So, I've decided to begin the reactivation of my blog by simply posting entries again. So, today is Friday, June 26. Not too much is happening today. My brother left at 10 a.m. with a friend, he'll be there until 4 p.m. There are two things I'm really looking forward to today:

-The end of this week's contest.

- Playing Dicecapades.

I'll start with the first one. On Monday of this week, my mother announced that this week and each week of summer break hereafter, a contest would be held. The theme and objective would be different each week, and the winner of each contest (either by popular vote or mother's choice) would receive $20. For those who don't know, I have a 10-year-old sister and a 13-year-old brother that will be competing with me (I'm 15 years old). The contests open and close Friday nights at 8 p.m. This week's theme was to create a plan for a two-day trip. The destination could be anywhere in Florida (that's where I live), and you had to plan everything - times, cost, a hotel stay (if your trip takes two days; one-day trips are permitted). My entries (you can have as many as you like) are both one-day trips, one a plan for Blizzard Beach and the other for Typhoon Lagoon, both Disney water parks in Orlando. I suspect that I am not the only one that came up with these parks; investigation has revealed that all three of us have at least one 1.5-hour trip to Orlando as one of our entries (the parks take roughly 1.5 hours to get to from where we live). My brother mentioned that of his four entries, only two are good. My sister also has two entries. We'll find out tonight.

Playing Dicecapades is the lesser item on the list, only there because we've owned it for almost a week and haven't played it. The game contains 133 dice of varying shapes, size, and colors, which you use to complete challenges and activities as you move around the board.

Before I wrap up this blog entry, I'd like to reintroduce the Grammar Points system. If a reader ever spots a grammatical error in one of my entries, they will be awarded Grammar Points, and their name will be placed in a special content block along with the number of points they've earned. Spelling errors are worth one point each, and other errors will be worth two or three (depending on the individual error). I'll come up with awards eventually, but for now, good luck!
