Yesterday was Canada Day! The sun shone through those dreary clouds and gave way to a nationwide celebration! To make it even more splendid, we had the lovely Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in Ottawa to highlight the fun day.
Ah, sometime in my future I am determined to spend Canada Day in Ottawa. That'd be a real party! But yesterday, I went with my family to a nearby town that was bristliling with activity. There was a small carnival, a dog talent show, yummy treats, and several great displays of Scottish heritage. You could smell the ocean and observe as people danced in kilts and played their bagpipes.
I went on this cool and really different ride. It's hard to explain. There is a UFO shaped machiene-room-thingy of which you go inside. around on the slanted walls, there's these mats that you just sort of lean againest. My sister and I had no idea what was going to happen, and there was nothing to hold on to, so we gripped our hands underneath the mat.Everyone else was just laying againest them.
So. From the outside, we saw that the "UFO" spinned around, and we were like, what up with that? But on the inside, you couldn't tell at all. It had an illusion of it being on a slant and that was it.
Now here's the cool part. The force it spinning made your body litirely stick to the mat. The force was pulling you back. And the guy in the middle, with all his controls, put a smile on and pushed the button.
The mats went UP! We were stuck on the mats as they went up and our feet left the floor. And guess what? We didn't need to hold on! My face felt like it was being pulled back.
So. We went up and down on this fun ride. And afterwards, I wanted to go on again, but we had to leave.
On the way home, we stopped and had pop and chips at the beach. My sister carved a flower on a rock for me.
Sadly, the fireworks were cancelled because of rain, but this was overall one of my best Canada Days!
Now. Booktalk! I finished Passion. Pretty good!!!
We stepped back in time with Luce, and watched her put the pieces together of her and Daniel's love story. She saw him in different situations with her past soul, watching him and realizing how much he suffered and how his side of the curse was worse.
It's sad how our fun friend Bill the gargoyle was someone else all together. However, it was pretty obvious he wasn't who he seemed. He was Satan, and he is now determined to change the world's past entierely. His plan? Go back in time to when the Angels Fell from heaven. It took nine days for them to Fall. Catch them in the Fall withy announcers. Change history with them.
And it all goes downhill from there....
Daniel, Luce, and the other Angels have nine days to prevent this from happening. Nine days to locate the place where they Fell. Nine days to save the world.
It's gonna be Hell.
So! Can't wait for Rapture! :) Final book in the series.
Right now, I have just started 'The Summoning' from the Darkest Powers Trilogy by Kelley Armstrong.
