White Fang

We have been reading a book called White Fang. It's about a wolf and the story of his life. These are the things that White Fang does best: fighting, smelling, hunting, and he's really sensitive.

My favorite part is when he get's mad at his owner's mother for hugging him. I think it's funny.

At first they were calling him the grey cub.  Then some inidans found him and named him White Fang.  The one who named White Fang was named Grey Beaver. 

Here are some of the important things that happened to him: at first the indian named Grey Beaver owned him and was really mean to him.  Then he got sold to another mean guy named Beauty Smith.  Then a guy named Scott bought him and he was really nice to him.  Then he married another dog and had puppies.  

This was one of the funnest books I have ever read so far. 

I went to visit my Grandma and Grandpa.  I went to a lot of fun places with them.  First we went to the dinosaur park.  Then we went to the airplane museum. Then we went to Boondock's.

The Dinosaur Museum was really fun.  The fun thing about it was that it had a playground in the middle with a big fake tree that you could go inside of. 

The fun thing about the airplane museum was that it had a bunch of airplanes hanging from the ceiling and down on the floor. 

My favorite part of Boondocks was lazer tag. 

We also went to the planetarium and saw an IMAX movie about a space satellite named Hubble.  It took lots of pictures of galaxies.  

Mosasaur

A Mosasaur was a reptile, not a dinosaur.  It started out as lizard and was forced to flee into the water and evolved into the Mosasaur.

A Mosasaur is vicious.  He will eat anything in it's way.  Sharks can kill and eat it.  If two Mosasaurs run into each other, they will try to kill each other.  Sometimes they kill things just because they are vicious.

This is how a Mosasaur died. They think there was a 60 foot comet that hit the earth.  It made a giant cloud of dust that blocked the sun entirely.  It wiped out 75% of the dinosaurs.  Half of the food chain was destroyed.  Especially the animals in the ocean.   

Scouts

I have been going to something called Scouts.  I have already wrote about Scout Camp.  This week we had smores  and shot Nerf guns at each other with foam bullets. It was reallyy fun.  The kids that go there are Zach, Broch, Jimmy, TJ S., TJ N., Cooper, Ethan, Andrew, Jacob Feik.  One time we played water balloon volleyball.    

Reptile Exhibit

Today we went to a museum called OMSI.  It is a science museaum. We went to see a reptile exhibit.  

There was a giant exhibit on reptiles.  We had a fun time.  Our cousins Dylan, AJ, Connor, Makayla, and Ethan came with us.  Nana came too.  There was a place where you could pet snakes, lizards, and turtles.  My favorite animal was a turtle that you could pet.   He was seven years-old and he looked like he was 75 years-old.  He was 50 pounds.

Swimming Lessons

I am going to swimming lessons.  My teacher's name is Nancy.  She is really funny.  Today was the last was the last day.  I passed the test and moved on to level three.  I was really excited. 

I learned how to do the back kick and fan.  We used the flippers today.  You go really fast with the flippers.  Today I jumped off the diving board.  That is my favorite thing to do.  I learned how to do a knee dive and a pencil dive. 

My Mom used to work where we go to swimming lessons. 

The Rose Garden

Yesterday I went to a place called the Rose Garden.  My Nana went with us.  The Rose Garden is a place filled with bunches of roses.  It was really fun. 

These are things I thought were interesting about the garden.  There is a big fountain in the middle and arches of roses that you could go through.  There was a sign that said if you picked roses, they could charge you $500.00.  There was a squirrel that tried to get Avery's crackers.  The squirrel was not afraid of us.  It even sniffed my hand.  My favorite kind of roses that I found were stripped.  My favorite garden was the Shakespeare Garden.

perler beads

When I am bored, I play with something called perler beads.  They are these shapes that have little pegs on them and you put  these beads with a hole in them on the pegs.  Then when you are done with the shape, you put a special paper over it and then iron it so it melts the beads together.

Then you can use it as a decoration or something like that.  I made a circle yesterday and today I made a house.  When I am better at it, I'm going to try and make a school bus. 

