Paint Ball Fight Part 2
The paint balls are now frozen and will now be even more painful. As we look out for the other team which is Joel’s friend, Shawn and his son Jordan I am hit in the mask with a paintball. Right after I am hit I fire my gun wildly. Two more shots explode in my chest; I’m out of the game. As I peer over to Joel I realized that he had been hit too. As I stroll out of the woods in defeat.As we reach home my mom greets me and Joel with some hot chocolate. -
Paint Ball Fight Part 1
I look like a puffy marshmallow as I gear up in extra padding. I am gearing up for a dangerous sport; paint ball fight! I load up my gun with shiny purple spheres and crawl back into my hiding spot. As I peek around the corner of the wide tree something passes right past my face. I have been spotted. “Let’s move!” whispers Joel, my mom’s boyfriend. As I sprint to a new spot, I can tell we are being watched. The wind picks up and it starts to hail. -
Spot the Perfect Puppy Part 2
The people who were selling it said it was a boy but we still bought it. When we got home we found out it was a girl! We all decided to name the new dog Spot. First Sparkles and Spot didn’t get along very well; they barked and bit at each other. But after a few days they started to play. Now Spot is the newest member in our family. -
Spot the Perfect Puppy Part 1
We had one dog named Sparkles who was lonely. What my mom and her boyfriend Joel had planned would be a huge surprise. We went to the flea market to look at what stuff they had to buy. We went down this one section that had a lot of dogs and I knew what was happening. We were getting a dog! We looked at many dogs but I saw one that looked really cute, it was a beagle-chihuahua mix. We wanted a girl dog because our other dog was a girl. -
Four Wheeler Derby Part 1
I have always wanted to drive a four wheeler. It has been a week since we got our mini 4-wheeler fixed. My brother has been riding the 4-wheeler all day and now it is my turn. After driving it for a while on low I turn up the speed. Going past everyone in the yard and having the dogs chase me was the best. When I wasn’t paying attention on where I was going I ran into a deer! I ripped of its head and legs and the 4-wheeler tipped over on top of me. -
Four Wheeler Derby Part 2
Luckily it was only a plastic deer target and the 4-wheeler didn’t weigh much. I left my brother to drive that today. Right after I decided to drive the go-cart. I was doing donuts around the yard then driving straight after my brother. I ran into the wood column holding up our patio roof while doing a donut. After that I was done with driving today. -
Fort Building Part 2
Kiera and Paige collected leaves for the roof of the fort so nobody would shot us from behind. When we were half way done my face and legs were frozen but still building. It was about two feet tall which is tall enough to crouch down in when we started putting the roof on. The last thing we had to do was to camouflage it with mud, rocks, and twigs. When it was done you could not see it from far away, it had a roof, and it had holes to slip paint-ball guns through. -
Fort Building Part 1
A month ago a wicked storm blew over trees in our woods. My mom’s boyfriend, Joel started to chainsaw them into wood for fires and left big logs. I wanted a new fort for paint-ball fights so I decided to build a fort. My mom and Joel lifted the colossal logs to build the base and then left the rest to my siblings and Joel’s kids. Collin and Cole lifted some medium logs as I directed them on where to place them. -
Fishing Trip Part 1
I seemed like forever until we started fishing. The boat had to drive to the fishing spot and they had to come around and help with setting lines. My dad and I had already set our rods when we started fishing. Literally ten minutes after we set our rods in we had caught a fish, it was orange with sharp pins all over. We were the first to catch a fish on the whole boat. After that the boat moved to a different spot and we saw some sea lions and a bull shark jump out of water. -
Fishing Trip Part 2
While we were fishing the bottom of our pants became soaked in sea water. We caught three more spiny fish after two hours of fishing. In the last hour we caught a fish which was see-through on one side and the other side had two eyes on the one side. We had the third largest fish of everyone on the boat. We gave our fish away in the end because we couldn’t cook them at the hotel we were at.
