Fun Night

Last night we got to see some
good friends of my grandparents
who we have not seen in over two years.
It was fun we had dinner at uncle John and aunt Kerry's
house and then (my favorite part) we did karaoke.
There were so many people that my uncle started calling
it "Flanagan Idle" so my mom went home and got a prize.
We had a really fun time my aunt and I sang a duet to "Our Song"
by Taylor Swift, my dad and josh sang "Five O'clock some where"
and we all sang allot more songs that I wont post because it would take to long.
Any way unfortunately I did not win my aunt won and I was first runner up.
My grandmother got tons of pics I will try and get some and post them.

Bay Bears

Last night we went to the Bay Bears
Game at the Hank. My grandparents came
with us and we had a great time. The Bay Bears won,
and since it was Friday it was fire works night!
Well we decided to watch the fire works
on Bay Bear mountain, nothing wrong with
that except that to get to the mountain
you have to walk over an area were the
water slide had been drained, and I did not see all the
wet grass in time and I stepped in the mud but did not get
a lot of mud in my shoes. Then there was more wet grass
because of all the rain, and I almost fell in that because I did not see it and started to slip thankfully I did not fall down but I got a ton of
mud and grass in my shoes nasty yuck gross disgusting.
Then I had to walk all the way to the car in them, even
more gross then stepping in the mud because they stank and where
squishy. But the fireworks where really good. So we had a fun night
overall.

Americas Junior Miss

My mom and I went to a reception
for a few of the Junior Misses from 2007
at the Ben main library in down town
Mobile. It was really neat the
girls all spoke and talked about what
their favorite book had been when
they were younger and the Americas
Junior Miss pageant. Then there were
refreshments in another room and you could
get the girls autographs, I got Miss Alabama's and
Miss South Carolina's.

Miss Sibylla's

We went to miss Sibylla's house on

Wednesday night, and stayed

'til Saturday night. We had sooo much

fun. Our friends the Winkleys were there

and we went swimming and blueberry picking together

and then sold the blueberries. It was fun

Blueberries

We went blueberry picking the other day

and in an hour and a half we picked 19 pounds!

We only had to pay one dollar a pound

so we went back to miss Sibylla's house

and sold them for Two dollars and fifty cents a pound.

we made about forty dollars but we had

to pay miss Sibylla back for the berries

and then split the remainder between

seven kids. So we did not get a lot of

money.

Joshua's Blog

Glory Road

We watched an amazing movie
last night called Glory Road!
The movie is based on the
true story of the Texas
Western University basket ball team.
In 1966 Don Haskins is hired to coach the
Texas Western basket ball team and since
he has very little money for recruiting nobody wants to
come play for him. Then he finds some very talented
black kids and they accept the scholarship's that he
has. To find out what happens to the team in that
turbulent time you have to watch the movie. I would rate it with 5 stars.
