Today's trivia: Annie Oakley taught soldiers marksmanship during World War I

Yesterday Aunt Gina and I went "lake hopping" haha. There are 4 lakes around here but we only had time for 3. Then we went back to the hotel and mom came back soon after. We drove to Norman, had dinner, and drove to the college. Emily was waiting for me and we hung out for a couple of hours. She showed me around the campus, her dorm and we walked down to the river. I had to leave cause there was a storm and mom didn't want to get caught in it. Some of the lightning was sweet haha..it wasn't a bad storm though

Fairbanks: The largest city in interior Alaska began as a trading post in 1901. A year later, a gold strike spawned a boom town. It was named for a then-powerful US senator named Charles Fairbanks, who was later Teddy Roosevelt's vice president. Fairbanks serves as a transportation and shipping hub and government center for the Interior, and is home to one of the major campuses of the University of Alaska. Residents of the Fairbanks area, who number nearly eighty thousand, think of all other Alaskans as Outsiders

Yesterday mom and I went to Bricktown..it's this district thing downtown. There are restaurants, a mile long canal, a movie theater, etc. We ate lunch at an Italian restaurant and then took a "water taxi" on the canal. The guide told us about the restaurants and stuff. Then we saw Watchmen at the theater..it was confusing and really gory. I watch gory movies but that kind of gore..ugh. Then we went and visited the memorial where Timothy McVeigh blew up the government building. The museum wasn't open cause we got there too late but outside there are chairs for the people who died on each floor. Here are some pics..

Oh yeah, Aunt Gina's coming here to visit! Aunt Julie wanted to but things came up..

Eskimo yo-yo: This traditional toy is two unequal lengths of twine, joined together, with hand-made leather objects--balls, bells, hearts--at the ends of the twine. To work it, hold the longer string and whirl the shorter string. When it's twirling smoothly, throw the longer string in the opposite direction. To keep everything going, move your hand rapidly up and down. Hey, if you think understanding this explanation is hard, get a yo-yo and try it. We dare you

Movies watched this week: Phantom of the Opera (1925 version)

Aunt Gina sent dad and I gift cards to Barnes and Noble. Books yay! Haha

I finished the Harry Potter series..that made me sad haha. At least there's two more movies on the way. I remember Magister talking about the Latin in the books and that it wasn't good Latin or something. Well..lupin's a real Latin word, and so is accio *looks up more* Uh yeah..I think she did her research *raises eyebrow at Magister*
