Rainy day

Ping pong in the park

The cutest puppy in the world...NANOO!

The big dog's name is Gordo (which means "Fatso"!!!)
This morning when I woke up we went to camp.  At camp we played all the games we usually do.  In the middle of camp in the courtyard it started to rain, just a little bit.  Then at the end of camp it started to rain SO HARD!  When camp was over we were going to go to the beach with Arturo and Marcella but it was still pouring rain so we waited until the rain stopped a bit and then we went to the park.  At the park there was a really big dog and a little puppy.  The little puppy was so cute and snuggly.  He would chase you and nip at you.  The big dog would jump over two fences to get a ball and could play soccer with you.  Those dogs were so cool!  Then we went home and had dinner and went to bed. Ciao!

The Labyrinth

Parc del Laberint d'Horta

Jump in!
Montjuic pool

This morning we said adios to Grumps and Nat before we went to camp. At camp we took a bus to the labyrinth where we had to pick a group. I was in a group with Mohamed, Jan, Jamid, Hector, Arran and me. What happened was a group went in and then we waited two minutes for the next group to go in. Our group was the second to go in. On the way in the first group found the way. Then after say ten minutes we heard the group that went after us found the way.  Then Mia's group came in and after 20 minutes we decided to help each other find the way. When we were searching we lost Arran and Jamid but they got their way out somehow. Then Mia lost her whole group except for Kayla, her American friend. After another 10 minutes we decided to go through a fence and found the middle. Then there were different paths and I lost the group so I went back to the middle and saw them up at the end of the maze. So i was the only person in our whole group still in the maze! I went through every path and the last one I took was it!!! When I finally got out everyone was waiting. After camp we went to the big public pool at Montjuic.  At the pool we were doing lots and lots of dives. After the pool we got pizza and watched Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King. It's good!  Then it was time for bed.

To camp again

Playing soccer at camp

Me and Daniella
This is Grumps and Nat's last day here :(  This morning we went to camp. At camp we went bowling , swimming and played soccer, same as usual. After camp we chilled again at the house and played some cards. Then my mom and dad and Grumps and Nat went out for dinner at Gut next door while Mia and I stayed home.  When they got home we went to bed.

Back to camp

We made a centerpiece for the feast!

Stinky sausages

The feast
Today we went back to camp.  At the camp there were all new kids except for three kids [Mohamed, Ismael, and Rosia ].  At camp first we went bowling. When we went bowling I did medium skill. Then after we had a big soccer match and my team got second place :) Then we went in the gym and played baseball. Then we went swimming. When we went back home we chilled out and had dinner. The grown ups went to the market while we were at camp and got all sorts of food for a big feast, like fish, wild mushrooms and sausages.  The sausages smelled soooo bad!!!!  After dinner we hung out for a bit and then we went to bed.

Cosmo Caixa

We did not take this submarine to the museum!

Air pressure

Huge python 

The rooftop cafe
This morning Mom and Dad took us to Cosmo Caixa, a science museum with so many cool machines, with Arturo and Marcella.  To get there we had to take a metro, a bus, a train, and then another bus!  And we passed a submarine right before we went into the building!  There was a big swirly pillar that went down past a huge tree sculpture that led us into the huge room that has a lot of cool things in it.  My two favorite exhibits were a machine that read how calm and relaxed you were and you had to shoot a bow and arrow.  My second favorite one was a game where there were two people who were having a competition to see who could be the most calm and relaxed.  They had these things strapped to their heads and they tried to push a ball through a tube with their mind.  It's hard to explain!  There were so many cool science experiments!  Then when you're done everything there's a cafe on the roof of the building.  I had a drink, a sandwich and an ice cream.  After the museum we just took a taxi back to Arturo and Marcella's and had pizza with them.  Then it was time to go home and go to bed because we have camp tomorrow.

Park Guell and the beach

Park Guell

This guy was cool

What's everybody looking at???  A HUGE JELLYFISH!

French friend

Palau de la Musica 
This morning we went to Park Guell again with Grumps and Nat. At the park there was a guy playing the tortuga shells in a little circle.  Then we walked up some stairs to another place were three people were performing. One was playing the flute while the other two did a balancing routine. It was very impressive!  Then we went to a tunnel.  It was really cool. We walked up to the garden and on the way to the garden Mia and I both got a fan. After Park Guell we went to the beach with Artoro and Marcella.  At the beach I didn't go in the water because there was a huge jellyfish swimming around but some dude caught it. When I was sitting by my towel a French boy came and asked me if I wanted to play so we played some soccer. When it was time to go we said goodbye to our friends and left for a music show in the Palau de la Musica. There was a girl singing and a boy playing the guitar. They were kinda good.  When they were done we went home with Grumps and Nat (Mom and Dad were going to a jazz show) and went too bed

Play date

Cool and gross graffiti near Arturo's house
This morning we slept in until 12:35 because we were up sooooo late last night! After breakfast we went to Artoro and Marcella's house.  At their house Artoro and I played a lot on the computer, like a Mario game, a bomb game, and another Mario game, and of course, Minecraft.  Then we went to the park to play ping-pong.  All over Barcelona there are ping pong tables outside at the parks.  But when we got there people were already playing ping pong so we went to the playground for a bit.  Finally when my mom said it was time to go, the ping pong table was free so she let us play for a little bit. Then when we really left we started splashing each other in the water fountains and had a huge water fight.  We got soaking wet!  Then we went home and had dinner and made a movie on the iPad and went to bed.
