What a (couple of) day(s)!!!!
Hello. Let's get down to business. Real Salt Lake won 2-0, and I got a jersey, now I have only $40 left. Te next day we went to Ogden for a bike ride and swim. Yesterday we started dance camp. It's called Dance Tech Studios. I do lil' man dance camp. It's breakdancing, parkour, and just pure fun. There are 2 instuctors, boh men, one is 15 and named Cole,and the other 18 and named Tyler. There are only 3 kids including me. The 2 other kids are 7 yrs old. We're learning lots of dances. Today after camp we went to a crater with a natural hot water springs inside. It was really awesome.

Real Salt Lake!!!!!
Hi there!!! Sorry I didnt blog yesterday. I was to busy. Yesterday we went to Utah Olympic park. It was a training center for skiers and snowboarders. I know your thinking, in the summer , how? Well I'll tell you if you didn't keep asking questions. The did the tricks into the water, not on bare land. At the park there was also a tobaggon slide witch was awesome, then there was a zip line that was also awesome, and finally a ropes coarse.
Today me and my dad went on a bike ride, the same trail that we did a couple days ago. But this time instead of only doing 2 there and 2 back we did 6 there and 4 back, we would have done the whole thing, but my dads tire popped. Then we went swimming at a pool. Now Im just laying low because I'm going to a fricken awesome Real Salt Lake game!!!!!!!!!! It startes at 8:00 here, which is 9:00 o'clock in Chicago. And I'm going to crack open my money that grandpa micheal who generously (not really) gave me $100 to spend and buy a jersey. Haleloyah!!!!!!!!
See y'all later (not really),

I'm Pooped!!!!!
Dear all you followers, aw what the heck, what's up y'all? Today was really awesome. We started the morning with tv, then hot tub, then (as my mom has decided) we headed for a trail head all the way on the other side of a few mountains. The drive there was uneventful, but not so the way back (I'll tell you about that later). The walk started off pretty bad. The first half mile we were climbing to a height of 600 m (that is from the ground, not sea level). the rest of he hike was uneventful. We stopped at a cute restaurant on the side of the highway called silver spoon diner. We had to wait a while for the food to come, but it was worth it. I got a hamburger that was wicked awesome!!!! Later we went to a hike that let us stream jump, but there weren't any streams. It was completely dry!!! But it was soon made up for. We came for what we came for, donut falls.we had to walk down a stream then climbed up a lot of boulders to get to the falls. Now you would think donut falls would come out of a piece of rock shaped like a donut, but no, it's actually a waterfall that falls through a cave (more like a tunnel) shaped like a don't, then goes into a series of waterfalls, down to everything else I have just explained.
Then for the driving, as I said, the drive there was uneventful, but the way back. Uh-oh. My mom decided to go around the mountains I was asking about, and we went up in curves, and down in curves. It was so steep on the way down that my mom was going 60 mph without her foot on the gas!!!!! Then came white knuckle driving (Montenegro all over again). One lane, one a ledge on a mountain really, really high. All 3 of us kids were freaking out like "stop the car" or the best one "AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH". Wasn't it smart of me to do that? I know right, so smart. Anyway, as we got home we got a whiff of burning rubber, it turns out, my mom was riding the brakes so much, that she burnt the tires!!! Later we got in the hot tub again. I am right now sitting on the couch, digesting dinner, which was chicken, green beans, and potatoes. If you know me you now that I only ate the chicken.
Well I got to go, my mom's yelling at me that I'm taking to long,
So Bye,
Adiyos Amigos,
Shalom Haverim (good bye friends in Hebrew),
See ya later suckas,
The one and only,

We're here!!!!
After 22 hours of driving were finally here!!! We left Evanston at 7 o'clock in ghe morning and got to our halfway point in Nebraska at about 7. We stopped at a holiday inn at the halfway point for the night. Them the next morning we again left at 7 and got here at 6. The time is different by one hour from here and Chicago. We ran out of the car and inspected our house. We have a flat screen tv and a hot tub. Halleloyah!!!!!! I have my own room, and the girls share a room. Today we are going to take a hike, and our friends who are here with us's family are coming for diner. But for the rest of the day, we're just going to play it by ear. I start camp next week, so this week is free!!!!!!!

I'm coming home!!!!!!
I'm coming home tomorrow!!!!!!!! Well, today we went to a walk, but then my mom decided not to do it, so then we went straight to Ljubljana (you do know that Ljubljana is the Slovenian capital, of course you don't). Once we parked, we walked around and went over (almost) every bridge. Then we went to the market, there was food, but not what I was looking for (you do know that I was looking for the Slovenian national team soccer jersey, of course you do) Then we walked around town and my sister and my mom went into some (in there words) "cute" stores (no offense). Then we went to 2 different sports stores and I was able to choose one jersey which I really like. Then we went to go to our hotel, and right now, I am in my parents bed blogging. See (some of you) tomorrow!!!! And for the last time, Balkans, over and out.

Swimming, eating, hiking, and sleeping is what we do here
What a day it was!!!!!!!! First, we went to a bakery where I got a bread roll and Sarah got a loaf of bread. Then we drove to a very narrow and unstable bridge where my mom almost vomited. Then we drove go a different bridge that was even more unstable, and my mom also almost vomited again. Then we drove to a hike that was really beautiful and have bridges that (you guest it) my mom almost vomited (isn't that really "surprising"). There'd where also a few caves where my mom got creeped out because she thought that there were "bats and spiders" (Ohhhhhh, spooky) (no offense mom). Then, we went to a restaurant and got fries (yeah, there still popular half way across the world) and played hearts. Then, my dad made pasta and we had that for dinner, and then me, my dad and my sister went to get (in my words) on of the worlds best ice-creams. So now, I'm laying in my parents bed and blogging. Only 2/1 days until I see you!!!!! Slovenia, over and out.
