Park Omega

So today I went to Park Omega with my family.

 My baby brother and I loved feeding the animals! Although my mom helped him a lot ;).

We bought 3 bags of long carrots to feed the animals and we kept having to stop using them so fast!



There were a couple of warnings like don't feed the boars. (Boars are like pigs)
And they were EVERYWHERE!
Everywhere you looked  there were at least 3 boars!



We did the driving path. We were behind another car that were feeding the boars even though they weren't supposed to!
Man are they aggressive, they fight for the carrots!

Another warning was to not get out of the car near the wolves.
What did these same people do? Got out of the car!!
And around the bears, same thing!



Crazy people.

My personal favourite was the bears.
There were 2 adults and 2 babies.
The coolest part was that they had just come out of hibernation!



 I also loved the wolves! Especially the arctic wolves. They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

Another fun part was the Cabane a Sucre.
Where we got maple taffy on a stick!
It was DELICIOUS! Although the wait was cold!



That was also my families first time going to Park Omega in the  winter, but we have gone MANY times in summers past.

I look forward to returning in the near future!!

CAMP!!!!!!

The Lion King 2010 - I am the one with the mane


One thing I love just as much as acting, CAMP!!

I have gone to the same camp since I was 5 (except for 2008) and I always go to the same one...

CAMP OUAREAU!!

Camp Ouareau is an all girl bilingual camp that was started in 1922.  There are 3 age groups. 
The 1st is Dekopi  - that's from 8-11, then there is Chipka that is  12-13, then seniors which is 14-15.
There is also a Junior camp. That is where I started at. 

Next year I'm going to be a Chipka!

There's so much to do there!! Here are the activities:
Water: swimming, canoeing, kayaking, sailing and windsurfing. 
Land: Tennis, rock climbing, archery, camp craft, adventure and herbertisme. 
Expression: pottery, DRAMA, arts and crafts, dance, tripping and language.

 My favourites are: Archery, pottery, canoeing and DRAMA!!

Last year we did the play "The Lion King" and I was adult Simba! They chose a girl a year younger to play little Simba. It was so much fun!

Most years I go in July so I go during my birthday and they take birthdays to the next level!

There is a huge mess hall and everyone eats at there assigned tables. So after the meal they will turn out the lights, bring out a chocolate cake and everyone will sing happy birthday! 

If that's not enough after they bring the cake to your table you have to skip around the whole mess hall!!

There are cabins and tents, but in my opinion, the tents give you the real experience. I always sleep at the back right bed and I have since I was little. For some reason that is my favourite spot to sleep!

Don't forget the memories made with new friends! 
Getting to meet new people that is the best part:).

I met 2 very special girls that I'm going to miss next year because I'm going in August instead of July.

One more thing is that if you go for ten years you get your very own Ouareau canoe paddle!!!

I love Camp! Not just any camp, but Camp Ouareau and I plan to go back  every year I can!!

Camp is my life.

ACTING

Acting is my passion inside of school and out.

I recently took part in a local play "Beauty and the Beast". Although I had a minor role in it, had a blast! During that time I met some fantastic people.

The play I'm participating i right now is a school play, another classic. 

101 Dalmatians! I have one of the leads! I play...

CRUELLA DE VIL!!!!!

My school got our report cards a couple of days ago and in drama I got a A+!

2 of my other best friends got the leads as well. 1 got the owner, Anita, and the other one got the mother dog, Perdita. 2 of my other friends play my henchmen, Horace and Jasper.

There are so many songs and dances. Even the rehearsals are fun! I also love acting like someone I'm not. Also dressing up is fun.

I have a lot of I have a lot of lines to memorize but I have a good memory which helps. I love acting with my friends I'm in so many scenes with them, it's so much fun!!!

A little bit about Moi

Hi,my name is Holly and I'm 11 years old.

This is my first blog and I'm really excited!!!

I absolutely love playing hockey. I like to sing but acting is my passion. 

I live on the country side of a already tiny city. But big change is going to occur this Summer...

I'm going to go from a country girl to a city girl!!

I'm not going to say which one but let's see if you can guess through my posts.

I believe that it will be completely different from where I live now but I love adventures. Although I will miss my friends immensely,my parents lived there and they have promised that I'll love it. I love going and looking at houses with my parents, but my older brother isn't thrilled with the idea because of his amazing friends where we are now.

It's definitely going to be a transition but it's worth a shot.
