I’ve Been Busy…

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t done anything.  I’ve been to Carowinds and to Myrtle Beach.  School is going great.  I have a sore throat and don’t feel very good so i might stop blogging now goodbye every one and sorry for the wait

First Day of School

First day at my new school.  I really liked it.  My teachers seem great.  I get to take a couple of technology classes and a geology class.

Are you ready for some football?

It’s preseason time and I got to go to the Carolina Panthers opener against the New York Giants…which we won.  It rained poured for a bit, but we had ponchos to keep us dry, thanks to Vicki.  Cam Newton played in the second and third quarter.  The half time show was a dog and Frisbee show.  It was fun.

After it stopped raining, it was great

That’s me in the poncho

I’m Home (Finally)

I am officially at home for the rest of the summer.  All two weeks that are left of it anyway!  Today I went to the endocrinologist.  My A1-C is 6.4%, which is great.  We upped my basal rate and insulin to carb ratio a little bit.  Taz got a really short hair cut.  I think Mom got a little carried away with the scissors.  He looks kinda funny with such short hair.  I’ve decided I’m going to eat mostly vegetarian food…and bacon.  Mom and I found some good recipes at Peas and Thank You to try out.  I’ve tried several of her recipes and really liked them.  I love her Tempeh Tamale Pie.

I think he looks embarrassed.

Thank You

This post is dedicated to all the people who made my summer amazing. Special thanks to Papa for taking me on the neat trip to D.C.  To Abby and Papa for putting up with me and my sometime crazy blood sugars.  To Dad for taking me para sailing and taking me to Jose’s Real Cuban.  To Laura for letting Kenny come down for a week.  To Kenny for coming and seeing what Florida is really like.  To Joy for letting Kevin go to the best beach ever.  To Kevin for swimming all day and gaming all night (even though Mom wouldn’t really let us do that!).  To Vicki and Randy for letting us stay at their awesome house.  To Greg for being Greg.  And to Mom for being the best person ever

Our last day

Today is our last full day on BHI. We have spent the last couple of days at the pool mostly.  We spent two hours cleaning the crabs we caught and Mom made crabcakes for breakfast this morning.  Yum.  Today we are going to spend more time at the pool and I want to fly the big kite we brought.  I think tonight we will watch the turtle nests to see if one will hatch.

I didn’t want to get up this morning

More pics from Bald Head

Trying to fold them up was even difficult!

They were crazy kites today

And we flew kites…

Time for a picnic on the beach…

Kite Boarders were everywhere today. Mom wanted to try it.

Panoramic Shoals Club

Yup. There is a sailboat in the pool.

Growl underwater

When we got there, there was a sailboat in the pool

For some reason. the pics I put up don’t stay in the same order.  If some of the captions seem off it is because they flip flopped themselves after I uploaded them.

Today was a beautiful day on Bald Head Island.  We went to the Shoals Club around 10am and stayed until about 4pm.  We went to the beach while we were there and flew kites.  Mom wouldn’t let us stay in the sun the whole time.  She staked out a couple of umbrellas.  We took our picnic down to the beach at lunchtime.  The umbrella we had on the beach flew out of the sand and hit some teenager in the chest!  It was that windy.

S’mores are goooooood.

Pirate weekend on Bald Head Island!!!

Hey everybody posting pics from the activities today.

We have had fun today.  We are doing a treasure hunt that has been hard!  We’ve gone all over the island looking for signs to tell us where the treasure is.  We got the trivia part done.  Tomorrow we have to do some competitions for extra points for the contest.

We got pirate autographs for our treasure hunt

I got to hold the bird!

Cannons and pirate guns are REALLY loud.

The Rusty Cutlass Band was great
