Funny letter

Brynn, Cassie, and I walked to Swirlz only to find out that my favorite flavor is not there anymore!!!!! So we wrote out Customer Service cards and turned those in. But that wasn't enough! We typed this letter. (but we aren't going to turn it in)


Dear fellow Swirlz-ians,

I would like to notify you of some very big problems. 4 words, we need butter brickle! Everybody that I interact with has mentioned wanting Butter Brickle back. Poor, poor kids. This is a matter of life and……well never mind. I am worried about my salvation and stuff…you know, people not having Butter Brickle can make them very frowny inside. Butter Brickle is the love of my life, the apple of my eye…it is the reason we breathe today. It is the reason Swirlz was established. Yes, that IS the reason. Butter Brickle is the best thing my tongue has EVER touched. PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE bring it back, like tomorrow. Tomorrow is manana in spanish…. Swirlz is NOT the same without it.
Slinkeys would not bounce! Children would not laugh! The sun would not shine! The universe would explode in mid-air! [probably] Butter Brickle is the cure for all diseases. It is a magical flavor bursting with happiness….and rainbows……and puppies…but mostly rainbows. It makes the whole world go round. I’m serious. I am entirely not joking. I will be sad. Forever. Well, maybe not forever. But until you bring it back. Butter Brickle is Swirlz without the s and z (wirl). Even my chinchilla is getting depressed. And my pet raccoon. And his girlfriend Periwinkle. You know she has glasses. But only for reading. On the other hand, my finches have diabetes. All because of Butter Brickle. MY FACE HAS TURNING GREEN! Just kidding. My grampa used to treat that flavor like a son to him. He’d take him to ball games.
Did you know 9 out of 10 people prefer eating Butter Brickle than sweat socks? Yeah that’s right, people DO like that flavor. VOTE FOR PEDRO! Proof of percentage…everyone loves it

You see! Everybody likes that flavor! I have a scientist who lives down the street. Her name is Cassieopia. She is very smart. My finches are calling and need their diabetes shots so here she is.

According to the International Wumbo Theory, the specimen also known as Butter Brickle substance in the form of ice cream can be very nutritionous and tasty to the human tastebuds….therefore it is needed to survive. Here is a quote from the International Wumbo Theory.

“To human nature, Butter Brickle contained artificial flavoring and vitamins, or as the kids, teenagers and adults say it, ‘froyo’ is important to humanity. See, it’s as simple as this….I Wumbo, you Wumbo, we all Wumbo!”
-International Wumbo Theory

Okay I'm back. AHHHHHHH the finches are attacking!!! He's got my ear! Get down Beisenberger! There. That’s much better. You see, the finches have been acting up ever since ya'll took away Butter Brickle. They used to be all sweet and happy with an ounce of froyo in their water dish, and now they are vicious man eating monsters!! You have got to help us. Bring it back. For the finches. And for humanity.

And while you are at it, Periwinkle wants me to tell you that she wants Pomegranate Tart back……but that’s a different story.
Regards,

Nancy Carmichael J

Robbery in Ladera

Okey dokey. This is a no picture post. Sorry. Instead, I will tell a story. Alright, well, It was Tuesday night and I wanted my dad to put some money in my account and so I gave him all of my babysitting money. The next day, (btw our aunt, our cousin and her kids came over to swim on Wednesday...post later) my dad went to the bank at around 3:35ish. He had just finished depositing my moolah and headed for the door. See, the doors are automatic so before his door shut, someone snuck in. The door hadn't yet closed when my dad heard, "EVERYBODY GET DOWN! THIS IS A BANK ROBBERY!" Two other guys about to walk into the bank went next door to Happy Nails and locked the doors. In complete shockedness (Not a word) He turned around and saw a man, about 6'2 faced the other way with a silver gun, threatening everybody. Well my dad got in his car (Luckily it was only a few feet away) and called 911 on his cell phone. While giving them a play-by-play of what had happened, My dad spotted a suspicious guy walking to his car with no food, no nothing with a black hood on. He hopped in his car and my dad followed him (turns out he had nothing to do with the robbery) and 911 lady asked him for the license number. The two guys that had locked themselves in Happy Nails saw the robber with a bag full of money get into a car and they called 911 to report the car. Turns out, my dad, and the two guys rode in a police car to tell their stories. The 2 guys recognized the car and the guy was caught then my dad was released. When he came home to tell us this, he was still shaking. He is scarred because he will still have that voice in his head saying "everybody get down! this is a bank robbery!" I am really proud of my dad for being so brave.

Hawaii Part II

Pics taken from my phone-

George Lopez is right to the left of the girl in the green sweater

LA From the plane...

I took these at the beach(Obviously)

We went to a mall called Whaler's Village (we walked there cuz it was really close to our hotel) Here is a whale bone.

Nick and Maddie spent a lot of time on the playground

Aloha hard! (lol inside joke;)

Part Uno!

phewf! I FINALLY uploaded all of the pictures. Now for the writing part:P Okay let's get krakalacken. So for spring break, as you all pretty much know, I went to Maui. I have pictures on my mom's camera and on my phone. These are only from my mom's camera. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Great. There's more." Yes there is more. Now, lets get started......

When my dad ordered a shuttle, this arrived.

It was really fun being in a limo and Ryan kept making faces at the drivers out of the tinted windows....he would do that.

Well, when we arrived at LAX airport, we noticed that our flight had been delayed. We were supposed to leave at 6. The flight was delayed until 9:15. Let me tell you a little story. It's called, "Texas Gives Us Bad Luck." Our plane needed to repair its parts. In Texas. A couple years ago, we went to Florida but our plane stopped in Texas. On the way home, we stopped in Texas but couldn't continue our way to CA. Texas was having some bad weather. So we had to stay a night in a hotel. No clothes. No toothbrushes. No nothing. Ugggg! Ok now that that's done, lets carry on.

First morning there, we had breakfast at the pool.

Maddie collected shells,

And made "Peace sign" poses in all of the pictures.

We went to the beach.....

..and every night, out to dinner.

I made a mermaid while Nick made a.............

Hole.

See, you have the peace signs again.

Hand stand! again!

And we went right back on the water slide!

Out to dinner

FlOwEr PoWeR!

This is the view from our hotel room

This is at a place called Mama's Fish House...it is delicious!

And on the way home:( We were kinda star struck after seeing George Lopez at the airport! I took a picture of him..on my phone.

In N' Out on the way home!

Sippin' my shake

Well, I'll probably post later today or tomorrow about the pictures on my phone! G-Lo here we come;)
