The Best Christmas Ever!!!

December 24th and 25th 2014: On Christmas eve I was at my moms house celebrating Christmas eve by going to church and opening my presents. When my mom and I went to church they were singing christmas songs and talking about christmas. After the church Dan, my mom, and I went back home to open our presents. One of my presents was lego ninjago set. Then after that I got a really good lego set which was lego minecraft set The end, and my mom surprised me. She surprised me by saying it was echo's bed and it ended being my present. The next morning at my dads house on Christmas day we went to Dunkin Donuts and I got a muffin. When we got to he house there was a huge line of presents from the christmas tree to the door. From the line of presents I got a new desk, new chair, two Percy Jackson books, new PS3 games, gum, lego minecraft set, redstone ore block, lego hero factory sets, gameband, hexbugs, pencils, new PS3 controller, a baseball bat, a new desk and chair, an ender dragon, colored pencils, and a small wooden chest. Then at night we went to aunt Lori and uncle Pete's house to have feast. The feast was meat, soup, pie, and antipasta. After the meal we went home and played video games and went to bed. It was a GREAT Christmas!!!

Outdoor Ed

December 15th-17th: Today I went to Outdoor Ed and when we got off our bus we ate lunch at our lunch tables. After that my cabin and I went to set up our cabin and get ready for stream study which is about catching fish while examining to see what type of fish they where. After a 15-20 minute walk down the mountain we finally found the stream and the teacher started explaining how to catch the fish and how to figure out what fish our fly where in the water. When he finished talking my group caught a Crane fly. Once we finished examining it we put it back where we found it and went back up the mountain to go write the information we had in our journals. After we did that it was dinner time and we had pasta and potatoes but dessert we had bread pudding that was really good. After dinner my group and I went to do tie-dye and I made my shirt blue, green, and purple. Once tie-dye was over we took a night hike which was not really hiking it was just seeing constellations in the stars.  After the nigh hike we went back to our cabin we went to go to a meeting and we just talked about what we did today. Then we went back to our cabin to go to bed at 10 p.m.
     The next morning at 7 a.m I took a shower and brushed my teeth while some people took a shower and everyone brushed there teeth. Then we went to go eat breakfast which was french toast and eggs and was amazing. After breakfast my group and I went to go for predator/prey which was you had four lives and if someone tags you, you have to give up a card to the player who tagged you and you also had to stamp your card if you found a fake berry bush or fake water supply. I was a herbivore and I died because I didn't get two berry bushes and so I died. After predator/prey my group and I went to lunch which was hamburgers and fries and for dessert was a cookie. Later my group and I went to the gym/confidence course where we did a game called you got mail, nuclear reload, frizzy ball toss, and jump ropes. At the end of class Mr. Cratsley told three random students to where blue at dinner time for a gig. After dinner there was a two man band who just sang a bunch of random songs for the students while the three other random people and I where rehearsing the three blue trolls. Then after the gym we went to a place where a man told us about the civil war and showed us a gun fire which was really really cool. At the camp fire we played the gig and two other gigs. After the gigs we had a s'more. After the campfire we had went to the meeting again and after the meeting we went to our cabins. At the cabins we brushed our teeth and went to bed.
    Today was our last day so we packed up all of our items and prepared to go home and our last activity was treasure earth which was really cool because we got to look for boxes on a map that had cool stuff in it. When we got back from treasure earth we had lunch which was a corn dog and corn which was good.  After lunch we got back on the bus to go home.

New York

November 30, 2014: On the way home from Massachusetts my dad and I went to New York. We parked close to the world trade towers. When we got to the world trade towers we saw a big waterfall in a box with names of the people who died there in 9/11. After that we decided to go and find the Statue Of Liberty. Once we found the Statue of Liberty we went on a boat to get there. When we got off the ship we saw the Statue Of Liberty up close and went to the gift-shop to buy a souvenir. After we left the Statue of Liberty we decided to drive to Time Square and my dad and I thought it was really cool. A youtube channel named Hooplaha asked us if we wanted to play Christmas trivia and I won the game while my dad sucked at the questions. Then we decided to go home.

Massachusetts Trip

November 27-29 2014: We left our house at 5 a.m to go to Massachusetts to go see Uncle Joe, Uncle Jim, Gram, Pete, Aunt Lori, and Aunt Midge. When we got at aunt Midge's house I had Thanksgiving dinner which was turkey, mashed potatoes, and veggies. After I ate my food I went outside to play in the snow and built a snowman, then Uncle Joe ambushed me by throwing a hard snowball at me while I was making a snowman. When I went inside I pranked Uncle Joe by smashing a cupcake in his ear! When we left we went to Gram's house and played Yahtzee and I beat them by getting two Yahtzees. The next day Uncle Joe, Uncle Jim, my dad, Pete, and I went to the beach and had a taste test between two pizza places. Then we went to an arcade and we played Fruit Ninja on a big screen and got tickets to buy a toy airplane. After that we went to the beach and I played for about 10 minutes and then we had to go. The next day we went to the beach again but it was only my dad, Pete, and I. When we got on the beach we looked for shells and found some big ones! When we were walking my dad found a sand dollar. After that about 20 minutes later Pete found two more sand dollars. When we were walking back, the water way got higher and we had to go around. When we crossed the water it was really cold. Since the water was so cold after my dad and I got on the other side our shoes were wet while Pete took his shoes off and put them back on when he got to the other side so he was fine. After walking half a mile we finally got to the car and drove home. Later that day it was Aunt Midge's birthday party and she was turning 75 years old. When we ate the food was really good and desert was even better. The next day we headed back home at 7:30 a.m.
