This is a pond that is near our home. It is by a mountain. Those sticks are a beaver dam.



I find that beavers are very interesting. We read a book about a beaver once. It was called The Adventures of Jerry Muskrat and the beaver in it was called cousin Paddy Beaver.

But I have my own story to tell...

Once upon a time there was a beaver called cousin Paddy Beaver. The beaver's cousin was Jerry Muskrat. The beaver was making a dam when his cousin came along to help. The beaver built the dam about 10 feet high, which was touching the top of a bridge. The beaver dam was being built under a bridge. While they were making the dam, somebody was having a picnic at a beach at a river. The river floated into the creek that the dam was on.

The beaver and the muskrat were very tired. They went to bed.

Now it's morning. The muskrat and the beaver went down to the dam and ate sandwiches for breakfast. The sandwiches from the picnic had fallen into the water. The sandwiches had gotten stuck in the dam. The beaver pulled the sandwiches out for breakfast.

The people from the picnic came to look for the sandwiches and they were all eaten up.

The end.

The same day we saw the dam, we had brought a quad in the back of our truck. We unloaded it out of our truck and drove it through this river that I'm throwing a rock into. Up the river there was a corner and that's where we crossed with the quad. It was very fun. I liked it.

Look, there it is...it's school starting! I love it!

Hmmm...what next?

Oh, Explode the Code time.

Math time now.

Alright, let me think.

Oh, memory verse time.

Copywork now.

Grammer time.

Oh, lunch time.

Social studies time. Making maps are fun. I love maps!

Break time for 30 minutes.

Bible flannograph time.

Don't forget science tomorrow.

Read-aloud: Canadian Boys Who Rocked The World.

Oh now, journal time.

The day is over now. School is done for today.

The end.

Last week we went to DVBS. They gave us colouring sheets, question sheets and a new bible. We colour our colouring sheets every day for 20 minutes. My brother and I did a really good job.

Coastguard Lego And More

This is my coastguard helicopter and my coastguard boat. The things that are inside are a winch, the cab (where the guys sit that you can see through the window), the storage area in the very back and room for passengers. By the door is where the stretcher is.

Inside the boat is where tubes and flippers go.

This morning my brother, Kobe, was playing with my helicopter. He said to my mom, "See the happy guy inside? That's me. See the grumpy guy inside? That's Dylan."

My brother, Kobe, has a truck and a trailer for his seadoo to go on. They are coastguards too. The coastguard boat that goes with my helicopter will fit on his trailer. And my brother has a coastguard quad.

I asked my mom to get me the coastguard ship someday.

Mischief

At 8:00 one day, Kobe and I got into icing sugar.

.
We spread it in a pile and then we got our lego trucks wet in an ice cream bucket and drove through the pile with our tires all wet. The icing sugar stuck to our tires and we drove them all over the room in circles.

.

.

When we were done, there were tracks of icing sugar all over the place.

.

.
Mom came downstairs and she was mad. We had to clean it up.

.
We won't be doing that again.

Going to Disneyland and California Adventure

I rode on the roller coaster at California Adventure and then went on Splash Mountain in Disneyland.

We went on Space Mountain, the bobsleds, It's A Small World, the Grizzly River Raft Run, Gadget's Go Coaster, Donald Duck's Ship, the train, the race cars, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Jungle Cruise, Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and Mickey's Fun Wheel. Mom was scared on that one because it swung back and forth, back and forth. We went to Honey, I Shrunk The Audience.

We saw Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, Eeyore, Pooh Bear, Tigger, Lightening McQueen, Mator, Peter Pan and Cinderella.

My favourite ride was the roller coaster. It goes upside-down, fast and tips over on it's side. Dad said it goes 0 - 100 kms/hr in 4 seconds. It pushed me back in my seat. Dad didn't want to go on it, but I talked him into it.

Going Home

We were sick so we left Mexico early. It was not fun to be sick. I got a needle to help me get better faster.

When we were in Mexico we saw circus animals being pulled in trailers behind trucks. We saw zebras, giraffes, tigers and camels. We saw a circus tent.

We wento to Noah's birthday party at Peter Piper Pizza. There were all sorts of games. You could look into binoculars at a show, play air hockey, basketball and bowling. We got tickets for playing the games. You could trade tickets for prizes. I didn't use my tickets and then when we got to Disneyland, I looked and my tickets were washed in the laundry and scumpled up.

At the birthday party we had a pinata.

We saw houses that were made with tar paper. I felt bad for the children that lived there.

We had fun crossing the border. We got to see the Mexican army. They looked in our vehicle to make sure there was no dangerous stuff. The army helps the police. We saw some tanks.

Then we were heading on our way to Disneyland.
