THE BEST PARTY ROCKEN FRIDAY EVER!!!!!!

Waking up, with a new beautiful day, knowing it was going to be THE BEST PARTY ROCKIN' FRIDAY EVER!

I was super ready for school because it was the last...for term. We did not learn anything, but how to watch two movies from morning to lunch.  After that it was an awesome school party.  I knew to not eat sugar for an other week because we had lots and lots of candy and junk food.  I still ate sugar at the next party, which was a girl in my class's birthday party.   It was the classic Braeburn girl party (everyone does the same thing),  at the White sands Hotel,  they always have the worst/meanest  people to look after you and they never let you do anything fun. You always have to do the stupid games they want to do.  Its still kind of fun because all my friends were there and we got to swim in the pool and have lots of food and sodas.  I also learned an important lesson,  never bully.  I learned that because the birthday girl was getting bullied by an inpatient boy who pushed her and she fell down the slide and she hit her head badly.
  Well... I guess that's it... not that exciting... oh wait, my birthday party!  How could I forget!
I invited Reiss, Jake, Philip, Zharan and Carol. I had the best GUYS NIGHT OUT ever.  That's right,  guys night.  We went to the movies (cloudy of a chance of meatballs 2).  Then we went bowling,  then we went to eat at Roberto's.  That's were I got my t-shirt that's says, "Awesome Everett Worlds Best Trainer" from Ben and Natasha. I love it!  Luckily Reiss and Jake got to sleep over.  We stayed up all night and played with my new toys, we watched TV and I even took them to the gym to train them.  After all that, the next day we had a hang over.  It was a really great birthday!

I'm Bringing Suga Back

By Porter Fairbourne

So I started up the one and only Suga Rush again. If this name sounds unfamiliar, than your ether really old or just a looser. This is a company that I started with some friends in Hobble Creek Canyon. I was selling it at our school for about a week until the unthinkable happened,  the principal  himself told us that we could not continue Suga Rush so our company was finished after only one week. The worst part was, I barely got out with 100$.  Yet it came to pass, that here in Kenya a new market approaches.  A new school, so I got a sales team together and they were ready to sell. The only problem was that I only had a little bit of the ?secret? ingredient that my mom gave me for my birthday.  People loved it, they were buying it like crazy.  Before I knew it, I was out.  Luckily, I already had lots more of the secret ingredient coming from America and I got back in business quick. The really cool thing is the kids love it. I've been making tons of money, and my Dad says that maybe one day he will buy my company from me!

 

Camping trip

 As soon as school got out went camping for three days.  It was a really fun camping trip.  It was full of excitement and fun. When we arrived,  it was around one p.m. and it was really hot.  The beach was beautiful and the ocean was even more beautiful.  It was way out and you could see the coral stretch out really far.  We started to set up our tents as my dad blew up our stand up paddle board, then he and drove away and left us there (my dad doesn't like to miss work).  I stayed in a tent with all of the girls, Natasha, Lorna, Tatyana, and Philine. I realized not to ever stay in a tent with  a bunch of girls.  All night it was all chit chat and gossip while I was trying to sleep in the hot humid air, swarmed with groups of mosquitos.  To make matters worse, it started to rain! The rain started to come in our tent, and some of the girls when into the boys tent, but they had water in their tent. I was so happy it was morning.  When morning came we had breakfast.  Quickly we got on our swimsuits then we got blocked up before the sun shone on our faces and burnt our cheeks. As every one got a boogie board and swam out to the waves me and Everett were left without a board so we got in the ocean and then the dogs from our campsite got in the water and started to swim with us. They were jumping on our shoulders and licking our faces. Soon enough, my mom came to get me to help her bury treasure for a treasure hunt.  As we were putting out the clues some dude asked us what we were doing and we said we are burying treasure for a treasure hunt for the kids.  As we walked back to our campsite every one was back from boogie boarding and we had lunch. After lunch we did the treasure hunt. We gave them the first clue, which soon led them to the treasure. Once they figured out where it was, everyone started to dig.  It wasn't there!  The dude must have dug it up and took it!  We were all really sad because we all really would have loved the treasure (treasure=Rainbow belts candy). We all went back to the ocean. After that,  another one of our friends showed up, everyone was happy, then we played down by the banks. Then we got the idea to go down to these coral caves where there was a small pool of ocean water deep enough to jump off the coral cliffs into.  So then we all started to jump.  As the tide started to come up we had to go back to the campsite. My mom then got out all of the Scoobys  (like boondoggle) then we all started to Scooby.  Lorna soon went and asked these other campers if we could use their hammocks, and they said yes so they started to swing in the hammocks.  It got violent as they started to lay in the hammocks and swing into each other. We all started to get bored so we thought about a beach walk to build up our appetite for dinner. But me Natasha and Melia didn't want to go so we went on the paddle board. As we went we sang camping songs.  My mom noticed us and then she and Natasha's mom wanted us to come back because we were to far away. On our way back there was a group of Kenyan teenagers in the water.  We passed and they started to follow us.  As they started to hold on to the back of the paddle board screaming,  "give us ride! give us ride! give us ride!" We started to tell them no, and they started throwing sand at us and kept following us no matter what we said.  Eventually, Natasha's mom came up to them and started to scream at them in Swahili then they all left. We got out of the water as quick as we could then hurried to shower. After the shower we were surprisingly really late for dinner. We had a bomb fire and a dance competition.  We also made s'mores.  Most of the kids had never had a s'more.
I soon got really tired and went to sleep but this time in my moms tent. Early that morning I went paddle boarding with my mom.  After lunch my dad came and and picked us up, it was time to go home.  It was a really fun trip.  Its weird that its december and Christmas time because it doesn't feel like it at all!

Kenyan Christmas Tree

By Porter Fairbourne

Once upon a time there was a Fairbourne family who needed a Christmas tree so they went to Haller Park (its kinda like a zoo with lots of trees and grass and water and stuff )  So they asked a worker where they could cut a tree down. He showed us the way. I was riding in the tuk tuk (he would transport the tree to our house. The worker was in the car with my family, leading us the way and then we stopped. I got out of the tuk tuk and we walked into the forest. We saw the biggest Charley Brown Christmas tree ever. Then we told the worker we want that one and he went up and with four big saw motions he cut down the tree. Then he lifted it up and put it on his shoulder and carried to the tuk tuk and put it into the back.

We all got into the car and the tuk tuk followed us home.  A hour or so later we started putting lights on it that our friend  brought from the US. So we got them on and they looked so good for about 2 minutes.  When they turned off apparently the flow of electricity was different here so they burned out. So mother went out to the store and bought some lights here. She put them on and it took a while to get them to work and then to stop twinkling (she hates twinkling lights) then we hung stuff on it and it looked wonderful.  We opened the doors to the balcony to let some air come in and the wind blew the Christmas tree over.  The water from the
tree was everywhere.  The ornaments fell off the lights turned off.  By then my mom was to tired to do it all again, she didn't even want to come out of her room.  We were all kind off bummed, but my mom set it up the next day while we were at school and we all lived a Merry Christmas.
