Rome day 2

Hey hey hey! What's up bloggers/blog readers! Well here's the post you've all been looking forward to ROME DAY 2! And I can tell you, living it was pretty amazing (almost as amazing as my dream to become a world class possi farmer!) But posting all the amazing pictures and lovely descriptions took a lot of hard work for my fat little Maddie hands so all y'all' better enjoy it! Day 2 was spent in Rome seeing the very big but kinda useless war museum, the Colosseum, the roman Forum, and Palatine hill! WOOT WOOT! So I guess you could say my day was jam packed with excitement, looking at really old buildings, desperately looking for air conditioning, and eating GELATO! Most of the pictures are out of order, if you have any complaints please address them to finny (my personal typist) And she'll get her little finny fingers right on it. :)

The OH SO AMAZING TREVI FOUTAIN! (and some
tourist heads....)

The pizza I ate for dinner, ha ha ha I asked the guy for
pepperoni and Noah decided he wanted that too so he
asked to have what I was having, well when we got our pizza's he gave us
A pizza with bell peppers on it, not hunks of fattening meat, DARN THEM!

Kennedy, Noah and I in front of the war Museum
that's very big but really has no importance or significance what so ever.

The trevi fountain....... At night.

Kennedy,Noah, and I in chillen by the trevi fountain

All of us.

Kennedy and I.

Me making my wish, for a pony, maybe it'll come true someday!

Me looking amazed in front of the Colosseum!

The roman forum, in other words, the place where the heart of Rome actually was
But now it's just a big old pile of fallen bricks and stone, If you look really close on
the right side of the picture you can see them setting up for a concert! Kinda like Lizzie
McGuire when she sang in the Colosseum with huge amps and didn't make it collapse,
I'd have to say that's in my top tens for best display of unrealistic movie making EVER, it's movies like that that aspire me to become a movie director and sprinkle the world with some movie magic!

Us in some random little area in the Colosseum!

Me in front of the Colosseum on Pallintine hill!

Kennedy Noah and I on the inside of the Colosseum!

Us with the Colosseum way off in the distance!

All of us in the Colosseum! They were supposed to
replace the missing chunk of it before we got there
(probably because they wanted I, Maddie voigt, famous
possum farmer, hula Hooper, professional movie theater ticket
tear-er, gnome loving girl on one of the best shows on TV,
THE FLINTSTONES!!!!!!!! to have the best and most surreal experience
I could ever have, especially because I play a gladiator in SAW 12 and those Romans just
want me to be the best I can be!)

Kennedy and I hanging out on a really old and dirty rock in the Colosseum,
GOOD TIMES!


I was noah's personal Umbrella holder, but I guess Kennedy
saw the opportunity to be in yet another one of my pictures, and
jumped in.

Us in front of the super huge war museum!

riding around on the bus with our awesome possum umbrellas!

Inside the Colosseum

The roman forum, Yet again.

I love this picture, my camera toe-tal-ee went black and
white on me! You can see the Colosseum and the
many (not so fun to trip on) Cobblestones!

Palatine hill! This was Nero's personal entertainment
place because he thought he was to good for the Colosseum! That is what I'd call a snob with a kick butt purple toga!

Personally, I think The Colosseum would make a
great possum farm, once I take over the world, It's at the top of my list
to (in the famous words of the greatest men to ever live, my role model, Larry the cable guy!) "GETTER' DONE!"

Nero's giant castle, he thinks he's so cool because he lives on a hill, oh yeah, I live in the desert
That's ten times better then a hill and a 5 dollar footlong sub!

The oh so classy marble seats in the Colosseum!

The massive war museum.









waiting to get in to the Colosseum!

Me posing on a giant pillar outside of the Colosseum, It was so hot, and the pillar was SOOOO
COLD!

Sitting on a fountain, at night, surrounded by Romans!

Me taking a picture with my amazing camera on a bridge.

War museum!

Me looking beastly at Piazza Navona in my even beastlier butterfly shirt!

Look at me work those cobblestones!

Well as you all can see Rome day 2 was jam packed with old stuff! Well get ready for Rome day three, coming to a blog near you!

ROME DAY UNO!

Hola! and welcome to rome day ONE! After we endured a 8 hour flight from new york, and almost puked up 2 airplane food meals, I was pretty tired, and was in no condition to look at millions of two thousand year old buildings AT ALL! So we decided to save stuff we wanted look at and appreciate the awesomeness of for a day when Everyone wasn't trying to cut each other's heads off! Anyways here are some of my first sights in Rome!


