(As portrayed by Mom & Dad)
We got a new game at the comic shop this week. It is called Takenoko. You have to farm bamboo for a hungry panda. It is a fun game and lots of challenges. Thunder wanted to play as well.
This was the first game in a while that we were all smiles at the end of. No tears from anyone!
I am working really hard on my form lately. I had a frustrating day but am trudging forward. I have been working hard on my Xs on the 10yard range. I really enjoy shooting at the 3D targets for fun at the end of class.
The evenings are finally cooler and beach weather again. We joined some of our friends for an evening of beach fun.
We made a giant structure in the sand wall. It had flowing aqueducts, tunnels and lots of hidden wading pools.
We swam in the calm warm water.
We jumped off the sand wall.
We had a wonderful time and I am excited for more fall beach evenings in the near future!
Mom dragged me out of bed in the dark. We drove 3 hours to get to the 9am class in Gainesville. I talked and talked for the first hour and then zonked out mid sentence.
We had some cool classes with University of Florida professors and grad-students. Â I really liked the “What is a leaf?” class.
We learned about compasses and had to mark pace and direction.
In our downtime we shoulder surfed as a friend played Minecraft on his Mom’s phone.
We stuck cicada exoskeletons all over the adults.
We tried to stay serious after a 8 hour day of classes and programs.
We all survived to the end, well most of us!
I am really looking forward to the Forest Ecology Contest this year.
Tonight we took Grandma Susie out to dinner at the Melting Pot for her 70th birthday. I don’t think she is really 70. I at a little of the appetizer and then an entire lobster tail for my main course. Of course I became one with the pot of chocolate!
