Saving Willy

When I went to North Carolina I saved a pygmy spirm whale. We were fishing on a pier when all of a sudden a shark was spotted. About two minutes later there was only two patches of left to be seen. I gazed up the coastline and saw a whale- looking thing on the beach. I ran down there and I soon learned that this whale was injured and sick. I felt so bad for it. I promised the whale that I would stick with it until the coast gaurds took it away. When the coast gaurds came the whale got moved higher up on the beach. I sat in the sand praying for the whale. When I finished saying Hail Mary 30 times a coast gaurd named Gary came over and said, "You should be pouring water on him, my shoes are getting soaked." I shrugged and took the bucket. "To heavy?" Gary asked. I noddeed. Gary came over and helped me gently pour water over the whale. When we were done I sat down and looked at Willy. "So what's your name?" Gary asked. "Kaitlynn." I replied. "Hi Kaitlynn, I'm Gary and this is Karen," Gary said, pointing to the marine bioligist. Gary started talking to Karen and I just sat, burying my feet. After a while of silence Gary started piling up sand on my feet. By then Gary, Karen, and I were the only ones left with the whale on the beach. "So, do you think we should name him?" Gary asked. "Yeah." I said. "Well, why don't we name him Willy, after 'Free Willy'." "Okay, that's a great name." After an hour or so some more coast guards came. Gary leaned over to me. "Have you pet him yet?" "No." I said. "Go ahead, pet him." I leaned down and rubbed my hand over Willy's smooth, wet skin. "Gary, we can't take Willy anywhere until Bruce gets here." Karen told Gary. Bruce, the only man left who could rescue Willy(he had the strecther and the car), was Karen's partner. After another thirty minutes the coast gauards began to think that Bruce got lost. But sure enough, a few minutes later, Bruce arrived. Standing back, the 8 coast guards, and Bruce, lifted the tarp that Willy was laying on and............................Gary's foot got stuck in between the tarp and the strecther. Willy fell off the stretcher and onto the sand. He squirted out ink (Pgmy sperm whales eat squid, so the whales squirt ink) that burns skin, everywhere. It got on Gary's arm, and on my shoes. When they finally got Willy on the stretcher and in the car, I went up to Gary and he said, " So you see when he squirted out ink? Ouch, it burns skin." "Yeah I saw it." I said. "Well, I better go. Bye!!" I said as I ran back up the beach. It was AWSOME. BYE!!!!

P.S. This took me almost a month to write.

Lucky Day

I'm having a VERY good day today. As you may have read in my last post, I finished my Harry Potter book (30 chapters) In only two months, I won my monopoly game, I learned how to make pancakes, and we're going to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! We were going to see it tomorrow, but the times didn't work out. So my mom said we were going to see it Friday, or Saturday, but instead, she surprised us by buying tickets to the movie just about an hour ago. Well, I hope everybody's Thanksgiving is better than the turkey's! GOOD BYE!!!!!!!!!

Harry Potter and the Half Prince

I've done it, I've done it!!!! I just finished the sixth Harry Potter book a couple of minutes ago! It took me a year to read all the other ones, but I read this one in two months. Well, I have to go eat breakfast, so good bye, and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!

Bridge

I'm a junior scout today. I just got back from being bridged. In case some people don't know what that means it means when you cross some kind of bridge, and you recite the scout promise (On my honor, I will try to serve God, and my country, to help people at all times, and to live by the Scout Law.). Well, we went out onto a trail (it was freezing!!), and we crossed over a creek. Three cadets challenged us to something that I can't remember, I crossed the bridge, and I got my badge. I got the new kind. After that, we headed back to the house and had a bunch of food with my scout troop and their parents. It was so much fun and it was worth it to go out into the cold for a half an hour. BYE!!!!!

My Christmas Present

Last year I made up a poem and gave to my dad for Christmas. It goes:

My dad is an awsome dude,
He's always in a great mood!
There's nothing he can't do,
He can hunt, and fix cars and computers, too!

I love it when my dad teaches us to hunt and fish,
And when we ask for a puppy, he says, "You wish!"
I love it when my dad takes us to Assateague Island,
And it was cool when he let us listen to "This is my land."
I like it when my dad scratches my back,
At night when the sky is very black!
I like it when my dad helps me build a fort out of heavy snow,
I try to help by sighing, "Heave ho!"
My dad is like a Santa who's always here,
He takes us to places far and near.
And by the way, if you weern't here,
I'd have a blue Christmas without you!!!!!!

