 Me and my girl friend went to Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. I like going in October the best because its around my birthday and its Fright Fest. Basically the whole park at night time is a haunted house but outside and more open. We went on a Sunday so that way we both didn't have to work so it was easier to go. It happened to be such a nice day out that there was so many people there. This was the first time I had to park across the lot of the parking lot in this side parking lot. I didn't understand we got there 30 after the park opened and it was almost full compacity. apparently the day before they were sending people hope and told them to come another day.

I'm a big roller-coaster person- I love rides. I could ride the same coaster over and over again all day long. Which I have before because there was nobody at the park one time I went on fright fest due to weather it was like raining but not at the same to more of a mist. And the forecast said rain all day long it rained for like 20 minutes and they didn't stop the rides either so I kept riding the one ride where the wait is always 2 hours plus. 

This past time we went for one ride it was a two hour wait. the next ride two hour wait. I didn't understand what are all these people doing here on a school night with little kids. And I'm pretty sure most of these people have to work the next day like go home so I can ride all the rides I want. Not only were the ride lines long the bathroom and food stands had lines looking like a roller-coaster line. All in all I had a great time and had the best company to go with which its all about spending time with people and having fun.

Chasing Coral

Coral reefs have been a beautiful site to see. In most of the tropical areas around the world coral reefs can be found. Most commonly known one is the Great Barrier reef. These advanced creatures are more like us than we know. they are the only other species besides us that are able to build these city like homes. when the documentary captured the structure and foundation of what they can do it's really amazing. I loved the fact that they show us the beauty of these deep sea creatures. 

What I wasn't expecting was to see all these coral reefs dying. in the film they were turning white all across the world. and it was upsetting to see these colorful these become gleam. I have personally seen them up close when I was on vacation in the Bahamas.  The while deadness to these coral is so depressing to look at. But coral isn't just about its colors its about the fish and other organisms that it provides for. Which these people in the film are trying to show why this is happening and to get the word out so people can see this tragedy.

What can be done to stop the coral from dying? What could the data collected in the film help these people start a plan to solve this issue? How can people like us help? If it has something to to do with  global warming can we even stop it? This documentary is an eye opener and I enjoy snorkeling as do some so if there is something to help out I hope it gets the word out.

Twins

If you can't tell by the title I'm a twin. I have a fraternal twin sister meaning that we don't look the sane plus we are different genders. Everyone I've ever met think its the coolest thing in the world, don't get me wrong its cool all. But its noting different to having the same age as a brother or sister. Just the fact that we have to share a birthday cake doesn't make it any different. We have a birthday coming up too its on the 21st of October so about two weeks. We'll be turning 19 this year. 

happens to be the number that My sister and I wore in high school sports. I didn't like it at first because 19 has always been my lucky number and favorite but it grew on mew that we had the same 19 it kinda had a good ring to it. Its funny when we go out and people ask if we are twins and say how you don't like that similar but I just laugh and tell them because we are fraternal. Twins run in my moms side of the family. My grandpa is a twin and his father before him was a twin as well. When my grandpa married my grandma he married her and his twin brother married my aunt aka my grandma's twin sister. 

Twins usually skip a generation so when my mom was born she didn't have any twins in the house just two older brothers. So when my sister and I have our own families one day we won't have twins but our children might. It's crazy how two people on the same day are born within seconds to a minute from one another. Birthdays are special for just one person and even more special for two.
