Gettysburg.

Hey Fellow Amandaflys’ Blog Readers!! I haven’t been blogging much lately; nothing that hasn’t happened recently was remotely interesting. I wanted to blog about Gettysburg but I couldn’t find the time. Now that I have found the time I will talk about it.

Last week I went to Gettysburg with the Scotty Group and my friend Brook.




We arrived at the camp late on Friday night and toasted marshmallows. I burned my hand in the fire but other than that it was all good. Since Brook walked into a spider web, we had to take showers and go to bed.

On Saturday morning, we woke up and make Sticky buns.

After eating the sticky buns, my family, Brook, and I ventured out to The Gettysburg National Military Park and Visitor Center.

While there we explored the museum and looked at the Cyclorama. My dad and I took great pictures of everything there. (Click Here to see the pictures) After leaving the museum, we walked the Battlefield. There was so much to see. There was the fence, a fence that was distinct in its own way. The fence was shown in the Cyclorama and in the movie and the museum. I got to see the real original fence up close in person. I never thought something as plain and ordinary as a fence could have such a great impact on a person. More than 100 years ago, People had died on this fence and I got to take pictures of it and touch it with my very own fingers. It was an experience I will not soon forget.

After exploring the Battlefield, We got to go to a four story teddy bear factory. I’ve never seen so many bears in one building. I had left my camera in the car so I couldn’t take any pictures. Click here for the website. After the bear factory we went back to camp.

Sunday morning, we went to a huge candy shop. It was known as Mister Ed’s Elephant Museum. It had so many statues of elephants. They also sold fresh roasted peanuts. They tasted so good. I didn’t get any pictures but I found their website, Click Here.

After that we traveled home. It was about a four hour car ride.

Next week, I have finals in school. I hope I am ready.

A Breif Summary of This Week.

What better time to write a blog than 1:30 AM? I don’t know so that is why I am writing this at this hour.

This week was extra short but sort of depressing. On Monday, I had literary club. I was sick then so when I got of the after school bus, I threw up. It was a good thing no one saw but I still had to walk home after that. I decided not to go to school on Tuesday because I was so sick. Now I am in great health.

On Wednesday, I had a math test. I got my grade for that and it was a B+. I am happy with the grade I received. I also had a reading test on Wednesday which I haven’t seen my grade for yet.

Because nothing interesting happened on Thursday (except the fact that I had a substitute teacher with a semi-Northern Irish accent), I will skip to today. In reading class we got cupcakes (THANKS LAUREN!!!!!!). At 8, I went ice skating. Nobody told me that they changed the time the ice rink had session to 7 to 9 instead of 8 to 10. After my unexpectedly shortened time away, I went to Heather’s house. Her, her brother, two of her neighbors were there. We had a fun time. I went home around 10:15. It was a nice night.

This Sunday is Mothers’ Day. Please do something nice for your moms.

This week I have a school field trip, a huge Spanish presentation, and a chorus concert Click Here to read the plans for my spanish presentation.

Now I think I will go to bed because it is so late. Good night all you people who care about my life.
