last Thursday and Friday my family and some friends went to the "Operation Christmas Child" warehouse. There we checked that all the boxes were OK to be shipped, then we loaded them in to bigger boxes and sent them on their way!

Water Park Resort

Yesterday I went to a small indoor water park with my friend Luke. His parents where going to a confrence at the resort so Luke and I go to hang out at the water park. It was pretty cool.

Today I did more FLL stuff. We went to the local nursing home and took some games along. When we arrived there were already some residents waiting for us. Four people from our group went to the nursing home, one of us (my friend Nicholas) went and played checkers with one of the residents, while the rest of us played sorry with a few other residents. It was really cool how much the residents opened up and started talking! The residents were really getting in to the games. The lady playing checkers with Nicholas had a "less than clean mouth". And one of the ladies playing sorry with us had no fear of cheating! if she did not like the card she drew she would just draw another one!
It was a really fun experience.

Today I smashed walnuts.

Earlier this summer we picked up a bunch of walnuts from our yard and took them to the basement. They sat in our basement for a few months and dried. Than I took a hammer to them and smashed out all of the meat.                              WHAT FUN!!!!!!!

I am not even touching the ground!

Homeschool Play

Over the last few weeks I have been participating in the homeschool  4th - 9th grade play. The play that was done was "My Fathers Dragon". The play is about a boy named Elmer Elevator who finds an old alley cat out in the rain, they start to talk and get to the topic of flying. Elmer says he would do anything to fly and the cat suggests a way that he could fly when he is still young. The cat used to go exploring and happened upon an island called " Wild Island " a dragon is being held captive there and the cat says that if Elmer were to rescue him the dragon would fly him most any where. So Elmer goes to "Wild Island". He meets a bunch of wild animals but in the end he saves the dragon.
