Soul Surfer

So I'm gonna review the Soul Surfer book and movie.

BOOK
The book Soul Surfer was really good. I read this before I saw the movie and I totally devoured it. It was really interesting. For those of you not familiar with the story, it's about Bethany Hamilton. Bethany is a pro surfer. In 2003, when she was 13 she was attacked by a 13ft. Tiger Shark and lost her arm. It's her story. She wrote this book a year after and it's basically introducing her life, what happened before and after the attack, how people reacted, and how she got back on the surf board. She is a great surfer despite her arm loss. It's truly an amazing story. She's Christian and she really tells how she trusted in God and she was able to overcome her obstacles. I highly recommend this. My mom and I both read this book and thought it was great. It wasn't a hard read. Fairly easy, but still worthwhile and great.



MOVIE
I think that the movie was a very good portrayal of the book. They did a really good job. They did not over dramatize the attack. It was not gruesome or gory or descriptive. They simply showed how it was and it was totally fine. Yes, they did leave some things out. But most movies do. But the things they did leave out were a bit minor and there for inconsequential. I think they added one or two things, but what movie doesn't? Overall, this was a good movie.

A Poem of Complete Nonsense....

Sometimes on occasion I'll compose a poem or some song lyrics. Yesterday I was showering. I didn't want to get my hair wet so I was experimenting with using Shower Caps instead of just pulling back me hair. And because of this I just started making up a poem..........about Shower Caps. It is quite silly, but I post it for your enjoyment.

Shower Caps

Hannah Taylor

A Shower Cap is a very queer thing
It sits on your head tied 'round with a string
It only keeps dry what you want to be
Tis quite an interesting thing you see
Everyone knows Shower Caps are hard to find
Yet, if you take the time
................
You know, this turned into a very strange rhymn.

Snow Trip

So on Friday we drove up to Sonora/Twain Harte area. We were gonna have a small snow vacation. It was at a cabin with another family in our stake who we know pretty well. After we all arrived and settled in those who wanted to headed for Dodge Ridge. It's a nearby place that well was good I guess.

It wasn't like a steel hill. It was more a wide, icy, flatter place. But if you went far enough up and started down, you could build up TONS OF SPEED. WOWO. It was totally fun. We had like one -2 hours of play then headed back for the cabin as the snow began to pick up.

It snowed that day and night. It was like having a White Christmas in March By the next morning 1-2 feet of snow had added to the already low level. We spent the first part of the morning sleeding, but when the snow plow came through we headed to pack. Mainly because we don't have any snow tires/chains, or 4 wheel drive on the Van. We left roughly an hour later, and were very lucky to get out. If we had left any later, we would have been snowed in for another day at least. Not fun.

It was a short but fun trip. Sorry this report it crazy late.
