Blog 7: Look no feet!

Look no feet! Next time I am going to try no hands! I just turned 9 years old last week and received every little girl’s dream as a present from my grandparents. Not only did I get a brand new pink and purple bike (my favorite colors) with brand new, shiny training wheels and a white helmet, I also got a crazy track to ride my new bike on. My grandparents bought the land then built the track for me. As you can see they started this project long before I was even conceived, it’s a bit old looking. The first time I tried it a few days ago I was kind of scared because we don’t have lights on it yet, but it was so much fun. It is hard to carry my bike up the 85 steps up to this starting point, but it is so worth it! It is so big, every time I go it is a good 10 minutes of craziness. My brother makes fun of me for still having training wheels but I am too scared to ride with just two wheels, no way! I just feel safer. People get out of their cars and stare and yell, I don’t know why, I think they are just jealous but they can try it if they want, I love to share my toys. I am bummed though because next Friday is show and tell and I really wanted to bring this but I can’t, so I am showing everyone on here!

I really like your caption for this picture. You did a really good job of creating a story behind the picture. Your story is very creative and fits the picture well. I like that you incorporated how the little girl feels. For example, "The first time I tried it a few days ago I was kind of scared because we don't have lights on it yet." This creates a feeling for the reader and it works well with the picture.

Cool picture! I wonder if that girl actually went down that rollercoaster or if it was just made up with computer graphics. I also liked your caption to that picture, you did a good job in creating that short story about her grandparents building it long before she was concieved. I wish my grandma and grandpa would do that for me. It was also a little funny how you talked about her being tired carrying her bike up the 85 stairs.

Wow, it looks like your grand parents must really love you. The must have know they were going to have a thrill seeking grand child years before you were born. Haha, I really like your post, it was very original and funny. I like that you pretended it was actually you, and did it in first person, or something. This picture is funny, I hope that little girl didn’t die taking that picture. Or who knows, it was probably photoshopped, or done by a stunt man dressed as a little girl. Anyway, good job, this post shows your good sense of humor and creativity.

Wow, that's one crazy image that you found. It looks like a lot of fun well that is as if I ever find the guts to even go on that thing. It just look way too dangerous to ever go on that without any kind of very very high safety precautions to it. I love your caption, reading it was fun and hilarious. It like how you included her family into the caption. It makes you feel a little closer to her almost as if you knew her. She has one loving grandparents. Well I feel her, I didn’t even stop riding tricycles until I was like ten because I was too scared I might tip over or fall.
