A Day At the Museum

This past week we were in Missouri visiting my aunt, uncle, and cousin. they are right by Kansas City which is one of the locations of American Idol Live! so we went to that concert. (post on that later) I am being shown how to put pictures on so I have many pictureful posts to come!We went to a museum of things five men found in an old ship that was buried in a cornfield.. this was very interesting and they still have tons of stuff to be cleaned and put in the museum!

This sign says Castor Oil.

This sign says Original Medicines- Unknown Content

These are the buttons. The five guys who dug this boat up found over 3.5 million beads, which took them over EIGHT years to clean, just the beads!

Candles 4 A Cure

Many of you may not know that my cousin died of cancer in December of 2006. He was about to be nine years old as of January. I was probably seven or eight. This Christmas, I got a candle making machine from my Grandma. How this may relate you ask?? I'll get to that. During this Summer, I have kind of been on a candle -making craze. I've probably gone through ten pounds of wax. Other than gifts (the sole purpose they're intended for), I still have lots of candles around... My mom recently told me  that there is a shop in the Quad cities that gives most of  its profits to help cancer research. She came up with the idea that I should donate some candles on behalf of Jake. We told my aunt this and she thought this was a great idea.My mother told her that we were trying to come up with a label name  and she said, "Well I'm not feeling very creative right now so...". A minute later "I got it! How about "Lighting the Way to a Cure"? Not feeling very creative right now, hmm? I think this is a great name! How about you? If you're thinking it's lame, tell me a better name in the comments! I'm wanting to involve YOU, yes YOU, in this as well. YOU can be a part of this!

My View On: Cowboys & Aliens

Again, movie marathon in Missouri for vacation. I really hated this movie. I really did. I was outvoted. I am one that can barely stand a Rogue Sharks episode on The Discovery Channel. I am  not going to explain the plot.(because 1. it was a little confusing in some parts.2. it was weird ). But I am going to give you the basics. It's about a cowboy that doesn't remember who he is , or all that. He has a huge metal bracelet that also, he doesn't know about. He slowly get random flashbacks and memories of a woman. He goes to the nearest town and they eventually get attacked by aliens. Blah.Blah.Blah. My dad is going to explain the rest of the plot 'cuz i don't wanna. His words will be in a different font. Here he is: OK.  As a guest blogger I will be short and to the point.  Aliens come to earth during the late 1800's.  They want gold too, for some reason (not explained in the movie why). They have done this to another planet...which you will find out by watching the movie.  Indians join in the fight too.  Aliens start to capture people, and that's when the fight begins.  The plot is interesting, but the movie moves a bit slow for either a good western, or a good SciFi flick.  I don't think the "aliens" were new either... coming from another movie.  That's about it.  Scale of 1 to 5 stars.... 3.

 

I really didn't like this movie because it was pretty bloody, weather it was Alien guts  or human blood.I don't  recommend this movie.. For me, I wouldn't see it "til I was older than thirteen..
