Another Reason My Parents Are Better


AAAAAHHHH… Ok that’s all I have to say to get you to know that I am going to Canyon Lake this Friday with my favoritest Aunt Ollie (I can’t say that she’s my favorite Aunt cause they are all equally awesome!!!!). Canyon Lake is a place I look forward to going every summer and this year, due to my many sunburns, I almost didn’t get to go. But I made a promise to my loving parents that I wouldn’t get sunburned, and we will see how that plays out. My sunscreen better work cause I think I might scream if I come home sunburned and might never get to go to Canyon Lake again.

So with my Canyon career on the line, I will post when I get back to tell of the many festivities that happened there. Last year we didn’t go due to dam problems… hehe. Lake dam. Don’t get me wrong. But the year before that we took out the pontoon boat and found a nice cliff to jump off of. Don’t fret… The water was over 30 feet deep. And one of the others was we found a bike and tied a rope to the dock and rode the bike off the dock. Crazy, safe fun. Can’t complain with that… well I’m sure you could find a way to complain. But don't cause this world could live with a little less of it. (Mom and/or Dad will comment about this crazy complaint theory I have so watch out).

le Tour de France

Man I love the Tour de France. I couldn’t tell you why but… hey do I have to have a reason. I have been watching since I was about ten or even earlier than that. There is something about people riding a bike 200 kilometers a day for 23 days. Man that has to take some serious endurance. And to top it off… around about stage 17 is when it starts heading into the Alps of France. Heart rates rise up to over 200 and riders start falling one by one. The master of these Alps is a man named Lance Armstrong. I hope you’ve heard of him but not only was he the king of the Alps but also won the Tour de France like 7 stinkin times in a row. And that was after he battled cancer for two years.

This year I was going for a guy named Alejandro Valverde from Spain because he looked like he would win but now he is like 5 minutes back. In the lead right now, I think, is a guy named Cadel Evans from Australia. So maybe I should go for him now but… I don’t know…… Maybe I’ll just watch.

Coldplay.. Viva la Vida

Coldplays new CD is awesome!!! At first I thought it was a little weird, but once you listen to it a couple times.. musically it is the best CD ever. Each song it seems like has a different instrument. I couldn't start to name them but... Here is a video of their first release from itunes, Violet Hill.

My Last Week

I usually don’t like writing about moments and experiences because I have a fear that people just don't care about what other people did their last week. But this one was to good to leave inside. If you read the Stunz Blog then you should be caught up but the last week or so we went to Dallas for my mawmaw and pawpaw’s 50th anniversary. It was held at my Aunt Edie’s house. They have a pool and lots of fun stuff to do by their house…

We ate at pei wei one time which might just be my favorite restaurant in the world. We went to a restaurant called Medieval Times where you ate with your hands and watched thrilled fighting scenes versus many color-coated knights. They were very realistic and entertaining. Anna loved it. In fact my mom told me that she was cheering in her sleep. But we all loved it.

Then the we went to a Texas Rangers game… this game brought many memories like… A guy came up to bat for the Rangers named German Duran. Right when he got up to the plate I asked my mom for the camera to video him swinging. You wouldn’t believe it but he hit a home run while I was video taping! First time I video taped on the camera that day… I think. But I couldn’t decide whether I should tape the fire works or him running or try to catch the ball in the air with the camera. Gosh I will post it some day soon and you will see what I mean.

Then the highlight of my week. These are the reasons I like my Aunt Edie so much… Lately I have expressed my love of Toaster Struddles. Every time my mom has a grocery list I try to write it on there and if she is feeling nice she might buy them. But it hasn’t worked once. So my mom had to go to Target (Tar- shay) for some groceries and I told her to buy Toaster Struddles and my mom said no. But later my Aunt went out and, guess what… SHE BOUGHT TOASTER STRUDDLES. I was so happy. I ate the whole box and a half of another one. Thanks Aunt Edie.
