On Saturday I got to the Draves house about 4 (I was staying there because my parents were gone to a seminar) we went on the Computer for a bit, than ate dinner while Watching NCIS. After that we watched National Treasure till we were tired.
The next day Mr. Draves woke us up at 5:45, at 6:15 we were helping put stuff out for a yard sale, our job during the Yard Sale was to take money, it was pretty fun, but very boring most of the time! twice we got to ride bikes down to the Bakers because they were hosting a Yard Sale also, in their Sale they were selling Kittens for some of their friends down the street! two of them were orange and white striped, and one was gray and white,they were soooo cute!! the Bakers bought the Gray and White one.
After the Yard Sale we each got a ride on the Motor Cycle! it was Very fun. During Dinner we watched NCIS again. Then later we went on the trampoline while it was dark, it was fun! we watched NCIS before bed.

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!

We got back about a hour ago from being in South Carolina, we went to see my brother graduate from Basic Training, he went in to the Army National Guard, the first day was family and he could not leave the base so we stayed there most of the day.
A Helicopter from Vietnam
Then the next day was Graduation day so we went early to the building just to wait in a very crowded space for a hour before we could sit down, then they gave a couple speeches on how great they were, sang the national anthem, the Solders said The Solders Creed, and sang the Army Song, then they graduated!
After that we got in the car With Erik and drove to Virginia where he had to go to AIT Training at.
Here is a picture of the first time we “saw” Erik
Then that night we ALL stayed at the hotel, the next morning we were going to the base to see when they needed him to report in, The Lady there thought he Was reporting in, and when she knew the mistake it was to late and she would not let him leave the Base, and the told us to leave (We learned later that they did not need him until late that night). But that is a whole other story.
But anyway, we were going to stay another night in Virginia but then we called the Ferry’s in New Jersey and asked them if we could go to there house early, They said yes, so off we went to New Jersey.
We Stayed in New Jersey for 3 days, and just relaxed, it was so Awesome. The Last night we were there we all played a game of Ultimate Frisbee, we played till 9:30 until it was so dark and foggy mostly all you could see was the light up Frisbee, that was soooo fun!
This is Sebastian

Yesterday we got back from a whole week of TeenPact! I was not actually in the whole class, just the one day class with My new friend Hannah Reed, Ruthy and Naomi.
So during the while my brother’s and my Mom were at TeenPact, I was at Camp Berea with Hannah, Josiah, Asa, and Levi and Mrs.Reed, and also Olivia and Mrs.Horsman. We spent our time doing school, Playing Ping Pong, and Cooking for most of the student’s and all of the staff.
I had sooo much fun the whole week! best parts were the Ping Pong tournament’s, and the endless line of people waiting to play (which Hannah and I were in a lot), the Food was also Delicious! I can’t wait till next year when I get to do the 4-Day Class!

A couple days ago We (Me, my parent’s, and Micah) got back from the Homeschool Convention in Rockland. The Convention was held at the Samoset resort so that is where we stayed for 2 nights.
The whole thing was sooooo much fun! I spent most of the time with Colleen, Shannon, Abby, and Billy Clarke, walking around and “exploring”.
My favorite thing was the sessions taught by Mike Snavley, He talked about Creation vs. Evolution, Spider’s, Ancient Civilization, The Flood, and Dinosaurs. He was really good! My Favorite one was either Spiders or Ancient Civilization. Did you know that if you wound up spider webbs into a pencil thick strand and some how put it into the air it could stop a air plane at full speed? And spider webb is the strongest substance known to man! I thought this was Amazing.
We also went out side onto this really long walk (That I think was a mile long) that led out into the ocean and at the end was this little light house sort of thing, when we got there Shannon, Colleen, Abby, and Billy ate lunch (I had eaten at the hotel) and then we had to go back so we would not miss swimming :).
The only thing I bought was a bag that had a picture of a Dog with a little kitten sleeping on his head. I thought it was the cutest thing, but when Luke saw it (A person from TeenPact) he just said “It’s a dead Cat!” Then he got a picture of the bag, put it on his Lap Top and then he just had to make it look like the cat really was dead.
Another really fun part was the pool. It was really big, and the deep end was 8 feet deep! We only went in twice because we were so busy being Volunteers and listening in Session’s.
By the time we got back Saturday night We were all soooo tired, and we had to lose a hour of sleep that night and still get up for church.
So over all it was Really Fun!
