Relax, and Enjoy Your Break

3/10/2016

March break is time of reflection and relaxation, a good time to get rejuvenated before the final push of the year.  For your blog over the break this week, I’d like you to take some pictures of different activities and create a slideshow (no more than 10 slides) that showcases how you enjoyed your break.  I will do the same.  
​For the post this week, all you’ll have to do is post your link to your slideshow and write down ONE thing you did that was amazing!  

We’ll read all of these when we come back on the Monday!

WELCOME BACK FROM YOUR MARCH BREAK!!!! I don't know about you but it feels like March break started a day ago and has finished super quickly. My march break was fun but I do wish that we had more time for March Break. It also feels like I did the same thing every day over and over again. I don't exactly know what I am going to write because it's hard to get back in the routine but here it goes.

I had so much fun on my march break mainly because the food was like amazing but also because I spent a lot of time with close friends. One thing that I did which I found amazing was having the pre-March break party with my closest friends! Not that everything else wasn't amazing too. I just found the party a bit more exciting. My mom has this rule where I am not allowed to go to some birthday party's and I am not allowed to go to sleepovers. I get that she is trying to look after me but I am getting older now. It took a lot of convincing but I talked her into letting me have a party. I had a great time at the party. We did all sorts of things; we face timed people, annoyed Jaiden and his friends,had really good food and all sorts of other stuff too.

Having them over was soooooo fun although most of the time we were on our electronics taking selfies and getting annoyed by other children there at the party.You know all of the stuff kids in our generation do!

Through out the entire March break I realized that having a good time doesn't always involve money,luxurious trips,beaches and that sort of stuff. You can have a great time with the people around you and the people that mean the most to you. Also who needs warm weather when you can have FOOOD. To end this blog post here is a quote by Nelson Mandela here it is: "The greatest glory in living lies not in every falling but in rising every time we fall".

On Monday I went to Toronto to stay over for two nights. On the second day we went to the CN tower and it was really fun. Their is a glass floor that could hold 3.5 whales. I was really scared to go on, mainly because little kids were jumping on the floor. I sprinted back and forth and finally got used to it and wasn't as scared anymore. I sat down at the other end with my cousin and we started to talk. He told me that he wasn't freaked out about it because it was cool. I started to think about that and the I layed down on the glass. I was relaxed. I slowly heard the sound of footsteps by my head and panicked. I looked down and almost vommited. I got up and ran to the elevator line and was ready to leave.

On Wednesday March 16th I went to skateboard camp. I learned some new tricks and I had lots of fun but there was this one trick that I couldn't do since I was 10 years old so I decided to attempt it since they have something to grind on with my skateboard. How it works is I have to do an Ollie then try to do a nosegrind and then land it with a turn and stop. After 37 attempts of failing and getting hurt I got the hang of it.

March Break is almost OVER!!!! I know it went bye so fast, but we don't need to complain because I don't know about you but I had an AWESOME march break it was so fun we went to MEXICO, I have been there before but it is still always very fun, so instead of complaining about how March Break is over lets celebrate all the fun things we did over the march break here are my fun things that did over march break.

I had a really hard time deciding which one thing to talk about because they we all very, very, very, very, very, very, VERY fun but I finally decided and here it is.

One of my favorite things that I did in Mexico over march break is playing beach volleyball and here is why:

You get to play with different people, what I mean by this is you get to play with people from all over the world which is always very very fun, another plus of getting to play with people around the world is there are people with different skill levels so if your team is down a couple points and a person who is really good at beach volleyball ask's to play they can go on the team that is losing so it will be a closer game.

Another plus is that I love to play volleyball and the fact that you get to play it on the beach is great I love the game of volleyball it is one of my favourite sports and I can get to play one of my favourite sports while I am on vacation.

That is why I love to play beach volleyball and here is the link to my presentation: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1dngAlae7WDElLqLPEA_YP5S6_eq5Y92INc3zGAR6qB0/edit#slide=id.p

I will also post it on classroom in case this does not work.


Thanks for listening

I hope you all had a great spring break! I had lot's of fun spending time with my family and and resting.

