Olympic Trials

Hey it's Splash again. Sorry I haven't been blogging lately, my mom went to Arizona for 5 days and I was really busy around the house. Anyways, this weekend is Olympic Trials and I know someone who is in it. His name is Matt Elliot. He swims on my swim-team and I talk to his family a lot. I think it's so cool that I might know someone in the Olympics!! I really hope that he makes it to the Olympics. Many famous olympians are in this meet. Michael Phelps, Ian Crocker, Katie Hoff, Natalie Coughlin, and Aaron Peirsol. Now if you don't recognize any of these people, but you say you keep up with most of the swimming going on, well YOU DON'T!! Anyways, I do keep up with the swimming because it's my favorite sport in the WORLD. No I don't care for basketball or baseball but I do like football. I LOVE SWIMMING!!! So there. OK lets move on. If any of you have heard of the camp Swimming with the Stars, well thats a camp where you stay there and some olympians come! I have a movie called "Unfiltered" It's about Michael Phelps and Ian Crocker and what they do in their everyday normal lives. When they swim, they're complete enemies but when they get out they are friends. They swim on 2 different teams except when they are in the Olympics they swim for America. But Ian Crocker is in Texas and Michael Phelps is in Michigan. It's a great movie! Well thats all for  now. Thanks for reading and I will talk to you later!

Wii Fit

Hey it's Splash again! It's finally summer vacation! HORRAY!! Well, a few weeks ago, we got the Wii Fit! It really helps you with your exercise. It tells you your balance, your weight, your Wii Fit age, and helps you get more muscular. Over the time I did it, I gained a little, which is good for my age. It is very fun. It keeps track of how long you have been on, and if you have been on for so many minutes, then you will unlock new games. On Wii Fit, it makes your Mii look like what you should look like because of your exercise. My favorite games our Hula Hooping and Ski Jump. On Hula Hooping, you pretend you have a hula hoop, but really move like you would with a hula hoop. After you do it for a while, you have to catch other hula hoops. It gives you a work-out all right! On Ski Jump, you squat down and keep you balance, then when you get to the designated area to jump, you stand up quickly and powerfully. You don't jump at all though. Once your in the air, you keep your balance and see how far you go. I do it a lot to try to beat my family member's scores. It really is addicting. I hope you get one. If you have one or your going to get one, leave a comment telling me what you like about it! Thanks for reading and have a good summer!
