I Love My Pool

My pool is the greatest thing in the universe aside from jelly beans, cats, and pop tarts.

I think the reason is because the beach is a lot like my pool because the heater is broken, so I am used to and like cold water temperatures. Also jumping in into the pool is super fun.

Most of my friends own pools, but heated or not, my pool will always be my favorite pool.

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.  :(

Mid-Century Modern

On the weekend, my mom, my dad, my sister, my brother, and I went to my mom's friend's new house! We had chicken cheese enchiladas that were really good. 
Here is a picture of their front yard, which is actually on the side of the house:

As I remember, the broken heat lamp was hit in a storm, the huge blank wall served as a movie screen, which we watched Thor with. On the chairs, the back are skim boards.

After lunch, we went to the beach, where the water was actually warm! I made an unbeatable fort of sand, but the water destroyed it! My brother's fort was not squashed because he made farther from the ocean.

As we watched the movie, my mom, my mom's friend, and my mom's husband sat in those far chairs in the right corner, my dad, however, watched the movie. 

Farmer's Market Jamboree!

April 10 was all about 

Candy and Health 

             My mom is sort of in charge of The Farmer's Market, so right after                    school, I had to go down to the middle yard to help my mom. The Farmer's Market Jamboree was start at 11:00 and it ended at 2:00.



Activities:

When I got out of school, my mom handed me five dollars. I bought a bottle of kale-lemonade from Juice Karma for five dollars. So much for that. After that, I played around in the kindergarten yard with my friends. We played tag.
