Summer Solstice

That's today.

Yesterday was the field trip. Evan said we should go. We went.
The field trip was to another tourist cave in the area and all the people that were there were from out of state except for the employees. This cave was better than the last. There was a formation called a cathedral that they let you walk through that looked really awesome.
We took the tour of the cave first, then we hung out in the gift shop looking at the stone vases from Pakistan, stuffed bats, bits of died rock from China, and cat fur eagles for thirty minutes with Mr.B. Then we went to watch the Wings of the World thingy with a bunch of elementary students. Wow. That was--- elementary level. Mr.B had to go up there and dance, hee, hee. We then went back to the gift shop for ten minutes and then outside. We sat outside for a long time and ate whatever you brought for lunch. We went and looked at this bird zoo thing they had at the top of the hill. There was a something that starts with an A hornbill from Africa up there that was cool. It was about three feet tall and had killed a baseball hat. Then we went back to the gift shop for a longer time and were sent back outside again. Evan bought a little plastic moose for a dollar and named it Lumpy and we bought Mr. B the cheesiest thing we could find in the store (in our price range): a yellow "marble" banana from Mexico.
Then we went home.
This was Evan's idea. Brady and I kept saying that we could be at my house doing Scuba Trees right now.
Evan has knees of steel. There was these pieces of "marble" bamboo in with the Mexican stone fruit and I took one and tapped Evan on the knee with it--- I didn't even really hit him--- and it snapped in two. We put the pieces in the basket and ran outside. Oh, and we almost broke a display of jewelry. I was standing under the AC vent and Evan wanted me to move so he tried to push me out of the square of cool air, but I stayed where I was and pushed back. We stood for a second back to back leaning on each other and pushing until Evan moved to try and make me fall over, as I knew he would. Well, I fell onto him still standing behind me, and he almost fell into the display behind him. The cashier lady was watching us with big eyes. We sort of laughed and went back outside where we couldn't break anything but trees and that weird orange newt thing on the mini-golf course they have.
We went back to school and sat in the gym for another hour because we weren't supposed to leave until 4:30.
Then Evan came home with me and we did some Scuba Trees stuff. We recorded a bunch of stuff outside and can use some of the better material for some of the actual episodes.

Today was a normal school day.
First hour we recorded a sketch based on that old hardware store duck food joke, you know. I was totally zonked out most of the morning anyway and Mr. B wanted me to be in this sketch as a shopper in the back ground of the hardware store. Wee.
ATC was fun. We challenged Mrs. Catlady's class to a match first hour and Mr.B put in all short people until the very last round when he put Brady, Evan, and me in, along with a smart short kid. Needless to say Mr.B's class won. Oh, I just remembered the name of my team! The Poisonus Indestructible Antfarm.
Second hour The Wire Hangers played Evan's team and lost. Then my team, Ak's Minions, beat the losers. I don't remember so well because I was plugged into Fillip most of the time and reading A Jet Black Sunrise. It's a collection of poems about war times.
Lunch Brady played with his brand new PSP he bought with his own cash and Evan left to go to work with his dad and make some money. I watched Brady mess with the PSP. He found out he could use it for the internet and we were talking about where he could use it. I said Wi-Fi. Brady said he could just go home and plug it into his computer and use it from there. I asked him why he wanted to plug his PSP into his computer and then use the PSP to surf the internet. He said because it's wicked awesome.
In Greek Mythology Brady made a top hat and bowtie for Nigel (for story see Nigel and Morris's Blog) and I made more little dresses for our fingers.
Brady understands Nigel where as Evan doesn't. Evan said he wanted a pet bowling pin, too! Nigel isn't a pet!
Um, that sounds like it for today. Oh, I went swimming for only the second time this Summer. Happy Solstice!
