How I got a Ping Pong Table


My dad wanted a ping pong table very very very much.  So, we went to a ping pong table store.  At the ping pong table store, there was a ping pong/pool/air hockey/foosball table.  It was for $1200. The ping pong table we bought was $300.  It is not an outdoor one, meaning that it can withstand the rain, so we have to assemble it and dissassemble it whenever it rains.  Right now, it is in our kitchen.  Here is a picture.

There is a festival called Jazz in the Park.  At the festival, there is a jazz band, home made treats, and a bounce house.  At the festival, I had one cookie, and four bottles worth of razzberry soda water.  And that's it.  I did not do anything in the actual school festival, I just skated in an empty parking lot near the school with one of my friends.  We skated for three hours, then it was 8.30pm, our time.  I fell over a couple of times, but that wasn't bad.  And by the way, there were more than 600 people at the party.  I was SO tired at school today, because I went to bed at 9.30 last night.

Amazing Things

There was a black cat at my cousin's house and the black cat was very nice.

I'm the shaving cream master!








This is the Crazy Coaster, the Disneyland of Australia!




This is Ripley and I on the Crazy Coaster.





This apple is special; it was grown half green and half red.


Grand Prix
The Grand Prix is a GIANT car racing event that goes for days. (Not overnight) The Grand Prix is right next to our house. They are already preparing for it, even though it is two months away. The Grand Prix is SO noisy, that they have to cancel my school on the days it is on.
School
There are 347 kids in the whole school. It is a very big difference from Farm School -- going from 19 to 347. Grownups think that Farm School is a country school because it is so small. There is a Blaise, a Nicholas, Liam but no one else besides those three people. I couldn't understand some of the words you are meant to spell for a spelling test, so I waited until she said them in a sentence.
Shaving Master
Some of these pictures (the ones where I'm covered with white shaving cream) are Ripley and I by accident squirting shaving cream on to ourselves. Then we rubbed it in like sunscreen.
Headsox
There is a Headsox in Australia. Headsox are like hats, but you can wear them in all different styles. You can wear them like a pirate hat, you can wear it like a cap, you can also wear it like a bandana. I got my Headsox from a kid named Ollie, because his Dad owns the Headsox corporation, so if you are his friend, he'll give you a Headsox.
