The homeschooling journey of a 10 year old girl. With thoughts on my schooling, faith, and activities. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:44:00 -0500 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:44:00 -0500    I'm sorry that my posts are not regular, I've had a busy summer.  We've gone to Disney, Camp,  had VBS and we go to the beach in August.     Here are some pictures of my Disney trip with my friend Taylor.  Me and my mom, and Taylor and her mom (Aunt Anna) went to Disney for the day.  It was so hot, that I don't know if I ever want to go in the summer time again! This is me and Taylor at Animal Kingdom by a waterfall--the spray felt great! This is Club Cool in Epcot.  They have free sample of soft drinks from around the world.  Me and Taylor were so thirsty we just wanted to go in and get a drink. This is our drink we made up and we call it TJ's  Mixicola!  This is me testing it--Taylor is thinking "she's crazy"--but she liked it too when she tried it.  It's been difficult trying to blog, so i'm going to make a time once a week for blogging--see you next week with more pictures! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/563631/ Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:44:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/563631/ Here is the picture of Giselle Right now is when she is saying "oh, that's me!"  , My mom got a really good picture of it. Here is me and my Aunt Tracie Me and my Mom, my Grandma, and my Aunt Tracie  with Cinderella I had a wonderful birthday and I am really thankful that I get to have so much fun!!  I took some pictures of my Giselle doll and am going to write a story about "Giselle's Journey Home" and post it next. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/528796/ Wed, 7 May 2008 18:53:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/528796/   Hi,  Sorry I haven't posted in a long time,  I was really busy with the Youth Fair, Dance, and our Co-op.  I'm going to finally post about my Birthday trip to Disney. This is me and my Grandpa in front of Cinderella's castle--His Birthday is right after mine.    We had a great time. My mom, Aunt Tracie, and Grandma and Grandpa went together.  We had dinner at Tony's Italian Resturant on Main Street USA.  If you look, you can see Lady and the Tramp on the window A cast member at Disney saw my birthday pin while we were waiting to be called for lunch and asked me , my mom, Aunt Tracie, and Grandma to follow them.  I got a private meeting with Cinderella.  She talked to me for about 15 minutes and let us get a lot of pictures. She was really nice and told me that Giselle (Enchanted) has a surprise appearance right before the parade in Adventureland (she told me, because I had my Giselle doll with me) I  Went to Adventureland  and Giselle said Happy Birthday to me and when she noticed my doll she said " Look, it's me!!!"  I'll post those pictures next post because it's telling me that I don't have enough space!!  http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/528752/ Wed, 7 May 2008 16:25:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/528752/ The 26th of next month is my birthday.  Me, my mom, my Aunt Tracie, and my Grandma  and Grandpa are going to  Disney World for the day.   I hope to go to Tony's for lunch, it's an Italian resturaunt on Main St. (it's supposed to be like Tony's from Lady and the Tramp).  My favorite ride at disney is Soaring , it is a visiting ride-from Califorina.  It is a 4D ride and you feel like you are flying on a hang-glider. My favorite part about it is when you fly over an orange grove you smell the oranges.   I also like the part where you fly over a snowy mountain and smell pine trees!  I'm really excited about my birthday-I always have fun.         I made a pueblo village diorama and a new cake from cake class but I can't post pictures today because the batteries are low.  I'll try to post them tomorrow, Bye http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/463222/ Thu, 17 Jan 2008 13:58:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/463222/   I've never done this but here goes!                        What was your favorite thing about this Christmas??  I tag   actresssinger13 , roseleona , katherineleigh , Belle, dancerocks101 , abbypie3000, and  GotGod22 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/458113/ Wed, 9 Jan 2008 08:50:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/458113/     The day before Christmas eve Christy  (my step-sister) and I slept outside, in the back of the truck.  We had a nice toasty campfire and the next morning we were supposed to get up early, but Dustin (my stepbrother) got up first and scared us.  Then we got up and opened presents. My favorite thing that I got was a bag and a long trench-like coat, a Nancy Drew book with the audio CD, and a Nancy Drew computer game The Secret of the Old Clock--it's really neat because everything in it is old fashioned like from the 1930's.  I'm going to learn to be slueth-like, like Nancy Drew.      We tried to make a rocket for science (we are studying astronomy)  This was kind of a model of  the Space craft Cassini that is exploring Saturn . It didn't work that great      At cake decorating class last night I made a cake with Belle from Beauty and the Beast on it.  I learned to make rosebuds, they are all red around the edge of the cake.  Hope everyone has a great day http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/458109/ Wed, 9 Jan 2008 07:06:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/458109/      Our family is listening to a story called The Cinnamon Bear.  The cinnamon bear is an old  radio show  about a family. The two kids are in their attic looking for the star for their Christmas tree.  When they find an old  bear they soon learn that  the star for their  Christmas tree is gone.  The  Crazy Quilt Dragon stole  it. The kids went to maybe-land to find it.  They have lots of neat adventures in Maybe-land looking for their star.         These stories came from     Homeschool Radio Shows     They offer free stories everyweek and if you join (we did) you get extra stories and stuff. It's really neat.  This is me and my very own "Cinnamon Bear"  :-) http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/446272/ Mon, 17 Dec 2007 14:03:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/josalynnesjourney/446272/ My dolls are American girls I have Nellie, Samantha, and Jess .