On Friday I went to Khushi's house right after school for her party, it was so fun until the big doggy came out, that was not so fun.
The rest of the week was spent sleeping, eating and watching Netflix. I occasionaly went outside to ride my bike since the weather was much nicer then before,

On Friday I went to the dentist for my consultation, it was pretty boring, I wasn't really paying attention, when I got home my mom told me I was getting braces in May, then I got super nervous, but I felt better about it afterwards because I still had lots of time before then too enjoy bubble gum.

Saturday was a sad day. I went to Emily's house for Bubl

I had a blast during my march break, One of my many favourite moments was watching the Downhill dummy! The Downhill dummy is where tons of families make a dummy with ski’s to the theme, then they go down a track and up a jump. This years theme was Back To The Future, and there were so many cool entries (there are some photos of them in my presentation). Once the first dummy went down the hill I was so excited! Only half of the dummy's fully made it down the track and over the jump, that was mostly because the little kids were throwing snowballs at them. Some of the dummies caught so much air and some didn’t even make it over the jump. I had so much fun that the festival flew by so fast.

Bublé's funeral. But then I got distracted by her doughnut holes. We played a very funny game about picking flowers with grandma, as you can see, I didn't really understand it.

March break went by sooooo fast, and I don't know if I will be able to wake up the morning! But eveything comes to an end and you need to enjoy the little things and the big things while you can

I cannot believe we have school tomorrow, how am I going to wake up! Although I feel refreshed and ready to learn. My march break was fun! It was great to spend time with my family and friends! I am going to tell you about one of my most eventful days during march break.

On Thursday me, Nicole, Her mom and sister went to the movies! We watched Zootopia, which by the way was AMAZING and not to mention HILARIOUS!!! After the movie we all went out for lunch. We went to this Breakfast/Lunch place. We all got grilled cheese. It was delicious. Once we finished eating they dropped Nicole and I off at my house. We made up a dance, had a blind folded taste test and made many videos. If you go to my slide show you can see the pictures!

I can't believe that march break is over now. All those days of sleeping in are over and now we have to wake up at 7:00 am or 6:00 am if you a early bird like Sydney is.

Anyway I hope everyone had a great march break and got to spend time with there family's. I had so many fun moments over my march break like going to the zoo and spending time with friends and family.

I can't believe March Break is over. I have had a great time and really enjoyed relaxing. One of my favourite March Break memory is when I was at my cottage. I always have a good time there and our neighbours are so great. There are three kids: one is eight, one is six, and the last but not least is four. All of us play together and have a blast! We call them our "cottage cousins" because we see them a lot.

At our cottage in the winter the waves on the lake freeze and it is really cool to see and walk on. When we take walks down the beach we would go on them and sometimes you would hear a crack but then the water level is so low it's not that scary! So parts of the water have a sliver of ice and some have really thick waves. Sometimes there are caves in them and when we went on the walk with our "cottage cousins" the youngest said " maybe outrages live in there". And that's just one of the things that he says that is super cute.

Anyways, I just want to say that I had a great time enjoying the break with a bunch of friends and my family. And I'm sure everyone else did too! (even if you didn't go on hot vacations on the beach with no ice covering the lake!)

On my March Break it was pretty sad because my only, last fish died underneath a plant and freaked me out because I thought he was just sleeping... But I was wrong. I also celebrated my dad's birthday with my family which was fun!
The first Saturday of March Break I went to Bath and Body Works with my friend Ella and wasted my WHOLE entire afternoon because she was smelling candles.
Then on Saturday I had Yerin over at my house and told her depressing news about my fish. It was really fun because we were playing clue and this very funny weird game. And now Yerin knows how I really act at my house. That was a really fun day!
And on Sunday I went out to Aerosports with Ava ( Its a trampolining place ) and I did a flip. And thought I was going to kill myself because I had no idea what I was doing.
My March Break was incredible!

I can't believe that I have to go to school tomorrow and that march break is almost over!!!!! I don't know about you but for me march break went by just like that because I had such an amazing time. I was so exited when I got on the plane to go to mexico and even though I have been to this resort before and that time it was amazing it was still fantastic and it might be even better. March break was soooooooo fun !!!! and the only thing I wished that could of happened was that I would of had more time on march break.
I am not going to go around sadly talking about how march break is almost over I am going to talk about the good parts of my break.