My dad liked it a lot. And to anyone who's reading this, I made this up(as stated on the top), and leave a comment if you like it!!

GRAB

My friend Nora and I made up a band called GRAB. It's called that because the names that we go when we do the band are: (my first name) Roxi, (my second name) Grace and (Nora's first name) Brianna, (her second name) Audrey, and if you mix the letters around you can get GRAB. Anyway, we dressed up in the scarves my granmother got from Italy (you can use them as a shirt, a dress, or a scarf). Nora wore pink and I wore purple. We only had about 3 minutes to do it, so we didn't sound so great at first, but we're going to practice either tomorrow or Tuesday, because Nora has after-school band tomorrow. GOOD BYE!!!!!!!!!!

My new friend

Last night I got my first build-a-bear. I named it Patches and I got one outfit for it. I brushed it so much that it's head is fluffy and very soft. I put my sweatshirt on it and my mom's going to give me and Taylor some baby clothes to put on our build-a-bears. Patches says hi. Taylor's bear's name is Cocoa. Bye!!!!!!!!

Veteran's Day Song

Attention: I made this up.

Injureed solders sit and mourn,
Outside they hear the enemy's horn.
War has been going on for so long,
and now they sing this mournful song.
Soldiers who have passed away
are remembered to this very day.
If you look and listen closely
you can see their y thighs,
and you can hear their pain filled cries.

If you like this leave a comment. My friend picked out this picture. And if you think that I copied this from somewhere, I didn't I promise.
To anybody who's reading this, don't forget to thank anyone you know for fighting for the world' s freedom who's a veteren, even if it's not Veteren's Day anymore.
Well, Taylor and my friend Hannah are going crazy because they got to the next level on a game and now they're 'spending their "millsbucks" mercilessly' on millsberry.com. I cannot concentrate any longer, BYE!!!!!!!!!!!

My Pets

I have a dog named Britches. She's 13 years old and deaf. I used to have a hamster named Bear, but he died because his waterbottle had a leak in it. Before I was born, my mom got Britches, and her sister Ellie. Ellie was older and was not actually Britches' sister, but they lived together. Ellie died in 2002, 3 years ago. Before I got Bear, my dad would take me and Taylor out to catch frogs. we brought two tadpoles home first, raised them, and when they were frogs, my dad would set them out in the sun. But one day, he left them out there to long. Yes, they melted. So a while later we went back to the woods and caught 6 more frogs. We raised them, and let them go (a happy ending). So, even thogh that could've been confusing, now we just have Britches.



THAT'S BRITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to take my math test today. I went home sick yesterday, so I missed it. When I was going to math this guy said, "Hey it's the who always races to her classroom!" I only do it because I'm late. Anyway, I managed to finish my test before recess(it was really easy). And don't worry dad, I checked it! I played four square with the fifth graders. We started a new chapter in science and I got done reading the first lesson before class was over :). After an hour or so, we got packed up and got on the bus (no taunting from that guy on the way to the bus). When I got home I watched T.V. for a little while and then went over to my friend Hannah's. We had a lipsinging compatition between Hannah and Taylor (I was singing). Hannah, suprisingly won. When Taylor and I had to go home, I was just finishing singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. We had dinner, my mom left for class, and now I'm writing this. Well, I cann't predidct the futire, so I'll stop here.
BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I go to a new school called OLPH. I'd rather go to my old school, but we have to go here. Our teacher, Mrs. Hines, is really strict, but she let's us move seats once a month. I'm in the advanced math group, and my teacher Mrs. Hahner is a Giants fan, so when the Redskins, my favorite team, lost completely to them, she was saying,"It was like the they were not there!" . We have music tomorrow and we have to finish our raps. Our class' music teacher, Mrs. Kramp, is very fun and she made my group paper cigarettes full of powdered sugar because our rap was on not . One thing we have here that we didn't used to take was computer class. It's really fun. We also have band. I play the clarinet. I like to teach myself songs. Some of them I taught myself are: When the Saints go Marching in, Silent Night, Istsy Bitsy spider, Star Wars, and Away in a Manger. As I said before, I'd rather go to Woodmont Acdemy(my old school), but it's okay here :).
