Camping with My Dad

My Daddy and I went camping. Just us boys. We drove and drove and drove and then we found the place we were going to camp. First things first, I had to unpack. Then, Daddy and I put up the tent. It was the biggest tent! It even has a closet that I put my shoes in!
Daddy and I made a fire and sat on our chairs. I'm borrowing my mommy's chair-She didn't mind.
Then, we were getting ready to cook our hot dogs on the fire. Daddy's hot dog broke and fell into the fire! It was so silly.
This is what our campsite looked in the morning after we got all cleaned up. We had a good time. We want to go back there some other time. We may even see if Mommy wants to go.

Flash Jacob

I love Flash Gordon. He's the fastest man in the history of the world. But, I'm not a very fast runner. After seeing that the fastest boy in my class at school had Sketchers, I decided that I needed some too. I told my Grandma Lou that I needed Sketchers so I could be fast like Flash Gordon. Guess what...she sent me some in the mail!
I love my new Sketchers! I can run super fast! They also light up. They're AWESOME!
Aren't they the coolest thing in the history of the world?

Jack-O-Lanterns

Daddy and me carved pumpkins! Daddy had the biggest and I had the medium pumpkin. First, we had to decide where to cut the top off. See, I wanted a big lid.
Then, my mommy made me stick my hand in the pumpkin and pull out the seeds.
EEWWW! It was DISGUSTING!!!
This is all of my pumpkin seeds and yucky stuff in a bowl.
Daddy made a Hawkeye jack-o-lantern. I drew a face on mines with a marker and mommy cut it out. She said I did a very good job.
Here's Daddy's and mines glowing.

Grandpa Verton Had a Tree



On the way home from school my mommy and I made up a song about my Grandpa Verton.

Grandpa Verton had a tree
Guess what grew up on it.
A-P-P-L-E
A-P-P-L-E
A-P-P-L-E
An apple grew up on it.

I love eating apples, just like my Grandpa Verton!
