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

okay so the day started of with a raining day which isn't nice to see. So I woke up and then my dad was already up and then I was watching star wars and it is a really good movie so when I get back the next time I see you, you better already see it because I will be asking all of you what happens in it and if you have a younger or older brother they probably know so you can ask them. So anyways we ate some breakfast and left the house to see some jousting which it is really real I am not kidding like really but you know how earlier how I have mention that it was really raining. Well the jousting got cancelled (Too bad) so anyways since that got ... 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

So today we started off with my mom and dads run at the hotel and then once they got back from the run we went to have breakfast and I had 1 croissant and water and oranges and bread and then we checked out around 10:00 and then we left so we can come home. We stopped a few times Russell went for 1 mile run and I stayed in the car and did my 1 mile run later so now that we are home I did my 1 mile run practice and then me and Russell went straight to the trampoline and played this game where we can not touch the soccer bouncey balls!!! Before that we finally went shopping and for lunch I had some sushi and lots of apples and then we went ... 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
