Training Day By Abigail Rohde
10/16/14 We were outside with George and Nana. Nana gave me some dog treats. We were going to try to teach George to sit! We finally got him to sit but then Julia started to run. I did not notice that she had dog treats till George was dragging me along the field. I could not get him to stop so I started to run and he ran faster and so did I. We ran till we were a foot away from her then we gained speed and got to Julia! Then George jumped on Julia and bit her right on the index finger and George never did that again. As far as I know! |
Bees!
By Ben Walsworth-Purkiss 10/16/14 I was leaning against a tree. I was outside, watching my dad pruning and cutting. RRRR and ZZZZ were the noises the chainsaw made. In fact, loud chainsaw noise and branches thwacking against the ground were seemingly the only things I could hear in the brown and green world. It felt normal. It felt too normal… Suddenly, something was happening! My dad was yelling, “Bees! Run to the house!” It took me a moment to grasp what was happening. The world seemed to change from brown and green to gray. Worse, as my heart banged, I could see a cloud of bees chasing and stinging my dad! And, oddly enough, he was telling me to run from bees, which I was always told not to do. After a few seconds of confusion, though, I just started running with him. All of this took me completely by surprise. It seemed as if the bees just showed up out of nowhere! While I was running, I noticed a bee flying next to me. I ignored it. We finally got to the hose, and my dad was spraying it everywhere, but I didn’t feel wet. I couldn’t. I was still trying to figure out what had just happened. I asked my dad what he was doing with the hose. He said that bees hate water, and he was shooing them. He thought he saw a sting near my eye, so I told him I saw a bee next to me, and maybe it stung me and I had a sting the whole time (and by the whole time I mean the last fifteen seconds)! I knew from then on, I would be careful around bees. And that’s the story of how my dad and I were stung by bees! |
The time I Went on Shivering Timbers
By Mackenzie 10/16/14 I was at Michigan's Adventure, I was getting measured to go on shivering timbers! We got into the second car. I told my Uncle Conrad, “I'm so excited”! Finally, someone came over the loudspeaker. That someone said, "Hello, you are on shivering timbers hope you enjoy our day.” That;s when the ride started! It started slow, then it started to go super fast. We rounded two bends and I thought we would fall off! Then we hit some big bumps. We rounded a bend and got onto some huge hills. Then we started to slow down, I was sad that the ride was over. When we got off my legs felt like squishy Jell-o. Once we got off and out of the crowd I said, ”Let's do it again!" So we did. |
The Swing Set
by Hannah Rose Fritts 10/16/14 Once my dad, uncle Kerry, and my grandpa built a swing set. My dad and dad’s girlfriend bought it for me and my baby sister Kelsey for Easter. It is huge. I helped them tighten stuff, it was fun. My Uncle Kerry and my cousin Tyler and my uncle Kerry’s wife Alina had to spend the night at my house so they could help and finish the very next day. It only took them two days to finish it. The first day they did the monkey bars and the whole entire bottom. The second day they woke up really, really early and they started to do the clubhouse and the surfboard kind of looking swing and the two original swings. They did the roof last because it was the easiest piece of all of the swing set. And then I felt shaky for a minute and I leaned over to my cousin and I said, “I am excited.” Then he said, “I am too,” he was shaking like me. He grabbed on to me and I was thinking in my head, "I think he is excited a lot!" If you ask me he is shaking so much he made me shake more. Then my dad asked me and Tyler why we were so shaky. “Why are you guys so shaky?“ he said. Then me and Tyler said together, “We want to play on it, that's why.” Then he said “Ooh that;s why “. And then when they were done me and Tyler got to play before they left. |
The Library
by Zarek Mazur 10/16/14 One morning up north me and my family were talking about going to the library. “Do you want to borrow a movie?” asked Mom. “I guess,” I said with laziness. Soon it was lunch and I chose to go to the library and we did. Dad said we should ride our bike. Before we left Dad pumped Moms bicycle because the wheel was flat. “This is going to be fun!” said my annoying sister Zosia. After that we were off! It took us 5 hours to get there. Finally we were there and there was a playground! I was so excited I rushed over there. “We're there,” Mom said. “Finally,” said Mitch. There were about six cars there. When we got inside I was surprised! A little while later we signed out and went home and watched a movie. |
The Fourth Of July
