorite movie list on my Blogger profile! :D

After us siblings chatted about the movie, we all went to bed since we all tired from the busy day!

Day 4/August 3rd
Shopping Day #2

Credit to Tracey Dyck

It looks so cloudy!

Today was cold and rainy so we decided to go shopping to a larger city an hour away!

Our first stop was a book store! And of course, I got some books!

The Maze Runner//Camp Half-Blood Confidential//Winter Turning

I just had to buy my own copy of The Maze Runner! (I had just finished reading Koolest's copy a few days ago) And I like Percy Jackson so I'll read that guidebook after I get caught up with Olympian stuff. And Winter Turning is the next book I have to read for Wings of Fire. The cover is so pretty. :O

Then we stopped by Target and I got...

MY FIRST EVER DEN SET!!!! :O

I also got a CUPCAKE Adopt-A-Pet house and I felt very happy since I had never seen anyone post about these. (Of course when I get home, everyone has one. XD Oh well!)

Then we ate lunch! I shared chicken, garlic bread, coleslaw, and fries with my dad. Then we drove to Walmart and I got MORE AJ toys!!

I got the two treasure chests at Walmart and the cupcake at Target!

My first AJ plushie! It's super cute AND it was quite cheap at Walmart! Like, 3 dollars!

Then Koolest, Josiah, and I went to Gamestop while Mom and Tracey went to a clothes store and Dad went to another store. I didn't buy anything but looking at the Funko Pop figurines was fun! I really want to buy some of those... XD

After, we went grocery shopping AGAIN! And we bought -wait for it- 50 cream cheese containers!! I know, that sounds insane! But lots of flavors of cream cheeses aren't in Canada and we always have them on bagels so... We bought lots! XD

Then we went on a hunt with our GPS for a donut store that was open. But after checking a few and finding them closed, we gave up and went to Caribou Coffee where I got a delicious coffeeless dark chocolate brownie cold drink. IT. WAS. AMAZING. Also, on the wall, there was a blackboard where anyone can write facts about themselves. It was so cool, I just had to do it!

Credit to Tracey Dyck

Hehe, I wish I had left my username just because then if anyone who played AJ saw this, they could buddy me. Oh well! I left my mark. ;)

When we finally got home, it was 7pm! After a late supper, us siblings watched an episode of Once Upon A Time. Then me and my sisters watched the 2nd last episode of OUAT season 5! So goooood! XD I love that TV show so much.

Then right before bed, Tracey read me and Koolest a fairy tale for fun! It was called "The Tale of A Youth Who Set Out to Learn What Fear Was." It was hilarious and made no sense! (Note: it includes a boy trying to warm up a corpse and playing bowling with bones and skulls. Don't ask! XD) It was 12am before I fell asleep! :o

Day 5/August 4th
Chilling at the Cabin

In the morning, I basically just read, played DS, and watched Josiah play Tomodachi Life on his 2DS XL. (In case you didn't know, Tomodachi Life is about making Miis and letting them interact on an island. You create anyone you want basically. People can date, get married, be friends, and more. XD) Josiah made me! My voice is so high and squeaky! XD (You can adjust people's voice's and personalities.)

After lunch, we took our big inflatable 'island' thing and paddle board to the lake! It was SUPER windy so there were huge waves. But I had lots of fun because I love swimming with my fam. ^.^

When we got back, I was tired (I always am after swimming) so me and my sisters watched another episode of Avatar. Then we drew together. (I may or may not have started a Blogger related drawing. ;)) After hamburgers, we all watched an episode of The Flash. Then Tracey, Koolest, Mom, Dad, and I watched an episode of Once Upon A Time. :D

Then us girls did our little vacation tradition. We played MASH. XD (We aren't serious about it, it's just for fun and laughs.) After we ate snack, Tracey started reading me and Koolest another fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast. She got half done before we decided to sleep. :)

Day 6/August 5th
Swimming Again

Today I got up and read my book, "Donut Go Breaking My Heart. After breakfast, my dad called me and Koolest outside cause there was a lady with her dog!

SO. CUTE!

Goldie, the dog, was SUPER friendly! She let me and Koolest pet her and loved it. XD She just lay there being pure adorable. So, I ran inside and grabbed the camera. When I came back, she look so happy to see me! I snapped a lot of pictures. ^-^

Oh muddy little puppy!! <3

Her owner said that Goldie is part Shih Tzu which is super cute! ^.^

Anyhoo, in the afternoon, we went out to the lake again! We took the two person kayak/canoe and inflatable 'island' thing. There were 5 boats in the shallow waters so we swam past those. I swam, pulled Josiah on the inflatable 'island,' paddled on the paddle board, and pushed people off the inflatable 'island.' XD

This was literally our backyard. :D

There were lots of squirrels and chipmunks running around. ^.^

When we got back from swimming, us girls drew more. (Hehe, more of my Blogger drawing. ;)) After supper, us girls watched the LAST episode of Once Upon A Time season 5!!! IT WAS SO GOOD! (We've been watching season 5 since January... XD) Then we watched the hilarious bloopers which made me cry from laughing! XD

Then we all went outside and had a campfire with s'mores. ^.^ We went around saying things we appreciate about one person in our family, then we went to the next person, etc. It was good. ^.^

Right before bed, Tracey finished reading Beauty and the Beast. Then it was bed time!

Day 7/August 6th

Another Relaxing Day

Today I read and chilled with my family. ^.^ It was super nice!

In the afternoon, we went out to swim! :D We took the paddle board out and me and Koolest used it for a while which was super fun. At one point, we couldn't turn around and we were far away from everyone else so I jumped off to turn us around but I didn't realize the water was up to my shoulders already so that was a shock. XD

More nature! XD

After swimming for 2 hours, I sat around and read and relaxed. After supper, us siblings watched and episode Once Upon A Time. Then we all watched an episode of The Flash. Then it was bed time!

Day 8/August 7th
Coming Back

Sadly, all good things must come to an end.

After we packed up and checked and double checked closets/drawers, we hit the road after we ate breakfast. After an hour or so, we stopped for lunch again at the bagel place and I got another BLT. But this time I had mixed berry lemonade. ^.^

After a few more hours, we were home! It felt weird to be back for some reason. After I unpacked and cleaned up, I read all evening.

BOOKS!!

I think you all know that I love books. A lot. XD And for vacations, I also choose certain books to bring along to read. Want to see what books I brought this year?! ^-^

(Yes, that's right. I took my books on a photo shoot around my yard. Don't ask. XD)

The Maze Runner//Best Friends (Until Someone Better Comes Along)//Call of the Alphas//Donut Go Breaking My Heart//Cress

YES, I GOT THE AJ BOOK FROM AMAZON A MONTH AGO! I wanted to read it on vacation. ^.^

Hand reveal? XD

I recommend all these books to you! ^.^ They were all amazing in their own ways!

BONUS!!!!

A few days before my vacation...

I got...

MY AJ CAP!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, I love this cap so much! I wore a bunch on vacation, mostly the first day. (I got a few weird looks. XDD)

The weird thing is, this hat is from China. It took almost a whole month to come! Plus, it came in a bag, with a piece of plastic to keep it in a cap shape. Not much protecting.

BUT IT'S HERE AND I LOVE IT!!!

If you ever see a girl wearing a cap like this, ask if it's me. XD

And that concludes this long post about my journey!
