Dear journal,

Yesterday we ate breakfast and then at 10`clock we went to a friends house. Me and my sisters played with two of their youngest daughters our age. We did things like playing apples to apples, anything goes and we ate lunch. Soon after that we left and did some shopping. When we got home we had homemade spaghetti and sauce for dinner.

3 tbsp sugar

Blend well.

Youth Camp Soar

I just got back from Camp. It was great! Our Speaker was Clinton Faupel from Remedy.FM. It was from July 8Th-11Th. I went w/5 other teens beside me, Hallie (said Haley), Danny and David, Mike and Micheal. I loved it.

Watermelon Ice cream

I found this on the computer, I have not tried it but I think it sounds good.
Enjoy.

What you need:

1 gallon green "lime" sherbert

1 gallon pink "strawberry" sherbert

1 cup chocolate chips

1 big freezer safe bowl

How to make it:

1. Scoop the green ice cream in the bottom of the bowl until it's about a half inch thick and then spread it all around the bowl. You need to cover the whole bowl (sort of like your making another bowl inside the bowl you are using). *This is the watermelon rind (outside of the watermelon).

2. Then fill the rest of the bowl with pink ice cream. *This is the meat (inside) of the watermelon.

3. Then sprinkle the 1 cup of chocolate chips on top (you can still try to mix them into the pink ice cream).

4. Freeze for several hours until firm.

5. Turn bowl upside down on a plate and pull the bowl off, then cut into pieces for you and some friends to eat!

This was a lot of fun to make and eat. I was really surprised how well it turned out, it looked just like real watermelon!

baseball

Yesterday was fun or you could call it tiring. We had 3 different baseball practices - Daniel 10:30, Devorah 2:00 and Abby 5:00. My Mom took me to this Kurtz Brothers in Garfield instead, so that we could learn about container gardening. We got a lot of information. But it was fun.

I`m havin` fun!

Lock in:

Friday I made Truffles out of a bag of crushed Peppermint Oreo`s, Cream cheese and Dark chocolate, Very good. I made them for that night at the church lock in for 3rd-7th grade kids (at our church called kids club). When we got there we had pizza and cake, then went roller skating. When we got back we had ice cream sundaes, the truffles, and other things I can`t remember. Then we set up our sleeping bags. We had a talent show. We tried to watch a movie but they would not work. So we went to sleep. In the morning we had pancakes and sausage. Then got everything together to go home. Our Grandma M. picked us up and then I went to my Grandpa Z.`s house.

Grandparents house:

I`m at my Grandparents house house right now and decided to write a post. I came here cause my Grandpa Z. needed a little help cleaning the house (Grandma Z. is in Florida for a few days) so I came over. We cleaned up the house, went to the mall to get me new tennis shoes (my old ones were trash and not good for anything!), When we got home we took a rest then went to McDonald's for dinner and at home we played Scrabble (I won). Had lots of fun (Thank you Grandpa Z.). I`m sleeping over too.

Poor Joanna

She is so unhappy.