by Michael Bryant 10/16/14 One perfect Fourth of July night I was in my bedroom doing absolutely nothing, when suddenly my door creeped open. It was my father who asked if I would like to come with him. I said "of course.” So I raced down to the car and hopped into the back seat, and we were off to the firework shop! When we got there I saw a big white tent with lots of people under it. I asked my father if the firework shop was in the tent. He said, "It sure is!!!" We parked the car and walked over to the tent, they had so many fireworks it was incredible!!! They had different shapes and sizes. They even had a set of fireworks that had every color in the rainbow on them. My dad and I got lots of fireworks. I couldn't wait!!! When we got back home, my mom was making s'mores. They looked delicious. My mom called for my sister’s they said, coming and they burst down the stairs and into the kitchen then we ate the smores one after another until they were all gone. Now it was time for the fireworks!!! Yay I said so everybody went into the backyard as the first firework went off my heart was as happy as ever!!! My sisters and I ran around the backyard and cot fireflies it was the best night ever!!! |
Going to a Toy Store
By Adrianna Sweet 10/16/14 One morning I wanted to go to Toys R Us. I asked my mom so I said, "Can we go to Toys R Us?" I asked. My mom smiled and we got into the car. I was excited to pick out a brand-new stuffed animal. When we got there I ran all the way to the toys. I looked all around the huge toy store. I did not know where to look first when my mom finally caught up with me. I saw Monster High. They did not have any I liked, I could not decide what to choose. I saw a bunch of toys. It was so hard to choose. After a while of looking around I spotted the best, most perfect stuffed animal ever! It was a panda. He was so soft and fluffy and he smelled like candy. I chose the best one. Then I paid the lady behind the counter and bought my stuffed animal. When I got home I told my dad what I got. He liked my panda a lot. I played with him all day. When it was time for dinner I sat him down at the table. My dad said, "Stuffed animals do not belong at the table." I said, "Ok," and put him down next to me. After dinner we went to bed. I put a tie on him it was a red one. He looked good. "He is the best stuffed animal ever," I said. That night I slept with my hand on my panda’s black paw. Seeing a Firework Show
by Truman Johnson 10/16014 It was Wednesday and I was at my grandparent's house. We were going to see fireworks that night!” Later that night we drove to the firework show. It was so packed we had to park the car at a train station and walk there! We walked about half of a mile. When we got there we saw lots of safety vehicles. We waited about half an hour on the beach. It got darker and darker every minute. While the half an hour passed my Dad and me took a walk around the beach, as we watched the platform (that the fireworks would be launched off of). And the boats that were waiting for the fireworks to come. It was getting darker now every minute. After we took a walk, we walked back to where my Grandma, Grandpa, and Mom were sitting. Next, we were asked to sing to the Star Spangled Banner. Then, they came! "Pop!” Pop!” Pop!” Red, Green, Blue, Pink, Gold all over the sky! About 1,000 fireworks blasted over the lake over about half an hour. Then it was time to go home. We walked back to the car. It was a cool night. I will never forget the time I got to watch fireworks on the beach. |
Sleeping Bear Dunes
By Nicolina.L 10/16/14 We arrived at Sleeping Bear Dunes. It looks like the biggest dune ever. Then I said, “What are we waiting for? We have a dune to climb.” Now we are climbing. “I will beat you,” I heard from all the voices on the dunes. We were all at the top. Let's go on the count of three, lets race. "1, 2, 3," and were of like speed racers. I paused and tricked them and didn't go down. Then I went down and I heard a THUMP and I hit a big-half showed stone. “OW,” I said and got up. I stretched. "I’m okay" and climbed up again. “Yay, I’m at the top again.” "I’m going down," but then I remembered my fall. oh, no, but who cares. I went running down instantly. “Hi,” I said to my brother. He couldn't hear me since I went speedy quick next to him. And then I reached the bottom without falling. “YAY,” I said. It was the best dune for climbing EVER. The Trip
by Harry Richter 10/16/14 When we went to a stage, someone said to go to a cabin. It was Monday morning. I was with my cousins. We were going to our cabins. I bet it’s fishing or camping or maybe painting. Great, that’s an awesome idea. Yay. If it is, I will love it. Then we reach the cabin. Wow, the cabin is huge. We hear some kids start talking around the camp's biggest pine tree. I yell, "go away," and they yell back, "we came here, sorry." The door opened. "Are you ready for your lessons?" "Yes, I say" with a cheer. So, we walk in there. There are tons of art . Come this way. We sit down on stools. We're going to draw deer. What kind? White tail deer, the most pleasant thing of all. Yay. Well, do you have any tips? Yes, draw the head first, then the legs. She gives us blue paint. "Thank you," I say with a cheer. Okay. What's your name?I'm Harry and these are my cousins Fred and that's Charlie. Okay, I get it now. I want you to know your classmates. Wow, there are a lot of kids in our classroom. Yay, there are 20 kids in the class, but I think I'm going to like you the most. |
