iFly

Me and my mom's friend went to indoor skydiving (iFly).

We saw a video before the session and learned what to do. We got dressed up all in the suit, had to wear earplugs, a helmet, and goggles. The first picture is what I looked like in my suit.

There was a big airplane propeller that was hidden under the screened floor so you wouldn't hit it. There was a guy in the booth that was making the air go at a certain speed so that you wouldn't blast all the way to the top. There was also an instructor to make sure your position was right so that you wouldn't get hurt.

The instructor did tricks at the end and the guy in the booth made the speed higher for him than it was for all of us. Flying was really fun. I hope I can go again someday.

Olympics

It was Olympic day at daycamp. We played games, had races, and did relay races. I got this crown for winning the most points of all the kids 10-12 years old.

Do you like it?

Man Camping at Big Trees

My mom and I went camping at Big Trees with the P family and C. On the first day, only me, Mr. P and his son, Plungdog went. We called it Man Camping because it was all men.

We did cool man things:
- Fishing
- Swimming at the river
- Football
- Eating surf and turf
- Messing up the tent
- Had a campfire
- Ate smores

The ladies came the next day. We did more of the same things plus we floated down the currents, told scary stories, and ate yummy food.

I caught a little fish but I had to put it back. Plungdog caught a bigger fish (see picture) that we ate for dinner.

Camp K

In June, I went to Camp K. This camp is for kids who have had a parent with cancer. I've been going since the year my dad died (2007) and this was my 3rd time. I saw some old friends and made new ones. I was away from home for 7 days. I had a lot of fun but my mom missed me.

My Two Big Brothers

Today was the last day of school. Right after school we flew to Los Angeles to see you two big brothers. BoBo had grown so much that I didn't even recognize him.

It was a quick trip. We went to see cousins, played card games, went to the dog park with Sydney, and ate yummy food. Then I had to fly back to go to Camp Kesem. I hope I can see my big brothers again really soon.

I've got eyes in the back of my head

Smack

I won my baseball game by smacked the ball hard.

Now, we are out for pizza and I am driving my mom crazy by smacking my
food.

Mario Cart

Today I went on a field trip. We were on the bus a long, long time. On the way home, I played Mario Cart with friends. Eight of us all had our own Nintendo DS'. Someone "hosted" the Mario Cart game and we all joined in to DS download play. We all got to play against each other. It was cool.

The field trip was fun too but I will write about that another time. I am so tired. My is too.

Tacos El Pastor

Eating at the taco place...

Hot chocolate

We had baseball practice tonight Now, I'm drinking hot chocolate
while I finish my home work. It's delicious.

Here are some pictures of what I've been doing.


Here is picture of the food we ate for lunch yesterday at a cool restaurant that my Mom took me to.


This is my office. I have my Mom's laptop from home, internet access, and a working phone.


I built a Star Wars ship out of Lego's.


The basketball hoop that we used to play HORSE was crooked but we had fun anyway.

Award

Friday night I went to an award dinner for Pop Warner. The award was not for playing football it was for working hard in school. I had a good time there hanging out with my football friends, my Mom, Larry, and other adults. The dinner was good too.

Basketball Practice

Tonight, we had basketball practice. We practiced lay ups, two people on one, and screens. We also did a scrimmage. It was fun.

Baseball

I am in baseball now. It's been very fun. My team is called the A's and we have been practicing for one week. It's been pretty hard also. Some of my teammates are from my old school. One is from my support group. I think that it is going to be a good season and I am going to make a lot of new friends.

I've been busy

I have not blogged in a while. I've been too busy with school, sports, and many other things. That is why I haven't been blogging that much.


This is what I've been doing.

Hard work

Busy, busy, busy

It has been a LONG time since I have written on my blog. I have been very, very, VERY BUSY.



I had a great summer. The biggest thing that happened in my summer was my trip to New York. I went to visit my Aunt, Uncle and my cousins. We went to the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and ate the biggest ice cream scoop I've ever seen. While we were eating the ice scream a lightening bolt struck right outside the building and hit the bike on the back of a parked car. The car wouldn't start afterwards.

We went to the Berkshires where we went inner tubing and swimming at the lake, played games, ate good food, and went in the jacuzzi. We also went to a sushi place. It was soooo yummy. My cousins took me to their friends humongous house. I am not kidding. It had chess pieces that were almost the same size as me. Their friends were really cool We went fishing in their lake and I got tons of bites but I didn't catch anything and it was the first time that I ever when fishing. We also went on their water trampoline. We had to swim all the way out to it. It was really far.

We also visited another one of their friends houses too. His house was also very big and these kids were very cool also. We played hide and go seek. We also ran around in the rain. It was really fun. There was so much that happened in this trip, it is too much to explain. It was great though.

My football started the day after I got back from New York. Football is really fun but very hard. We have to run, do push ups, and we even do the Pilates "plank". It is really hot inside the pads. I get really sweaty and stinky from football and my Mom makes me take a shower every night that I have football. There are a lot of bigger people so it is sometimes scary hitting. So far, I am fine and have not gotten hurt on the field and had to be carried off.

I started my new school and I have a lot of new friends at my new school. It has been really fun being there. We play tag, and eat really yummy food for lunch. I am learning a lot of new stuff that I never knew before like Spanish, music, computers, religion, and a lot of other stuff. We are going to have to wear uniforms for PE too.

I even got invited to a birthday party for one of my new friends. Pretty much everyone in my new class, and some from the other 4th grade class, were there. Well, the boys were. There was no girls except the sister of the birthday boy. We played games in the swimming pool, and played a fun prize game where we were asked a lot of funny questions and got prizes for answering. And we all danced the Cha-Cha-Slide. It was fun.

I'm back home. Safe & Sound.

Fun, Fun, Fun

This summer I have been going to summer school my classes are Hands on science, Journalism, Clay/Sculpture, and Math Applications.

I like all of my classes, but Hand on Science is the best. I like this class the best because we do experiments and we are learning a lot of cool stuff. We learned about Thomas Edison and other famous scientist.

Journalism is cool too. We are writing about news stories and even cartoons. We just finished our newspaper reviews and are now doing cartoons.

Clay/Sculpture is fun. We get to creat stuff with our hands and we use all kinds of stuff like paper mache and other stuff.

In Math Applications, I am learning a lot of new stuff too. I have learned new ways of doing math like multiplication, repeats, division. We even created a blue print for a house and we used area and perimeter to calculate the measurements.

Summer school is almost over. Then my summer is going to get even more fun because I am going to New York to visit Uncle Butthead Joe, Auntie Boogie Jill, Scrabble Dude, Shae-Shae, and their dog Hercules. We are going to have LOTS of fun.

Pizza Party

Today it's pizza night and we're making pizza. All of us had to make
the pizza. Streetblues, Missy Lou, and I made pictures on the pizza.
Streetblues made a flower & a tic-tac-toe board, Missy Lou made a
smiley face, and I made a pepperoni hurricane. It was a very fun
dinner for all of us. Thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Rodger for having us over.
