Camp Addlington and More

9 days left until Canada!

After hockey on Saturday we went to Ryan and Claudine's house. We swam in the pool, and I had lots of fun tipping Alia, Ben and Lukas off of the floating chairs. We had pasta and cake for dinner and then went in the pool again. This time everyone was trying to catch me. We watched Yogi Bear before going to bed. In the morning we woke up and made pancakes and bacon for breakfast. After eating we watched Animal Planet because it was too early to lave for our hockey game. When we finally did leave we got there half an hour early.

In the changing room I stole Chase's sock tape (tape that keeps hockey socks from falling off). I was put on the dark team, and Alia was the only goalie, so she played against the tire again. First off Coach Pat put me in at center and I have never played center before. It was not pretty, I lost the faceoffs and I was confused. He finally put me back at right wing and then I was ok. We didn't win, but we had some great plays. I felt bad for Alia because she compared herself to the tire and felt like she couldn't do anything.

We had stage coach after, so I bought her some gummy bears. We had a lot of tours and I talked with the older docents a lot. Tomorrow we have a luncheon there and I am getting my five year pin.

Since I wrote last I have finished Peeps and its sequel The Last Days. I like the first book better, the second one wasn't as good. I also read Touching Spirit Bear and its sequel Ghost of Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelson. They were both really good. Now I am reading Brandon Mull's most recent book The Beyonders: A World Without Heroes.

This summer I have also built a robot out of Lego. His name is ET (Electronic Terrestrial) and he dances when I play music. I will try to get some pictures of him dancing :)

Hi everyone I'm back!

11 more days until we leave for Canada!

So far this summer has been mostly hanging around and going to hockey practice. Yesterday we went to the beach for a change. The water here is freezing compared to what it was in Spain. We saw some dolphins just beyond the surf, and Alia and her friend Jackson found some sand crabs.

Today we have hockey, we will probably leave in 15 min. After that we are going to Ryan and Claudine's house for the night. I've never spent the night there, but my siblings have while I was in NYC.

I have been reading and drawing a lot, I might put some pictures of the drawings up later. This summer I have read two Temperance Brennan books, a book called Don't You Dare Read This Mrs. Dunphrey by Margret Peterson Haddix, Beastly by Alex Flinn, The Chaos by Rachel Ward, and I am currently reading Peeps by Scot Westerfeild. I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but I am trying to pace myself so that I have stuff to read all summer. Besides all the books except the Tempe Brennan ones have been read since this Thursday when I went to the library... It's Saturday now...I will make sure to keep you all updated with what I am reading this summer.

I have to go to hockey practice now, but I will try to write tomorrow about our adventures at camp Addlington!
