No Muggles Allowed! Hogwarts Summer School

Monday is Hogwarts School of Wizardry at

the Dodge Turner Mansion. I'm so excited!

I get to go to a really old spooky mansion

(149 years old ) and attend Harry Potter Camp.

My friend Avery is also going. We love Harry Potter.

We are going to attend classes just like Harry,

Ron and Hermione does. We are also going to

play a Quidditch Tournament. We get to dress

up, I'm wear my black robe, taking my journal

and my mom made me a wand out of a

pussy willow branch. I'll post pictures from camp.

Also this weekend is the Riverbank Traditional Pow Wow

I LOVE going to the Pow Wow, my dad is working there this year.

Then the following week is Civil War camp at the mansion!

That is a week long day camp, I can't wait!

I'm going to be busy and having a blast!!!!

My Best Friend Larkin

This is my dog Larkin. I've had him since I

was a baby. We got him from the animal shelter.

We had him for eight years and he was eleven

years old when he died last September.

We were best friends, he was my #1 best friend.

He used to bug me for bones all the time. But

I kind of miss that. He always protected me.

If I was sword playing with my friends,

Larkin would get in the middle and push me away.

He could spell! Do you want a B-O-N-E?

He would get all excited and run to the cupboard.

He always knew when we were getting ready

for a walk. He loved to go for walks!

He didn't like thunder or fire works.

He really didn't wear glasses! He liked to go

for rides in the van.

He really loved kittens and always wanted

to be near them. Bella and Boo loved Larkin

and he loved them.

He is a good soul, and I know he is still with me.

Devil's Toenails

A package from Sharon came today.

Four really cool fossils called devil's toenails.

Mom and I looked them up on the Internet.

I'm going to do some studing on fossils.

Devil's Toenails

My grandma wants one because we read that

they help arthritis. I told her "Sorry grandma,

but it's just folk lore."

They look awesome in my dinotopia!

I also got a picture of Zoe's cool winged dragon. It's awesome!
Thanks Sharon and Zoe! I'm really excited to have 167 million year old fossils!!!

Bob

Meet Bob,...our family rescued Bob from the

streets. His owner moved away and left him.

We took him in, took him to the vet and found

him a good home with Kevin, my sister's boyfriend.

He's a sweet kitty!

Rescued Cat
Once I was a lonely cat, just looking for a home.

I had no place to go, no one to call my own.

I wandered up and down the streets, in rain in heat and snow.

I ate what ever I could find, I was always on the go.

My skin would itch, my feet were sore, my body ached with pain.

And no one stopped to give a pat, or gently say my name.

I never saw a loving glance, I was always on the run.

For people thought that hurting me was really lots of fun.

Then one day I heard a voice so gentle, kind and sweet,

And arms so soft reached down to me and took me off my feet.

"No one again will hurt you,"was whispered in my ear.

"You'll have a home to call your own where you will know no fear."

"You will be dry, you will be warm, you'll have enough to eat,"

"and rest assured that when you sleep,

your dreams will all be sweet."I was afraid I must admit,

I've lived so long in fear. I can't remember when I let a human come so near.

And as she tended to my wounds,

and bathed and brushed my fur.

She told me about the rescue group

and what it meant to her.

She said, "We are a circle, a line that never ends."

"And in the center there is you protected by new friends."

Gone Fishing! Be back soon....

Dinotopia

I used to have two goldfish, but my mom
accidentally killed them.

So my mom made me a dinosaur terrarium.

It looks cool with the light on! We put in my

crystals that I bought when we visited my

Aunt Debi.

We found the plants and the moss in our yard.
I call it Dinotopia. ROAR!

P.S. My mom can't kill the dinosaurs their plastic!

ART

This is the art gallery in our hallway.

Some of the art I made in art class.

These are all my pieces of art.

Black Cat.
Nutcracker.

The owl and the Santa duck is Calebs, when he was little and
the house with the tree is Autumns, when
she was little. The rest are mine!