Mr. Popper's Penguins

I've been reading a book called Mr. Popper's Penguins.  It's about a man who gets a penguin in the mail because he really likes penguins. 



The person who sends him the penguin is named Admiral Drake.  Captain Cook is the first penguin Mr. Popper gets.



My favorite part is when the penguins perform in the theatre.  The penguins names are Greta, Captain Cook, Columbus, Victoria, Nelson, Jenny, Magellan, Adelina, Scott, Isabella, Ferdinand, and Louisa. 



We finished the book last night. 

The Wind in the Willows

I have been reading a book called The Wind in the Willows.  Here are some of my favorite characters.  Mole, Ratty, Toad, Badger, and Otter.  Badger lives in the dark woods.  Ratty lives on the river bank.   Mole lives in his underground hole.  Then mole went to live with Ratty. 


The book is about their adventures. 


Toad is kind of vain.  One time he bought a motor car.  He drove so fast that he had to go to the hospital three times because he kept crashing. 


The book is called the Wind in the Willows because there are lots of willow trees.

Scout Camp

I have been going to a place called scout camp.  It is a place where you do lots of activities. I am in a group called the Armadillos.   Each pack has a different animal name.  I am in pack 511.  My favorite thing we do is bb guns.  My second favorite thing is archery. They are not real bow and arrow but they are still fun.  It goes until Friday.  It is day camp. 

Battleship

Today we played a game called Battleship.  My Mom beat me.  But I had a fun time anyway.  My last ship that she destroyed was my battleship.  My Dad also has the game on his iTouch.  Ella "helped" us a little.  Abby did too.  My favorite part is when I hit a ship. 

Ed Emberley

Ed Emberley is a person who has written lots of drawing books for kids. He can turn triangles and a half-moon into a fish.  Today I drew a cannon, a treasure chest, and a parrot.  This is my third book I have got.  I have already got Ed Emberly's Big Orange Drawing Book, Ed Emberley's Big Purple Drawing Book, and Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Animals.  My favorite thing I've drawn is flying saucers and robots.  I'm hoping to get more Ed Emberly Books after I finish Ed Emberley's Big Purple Drawing Book.

The Adentures of Robin Hood

We are reading a book called Robin Hood. My favorite part is when he meets Little John. I think it's funny that his name is little John because he's really big.  This is the first time I've read it but I know about it.  I watched a movie accept the animals are the characters. Robin Hood is my favorite character. My cousin Abe let me borrow his toy bow and arrows one time when I played Robin Hood. 

Chimes Performance

Yesterday I had my chimes conert. Chimes are bells.  These skinney bells.  There are all different kinds of notes.  Each chime sounds a note.   I played Wiggly Worm Waltz, Wind Chimes, Solo Time, and Old MacDonald. My favorite song was Solo Time. My friend Isaac was also playing. Not my cousin Isaac, but my friend from school.

There were also a few other things at the concert. At little musical, guitar playing, and the older kids playing. What I mean by the older kids is that there are three groups playing. Youngest, middle, and oldest.

Kah-nee-dah!

Kah-nee-dah is a place where you can get a hotel room or take your camper.  We got hotel room 606.  It was really nice and had a balcony. One time Mommy forgot the key in the workout room.  My Dad had to lift me over the balcony and I let them in.  They have a swimming pool that is so warm that you can swim in it when it's raining.  It's heated by underground hot springs from a volcano. 

You can even rent a tee-pee because it's an Indian reservation.

We had an awesome time there.  I slept with Nana and Papa in their triangle shaped camper.

Recital

I went to a recital yesterday.  Avery was the first song of the recital.  I had a fun time there.  I also got a metal for doing my book one book party. I slept with my metal.  When I woke up in the morning I thought I had lost it but it was under my blanket.  I am holding it right now.  It turns around.  I played a song I made up.  I called it The Pine Tree.  I played a song called Short Story with a violin and a cello.

