That Gold Pyramid house looks pretty awesome. I'm gonna have to get one of those built near my house. Or better yet, maybe I'll build one to live in.

I'd say Chicago is close go Great America, and I love that place! Usually we go there when we go to Great America!

I saw the Blue Man group perform in Chicago and it was really awesome. Hands down the best show I have ever seen in my entire life.

There's some rich people that live in my area and some of them are very crazy. There is this one man that built a bell tower in his side yard for 1.2 million dollars ( it's really huge) and he has a big house. There are gargoyles and what not. I don't think a pyramid house is out of the picture.

I wish I had 1.2 million $$$. I think I would build myself a giant swimming pool, at least 20 feet deep on one end. It would have the worlds steepest slide go into it too! With leftover money, I would buy a tilt-a-whirl! I love those things!
