farm olympics






Last Friday, the Farm school that I go to had Olympics games. The games we did were disks, javelin, lunch lugger charoit race, deadlift, and an opstical course. Most of the games were won by Justin's mentor group, and in the end when it was all talled up it was Justin's group that won. And walked away with the awsome trophy!

I was the offical photographer, so i hope that these photos are good because i had an awsome press pase to this event.

Grove skating!












Grove has weekly mini courses, every Wednesday! One mini course this year is skateboarding, well its really teaching Bill to skateboard. Bill is a teacher at Grove, who asked to be taught in the ways of standing on a wooden board with wheels.
These photos are from the first day of the mini course. We road are boards to downtown Redlands and purchased some skating equipment for Bill. This all was very fun!
A few weeks later at Brookside park where the mini course goes to teach bill, we brought along a surf/skate board. We had the genus idea to attach wheels and trucks of a long board(big skateboard), to a long board(the surf board type). Of course some one was going to get hurt, but that is yet to come.
We found that it worked great with two people on the board, so obviously this meant we need to add another person to the equation. So we did and we couldn't ride as fare with three people because we picked up to much speed. I decided that it was the person in the backs job to steer, and i wanted to try the steering. So i hopped on the back and about half way down the hill we began picking up a lot of speed. I was getting worried at this point seeing that we had speed wobbles. One of the wobbles knocked my foot off the edge of the board and then sucked my foot underneath it. My foot then became the break and also became broken.
I have had a cast for almost a week and a half and only have a few left!

awww, don't you love that new blog smell?





Today was the second day of winterums week! Winterums are a yearly thing we do at Grove, they are a week filled with one project that needs to be down. (At least that's what its like at the middle school portion of Grove!) My winterum is drama, i am the official photographer! This is cool, because i get to do nothing but photography!
The drama winterum had a field trip today. We went to the U of R, and learned about theater arts more so. We were given a tour of the costume room, lights room, theater, and the catwalk. The U of R has two theaters, one of which can hold over 300 people. We learned about how lighting works hand in hand with the play and sound. On the field trip we saw a light that could turn different colours, move, turn, and make the light look textured! After that we were allowed to walk the catwalk, which i had been dieing to do!
So that's what i did at school today!

photography






So i have not blogged for a while... i just wanted to say that my photos are up at Stell and are working out great!
I'm just throwing ideas around ,but what you all think of art for heavens sake... oh so you haven't heard of it well its an art show where local artist come and show their work for 3 days. I was thinking this would be a great way to become better known. I also was think of talking to some other coffee shoppes in Redlands and asking if i could show some work there.

Well here are some of the photos i was thinking of appalling with. PLEASE BE HONEST!!!!! I will be putting others on my facebook!

church retreat!





So last weekend i went on a retreat! This retreat included tye dieing, swings, guitars, and all fun natural (and some unnatural). The first thing we did that weekend was tye dieing. It was messy, and that was only half the fun. It was colorful and ineresting. Next i played on the swings with the other teens. In the end Ross (thrasher) was the photographer. I give him full credit for the last photo! But all in all it was great ( (and i love you Aunt Sharon )thanks for fallowing!).

"Big t?"







while on vacation with the one i call my brother,
together we met a tortoise who's name was T and a group of three squirrels
Along with that we played some games
And built a boat witch could not float
But now i am home and all alone to finish my summer.
