Last days in Baltimore

Friday morning, we went swimming in our hotel pool. I has lots of fun, and Emily was proud that she was able to touch the bottom of the deep end. After swimming, we went to visit my baby cousin, Alexia. We just relaxed over there. Afterwards, we went to see the nearby baseball game. It was Baltimore vs. Toronto. Baltimore won 6-4, and one of there players scored 3 home runs in a row. It was a great experience, there were also neat fireworks at the end.The following day, we went to visit them again just before we left. Me and Lily invented animal songs. On the ride back, we went to subway, dunkin' donuts, McDonalds and we looked at gamestop. In the car, I listened to music, played my Ds, read quidditch through the ages, rested and some other things. What an amazing time I had at Baltimore! P.S. This is my last entry this summer. I hope you all enjoyed!

Third day at Baltimore

During my third day at Baltimore, we went to Costco where I got a bit of school supplies. Emily also wanted to go to PetSmart, where she got her hamster cotton some corn which can be popped into popcorn. For lunch, we went to friendly's. It's a restaurant where they make really delicious ice cream. They also serve meals, but they make really good ice cream. After eating there, we went to my Uncle Derek and aunt Yulia's to visit again. We went for a walk while we were over there, and they were filming a show called House of Cards. We also had a magic draft while we were there, and I got some pretty cool cards.

Second day at Baltimore

During my second day at Baltimore, we went to the national zoo. We saw lions, tigers, flamingos, gorilla's, and a whole ton of other things. It was very fascinating. We also had lunch over there. There was an aquatic area, an insect area, a bird area and a whole lot more. We went to Olive garden to have supper afterwards. I had chicken strips. It was quite delicious. We went back to our hotel to swim in the pool. It was very fun, the water was very nice. Then, I relaxed until I went to sleep.

First day in Baltimore

On Tuesday, we woke up early for our trip to Baltimore. The car ride was about 9-10 hours. I played my ds, read some books, listened to music, rested and played with stuffed animals. We stopped by burger king to have lunch. There was something called the family food, which asks family feud questions on it, and we won 3 chicken wraps since we got all three of ours right. When we arrived at the hotel, we just looked around, and all. We also went to my uncle Derek's and aunt Yulia's to see my new baby cousin, Alexia. She was very cute. I had a very fun time over there. Very fun in baltimore so far!

During the past couple days, we invited our friend Katie for a sleepover. We all went to see diary of a wimpy kid: dog days in the theaters. It was a good and funny movie.We also went to Emily's gymnastics demonstration at a park. We saw my uncle Allan there. There was a bouncy tent, and a slide with some water and bubbles on it. Me, Emily and Katie tried both of them. Katie also tried the gymnastics things. Me and Katie went on some of the parks. We had watermelon, burgers and cotton candy while we were there. When we came back, the three of us played a bit with barbie dolls. After a while, we went to bed and read diary of a wimpy kid books. The day after, the girls played disney princesses on the wii. I played smash bros. and wii play after they were done. We also went for a walk, but I rode my bike instead. Afterwards, we played Harry Potter scene it. Katie and Emily were against me, and they won. After Katie was gone, me and my mom went to play tennis. We had a lot of fun. We also went to dairy queen afterwards. While we were there, we looked at the used book shop. I had a fun day out with my mom this year.

Inviting my cousins

Yesterday, I invited my cousins Bradley and Shane to come over. We went and got some wings, fries, pizza and potato salad for lunch. We all went over to my cousin Alexandra's for a swim. We played colors, raced and did high and long jump. Afterwards, we just played on her play structure. After we were done playing at her house, we went to my house. We played with water balloon's, played badminton, played on the wii, and on the computer. We also played our DS's on the way back. We were playing capture the flag, and I didn't do so well, they took my flag a lot. We had a ton of fun. I also went to the park while my mom did her boot camp. My sister saw her friend while we were there, so we all played together. We played on the swing, played grounders, up and down, and other kinds of things. I had a lot of fun over there, so did my sister and my mom. I also had my final soccer game. I scored about 3-5 goals, and we won by a lot. I did really well this time. Me, my sister and dad all went to the tim hortons camp in quebec. It was really cool seeing all of the kids play together. Me and Emily swam, went rock climbing and tried out their swing. We had an amazing time.I pretty much relaxed the rest of the time.

A fun few days

During the past few days, I went to my friends Katie, Alex and Emma's house for their birthday party. This year's theme was Harry Potter. They had decorated their house with Harry Potter things. I played outside on their trampoline, I played soccer with my dad, and played on their swings. They also made chocolate frogs as seen in the movie/the book. They also put one of the characters on their toilet seat.It was very fun. I also invited my friend Etienne over. We played basketball in our basement, played badminton, played on the wii and on the computer. We had a whole lot of fun. I also went to swim at my cousin Alexandra's house. I also practiced riding my bike at her house. Me, my dad and sister also all went for a bike ride.

