The last post of the summer

This is the last post of the summer. I'd like to thank Karen and grandma and grandpa for reading it this summer. Today we went to Cuttyhunk on the boat. Cuttyhunk is an island not many people live there. It was a very nice day to go out on the boat. Tomorrow we are going to Boston to see Grandma and Grandpa. After we got home from the boat we were going to watch Stargate Atlantis but there was no new one:(. I am excited about going into fifth grade. This the first year that we have lockers. We also went to the dump this morning. It was very very very boring. We also went to the farm and saw peanut the turtle.

Day 65

This morning I watched Mythbusters. Today they tested the fastest ways to cool a six-pack of beer. The fastest way is to put the beer in a cooler and spray a CO2 fire extinguisher in it for 3 minutes. The fastest ordinary way to cool a beer is to put it in a cooler with ice and salt. For lunch today we went to Friendly's. Forget lunch! For dessert I had one scoop of Chocolate Brownie Cookie Crunch and one scoop of Cake Batter ice cream topped with hot fudge. I also went to the library. I found out they had graphic novels!!! I the first five volumes of One Pieces. It is about a boy who want to be a pirate. It is very interesting. Now Mom doesn't have to spend so much money in graphic novels.

Day 62 - 64

2 days ago we went to the Independance mall. We got some more school clothes. Esther also got a build-a-bear. It is a zebra. She got some clothes for the Zebra to. She named it striper. I went to game stop and got the games Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow. It is about a man that has to kill bad guys. I also got Nanostray 2 to it is like the arcade game were you control the ship and shoot the badguys. Yesterday I went to the grocery store. I we got a lot of stuff. Then Jarrett came over. He slept over. We played a lot of DS. We played GRID and Nanostray 2 in download play. Esther played with us. The next day I we went to the beach. Esther was being really mean to us. We were using the boogie board once and it was my turn to ride it and she won't give me a turn!! I had a lot of fun. We are going to go to karate today. It is the last summer fun day. Today is pretzel day. I get pretzels after class. We also do games with the pretzels.

Day 60 and 61

Yesterday I went to my friend Cooper's house. We played Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. In the game you try to kill the other player(s). Cooper won every time. For almost the rest of the day I played GRID. I made a lot of progress in the U.S.A. Today I went to Aaron's and Adam's house. Their mom is my mom's friend. We went swimming in their pool. They have a really nice pool. We went swimming for 2 and a half hours. We went to the Conservatory where I was supposed to have a french horn lesson. It was cancelled though, so we went to the supermarket and bought bell peppers, orange juice, and gum; then, we went home. The lesson is going to be next week (unless it is cancelled again).

Day 58 &59

Yesterday was my last day of camp. Luckily I didn't have to do kickball again today. I did Capture the Flag though. Connor, my friend, made me a friendship bracelet. I love the colors. The color are green,red, and blue. Today Dad and I went to see Longshots. It is about a girl that is really good at football. Her dad ran away. It is sort of a sad movie. It is really good though. For lunch Dad and I went to Jimmy's BLT(breakfast, lunch, Takeout). I would of rated it 6 out of 10. There is a car show going on today and tomorrow. Dad and I might go tomorrow.

Day 54-57

I had camp Farley until Thursday. On Thursday I went to the open house at Morse pond school. I met my teacher and my team teacher. My team teacher teaches math and social studies. I also had lunch with Dad and Mom at Red Robin. I had the Banzai burger with a Boca Pattie. The Banzai Burger has teriyaki sauce, pineapple, mayonnaise, lettuce and, tomato. While I wait for the next Naruto to come out I am reading Toto. Toto is about a boy who wants to go on an adventure, so he sneaks aboard a ship. On that ship were gangsters and a dog that can turn into a monster. My crocs broke so we went to Olympia sports to get some new ones. They are blue and have the red sox symbol on them. I picked another elective on Wednesday. I picked kickball. I HATE it. The counselors aren't even paying attention. They serve a pretty good lunches. They almost never serve soup without meat though. I was watching Tae Kwon do this morning. The United States won bronze in the 57 KG woman. China won gold in the 67 KG mens. Tae Kwon do is fun to watch.