COBBLE STONES! Yup that's right, rome is covered in trillions of
these thousand year old stones! What little troopers!

My first roman "pot hole"

MY very first REAL PIZZA! And i'm telling you, after you've had
the real stuff there's no going back!

My first roman wildlife spotting!


The first roman street sign! Ain't that classy?


My very first gelato! It was chocolate and vanilla,
but apparently romans like to fancily name everything!
The flavor had like 13 letters in it! It's like the word gelato,
trying to be all fancy when all it is is super sugary ice cream with a lower
freezing point!

THE ELEVATOR!!!!!!!!! It was so stinking small!
Probably trying to keep us AMURICANS (yes, I do mean amurican)
from riding in thier elevators!

My first sighting of a fast food place!
However, I never would've imagined it would be Burger king....

He he he roam cops! The one with the machine gun is most definitely my favorite!


the roman airport!


Well, it may appear like Day one was pretty boring, BUT young grasshoppers, looks can be deceiving! It was actually really fun! We went on this tour bus ride all around rome, however, I fell asleep 10 minutes into it because I for one, had been up for 24 hours straight, and two, the tour guide was really boring and to hard to understand in his seemingly Superior Italian accent!
PEACE,EDWELLA,LOVE,AND SMILEYS =D =) =P =l

My daddy and I with our amazing bandannas in the
Phoenix airport

All of us with our awesome possum bandannas (Deanna,
Kennedy, Noah(Deanna's nephew) and my daddy)

us in the airport patiently awaiting the arrival of our
roman plane.

The empire state building! Ain't it purdy?!

the little air conditioned tunnel you walk through to get
to planes!

Well, is that efficent or what.......... you bet your bubble
sheet it is!

this had to be THE BEST part of the whole plane ride....... ASTRONAUT ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once you've had freeze dried ice cream your world is never ever the same.



Well weren't my airplane adventures amazing?????????? It was actually pretty boring, and I now understand why that airplane food joke is sooo funny........ :)

A very lovely saturday!

Wow! Man, for the last couple days i've been like INCREDIBLY BUSY, simply leaving no time for such a pleasurable blogging session. But sadly my fun is over, and now I turn to my blog, so I can brag about how fun my Saturday was! But what made this saturday so fun? You ask. Well this weekend was my good friend Kayleigh's Bat mitzvah!!!!!!! I woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed and then after waiting for my mom and watching half of a cool mermaid movie (not ariel) (just in case your wondering) (I mean seriously, how many mermaid movies are there!!!????? Then picked up my budday (I like saying buddie like that)(it's gonna be my new thang, haha get it instead of thing! Man am I funny!) Bailey and headed over to the temple for the ceremony. And that's when I saw my teachers!!!!!!! Isn't it bad enough we have to see them at school but now they're going to church with us????? Even worse they sat right next to us, so we had to acted well behaved or they would've like, threatened to send us to ISI! (In school intervention) Well, other then that the service was really nice, and very much like Kayleigh, which was really cool because it should be that way, in my opinion. So after the service we all went and ate lunch, which was mostly cookies and fruit for me. And after that me and my budday bailey decided we wanted to go to the mall, with some kids from the service since we had like 5 hours until the after party, or should I say Par-tay! (yeah it goes along with my whole a word thing) While at the mall with many friends, Madi says she needs a gift for kayleigh and so We started thinking and came up with the bestest gift EVER! A BUILD A BEAR! So off we skipped to build a bear where we all built kayleigh a bear! After the mall we went home and got ready for the after party, which was quite some fun! There was a DJ and some cool lights and a bunch of other par-tay items!Here are some pictures of our awesome mall adventure, the service and the after Par-tay!
Abbie And I!
Our shoes, vans VS. converse.
Rayann and tanner, they looked very very bored.

My science teacher, Mr.cupp, was there and I yelled at him because When I tried to
get a picture with him on the last day of school he walked away and I only had pictures with 3 of my four teachers so This is my substitute picture... :(

Bailey with Mr. Cupp and his Fiance

At the T- mobile stand in the mall where Eli asked the guy if he remembered him from 2 weeks ago. We're pretty sure he didn't.

Well as you can see my weekend was pretty dang amazing, and If your the slightest bit jealous, well I don't blame you bacause it was a pretty awesome day! OH NO I JUST REMEMBERED THAT I HAVE TO GO GROOM MY POSSUM BEFORE HE GETS SASSY! Well, I know it won't compare but, how was your weekend??? :)