The meteor shower

Yesterday we had my cousins Shane, Bradley, Jonathan, Ben, Cameron and my friend Miguel for the meteor shower. We played the wii, the computer, played a lot of soccer, I played some badminton, and we all talked outside.We also played with my nerf guns, we played basketball in my room, and played magic. Me, Bradley, Shane and Miguel were taking pictures of ourselves, we were doing a relativity test, and we merged photos together. We didn't have a campfire, or look at the shooting stars this year, since it was raining and very wet. Instead of camping outside, we camped in our garage. Me, Brad, Shane and Miguel slept in our own tent, and the rest of the boys slept in their own tent. During the night, we had pokemon battles, recorded our voices, made movies on the ds and just talked. The following day, we had chocolate chip pancakes, played nerf, played soccer, and the wii. When Miguel left, we started playing on the computer. We also had a fun soccer match, it was a really close game. I also played some more magic with Cameron. And then, everyone left. I had an amazingly fun time, it was the best meteor shower yet!! After they left, we went to the Navan fair. There were some cool looking rides, but we only got to go on a few of them. I went on the ferris wheel with my sister, a guitar kind of ride where it rotates very high, then rotates back down. I also went on the bumper cars with my sister. I went on a ride with my dad where it starts spinning you, then it starts going higher, and after you start tilting backwards. It pretty much tilts you backwards, going really high spinning really fast. We also played some games, we played a water gun game where you try and hit a target with a water gun, and the first one to have their monkey reach the top wins. If you hit the target, your monkey goes up. We also played a similar game, except instead of a monkey it's water. Emily also played a balloon popping game.We also looked at the navan fair contest results, we looked at some animals, and we saw the comedy group the cowguys. It was really funny.

Movie on the beach

For this year's movie on the beach, I invited my friends Isaak, Felix-Antoine and Nicolas. We started by swimming in the lake. We found seaweed and threw it at each other, played jackpot with a volley-ball and raced in the water. It was a lot of fun. After, we had a snack and started to pretend to be playing Minecraft until the movie started. The movie ended at about 10:30. When we got home, we played our video games in the tent. I was getting tired so I went to sleep a little earlier than everyone else. The day after, me and Isaak were the only ones awake so we went inside to play. When it was breakfast, Nicolas woke up. After we ate, we played a game on the wii called super smash bros. It's pretty much a normal fighting game. After Nicolas and Felix-Antoine left, me and Isaak went to bike to my friend Brad's house. Isaak was too tired to continue so he got picked up and went home. Me and my dad went to my friend Brad's for a bit. After, me, my dad and Brad all biked back to my house. Me and Brad played Roblox, Minecraft and watched youtube videos. I had a fun, busy 2 days.

Swimming at splash

Two days ago, I had a soccer game. It was a pretty close game, I think we lost 3-2. I had a lot of fun. On Wednesday, me, my sister and dad all went swimming at a public pool called Splash. There is a big slide, a pool, a wave pool and a hot tub. We did a bit of each. My dad ripped his swim suit, so me and my sister swam alone for the rest of the time. It was a great way to spend our afternoon. Today I went to my cousin Alexandra's house to swim, and watch a bit of the olympics. I had fun, the girls also taught me what they do as warm up's for their gymnastics.

Mini putting

Two days ago, Me, my mom and dad all went mini-putting at Golfland. We had a lot of fun, my dad came first, followed by my mom, who only came 2nd by a couple of points. At the end, you putt the ball in a machine which has holes. Some holes took points away from your score and 1 hole got you a free game. My dad got -3 points, my mom got -1 point and I won a free game! I was so happy. The day after, me and my dad played badminton outside. I lost all of the games but I still had a lot of fun. Me and my family also played cranium, which is a board game where you have questions,stunts or guess what someone is drawing. Me and my dad were on a team, against my mom and sister. Me and my dad were winning, until it was their turn. They got the answer right, and if they rolled a 6 they would win. And, they rolled a six. So, we lost, but we were very close.

Lots of playing!

