INCREDIBLE Caterpillars

Hi guys,
So Mom got this butterfly growing set for her birthday. It's been amazing watching the caterpillars grow from 1.5 cm long to 1.5 in long!!
But today,
something absolutely amazing happened...

Btw, I'm sorry if the video got boring....! Until I find a way to speed it up, it'll just have to be very long...

And also, I apologize for the weird music. It's not my fault Photos didn't have something suitable!!!

Anyways, thanks for reading/watching this,

have a great day!!!

We Went to See 'Reckless Abandon'!

Yesterday, on Sunday the 24th of June, me, David (my little brother) and Mom went to see 'Reckless Abandon' at the Magdalene Centre in Broadbottom.
Reckless Abandon is basically the story of my great grandmother, Elisabeth Elliot. It tells about when her husband (and her friends' husbands) went out into the Ecuadorian jungle and got stabbed by Aucas. It was really good because it felt like you were really in the story and the actors were really funny 😁
And I must say that they had very good American accents! (All of the actors were English!!!)
Here is a picture and a video...

Here's me and David at the stall...

Here's mom with Natalie Holman (the lady who wrote the play)...

And here is me, my bro and Mom along with the cast1

I'm going to put the video in later, as it takes a long time uploading them...!

Circus Trip!!!

On Wednesday, 25th April, at 4:20 PM, we left for Mr. Fip's Wonder Circus.
IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
You really have to go.
Anyways, I would've taken videos of all the acts, but before it started the ringmaster said not to.

He did say I could take photos though.
(*phew*)
so.....here you go!!!!

We had ringside seats!

The 1st Act...

Isn't she amazing??

Then came the ponies...

they were so SO cute!

2nd Act...

She was juggling BASKETBALLS with her FEET!!

Then she rolled a cylinder on her feet...

...and even stood it up as well!

Then came the finale...

I was dumbfounded.

(I heard one boy say: "Is he trying to kill her or something??"🤣)

Next came the 3rd act...

*gasp*

I liked taking pictures of her shadow :)

And why didn't she put her hair up??

Next came the clown...

He was super funny!

 

"Where's my hat?" ^

THEN came the horses.

They were absolutely beautiful!!!

One even bowed at the end 😮

Then it was the interval.
And then...
the magic tricks!!!

Her assistant got into a box, and then she put poles through it.

Then she got REAL swords...

...AND STUCK THEM IN TOO!!!!

Then...

She lifted the lid of the box, and there was her assistant - totally unhurt!!!

(Sorry this is so blurry)
Next trick...

*gasp*

*BIGGER gasp*

***GAAAAASP***

Wow.

And she was unhurt too!!!

This might be a bit confusing...

So she got into the box,

Then the brown haired lady stood on top of the box and held up a tube of material and shook it...

And then they suddenly swapped places, and the brown haired lady got out of the box!!!!!!

Then there was a cool indian dancer, who did some amazing tricks with hula hoops...

 While standing on a ball!!! (Isn't it shiny? :3)

She laid them on the ground,

and then walked across, swinging them up with her feet!!!

Here she is, posing.

She even juggled with them too!

Oh my goodness.

*gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasp*

Wow. Just wow.

SO. MANY. HOOPS.

Then came the clown again.

He started dancing, but the ringmaster said not to, so he danced in a different place, and so on.
It was hilarious!!

These girls swung themselves up on this material, and danced on it to a floaty pop song.

I loved it.

Now this was fantastic.

We thought later that they must have been brother and sister.

This was so cool!

They even danced on those things!!!

Then (*drumroll*) she helped him get onto a really high one!!!
After a couple of tries, he was riding it.

He even juggled!!!

And this was really cool too.

For the finale, she made him ride this super teeny tiny bike!!!!!!

We all laughed sooooo hard.

Hooray!!!

Next came the ultimate juggler.

 He juggled with balls...

And even juggled using his mouth to pop them out!!!!!

Then he threw hats like boomerangs.

 He was soooooo good.

Then finally, the big finale came :(

All the people who had taken part danced, while the ringmaster sung a song that was most likely from 'The Greatest Showman'.

I absolutely LOVED it, and I hope you will if you decide to see it one day...
