We were at the beach this summer. I found lots of seashells. I found a humongous one and if you look at it one way it looks like a skeletan. The waves were humongous so I lost some shells, but we have a whole entire jar in our frog bathroom. The big one is on a shelf by a fake frog.
We went to see whales at the beach. We took a boat and we almost left South America.
This a pool, only I wasn't able to touch, so I had to float. I could touch on one end, but I didn't want to.
This is Janette, my friend, who is working at the seminary for 4 weeks this summer. She is really nice. (Good thing I'm not her brother, then she might not be as nice to me!) I'll miss her when she leaves next week.
Landon attended soccer camp last week . . . 3 1/2 hours each day for 5 days straight. Here he's learning the proper way to "head" a ball.
Although Landon didn't make this particular shot, he made several other shots this week at camp.
I'm at field day at my school. I got first place in the hippity hop. The ball I'm on reminds me of Chicken Little's head because it's big. I had to wear a dumb nametag.
This is my class. I'm in the middle even though I should of been in the front row.
I got an award at school, called the Kayberry Medal, for writing my own story. As you read my postings, look for the story called "Ben and the Dodgeball Tournement." This is the story that won the award. Happy Reading!
Some dancers picked me to be a part of the dance circle. I didn't really understand everything, but there was a man dressed as a bull who charged us while we were going around in the circle. In this picture he charges the woman on my right. There were also these men dressed like hunters, so I know it was about hunters chasing a bull. My sister is right across from me in the circle.
A long time ago the indigenous people used blow guns to hunt and kill animals. They also used them to kill enemies. The blowgun in the picture is the longest one I've seen. It's huge! If you ever go to this museum, you'll see it's about 4 times the size of what you see in the picture.
Our team won the league championship game. I helped by throwing a runner out at first when I was the pitcher. My coach said that I was the most enthusiastic cheer-er for the team and that I improved a lot in all areas of batting, throwing and catching.
Landon played baseball this year for the first time in a long time. He really improved a lot. Of course, being the team comedian is where he really excels!
This league is machine-pitch which means that when you play pitcher, you're fielding the ball. Also, the other children stop the play by throwing it back to the pitcher. So even though you're not actually pitching, it's a very busy and fun position to play.
I'm just hanging around my old swingset. All of a sudden, my mom took my picture. Moms!
Landon's 3rd grade class put on a skit in chapel at school. The skit was about being brave. Landon had the main part, and Dad says he was very funny.
