Answer To Riddle

Guesses were flooding in the blog. (1 guess) People were very curious. I added a couple extra days. This is it, the answer to my riddle. Now first I have to say thank you for everyone who participated. To refresh your memory, here is the riddle.

A patient is sick. He will die in about a year if the doctor doesn't give him it's medicine. Although the patient is still alive he is still very sick, and never feels well. The doctor has the medicine, yet he won't give it to him. If the doctor waits much longer, the patient will die.

How does this relate to this blog?

Really, how does this relate to the blog? Well, before I say the answer, I have to say something else. All particapents were wrong. So does this mean nobody gets a prize? Normally, yes, nobody gets a prize, but since only one person answered, they get a prize for being the only one answering. And also, the outcome of how many people answered kind of has to do with the answer. Here is the answer-

The patient is the blog. The doctors are you. Yes, you. all bloggers on this blog are the doctors. ( Kardas', Suval's, Kassin's). If you noticed, the blog's new's has been going very slowly. It is only me, Grandma betty, and mom (cheryl). The rest of you have the medicine, which is the news, yet you are not giving it to the patient (blog) meaning you are not posting it. If the doctor waits much longer, it will die. Or in reality words, if everyone just stops posting on it, it will die, meaning it will be done with posts, comments and polls.

Yeah, that is it. The reason I made this riddle was because I just thought of it, and I thought it would be fun to share. But I don't know if it turned out fun because only 1 person participated. And now after I said this, some people are going to be like ' Don't say it wasn't fun, yes it was! i just didn't know it was ending, I was still thinking'. But another thing I warned you in the comment you had 1 more EXTRA day, so that is no excuse. Now that I am reading it over I sound like a teacher or a strict parent, so sorry. But participants, remember, you will get a prize.

P.S- It is summer vacation!!!!!! :)

Home Run!

The Mets sure scored a home run with having Citi Field as their home park. It is the coolest place I have ever been to. It is just soooooo amazing! I am going to tell you about Citi Field

Arriving At Citi Field

We were almost there, and I was so excited! I asked and we were just soon about there. We were on a highway and I saw the Met's Citi Filed sign that they have on top of their scoreboard. I was so very excited when I saw that, i was going crazy. We got there about 2 minutes later. I saw the stadium, it was beautiful! It looked just like pictures, and it was just amazing. it is like a magical painting coming to life. We saw the fan walk, and found Michael's brick that he has that says "It's All About Baseball And Mets"  (with his full name on it). I wish I could have one, because it is a piece of Citi Field. There were tons of bricks with stuff on them. They were so cool! And then we went in, and it was magical and awesome. When you first go in it is the Jackie Robinson rotunda. It was very nice. Then there was a big cool Met's Gift Shop called The Team Store or something. I really wanted to go in. Citi Field was beautiful, old fashioned, modern, retro, and kid friendly. They had tons of food court places and stands. It was amazing!

Food

The food was amazing. From typical ballpark food (hamburgers, pizza, hot dogs, french fries) which were amazing and cooked to perfection, to seafood and Subway, Italian food and Mexican food it was just amazing! I got pizza, and it was really good. They have a big area with tons of food places, and picnic benches and tables. You were outside yet in the stadium. It was so magnificent! They had famous places ( famous from Citi field) like Shake Shack and Blue Smoke. Everything was just great. They also had Dip n' Dots (ice cream dots) and Blue (for mets) cotton candy, pretzals, popcorn, nachos, and so much more! They also had 5 star restauraunts. The food was the best!

Great for Families

Wait, wait, let me rephrase that- Perfect for families! They have a kid section near the big outside food section. It has a mini field where kids can go and try to hit home runs. I didn't see it up close and personal, but I saw a lot of pictures of it. I would've went into it, but I think it is for younger kids. They also have a "Hershey Park Dunk Tank" where someone who has the job goes in, puts on a jersey of the opposing team on, and you line up to try to throw the ball and dunk her. It is filled with pillows. There is a thing that records how fast you throw the ball. The kid who threw the fastest ball would get a prize. I didn't do this, but I wish I did. We were to busy. But for sure, Citi Field is perfect for families!

