Alec (11):
I have had a great year. There are a few things I did this year: In March we went to the Great Wolf Lodge for spring break. They had an enormous indoor waterpark. There were four large slides. The lar
gest and best waterslide was The Howlin’ Tornado. In the center were smaller waterslides with a giant bucket on the top. The bucket fills up with water and tips over sending water everywhere. There was also a large pool that made large waves. There was a cool game called Magiquest. We had a wand (we still have the wand) that had an electronic device in it. You point the wand at objects and they say something. A book gives you clues of what to do. Emma got a chocolate cupcake because it was close to her birthday. In baseball I was on the Yankees. We were the second-best team. I was on the All-Star team for 9-10 [year olds]. The other 9-10 team won the state championship. We had VBS in June. There were four groups, Mega Watts, Slimy Scientists, Beakers, and Flux Capacitors. I was on the Flux Capacitors. My birthday was on July 3. I got an AT-TE Lego set and a Republic Attack Gunship Lego set. A few days later, we went to Trout Creek Bible Camp for five days. The counselors and CIT’s (counselor in training) have weird nicknames. Zach’s birthday was on July 14. School started in the end of August. We don’t have regular school on Friday though. We have it at a church for home schooled kids. You have three classes. I chose a geography class, a cooking class, and a games class. Zach was in two of my classes. Emma was in one. I also did fall baseball. I’m in 11-12 year old baseball now. Zach did soccer, too. His team did okay, (0 wins, all the rest losses). We went to

For our spring break we went to The Great Wolf Lodge. My favorite ride was “The Howlin’ Tornado. Emma could not go on it. We went to The Great Wolf Lodge with Aunt Pam, Uncle Scott, Dallas and Jessica. There was also a thing with waves. Sometimes the waves are high and sometimes they are lower. The
re is a bucket [that] dumps water. There is a game called Magiquest. It was fun. In the game you have a book and a wand. With the wand you point at pictures and other things. The hardest one was fighting the dragon. In June we had VBS. VBS was fun. My group was called the Mega Watts. This year VBS was called Power Lab. In July we went to camp. My favorite game we played was called Safari. In Safari there are animals with flags. You get a point if you grab a flag. I got one point. My birthday was not long after camp. I got a tie fighter, a Jedi Quest book, a movie called Star Wars the Clone Wars, a clone helmet, a clone blaster, and light saber. My birthday was fun. I started soccer in September. Soccer was fun. We did not win any games because there were not that many people on my team. We had Friday school after that. Friday school is a thing where you chose three classes. Like games is a name of a class. In the games class you play board games. Friday school was fun. For Thanksgiving we went to our grandparents’ house. We had fun. Jessica and Dallas were also there.

I had fun this year. It was fun going to The Great Wolf Lodge. I especially liked Magiquest. Friday school was really fun! I’m glad I did the ballet class. It was fun going to grandma and grandpa Goddard’s house for Thanksgiving. I’m glad Jessica and Dallas were there. I can’t wait till Christmas. I wonder what adventures will be waiting then….
