Running For 30 Minutes Straight

I did this because I had no basketball or any kind of sports to keep me busy so I got cranky. I was working up to running 30 minutes straight. I did not like getting on the treadmill to do this because whenever mom told me to change my clothes, I was always doing something. After I ran, I always felt better and was in a better mood.

How We Remember

Image
We love to remember our different adventures so we started collections. I, Madison, collect pins. My favorites are my Creation Museum and my Ark Encounter pins from northern Kentucky. I like them because they are so colorful. My Pin Collection Brooklyn collects keychains. Her favorites are from Niagara Falls in Canada and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. They are her favorites because she liked going to those places. Brooklyn's Keychains Avery collects magnets. Her favorites are the one from Maid of the Mist from Niagara Falls and Navarre Beach, Florida. She likes them because they both have sparkles. Avery's Magnets Right now I have 20 pins. I hope to have at least 100 pins. Our collections will continue to grow as we have more 'Big Adventures'. We hope you will start collections too and keep the memories of your adventures.
