7/1

WE MADE IT TO VEGAS!! There are so many sights to see and so many things to do!!! There are roller coasters, monorails, replica towers, and many more things! We are staying in the MGM Signature hotel and the room is very fancy.

7/2

Today we really tired ourselves out. First, we took a walk around New York New York, which was 8000 steps around the place. Next, we go to the pool and splash around. After that, we enjoyed a delicious and relaxing dinner, with pizza. Then, we bought monorail tickets and went to the Circus Circus. But, the nearest monorail stop was .7 miles away. That was another 9000 steps. We used up about an hour but were sore and tired. Thus, we took a Lyft ride back to the monorail, the MGM, and then the rooms.

7/3

Today we went to the pool at MGM Grand, where they had a lazy river and a pool. After, we went to Paris (Las Vegas) and saw the (miniature) Eiffel Tower. While there, we got quite a few steps in. After Paris, we went to M&M World, where they sell a ton of M&M merch. Billy got a "custom" mug (it had his name on it but was not chosen by him). After going to the M&M World, we grabbed some ice cream and then went to a fantastic dinner show called Tournament Of The Kings. The show was lovely. It was also the last thing on our agenda

7/4

ITS THE FOURTH OF JULY!!!! Today we got to go to the pool one last time, the pool in Tower 2 was better than the Tower 3 pool, so we went there. Next, we went to dinner at a fancy Chinese restaurant, where they had barely any edible food (for me). During the dinner, I managed to get Wyatt's phone number, although I had to wait a while. Next, we went to the Fourth Of July Fireworks! They were shot off of the Ceaser's palace at 9 PM. This was the last thing I did today.

7/5

We left Vegas, but the vacation is not over yet! We went to Uncle Brian's house and got some snacks. There was a lot in Vegas, but here it is chill.

7/6

Tomorrow we leave for home, but for now, we will stay at Brian's house. We hiked up the little wash/creek down the street. While hiking, Billy found a rock and calls it 'Peter', I think it's coming home with us -_-.

7/7

WE'RE HOME!! We spent around 7 hours in the car. Before the car ride, I get little sleep, if any. I woke up at around 6 o'clock. At about noon we stop for lunch at this cringy 50's diner. At 12:30 we set off again. We hit some traffic at 3, but Mom was annoyed with trying to pass a slow driver. The driver starts speeding up when we finally get into a passing lane. It was very annoying.

7/8

Today was our first 24 hours back home. Mom bought me a domain name for Rikipedia, I was pleased about it. The domain was bought through Google Domains, secured through Cloudflare, and hosted on GitHub. I spent all day customizing it and registering it.

7/9

Today we set up the backyard pool, live-streamed on Fortnite a few times, and relaxed.

7/10

Today we went to get some lotto tickets (I am not using them), then, I streamed on Fortnite and splashed in the pool.

7/11

As the date above says, it's 7/11. Thus I got a free Slurpee. But, before that, I got to go to basketball pictures and they ripped us off. We weren't on the 'schedule'. Schedule my ball(er)s bell photos. We took our own photos with the crappy light they left behind

7/12

Today I continued translations for Rikipedia, and prepared for my upcoming basketball game.

7/13

Today I had a basketball game, we lost but not by too many points. Before the game, I worked on Rikipedia all day, creating a newsletter and another article. During the game, I managed (I don't know how), to get a bump on my head.

7/14

Today I mainly worked on Rikipedia and Rikipedia Newsletter, Riki-News for short. I had a delicous breakfast at IHOP, I had a chocolate pancake with whipped cream and 2 cherries. We had a basketball game today, in which we won.

7/15

Today we mainly stayed at home and played Fortnite, but, Spectrum slowed down the WiFi, causing us to lag very badly. They said they'd fix it by August 1st.

7/16

Today was very chill, we stayed at home and played Fortnite.

7/17

Today, I figured out how to trace IP addresses, using CMD and an IP lookup tool. First, I pick a website to trace (I will use Rikipedia). Next, I type ping riki-pedia.org. After, I use the IP from the ping and run tracert [ip], replacing [ip] with the IP from the ping. After that, I put the resulting IPs here.

7/18

Today we went to Jiu-Jitsu again and learned a few new moves.

7/19

Tomorrow is Kirk's Birthday!! We got stuff ready and got cake.

7/20

Today is Kirk's Birthday. We bought him gifts and a card with a donkey joke on it.

7/21

No one's Birthday anymore, I heard we are staying at Tyler's house tomorrow!!

7/22

We stayed at Tyler's house, we haven't seen him in a while. We played games, watched movies, and much more!

7/23

Got home from Tyler's, yes we stayed the night. I had loads of fun while we were there. I Wish we could see them a bit more often, but they live far away.

7/24

Today we are just recovering from staying at Tyler's.

7/25

Today we just chilled inside the house all day.

7/26

Today we got to go to the water park and went on many slides!

7/27

The game was rough! This team got away with so many fouls!!

7/28

Today we chilled and played video games.

7/29

Today was very busy day. first, we went to Mataeo's party and had a BLAST. Then, we went to Rylan's house to see the fights. I didn't watch the fights, we mainly played on his new VR and the trampoline.

7/30

Today we mainly chilled inside, this evening I got to make a cake.

This specific cake was 2 layers big and almost completely gone after dinner. It was so much fun making and I hope to do it again!!

7/31

Today, Mom came home sick as we were leaving for the water park. During our time at the waterpark, we went down several slides, including "Eye of the Dragon", "Dragon's Tail", and many more. I think whatever Mom came home with might be rubbing off on me.