Three days ago, my sister and my dad went to watch my cousin Alexandra's gymnastic class. They could not see Alexandra's warm up's because she was doing them upstairs. They also went to the superstore to get snacks. Emily was going to save them for Alexandra, but she was too hungry and ate them all. I also went to see Emily's gymnastics in competitive for my first time. She did back handspring's, back walkover's, front walkover's a handstand and a tick- tock (a front walkover and back) and a cartwheel on the beam. She did a routine and she practiced her kips. She did not stop doing things on the trampoline. She climbed the rope without using her legs. On the vault she couldn't do the front handspring's with her legs straight and her teacher knew she could do it, her legs just didn't go straight. She did lots of other things. She is so good! 
The day after, me, Emily, Alexandra, my dad and my friends Isaac, Aaron and Canaan went to Mont Cascades. There were a lot of cool slides. There was a vortex, dark slides, fast slides and a sort of Boomerang like at Calypso. There was also a racing slide. I once did a false start because I slipped and slid. Whoops! After that, Aaron came over for a sleepover. We played Minecraft and with my sister's hamster, Cotton a.k.a. Squeaky. We also went to me and my sister's soccer games. I had a few breakaways but I missed all of them. Aaron also played on my team as a goalie. The day after, we played Minecraft against each other, badminton,went for a walk and played with Cotton. I lost very badly against Aaron on minecraft because he always stole my items and killed me whenever I was close. We also went to a BBQ after the sleepover. The day after, me and my sister played our DS's in the morning, played badminton, played a back to the future game in our basement and Alexandra came over to play for a couple of minutes. Me and my sister also played on the wii for a bit after Alexandra left.

Sleepover at a friend's

Yesterday, I went bike riding with my dad. We went as far as sarsfield this time. I also played Minecraft. I pretty much just survived the zombies because I was hiding in my house. I also had a sleepover at my friend Isaak's house. My sister also had a sleepover with his sister, Nève. Me and Isaak played our DS's, we swam in their pool, played on the computer and played outside. I had lots of fun. The day after, we played our DS's and swam in the pool. We also just relaxed outside for a bit. Quite a relaxing Sunday.

Bike rides

Yesterday I went to my dad's dentist for his checkup. Me and Emily simply played our DS's while we waited. We also went to dollarama, future shop and Wal-mart. When we got back home, I played minecraft which I got (with the help and permission from my dad) and I had fun playing it. Me and him also went for a bike ride. The road was very bumpy and had a lot of rocks. This was a very fun experience. I also went swimming at my cousin Alexandra's house. We swam for about 15-30 minutes. The day after, I practiced riding my bike on the driveway. I also played with Emily on minecraft and outside.

Swimming at Alexandra's

Today I went to my cousin Alexandra's house to swim. We all did underwater handstand contests (my sister, Alexandra, my dad and me) and I won all of them by a couple of seconds. It's hard because you need to keep your balance and hold your breath at the same time. We also had ice cream before leaving. We relaxed for the rest of the day.

Etienne's house

Yesterday I went to my friend Etienne's house. We went swimming, we played on his trampoline and we played on his Wii. We played wii sports resort, and we were trying to score a secret strike on bowling. You had to have the ball roll on the whole gutter and then the alley will shake and the pins will fall. We got a secret strike and spare (since we missed the first time).The day after was just a nice day to relax at home. I did some spanish lessons and I was supposed to have soccer at the end of the day but it was cancelled due to hail and tornado warnings.

The Lorax

Yesterday me and my friend Isaak and the rest of my family + my sisters friends and my grandma went to place d'Orleans to go see The Lorax. The movie was outside, and there was face painting, balloons and more. The movie started at 9:00 and ended at about 10:30. When we got back home, me and Isaak played our DS's until about 1:30. Then we started saying some random words and went to sleep. The day after, me and Isaak played on the computer. We just played the games that we generally like to play together. We also did some basketball trick shots in my room. (With mini nets and ball) After he left, my friend Nicolas called to invite me over to his house to play. So I went to his house and we played skylanders. The game wasn't really working, so we watched some TV instead. We watched America's funniest home videos, spongebob and sea monsters, or something like that. Sea monsters is a show where a guy tries to catch monsters that live underwater. Like a big sting ray, for example. We also went swimming in his pool and we would steal each others mats to relax on. After returning home, I relaxed for the rest of the day.

Fun at the splash pad

Today I went to eat lunch at Casey's with my good friend Kitty since it was her birthday. I had some crispy fish, it was really delicious. After eating lunch, me, my dad and my sister went to the splash pad close to our church. Me and Emily sprayed each other and we made a river. We dug a little path and put water in it. Not such a busy day.

My friend's cottage

I went to my friend Miguel's cottage on Sunday for five days. The first day I played some croquet, went kayaking, played the wii, the DS, and had a lot of fun. The day after, we had a ring tournament. There were 2 boards and you had to get the ring in the holes to score or on the board but the next person could cancel the points. Me and Miguel were on a team, and we lost all of our games. We also went swimming in the lake and we canoed. We also played the wii and DS and some croquet. We also played pass the ace at the end of the day. The day after we did pretty much the same things and played spoons at the end of the day.

