Summer Camp Ad

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knew about any good summer camps that a 12 year old, 16 year old, and a 17 year old could all go to.  I want a Christian camp that is CHEAP.  I looked up Christian summer camps and almost all of them were 300 to 1000 dollars at LEAST.  The cheapest one I found was 125 to 300 dollars a week.  I would like a camp that costs about--I dunno--50-75 a week because there are three of us kids.  PLEASE leave a comment if you know of any.  I REALLY want to go to summer camp this year.  Court and Will have done it but I couldn't.  At the time I was too little.  So, once again, PLEASE comment if you have any suggestions.  Thanks

The Aviation Museum

Okay, I know I haven't posted in like forever!  But I've been kind of busy on my other blog (ayoungauthorsblog.blogspot.com).  Anyway, on with the post......

Today we (Me, Courtney, Will, Mom, and Mikey) went to the aviation museum.  It took a while to find the way in because you have to go on like three different roads going back and forth just to get there.......look below the get what I mean....the square thing is the building and the lines are the roads......

That probably didn't help, but it's kind of hard to illustrate on the computer with only the keyboard to draw with.  Well there were three roads in the front and the way in was at the very end of one.  On with the story.....

Well, we got in and Mikey got to get in a real airplane........guess what?  HE DIDN'T LIKE IT!!!!!  He was very excited at first, screaming "airpane!".   But, when his foot got stuck in a little wire in the airplane, he cried.  So we got him out and let him play in the toy area.  I sat with him a little while, drew a dumb-looking plane, and wrote a dinky poem.

After looking around with Will, he and I found a game where you control the plane on the screen in front of you.  It had weird controls and Will got a little mad at me when I accidentally changed the view and he couldn't get it back. 

Me, Will, and Court got to ride in something called a......stimulator?  Something like that.  Well, two people get inside and BUCKLE IN.  Make sure you do the latter.  Well, there's a screen in front of you with helicopters and airplanes on it, all made for war.  The pilot steers the "plane" your in and the copilot shoots.  When the pilot steers, the very thing your sitting in reacts however you turn it.  I was so surprised the first time I kept squealing, and Courtney, as pilot, flipped the thing completely upside down!  Will kept telling me to shoot, and I kept telling him to find someone for me to shoot.  Over all, it was awesome!

To end our time there, we did some of the little experiment game things.......you know..........air blowing out sucks a ball in............one wing lifts more that the other...............stuff like that......... Then Mom bought Mikey a little $6.00 airplane toy.  (He's really in to airplanes, even as a...23 month old? I think so.)

ps. when i looked at this the format was ruined so the illustration doesn't work at all.  pay no mind to it.  i have to go, so i'll delete it later. 

Stitches!!!!

Jaime has to go to the doctor to get stitches! They (Mom, Will, and Jaime) are heading to the doctor right now!

This is what I hear happened: Will and Jaime were riding their bikes down a hill (hardly big at all, Jaime says). Jaime was in front and Will was behind. Well, when Jaime got down the hill, there was this hole (she didn't see it), and she ran her bike right into it, hit her leg on some piece of the bike, and flew off.

Now her knee has this small, but deep cut in it, so she has to get stitches. I'd say, she's not too happy about it, but she's tough. When she first got shots (she was like 4 or 5), she didn't cry at all.

So, yeah, she's the first one of us kids to ever have to get stitches.

The Scooter

Jaime has been waiting for this day for a loooooong time. It's finally come. She finally got what she was waiting for, her 4 wheeled scooter which is her birthday present this year. (She's 11 since the 19th!)

Ever since we went to Toys R Us together to let her pick out a birthday present, Jaime has, of all the toys there, desired the 4 wheeled scooter most. Unfortunately because of her birthday being right after Christmas, the store was all out of the scooters, all except for the one that was for show.

Mom and Dad had to order it for her instead. Ever since then, Jaime has been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And today it came! Here are some pictures.

BTW: Jaime has been given some other gifts from me and Will (candy of course!), and Alexis (Jaime's best friend) purchased her a knitting kit. Alexis' older sister, Hannah, wants to teach Jaime how to knit! So that'll be cool. She also got some money from relatives.

Some Little Poems I Wrote

The Spiritual Race

By: Jaime Robinson

If once you're in the race,
Running at a steady pace,
Don't get slowed by sin,
But run the race and win!






Reborn

By: Jaime Robinson

We have been reborn,
No longer torn.
Like a child we grow and grow,
Though we learn quite slow.






The Marriage of Larry

By: Jaime Robinson

There once was a mouse,
Who was fat as a house,
And could barely fit into his hole.
His name was Larry,
And he was quite merry,
'Till his girlfriend married a mole.

Then he was sad,
And he felt very bad,
Until he got a clue.
He lost some weight,
Went on a date,
And he married a girl named Lou.





The Mainean Mariner Malfunctions

By: Jaime Robinson

There once was a man from Maine,
Who boated in the rain.
He tried to catch krill,
But instead caught a chill,
And went home in terrible pain.

The Ragdolls

My name is Jaime. I'm ten years old and crafts is what I like doing most. On July 23 I made a rag doll with the help of my mom. She made the pattern and cut out the pieces of material and I sewed the doll together and stuffed it. I think it was the cutest thing I ever sewed. Me and Court, with mom's help, also made two smaller dolls. I hope to make many more dolls and give them away to family and friends. See picture of dolls below.
