Microscope

    We recently got a microscope and I love it. My favorite thing to look is this tiny bug called a Peach Worm. I also like looking at dog stomach :)  We just failed today on trying to get some spit and look at it.

Bluffton

    Yesterday, we went to Bluffton and walked around town. First, we went to help with Backpack Buddies. This organization helps kids that have no food. We get boxes and fill them up with food. Then someone takes them to the schools and gives them to the kids that have no food. After that we went to a place called Preston's Pottery and looked at his pottery. Then we ate lunch at the park. After that we went to The Cross Church. This church is over 100 years old. Lastly, we went to the farmers market. I got really good candied pecans.

Old Yeller

    We just finished reading a book called Old Yeller in school. The book was about a boy who lives on a farm and his dad is leaving to sell some cattle. The boy, Travis, has to fend for his family while his dad is gone. While his dad is gone, something comes every night and steals meat that they hang in their dog run. Travis finally stays in the dog run one night and catches the thief, a big, yellow dog. Travis is furious but, his brother Arliss will not let him hurt the dog. And Mother insists on letting him keep the old, beaten up, yellow dog. In a few months a plauge of Hydrophobia comes and starts killing their cattle. Travis and Old Yeller must figure out how to protect the family.

Pre-Algebra

 
      I am starting Pre-Algebra in a couple of weeks and I am not happy about it :(  I really don't like math and I really, really don't like algebra.

Shooting my Shotgun

   
       Two weekends ago I went to our hunting club and shot my shotgun. I have a Mossberg 510 mini 20 gauge shotgun. It can kill birds, dove, turkey, even deer if you have a slug in your shell. It is the best  gun in the world :) In March or April a am going to do a youth turkey hunt! I am super excited! I am okay at shooting clay pigeons but, I know I am going to get some dove next dove season.

Deer Season Has Started!

      I am so excited that Deer season has finally rolled in. My dad and I have gone three times so far but, have killed nothing. I really want to kill some does so we don't have to buy meat for a while. I have never been hunting with my dad and actually killed a deer. I really want to kill a deer with him this season.

My Birthday Party!

          My birthday is party is today! We are going to go camping at Hunting Island in the RV. My dad bought an app on his phone called Geocatching, it's where people hide stuff around the country and you have to find them using a map. We are going to do that and maybe go on the beach and in the woods. We are going to cook hot dogs and smores on the fire and stay up late. I'm really excited.
