Topeka Zoo

We took M and some friends to the zoo for her birthday.

K, M and friends I and E on the lion.

This Gorilla leaned against the glass, and when Kaman stood beside it, he elbowed him and ran away.

The Lions came up to the glass, the male kept licking mom's hand.

Two Hippos.

4-H camp

I went to 4-H camp on Monday, it was great! I stayed in a cabin with 8 other girls and a counselor. There was archery, riflery, disk golf, swimming and canoeing, which was awesome. They had a talent show, witch I didn't take part in, but there where some really cool talents. My group's counselor was a ton of fun, all the girls where nice. We walked everywhere, when I got home Thursday morning I was exhausted. I plan to go again next year, and when I'm old enough I might go as a counselor.

Book Review: Extras

It is not about Tally, but she is mentioned later in the book. . It is a good ending to the story. When I read the first three: http://josie9.blogspot.com/2007/11/book-review-uglies.html

Scott Westerfeld's site. http://www.scottwesterfeld.com/

I Really liked this book, I wold recommend this series.

Look at what Mom and Dad put under the tree just to annoy M, K and I...

Gifts! and we can't open them for 15 days!

Here is our Christmas Tree. Its more like half a tree, we had to use the top half of it and put it on a table so Nancy can't get to the gifts and the ornaments.

Here is Santa, his head is hitting the ceiling.

A couple of days ago Nancy found a stick outside and brought it inside.
And over the course of the day she chewed it to pieces...

Book review: Uglies

I recently began the Uglies trilogy By Scott Westerfield. Uglies takes place in the future where at the age of of 16 you get an operation to make you beautiful and you get to move to a place called new Prettie Town where you party all night and sleep all day. Before you get the operation you live Uglieville and are called an Uglie.

Uglies is about an almost 16 year old girl named Tally Youngblood whose friends are all pretty and she can't wait to become pretty until she meets a girl named Shay who's thinking about running away to a place called the Smoke before she has to get the operation. The Smoke is where all the Uglies who don't want the operation run away to.

Shay asks Tally to go to the Smoke with her but Tally decides to stay and get the operation. So Shay runs away leaving instructions for Tally if she decides to run away. Tally goes to get the operation, but before she can Special Circumstances (the secret police) take her to their headquarters and tell her that unless she takes a tracker with her, goes to the smoke and tells Special Circumstances where the Smoke is, she can't get the operation.

I would recommend this book. There are 3 more books, 2 of which I have read. The 3rd as far as I can tell is not about Tally.
