Flashback!

On Friday we went to 6Flags. I rode a lot of crazy rides, but the craziest ride was the Flashback. You must be 48" or taller. It made me very dizzy. My dad said its the worst ride in the park. The Flashback was very fun! It had loops and turns and steep drops. I waited in line for about an hour before I could ride it. Jacob rode it with me but he kept his head looking down the whole entire ride. He had fear in his eyes! I liked going backwards better than going forwards. The ride was very fast! Mom and Dad can't ride it because they will throw up if they do! Well, maybe Dad won't, but Mom will for sure! We had a lot of fun at 6Flags and we stayed all day! If you click on the picture on the top right you can see me and Jacob on the Flashback while it was going up! It went up like 20 feet or 30. I am not sure. It went up high! If you click on the bottom right picture you can see me on the 7th row on the left (I was actually on the right, but on the picture I am on the left). Leave me a comment and tell me if you have been on the Flashback and if you liked it or not.

100 Is Easy!

100 is easy (at least for me.) Do not go crazy, when you learn to read. So tackle the TAKS test, I heard them say. So I made a 100 that very day! No matter what grade you're in-8th, 6th or 3rd try to be commended, that's the best word.

I wrote this poem to let readers know I'm going to the 4th grade!

At The Hospital Again!

OK! I just can't stand all this hospital stuff. It's driving me crazy! So this is The History of Cole Newton To Tell People How To Avoid the Doctor. This one is Volume 1. It reads, NEVER SLEEP WITH YOUR EYES OPEN. I hope you enjoyed that. Now for Volume 2. It says, IF YOU SLEEP WITH YOUR EYES OPEN AND CUT YOUR EYE WHILE YOU SLEEP, LISTEN CLOSELY-- WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT THE HOSPITAL AND YOU ARE GETTING YOUR EYE DILATED HOPE THAT YOUR PUPIL WON'T STAY HUGE. That is all the advice I'm giving you so, REMEMBER! I'm going to cut to the chase. The doctor I had took forever and said that I had to go to another hospital and stay home until my eye is better!

At The Hospital

So at 5:00 in the morning on Saturday I woke up my parents. Mom got up and took me to the bathroom, and did a lot of things with me. It was CONSTANTLY drop, check, drop, check to my eyeball. She told me to go back to bed and I hoped that it would be better at 7:00. When I woke up again my eye still hurt. My mom called me in her room and asked me, "Is your eye better?" I said, "A little." She said we were going to the hospital. I HATE hospitals. So I fought with her. But she forced me to go. Whenever we were there we waited for at least 30 min to go to the back. Then I had to get my weight checked, and they took my temperature, and they used that blood pressure cuff on my arm. I couldn't feel my arm. It was like a boa constrictor on my arm. Then they took me in the hallway and asked me to read an eye chart. After that, they took me to a different room and I had to get numbing drops in my eye. Then they waited another 30 minutes and they did it again. The third time the door opened there was a new doctor. She used a popsicle stick like thing to flip my eyelid back. She was looking to see if there was a sty on my eye. And then she took a stick with an orange thing at the tip and put it on my eye. After that she turned off all the lights and got a blue flashlight. She shined it on my eye to see if I had a cut. The medicine she put in my eye was glowing under the flashlight. Mom said it was yellow. She found a cut on my cornea. I fell asleep for a good 40 minutes after that. Mom said I snored really loud. Then the door opened again and I automatically woke up. I knew it was the doctor! She was there to dilate my eye. Those drops were cold and did not feel good. They had to wait 15 minutes and do it again. Then I got an eye patch and some grape flavored medicine that didn't taste good, but it made me very tired. So we went home. Once I laid on the couch I was out! Later we went to Bubba and Windy's house and I fell asleep on the way there too. I was pretty much sleeping the whole day. I didn't like the eye patch because it was on my right eye and my left eye wasn't as strong as my right eye, so whenever I would open it, my right eye would open under my patch and it didn't feel good. I fell asleep on the way home from Bubba's and once I was in my room I went to sleep in my bed. That day was very bad. But it was easy. Everybody did what I needed and I didn't have to do anything. But that day did hurt. Today I feel better and I took my eye patch off. My pupil is really big and the light hurts it a little, but it feels a lot better. Even though I hate hospitals, I am glad they took care of me.

Skateboading


Photo Sharing - Upload Video - Video Sharing - Share Photos


This is a video of me learning how to skateboard when I was about 5 years old. I really liked to go to the skate park in Tyler with my dad. Jacob was too scared to ride down the ramp on the skateboard. I like the part of the video where I fall off. It is funny. Now I am better on the skateboard and I can do a few tricks. Last night I watched a movie with my dad about Tony Hawk. It was good. Sometimes I can go to the Kilgore skate park with dad, but it is really small. I liked the one in New Mexico that we went to. It was big like a swimming pool with lots of ramps. I hope you like my video.
