Dad's B-Day Party

Last Saturday was my dad's 50th birthday party and it was awesome. My mom had spent over a month planning this party out. There were streamers, lanterns, banners, and balloons everywhere. Everything was black, silver, and gold. There were tons of families there too. We had people from our neighborhood and people from Dallas. They all came from everywhere. The other big part was the food. Oh the food was AMAZING! My mom made almost everything- with the exception of the Puerto Rican rice, cheese sauce, pizza rolls, and potato salad and even those were made by other people. My mom made BBQ pulled pork, brisket, chicken salad, coleslaw, and baked beans. Everything was delicious. The birthday cake my mom ordered was amazing. It had a picture of my dad on it and said 'Happy 50th Birthday.' All day Saturday was awesome and I would do anything to go back there instead of being at school, but as Robert Frost said, Life goes on.

Ugly Animals :):):):):)

Yesterday in journalism, Ali and I were writing in our pen pal journals and were looking at ugly animals on Google. There were some of the ugly animals that I've ever seen before. The first ugly animals was the blobfish. The blobfish, otherwise known as the Psychrolutes marcidus, is known as the world's ugliest animal. Only growing up to 30 cm, the blobfish is a squishy and endangered deep sea creature.

Another animal that is absolutely butt-ugly is the probiscis monkey. This monkey has one of the longest noses and is almost as ugly as the blobfish. Known to be the world's this monkey's nose can reach up to 10 cm. 

Track Meet

Tomorrow, is my first track meet. Since I made the track team, I've just gotten used to the waking up early in the morning it's not even funny. The events that I'm doing is discus and shot put. I actually am pretty good at both. Not the best, but I'm alright. I really can't wait to go to the meet because it's the only meet in the season that's at a different district. I really can't wait and I really need to do good tomorrow. Wish me luck!