Day 53

Today I went to camp Farley. It was fun. I did archery. I good at it. I have a friend who has done it a lot and I am just as good as him and this is my first time. I also went swimming. One of my favorite things that I did was fort building. I teamed up with Jake and we passed all the tests (but so did everyone). Ours was the biggest. People kept taking our sticks so we barely had enough.

Day 52

Today we invited Jack and his dad out on the boat with us. Jack's dad caught a black bass. If it was one inch bigger we could of kept it. We also went tubing. I went off the wake. Then when I got close to the wake I would hang 10. It was fun. We also went to Basset's island. Dad caught a huge blue crab. The body was about nine inches. On the way home it was bumpy. Jack told my dad to go fast. We got to at least 30 miles per hour. Our boat can get up to 40 mile per hour. When we got back Mom took Esther, Jack, and I home. Jack's dad and my dad stayed to clean up the boat.

Day 51

Today I went to the beach. The beach we went to was called Old Silver. It is usually full by 10, we got there at 9 and we were the only ones there. We went swimming for two and a half hours. Then I had my friend Jarrett over. We had fun. Our neighbor Jack invited us over to swim while Jarrett was here. Jarrett and I played on there Heineken rubber raft. Jack and Esther tried to get it from us. Then Jarrett and Jack and I had a jumping contest. I won on most original. I jumped off the dock then pushed off the rubber raft into the water.

My 100th post!!

I have written 100 posts so far!! I showed Keighl my gecko today. Yes! I beat him at basketball again. We went to Petco. We got some more crickets for Spot. We also took Esther to her art class. She has a lot of fun and I have time away from Esther. Next week we are going to Camp Farley. I hope I am doing archery. I have always wanted to do archery. I have watched it in the Olympics. I also want to do outdoor living. I like watching Survivor Man on TV and I want to learn how to build a shelter. My mom was just talking to her belly (how weird).

Day 49

Today I went to the beach. I went swimming. Our friend Jack was there. Esther and I had ice cream from the ice cream truck. I had the worlds sourest snow cone. It was extra sour sour apple. Esther had cherry explosion sorbet. I was really windy. The are was really cold so I stayed in the water. I played splash tag with Esther and Jack. Then we moved on to ball tag. Grandma and grandpa left today. Dad was already at work when they left though. I miss grandma and grandpa. Luckily they will be staying in Boston for the next few months:)!!

Day 48

I got my gecko!!!! I had special names picked out depending on whether it was a boy or a girl, but I found out when I got it that you can't tell the sex until they're older. So I named it Spot. I've started to bond with it, but it still won't let me pick it up. Grandma and Grandpa are here. We went to the Chart Room for dinner. I had broccoli n' cream soup and grilled cheese with tomato. The soup was really good. I saw my teachers from 3rd and 4th grade there. It was Mrs. Karson's 40th birthday. Grandpa unloaded some of my dad's old stuff and I got his old puzzle ball and his fencing mask (he is going to teach me how to fence in the winter:).

Day 47

I didn't stay the whole night at Gibson's house:(. They weren't going to go to sleep and I was tired. I did have fun at party though! I lost one of my games at the party, Gibson's Mom said they were going to clean up tomorrow and they would find it. Gibson just called and said he found it so I could come and pick it up. I asked if they went to sleep at all. He said " we went to sleep at 4:00 AM." I had been saving up for a gecko and I finally have enough money for the gecko. I'm going to clean out the fish tank and use it for my gecko. It is probably just dusty so I could probably get him tomorrow:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 46

Today we went out on the boat. We went tubing. Mom has the speed record at 20 MPH. Esther and I both tied her. It was really flat so we could go really fast on the tube. We could stay on a lot longer to. There is this show my dad and I watch called Stargate Atlantis. My favorite episode so far this season is the one were Ronan gets captured. My favorite character is Ronan because he is a Warrior. I can't wait to go to Gibson's party(review day 45). Finally a night away from Esther. I'm going to go swimming at Gibson's party also.