The final day, we went swimming, played inside, played a baseball game and when we left we went to get ice cream. I had a rolo ice cream. I had a lot of fun.

Baseball tournament

Yesterday I played three games of baseball which lasted the whole day.  I had lots of fun, I hit a real good pop-fly but they caught it. I mostly did walks. We won all three games which meant we'd go in the finals the next day. Between games me and my friend Isaak would play with my flying bird (my other friends too), we'd eat, play my DS and just talk. We also watched the senior games, they pitched really fast and they were really good teams. The day after was our finals game, and we won 1st place!!! It was a close enough game, we won by 7 points. There was also cake at the end. We were all awarded a trophy. I had so much fun playing baseball this year.

Lots of friends

She has to drink medicine 3 times a day and she might have to go to Cheo again only if the medicine doesn't get the fluid out of her ears. The results were good. After that, we went to the library. I got a hardy boys book and some nintendo power magazines. After that we swam at my cousin Alexandra's. My cousin Ben was there too.We also went to play at the park.

We almost beat my dad for most of the games but we lost them all and had lots of fun.

Canada day

Two days ago, me and my dad went to Canada day close to the parliament to volunteer. We helped with putting kids on the fun train, and we helped give away the lunches. At one point, I was doing the lunches alone. We had a fun time, we got cheese curds, oreos, a piece of pizza and we saw all sorts of cool spray paintings and lots more! After Canada day, we went to my grandma's house for a BBQ. We also went swimming in the pool. After that, we went to the Alcid Trudeau park (the vars park) to see fireworks for Canada day. They were very cool and I saw a few of my friends.

We played on the computer, and we went on his trampoline. He put a sprinkler under the trampoline which made it fun and slippery. After playing with him I went to my cousin Cameron's graduation celebration. We played some magic (a card game) and I tried his game called Diablo III. I had lots of fun and I played my DS on the way back. The day after I went to my cousin Alexandra's house to swim. We did a version of jackpot on the pool. We would stand on the deck, somebody throw's a ball high in the air and somebody jumps and try's to catch the ball. I also played catch with my cousin Tristan. And after that, during the evening me and my family went to the RCMP musical ride. Emily got to pet 3 horses. We arrived home at about 10:30 since there were a lot of people trying to get out at the same time.

Shopping

Today I went to my cousin Jonathan's junior high graduation. He won the class award " true sportsmanship". Before that, we went to wal-mart to get him a gift and to spend my gift card. I got 2 skylanders. After that we went to eb games. I thought that my gift card had $10 on it but it had $45 on it. With that, I got a skylander and a new ds game called "DragonBall origins 2". We also got a new wii, since our old one didn't work anymore. I also had a baseball game and my cousin Ben came too. We lost by a couple points. I am also starting to help for a study for kids health.

Clue

Yesterday I went to my sister's final gymnastics class in rec challenge. She did really well, she can now do a cartwheel followed by a double back handspring! After the gymnastics we went home and played 2 games of clue. I won both of them, the first I had no idea what the answer was, but Emily seemed to know and she was heading to where you can guess. She seemed surprised, she asked for 3 things and nobody showed anything. So I guessed before her and got it right. The game after that, both my sister and my dad guessed wrong so I won automatically.

Sleepover with friends

Yesterday my sister Emily did her gymnastics skill meet. She did really well, only needed to improve some minor things. I played dodgeball with my friend Thomas during the skills meet. After that, we went to Montana's to celebrate the end of Rec challenge. (My sister's gymnastics level) After eating, I went to my friend Miguel's for a sleepover. He also invited my friends Oliver and Tristan. We played Monopoly, watched Ice age 3 and played on our DS's/ Ipod touches. The day after we did a treasure hunt, played outside, played soccer, ministicks, our DS's, watched a bit of Daddy day care (a movie) and had lots of fun.

Lots of baseball

Today my sister played 2 more games for her baseball tournament. Her team came last, but they still did really well. I also went to church to altar serve. Not a very busy day.

Summer arrives!

Today is my first blog post this summer. Yay! Yesterday was my last day of school and we pretty much played all day. There were bouncy tents, slides, mazes inside carnival games prizes etc. And for the BBQ, I pretty much did the same things. After that, I had a baseball game. The opposing team had really fast pitchers, which made it really hard to actually hit the ball. I never got striked out, I only got walks. I think we lost by a couple points. It was a fun game. Today I went to my cousin Alexandra's to swim in her pool. I had a fun time, and I also played with my little cousin, Tristan. We also went to costco for free samples and to petsmart so that Emily could get some things for her hamster. She got a hamster ball, a home for it, a food dish and a chew toy. Looks like this summer is gonna be a blast.