Gift Shop

At one point in the game, the had to get a new Umpire at home plate because the ump was hurt, so that took a while. So me and my dad decided to go to the gift shop, The Team Store. It was amazing! They had so many great things it took me a very long time to decide on what to get. They had Met's T-Shirts, a shirt that said "Professor Reyes", bobble heads, Mr.Met stuffed animals, tons of unique met hats, met pens, foam fingers, pennants, key chains, figurines of met players, mini colored bats, unique baseballs, and so much more. I got a pink mini bat that said Met's on it, and a a baseball card pack of 50 cards with just Met players to share with the family. The gift shop was spectacular, I could of lived there!

The Actual Field

We got in our seats which we didn't think were close, yet they were pretty close. Although we couldn't see the scoreboard, it was fine. The good thing is at one point it was raining (there was a rain delay) yet there was a thing over us and we were covered. The seats were a little bit bigger and had more leg room, and the field was great. Something that I thought was really cool was you can see the met's in the Met's dugout which looked very nice. During the rain delay, me and my mom waved big at the dugout, and I swear, it really looked like one of the players waved back. So, the field was out of this world!

Citi Field Rocks

Everything about Citi Filed was great. All of it was amazing! I enjoyed going to Citi Filed even thoughn sadly the mets lost. I can't imagine the new Yankee Stadium being even near as nice as Citi Field. Yes, I know the new Yankee Stadium is nice, but for sure not close to as nice as Citi Field. One thing I can say is that Yankee Stadium is like a ballpark, but Citi Filed is like a baseball home.

CITI FIELD

Though the outcome of the game was not a good one today, I just have to say that CItifield is the most beautiful baseball stadium I've ever seen! Alsolutely awesome in every way. You Shea fans out there, please don't be afraid of it. I know you have your personal memories but there is truly no comparison between the two places :-)

Riddle

I have a riddle for all of you. Here is what it is-

A patient is sick. He will die in about a year if the doctor doesn't give him it's medicine. Although the patient is still alive he is still very sick, and never feels well. The doctor has the medicine, yet he won't give it to him. If the doctor waits much longer, the patient will die.

How does this relate to this blog? Comment on how you think it does, and in a 6 days I will say what it means. If you get close to it you will get a prize. P.S- You have to think real hard. it isn't the best way to explain it, so think outside the circle. Also, it is not true, nobody is sick (just in case you didn't know) but remember this is very confusing (my mom says so) so this may be very hard.

small hint- i would give you 3 days, but I thought and I should give you 6 days, because you probably won't be on in time.

Elizabeth's Dance Recital

Wow, what a enjoyable dance recital I saw last night! Elizabeth's danced in 3 different segments.. Hip Hop, Jazz and Ballet. They were all great but I have to say that my favorite was Elizabeth doing a ballet. I think it's the first time she ever did ballet and she did it wonderfully well. her Hip Hop and Jazz were also great.
So thanks, Elizabeth and Nicole, Grandma saw some great shows this Spring.

The poll questions

Hey, Not to brag or anything but I've been guessing right a lot lately about who is the author of the poll question. Evan, I had your number this past week... Peter, also and Elizabeth. But of course I'm not the only that guessing correctly so who else of you are out there? Don't be so modest! Tell!
PS The poll questions are really fabulous (sp?), imaginative and interesting!

Nicole

Last week I went to Nicole's Spring Concert where she played the flute with the band, sang in the chorus and announced one number. All 3 were great.
Today I went to her dance recital, her segment was a dance about France, The costumes, music , choreography and Nicole's dancing were wonderful. I really enjoyed it.
Happily for me, next week I'll be going to Elizabeth's recital. I am so looking forward to it because I know from the past years that it is ALWAYS GREAT.

Dancin' Shoes

It's that time of year again-- dance recital time! 

This weekend, Nicole will be dancing in 3 different recitals performing jazz, modern and musical theater numbers!  Next week it's Elizabeth's turn. She'll be dancing all weekend long to jazz, ballet and hip-hop!  Good Luck girls. It's gonna be great-- can't wait :)