Day 45

Yesterday Gibson and I went to the 99 Restaurant with Mom and Esther. Gibson and I had toasted ravioli. I finished it all. Gibson ate all but three ravioli. We sang Pocketful of Sunshine,while we waited for our food. Strangely, no one looked at us weirdly. Saturday, he is having his birthday party. I got him a card that makes sounds when you open it. On the front it says "How does 50 bucks for your birthday sound?" Then when you open it, it bucks like a chicken 50 times. I am also going to get him a present but I don't know what to get him. Dad might get me the next Naruto volumes (number 30-31). In the last volume I read, Naruto is outside the Atsuki's hideout. Inside Naruto, there is the nine-tailed fox spirit. The Atsuki want to take the spirit and use it for themselves. They are trying to rescue Gaara (he has the one-tailed spirit inside him). There were all the spirits (one through nine) but now only these two are left (that we know about).

Day 44

Today I played LIFE with Mom. She won. She had $ 1,600,000. I only had $ 1,330,000:(. I kicked her butt two days ago in LIFE: Twist and Turns. LIFE: Twist and Turns is a modern version of LIFE. There is a Life pod (kind of like a calculator) that keeps track of all your money and Life points. Life Points are like Life tiles in LIFE. I'm bringing Gibson to Bring-a-Buddy day but he isn't sleeping over. We are having dinner out somewhere. We will probably go to the 99 Restaurant. Gibson and I are vegetarians. I have been a vegetarian for about 6 months now. Gibson has been a vegetarian for his whole life. His Mom is vegan so he was raised as a vegetarian. Did you know more than 25% of the world is vegetarian?

Day 43

Today I had my friend Gibson over. We went to the park. There is a library at the park. Gibson didn't want to go into the library. I might have Gibson over for a sleepover tomorrow. Tomorrow at karate it is Bring a Buddy day. I am going to bring Gibson to karate, then he might sleep over!!!!!!!! Tonight for dinner we are having meatball subs. I am having veggie meatballs. My dad isn't happy because some builder guys are putting stakes on our property. They are building the bike path. It is going to go behind our house.

Day 42

Today was my first full day at home. It was pretty dull. I watched a lot of TV. We did have to do some grocery shopping. We went to the Grand Union. It was having some work done on the outside; it could use some improvements. We saw Eileen there. Eileen is our baby sitter. She was taking care of Gooey while we were in CA. I had a french horn lesson. I know half a scale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's really fun to play the french horn. A lot of people will tell you the french horn is really hard, but it isn't, it's fun. I love to play the french horn. That is all I did today(that and write my blog). Pretty boring huh?

Day 41

Today I was on an airplane (and at the airport). Our plane was delayed because the plane we were supposed to go on had something wrong with the engine. Then (to make it worse) the pilot said the engine wouldn't be fixed for eight to ten hours!!!! Luckily they had a plane coming in from New York and we would get on that plane:). But the people that were supposed to get on that plane couldn't because we were getting on it. That's their problem though! I played Nintendo DS most of the way. The game I played was Bionicle Heros. In the game you are a Bionicle and you have to kill the Piraka(the bad guys). It's FUN.

Day 36-40

On Sunday I went to watch Indiana Jones : the kingdom of the crystal skull. It was good but I didn't like how there was aliens in it. Then we packed up for Yosemite. On Monday we drove to Yosemite. It was pretty boring. We got in trouble for being to loud:(. Tuesday we were very tired because there were some drunk college kids next to are tent partying all night. That morning we woke up at six to go horse back riding. I hated it but, my sister loved it. My horse was named Moose, Esther's was named Peco, Mom rode Poco, and My dad rode on Prusila. My horse was slow. Then we moved into another lodge called Curry Village. I had the best sleep in a while. The next day we took a bus up to Glacier Point and hiked down. I loved it and my sister hated it. Wednesday we walked to lower Yosemite falls. It was amazing. Esther got a little souvenir raccoon. I didn't get anything at Yosemite. Then we drove to Sequoya. That was boring also. In Sequoya we slept in hotel. The next day we saw the tree that has the largest volume in the world. It's called General Sherman. Then we walked up 399 steps to Moro rock. You can alot at the top. The last thing we did was drive under a red wood tree. It was cool. Then we drove to Livermore. That was boring too. Today I went flying with grandpa and Uncle Rob in his plane and had breakfast at Two-niner diner. I had Cinnamon french toast it was good. Then we went over the Golden Gate bridge. I loved it.