The Secret Garden

One of the other books I've read is called The Secret Garden.  It is about a girl who finds out about a secret garden in her uncle's backyard.  She finds a key buried under a tree and then she finds a door in a wall covered with vines.  A robin she met led her to the key and the door. She goes in and finds a beautiful garden.  My favorite part is when she finds the garden. 

Swiss Family Robinson

I am reading a book called The Swiss Family Robinson. The part I'm at they found this cave in this rock. and they made candles out of a plant. I love it.  It's a very good book.  I thought it was cool that they lived in a tree house. They built a staircase inside of a hollow tree up to their tree house.

Favorite Chapter Book of the Year

My favorite characters in this book are Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.  I think they are funny.  A part that I think is funny is when the boys are going to dig for hidden treasure in what they think is a haunted house. 

"The next day the boys were heading toward the woods when they remembered it way Friday.  It was bad luck to be fooling around with ghosts on a Friday, so they decided to play Robin Hood for the rest of the day."

I think this is a funny thing to believe. 

At the end, Tom is trying to convince Huck to come back and live with the Widow Douglas.  He promises Huck that he can be in Tom's robber gang if he comes back.  Huck says:

"Now that's the life!  Why, it's a million times better than pirating.  I'll stick to the widow till I rot, Tom, and if I git to be a re'lar ribber of a robber, and everybody's talking 'bout it, I reckon she'll be mighty proud of me."

I have an Idea

I have an idea for an invention.  It makes legos buses for people to go to school in.  Inside the buses there are lego ships they give out.  The bus is green and orange.  It smells like oranges.  The controls are also made out of Legos.  That is my idea for an invention.

I am with Bob, our neighbor.  We went to his concert.  He play the drumbs for the Vancouver Pops.  I was picked to play the maraccas and a few other people were too.   They played Jingle Bells.  Thanks for inviting us Bob!

Creepers Crazy Day

Creeper didn’t know when he woke up that morning that he was going to have a crazy day. Creeper was the only orangutan who was the chief of police.


Scooper, his trust police dog was doing something weird this morning. It seemed that he was digging through the fridge trying to find a jar of pickles. I knew it was my job to investigate.

Just in time I caught my chocolate cake. I caught my eggs too, but, unfortunately, with the side of my face. Scooper must be really hungry for breakfast. Investigation closed.

After breakfast, Scooper bounded outside to practice his biggest talent, digging holes. Oh no! Right under the fence again. Luckily Scooper dug right back under the fence. Then a branch fell right on Scooper’s head!

Little did I know the adventure of the back yard had begun. A flying saucer soared overhead. At least, I thought it was until I realized it was my friend monkey’s remote control airplane.

Scooper didn’t know it was just a toy and barked crazily at the alien invasion. Finally, he caught it between his teeth and flung it at his worst enemy Fefe the cat.



Fefe flew straight up with fur straight on end and landed on Scoopy’s back. Scoopy , thinking this was the worst alien invasion ever, caught Fefe’s tail in his teeth.

Tired of the action, Fefe ran for her cat house only to chase by Scooper who managed once again to bite her wounded tail.

“Screech!” The poor cat ran for her life into grumpy Mrs. Grindle’s house. Scoopy was close behind. Desperate to escape the crazy dog, she hid in an open box right in front of her. “Wait a minute,” she thought, “it’s all wet in here.” On went the sprayers! It was a dishwasher. She got a very unusually steam bath.

Happy Birthday to Scouting

I went to the blue and gold dinner because it was the souting birthday.  Scouting is now 100 years old!  I got my wolf badge there.  It was fun.  There was cake at the end of it!  

Me Going to Chuckee Cheese

It was my cousin Abe's birthday.  I had a really fun time.  I got three prizes.  They were a rocket air shooter, and a straw, and a lolly pop.  My Mom fed the lolly pop to Ella.  
I got 123 tickets.  
All my cousins came to the party.   

Me, Riding My Bike

Riding my bike feels fun and awsome.  When I was leaning to ride a two-wheeler, I was a tiny bit scared. I love riding around the block.
