Back to school

Last Wednesday, school started for me! I am in fourth grade.
This year, school starts at 8:00 sharp, instead of 8:15, and ends at
2:30 instead of 2:50 (for fourth graders).
My best friend is in my class, too. Click here to go to his blog.

Trash Cans?!

Have you ever seen a trash can on fire? Well, that's exactly what I saw on The Fourth of July! We were driving home from my cousin's house when my dad mentioned all the fog. Then we passed a smoking trash can. My mom pointed out that it was smoke, not fog. We turned around and my mom got out of the car and started to knock on the neighbors door, because the owners of the trash can were not home. While we were waiting, the trash can started to ignite. That's when my mom and dad drove my brother, sister and I home to go to bed. By that time, my mom had called 911 and reported the flaming can of boiling sludge to The Fire Department of Bath. My mom had not gotten the address of the house, so she drove back and got it. After the Fire Department put out the fire, the neighbors said that they had put out the fire once before. People think someone threw away a firework thinking it was put out completely, but it wasn't.

The fire didn't do much damage because the grass was damp. It only burned a few leaves right above it.

Here is a picture of the trash can (after the fire was out. It would not have been safe).

Have you ever had an unexpected fire happen?

What are your thoughts about fire? (Wild and contained).

Do you even like fire?

Indians vs.Yankees

While my mom and dad were in Chicago for their anniversary, my grandpa took my brother, sister, and I to an Indians baseball game. The Indians were playing the Yankees (Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees).

When we got there, we had lunch (My siblings and I like baseball food better than restaurant food. It tastes way better). My sister and brother got nachos, while I got a sub sandwich called "Cardiac Kid". It consists of nutella, peanut butter, bananas, and honey. It was great!

Somewhere around the second inning, we got cotton candy. For some reason, the cotton candy was half flavored strawberry and half lemon flavored. Then, around the sixth inning, we had Dippin' Dots. They were out of the "rainbow ice" flavor, so, I got chocolate.

The final score was 6-7 Yankees victorious.

The Indians lost.  :(
