Spider.

This picture is very disturbing. I would not want spider's and a stick that close to my mouth. Eating and chewing a crunchy black spider is an unappealing thought. The man is crazier than a 8 year old who has drink en a whole monster if he is going to eat those spiders. I would throw up if I had to be that near to those spiders. I'm throughly confused of this man, why would he ever want to eat spiders? The spiders might still have poison in them why would you digest that. This should be uneatable.

I am...

I Am

I am hilarious and hungry
I wonder what I'll being doing when I'm older
I hear music
I see ice cream and cotton candy
I want the ice cream
I am hilarious and hungry

I pretend to eat the ice cream
I feel happy and calm
I touch my glasses
I worry that I won't get the ice cream
I cry with the thought of no ice cream
I am hilarious and hungry

I understand my hungry for ice cream
I say I would like a cherry on top
I dream of the largest bowl of the best tasting ice cream
I try to get the ice cream
I hope I can get to the bowl of yummy goodness
I am hilarious and hungry

The Scariest Thing

The Scariest Thing I have ever...
...seen was when my dad was run over by a boat. He had been ran over and was almost cut in half. We knew he had to be pulled into the boat or he would die. Me and my sister pulled him into the boat and I held towels against the opened wound to keep his blood inside while my sister drove to shore and called 911. He was very off in the distance like somewhere else in his mind. The helicopter came and took him off to the hospital. Once he reached the hospital he got blood back into him and he is living today. But if he would have lost 1 more ounce of blood he would have died.

The Greatest Thing I Have Ever...

The greatest thing I have ever...
..accomplished would have to have won the State Fair Master Showmanship and get the title of the best showman in the state of California. I went to the State Fair hoping to do good in showmanship. Showmanship is where the judge judges you on how you can show your animal to the best of its ability. So I was showing in the sheep division and the top two out of 62 could go on to Master Showmanship. I got 2nd and that wasn't going to stop me from winning master showmanship. Master Showmanship is where the best of the best show each animal to see who can show all the animals the best. I went on to Master Showmanship going against the best in the state and I came out on top and won the whole thing! I got every kids dream that shows at the State Fair the GOLDEN BEAR. I've dreamed of the day to even hold a golden bear but now I own one. So I brought home the the gold representing the Madera County.
