My Summer was packed with fun things!

First, while my Brothers were in Delaware on a mission’s trip, I got to stay with my Aunt Anne for a week! (she is actually my Great Aunt). My Aunt lives in Oregon but she comes to Maine for the Summer to take care of my Great Grandmother, Her Mom. So I went to Stratton where she has a camp on a lake called Jim Pond. All week there was never a day without a big Thunder storm! but I still had so much fun with her, we did all sorts of things, like Swimming, Kayaking, Hiking (between storms), and cleaning out Gram’s cellar for a yard sale. Another Fun thing was that driving into camp it is all dirt road for miles, and no one goes on them so I get to drive, it is Very potholey, and there are lots of big rocks sticking out, so it could be a challenge sometimes.

Then two weeks later My whole family went to Camp Good News, I learned so much about God there, and I made some Awesome friends! For my activity I took Riflery, so I learned alot about how to handle and shoot a gun (even though it was a BB gun).

After that we took our Family vacation with My Aunt Anne at Jim Pond, Most of the time we were swimming! my Cousin’s were there to so they would swim with us, in the Middle of the week we all went to Grand Falls, it took an hour to get there, and it was all dirt roads, we did not have enough room in our car so two of us had to get in the trunk! it was pretty fun. when we got to the Fall’s it was beautiful! the Fall’s were really big, and after we went swimming on top, but if you got withing 50 feet of the Fall, you would feel it pulling you! At the end of the week was Our family reunion, Mainly people eat, and talk, and maybe play some games,one of our tradition’s is a white elephant! this year I got a candle that is Fruit Loop scented! My favorite thing was the 4 wheeler my cousin owns, because I got to drive it alot! it was so much fun! except once I went into a swamp that was about waist deep and I almost thought it was stuck! and then I rode with my Brother and the same thing happened.

a couple weeks later, My Mom, Dad, Erik, and I, went to Fun Town Splash Town! it was so much fun! My favorite rides were the, Excalibur, it was a wooden roller coaster! and the Dragons Decent, it would take you up at least 120 feet, then it free fell! it was VERY fun! From Splash town I liked the Tornado, it was a big water slide that was dark and twisty, and then you dropped about 5 feet in to a tornado shape! and you went around and around and down into the hole! the hole day was soooo much fun!
