You are bored already. But I seriously don’t have anything else to write about!
Anyhow, has anyone noticed the change in weather since the middle of June? It’s like as soon as school went out, it stopped being hot. When we ran around at recess, had field day, or whatever, we were steaming! However,as soon as summer vacation starts,and you CAN go swimming, the weather just gets cool! (For summer, anyway. For all the other seasons, the complete opposite.) I mean, it’s nice and all, but STILL! My hermit crab’s tank is warmer than this! Don’t get me wrong, the weather is ok, but it never got up past 85 degrees! What kind of summer is that?
Well, do you like it or not? Tell me how you feel about this. (And seriously, I don’t mind if you tell me that I’m totally crazy about this weather thing.)

My mom says that I don’t need to take swimming lessons after this year.
Don’t get me wrong-it’s not that I asked her if I could quit. I’m not a quitter! It was her idea. Not that I am going to object, though. I can dive (well, I can fall in a diving position) and I can swim freestyle, breaststroke, elementary backstroke, and backstroke, and I can tread water for a minute with the eggbeater kick and the bicycle kick.If I’m not planning to be an Olympic swimmer, then, well, my mom and I are pretty sure that that is all I need to know. So this is my last year. However, since we are members, I can still swim during my sisters’ lessons. So it doesn’t really affect me all that much. I can still practice my strokes in the pool.
amazing, fireworks show, fun, park

Well, I LOVED the fireworks last night!!!!!!! 
They were incredible.They were very loud, but still, they were amazing. (Plus I had hearing protection headphones on. 
)
My family got to the park where the fireworks were going to go off in the early evening. It was lucky that we got there early, because seeing the crowded parking lots after the show, we would never have been able to find a spot if we got there on time! My mom met a friend of hers there. After we visited for awhile, we waited and waited for the fireworks to start, thinking that it would never be dark enough! Finally, the show began. What did I think of them? They were AWESOME! They exploded in every color of the rainbow (and pink, gold, and silver), sometimes four at once! My favorites were the gold and silver ones that seemed to trickle down the sky after their bright explosion. The grand finale was INCREDIBLE! Ten fireworks burst into the sky at once, they were all different colors. I might never see any other fireworks exhibit like it again. And to think at first I wanted to stay home and make s’mores!!!
