On Sunday afternoon after church I went over to the Otis’ house, when we got there we had to hurry and get changed so we could go to Naomi’s Soccer game.  While Naomi was playing, I was in the bleachers watching her play and waiting for Mrs. Otis to get there.  When she got there I played with Heidi who is 1, and Josiah who is 7.  After the game (they lost 1 to 0) we went home, but on the trip back Naomi had to prop her leg on the seat because she had a really bad scrape.

When we got back Naomi took a quick shower, and then we had Popcorn and watched some of Little Women.  Then we had to go back to church.

On Saturday My Dad, Mom, and I went to a pre-cept bible study at our church, it was called “finding your place of service in the church” it was really cool!  Me, Miranda Draves, Kori, and Kendra McCarver were the only kids there.  The study went from 9:00 Am to 4:00 Pm!

I learned alot from the study, and I can’t wait to go again!

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!

Last Saturday we went up to Manchester, New Hampshire for quiz teem.

At quiz they ask you 10 paddle questions (multiple choice) and then 10 speed quiz questions, Me and Kendra were on a team, and we are in the 3rd book, and the 3rd bookers go first. I got all of the multiple choice right, and then in speed quiz I answered 2 questions both right and 2 other people quizzed out (got 3 right). If I would have gotten 1 more question right I would have gotten highest honor, and won first place! but I did not and we got third place out of 4 teams.

in 2nd book Annie Dumont, Josh Horne, and Josh Wright got 2nd place. In 1st book Caleb Draves, and Josiah Otis got 1st!
