Cake Decorating Contest

For my cake decorating contest at Scouts I wanted to do a camping cake because I love camping so much. We thought it would be very creative if we made trees out of giant pretzel sticks and ice cream cones covered with green frosting and green coconut. I thought it was really funny that we put goldfish in blue jello and a teddy bear fishing for it. I thought my firepit was really cool. We put giant pretzel sticks on the ground for benches and my fire was made out of regular sized pretzel sticks with orange-colored coconut. My rocks were jelly beans. The scouts (teddy grahms) were roasting marshmallows on toothpicks, made from a bigger marshmallow that we cut pieces off of to make mini marshmallows. I had a fun time making this cake. My award was "The Most Professional". Most people thought that my mom had done it all but I did a ton of the work.

A trip to Canada

When I went to Canada I got to go on a ferry boat by the San Juan Islands. While on the ferry boat I saw killer whales. It was a really nice experience to see one out in the ocean, besides Sea World.

We went to the Victoria Butterly Garden to see lots of different kinds of butterflies.
A butterfly landed on my head and my wrist.

My little sister was scared to death of all the butterflies flying around her.




My brother Camden had one land on his wrist, too.
There was a moth in the garden that was bigger than my hand. It was called an Atlas Moth. It had cocoons hanging above it.












The next place we went to was the Victoria Bug Zoo. It was really crazy there. They let you hold REALLY weird bugs.
This is me touching an Emperor Scorpion. They wouldn't let me hold it because it is very fragile.














One night by the hotel when we were down by the harbor there was a street performer. He did some really cool stuff like juggling a chain saw with 2 flaming torches and fit his entire body through a tennis racquet with no net while balancing a golf club on his chin. After that he wanted a hug and made my dad give him a hug. So then he told my dad to come up and another guy to help him.


The first thing the guy did with my dad and the other guy up there was make the other guy lay down so he could walk over him while juggling flaming torches with lighter fluid all around him.He made it over without burning the guy!

After he did that he told my dad and the other guy to hold up a unicycle so he could get up on the unicycle.

When he was up he told my dad to light three torches and throw them to him one by one. After a while he had my dad throw with him really fast! It was so awesome and I thought my dad was pretty good without any practice! When he was done performing he held out his hat on his unicycle so we could put Canadian money in it. I put in a twonie and Londyn and Camden put in loonies. My dad gave him a couple dollars too. That was just about the best part of the entire trip!
