So today me and Russell and my dad ran 3 km and my mom ran 5k but my mom went seperately and then we went inside for breakfast and then we left for the day. So today we went to an abbey then left off to a castle and then we went to the boat ride to a real island with lots of seals and birds and puffins but this time no sharks or any thing scary like that but there was a lot of jelly fish. Russell spotted an orange jelly fish that was dead and I spotted an orange jelly fish that was alive and guess what is was finally a nice weather not too hot not too cold but just right it was a perfect day and so we went to the island ... read more

Today we had a rainy morning so put the run off till the afternoon and went to do some shopping. The Scottish family last night gave us some tips on where to shop so we went off to Livingston and found some Scottish paraphernalia. We were successful and then also went into M&S (Marks and Spencers) to get some food supplies. Home for lunch and a long run and by then the rain had basically stopped. Then visited the nearby Pentlands Nature Park to walk around the boardwalk loop (over a 15 foot thick peat bog floating on a couple metres of water - so don't step off the boardwalk!). Saw lots of slugs and some tiny frogs. Too much fog to see the tops of the pentlands. Out to the Spylaw Pub for a nice ... read more

First of all the day started of withme waking up before anyone else does and then I woke up my brother Russell and we were playing soccer on the Playstation and then my parents went down stairs to make breakfast and then we left after the breakfast to go on the double decker bus and we all went on the top and it was really scary because every time the bus driver would turn it would look like he would hit people but luckly he didn't hit anyone which was good so then we got off and walked long ways to the Edinburgh castle which was pretty cool because there are most likely no castles you can see in Canada and then we had lunch then we went back to the bus stop and went on ... read more

I am very sorry that I forgot to do my blog a lot of days, so now I am going to do three days. We went to Dornoch castle which has a hotel in it. It is where Madonna got married. You can research about her. We went to the beach and saw a lot of jellyfish and I cried my head off because I was scared they would sting me. My dad told me not to worry because if you get stung someone just has to pee on you (and my dad goes to the bathroom a lot!). But I was still scared of the jellies. Russell and I had our own provate room at the castle that was connected to the parents. The breakfast was really tasty. All I had was food from my ... read more
