a returning?

So this is a little late,
But in honor of the classic Full House making a return, I thought I would too.

Full house is a widely beloved classic by all.
For the kids watching, it's a funny comedy they can relate to. I mean who can't relate to all the crazy adventures that DJ, Steph, and Michelle go on. Not only is Kimmy DJ's best friend, but Steph's worst nightmare. She is an outgoing person who finds herself a home within the Tanners. Who doesn't want a friendship like that?!?!

That leads me into the next thing, as to why the parents enjoy it. For the parents in a funny comedy that teaches their kids valuable life lessons. In hopes that their kids are learning from the Tanner's mistakes, so they won't have to experience them the hard way.

 (Found on IMDB)

This show sparked a revival in 2016 on Netflix, called Fuller House.
The plot is of DJ, Steph, and Kimmy living together again. However this time with their kids.
It is a fantastic show that Netflix rightfully brought back. This sitcom is arguably not as good as the original but does allow the younger generations to experience the brilliance of Full House's legacy. The show is now on its fourth season, and renewed for the fifth and final season. Unfortunately it is coming to an end, however, it still had a good runinng.

It teaches kids about struggles of adulthood and the difficult decisions to make. Sometimes there are no possible ways of knowing what you are doing, you have to stick with your gut and hope for the best. That's one way to interpret life's wild ride and all the crazy things thrown at you.

If you find yourself bored, scrolling through Netflix, I recommend watching the modern version of Full house.

To Kill a Mockingbird

Hello, so I haven't posted in a while, and I decided that I want to continue writing about these wonderful classics. There is this book that I absolutely love. It's To Kill a Mockingbird. To Kill a Mocking bird is such an amazing book by Harper Lee. It describes all the good and evil in the world, and how some outcomes will be prejudice. If you'll have not read To Kill a Mockingbird  yet, I really recommend it. It's a fantastic read, and you will most likely enjoy it. With Atticus explaining different life lessons to Jem and Scout, it creates one of the best classic novels.

Harry Potter

Hello, so this weeks blog is about Harry Potter, the best book and movie series ever! The wonderful series of Harry Potter was written by J.K. Rowling. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was written in 1997. The next "Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets" was written a year later in 1998. As for the next 2 books, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire", the were year written year after year. It took a little longer for the next 3 books. Which were "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", and the last book "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

Harry Potter is one of my favorite book and movie series. The books are just so amazing and fun to read. I never get tired of reading these incredible books. The action paced mystery of Harry and his friend's adventures are just so breath taking. The reality of it all, when nothing is real just amazes me. The mystical events that happen in Hogwarts is so imaginative. I will always love these books.

My Cruise experience part 3

Hello, so the last two blogs have been about my last cruise and this is the last blog about the cruise. So on my cruise we went to St. Thomas, Tortola, and Nassau. In St. Thomas I went snorkeling. In Tortola I went ziplining. In Nassau I went to Atlantis. In each of those places I went on shore and had an amazing time and experience. 
(Sunset leaving Tortola)

When I went snorkeling in St. Thomas I saw lots of fish, turtles, and coral. The excursion I went on was "Captain Nautica." It was a snorkeling adventure. The first cove we went to was turtle cove. We saw lots of turtles and fish. The second cove we went to had a shipwreck. My dad and I decided to swim over to the shipwreck. It was really cool to see. You could see the two engines through the hole in the middle of that section of the ship. Then we went back to the shore and got back on the ship. 

The next day in Tortola my dad and I went ziplining. It was an interesting adventure driving up to the zip lines. Once we where at the top of the hill about to go zip lining it was so pretty. The view overlooked the green hills and the port with all the huge cruise ships. The zip lines were ok. The zip lines in Belize are a lot better. Anyway it had an amazing view.

A couple days later in Nassau, I went to Atlantiis with my dad. We took a tour, we didn't go to the water park. The tour took us underground where they created this fantasy where in every window it showed the different aquatic animals living there. Near the end of the tour they took us under a giant plexi-glass tunnel where you would look up and there would be animals swimming right over top of you.  It was so beautiful there at the Atlantis Hotel.

My Cruise Friends

 So my last blog was about my cruise a couple weeks ago. I am going to be continuing that blog with this one. So on the cruise I met some truly amazing people. We all met in different areas on the ship. The first person I met was Lorelle I met her because of my dad. He decided to talk to Lorelles parents on the first day because of a soccer. The second peron I met was Oliva. She was in the cabin next to mine. We met on the balcony one evening and decided to go to Entourage the teens area. 
Later that day I met Olivas friends Peyton and Chandler. They go to her school where she had lived, so we hang out for the rest of the day at Entourage. We met Ashley, Abby, Jamie, and Riley there. All at different times though. Ashely had known my friend Lorelle so we just kinda hung out with her. I met Jamie because of Lorelle too. They both had British accents so they became instant friends. I met Abby playing Foosball. When we all met each other the craziness began.

We played mini golf backwards ( that was interesting), we talked, played Foosball, air hockey, danced, and ran around. We met lots of other people, did scavenger hunts, and interesting games. On shore we rarely saw each other. While on board we hung out every day. One time me, Jamie, and Abby decided to get ice cream. When we got the ice cream, Jamie decided to grab my phone and take random photos. 
That was the least blurry photo he took. I had an awesome time and we still talk today.

Norwegian Escape Cruise, part 1

So last week I went on a cruise. I went on Norwegians newest and biggest ship. I went to St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, and Nassau, Bahamas. I did many different events on board and off. I met some really amazing and nice people. I also had the best time.
In this picture it shows the ships rope's course, one waterslide, the logo, and some cabins.

On the ship there was so many things to do. The ship has 28 restaurants, a three story chandelier, a theatre, all that and more inside, there's outside too. There was three waterslides, entourage (teens club), mini golf, shuffleboard, swimming, eating, ropes course, ping pong, sports, and hunts. Sadly with being in port for three out of seven days, you only got to do a limited amount of things. I got to go on the ropes course which was amazing. It consisted of zip line, all the plank, walking 20 stories high on a rope, and many challenging obstacles. 

I really enjoyed this cruise, and had a awesome time doing everything. I can't wait for the next one!

Happy Days

Hello everyone, this blogs theme is Happy Days. Happy day was created by Garry Marshall.  This tv show won three Golden Globes, and many other awards. This is one of the funniest classic sitcoms I know. It stars Henry Winkler as Arthur Fonzarelli a.k.a. Fonzie. Erin Moran as Joanie, Anson Williams as Potsie, Ron Howard as Richie, and Scott Baio as Chachi. It first aired in 1974 and went on till 1984. 
www.imdb.com


This classic tv show was about the Cunninghams and their friends. The Cunninghams consisted of Richie (older brother), Joanie (younger sister), Marion (Mom), and Howard (dad). Fonzie was one of Richie’s close friends, as is Potsie. Chachi is Joanie’s boyfriend in the show. After a couple seasons Richie leaves and goes to the army, while missing his girlfriend, soon to be wife. We are later introduced Joanie and Richie’s cousin who becomes a P.E. teacher at the local High School.

Fonzie is the cool guy who attracts all the girls. Potsie is an amazing singer who is Richie’s friend. Joanie is a smart, pretty, cheerleader. Chachi works Al who owns a popular ‘hangout’ diner place, where Potsie sings. Along the way they all encounter new friends and problems. This sitcom is an amazing classic and a really good show.
