My Birthday!

On Thursday, it was my birthday! I turned eleven years old. Happy Birthday, to ME! I had a birthday party on the Saturday before my birthday. The theme was, "I Scream for Ice Cream!" We played a number of games and had ice cream sundaes. I got some candy, a skittle bag, six webkinzs, two gift cards ($35) for Wal Mart, one gift card for Target ($15), a lot of art things, and a lot of supplies to make different things.

On Thursday, I got some clothes for Justice, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Last Olympian (the fifth book of the series), and the first book of Fablehaven. I also had a field trip to a track meet. I got in third place three times and sixth place one time. We were outside for six hours (all of the school time). It was the best day ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Percy Jackson & the Olympians Series

Have you ever heard of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series? They are so awesome! I love them! I am on the fourth book. They're five books total. They are so exciting.

It is about a boy named Percy Jackson. He is the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, in Greek Mythology. Zeus, the god of the sky, had his lightning bolt get stolen. He blames it on Percy. He said if he doesn't get it back by the summer solstice, there will be war between the sky and the sea. Percy now has to find and bring the master bolt to Mount Olympus where all the gods are.

Want to know more? You have to read to first book to find out how it ends. Percy goes on more adventures, meets new people, faces more monsters, creates more enemies, and learns a whole lot more skills to make him survive. I personally cannot wait 'till I get to read the fifth book and I do not want it to end!