I don't know about you but for me it was very,very,very hard to pick just one thing that was fun over the break so I decided to talk about 2 things that were amazing even though everything over the break was FANTASTIC!!!!


The first thing that was absolutely amazing over march break is going down to the nice soft beach and playing some beach volleyball. There are a couple reasons that I loved playing beach volleyball so here they are.


1. The first reason that I loved going down to the beach and playing some beach volleyball is if you stay at a international resort you can play beach volleyball with people from all over the world. What I mean by this is that When you go down to the beach and play some volleyball usually people from all over the world and I find that really cool because you don't get to play volleyball non-competitively with people from all over the world very often. But you don't always play with people really far away for example one time we played with people from Ottawa and Nashville. One time some people were Spain.


2. The second reason I Loved playing beach volleyball is just because I love playing volleyball. Volleyball is one of my favorite sports and playing it on a beach makes it more difficult but also more fun. When I play volleyball I just have a really good time so I had an amazing time playing it with people form all over the world.


The second thing that I loved doing while I was mexico was going to a place called Xel-Ha. Xel-Ha was amazing and we did so much and there are a couple of reasons that I loved going to Xel-Ha and these are them.


1. The first reason that I loved going to Xel-Ha is the snorkeling where thousands of fish and eels and rays live. I found it so cool seeing thousands of fish with everyone of them being a different size , shape or color When I was swimming beside the corals I found it so cool seeing the homes of thousands of different species of fish in their homes and their habitats. Once when I touched the coral a little blue fish probably 5 cm big started to swim around the coral and protecting it because that was it's home. I found that cool because such a little thing was willing to go up against something that was so much bigger that it to protects its home. The biggest fish that I saw was a 4 feet barracuda.


2 . The second reason that I loved going to Xel-Ha was the zip lining. Now this isnt the big zip lining it is a one where you are above maybe 15 feet and you try to hold on the the zip line as long as you can until you fall into the water . This was really fun because t was pretty hard and every time I got far I would push myself to get further. Their was also a rope the you could walk along and try not to fall down in the water.


My march break was absolutely amazing and I had such an amazing time. Over march break I really was just relaxing and learning to relax. It was really sad when I left my room to go to the airport because I had such an amazing time and was having so much fun but we needed to go home and see Cody for the first time in 1 week. March break went by just like that and I think it did for the rest of you to.

My March Break was amazing and super and great!

Mainly I spent my March Break watching Pretty Little Liars and Once Upon A Time but I also went to U.S.A which was pretty fun!

On the Friday that school ended for March Break I went to Khushi's March break Party It was really fun! I almost hurt amber with a Ipod while she was recording a video! I was so scared when a BIG dog came outside It was gonna KILL me by the way it looked at me, I could tell! Yerin,Khushi,and I were super scared of the dog while Emily was petting the dog and leaving us to DIE.

On Mon-Fri I spent the time watching and crying while watching Season 5 Once Upon a Time and Pretty Little Liars Season 2!

I hung out with my friends from Missisauga and stayed at home
On Saturday to Sunday (March.19-20) I went to U.S.A and in the hotel room I watched Food Network occasionally going to the pool and wouldn't go anywhere else but the couch!

I had a really great time during march break and I really enjoyed spending time with my family!

I can't believe that march break is already over! its gone by soooo fast!

Anyways one of my favourite moments I had during my mach break was when Chloe came over! The first think we did was do a video together for my youtube Chanel which was very disgusting since I had to eat mustard and Caesar salad together but I got my revenge back! After that we made a couple of Musical.lys and went on Instagram after 5 minutes we decided to go outside and play in a park because it was sunny and I have a park right in front of my house! we played there for like an hour and had races of who could go on all the slides and play on all the equipment! it was very fun but very tiring too! but at one of the activities we were kinda scared to do it since we hadn't been on it for such a long time so we started explaining how all the little kids go on it and how they think its fun so I went down it first! I realized then that it was actually so fun so I forced Chloe to do it too! Then we went back to my house had a cookie competition and did a couple more things before her mom came! It was a very fun day!

Hope everyone had a great march break!!

It was amazing that the weather was warm, so I could play outside on my trampoline. Take a look at my slide show for all of the details of what I did on the March Break.
