Well, this is unfortunately once again the last post during this summer. Over two weeks ago, I went to see a movie called the Giver with my friend Etienne. We saw it because we both read the book, and we thought it would be fun to go see. We also played at the arcade while we were there. During that same day, I went to sleepover at another one of my friends called Nicolas' house. Since it was raining during nearly the whole time I was there, we stayed inside the whole time. Several days later, I went to my school orientation, where I got to know which class I'm in, and I also got to put all of my school things in my new locker. Two days later, I went to Calypso with yet again Etienne, Emily, my cousin Alexandra, her little brother Tristan, my dad and aunt Jennifer. We did a lot of fun rides including the Kongo, the Boomerango, the racing slide and an obstacle course. Afterwards, he came over to our house to play for a few hours, and after that he came to see a movie near a church called Heaven is for Real. A little while after, I went over to my aunt Jennifer's house with a lot of the cousins for a campfire. We basically played soccer, and just talked around the campfire. It was a nice and peaceful night. On the day before school started, I went our to play tennis with my mom. Even if I got destroyed in both games we played, it was still a lot of fun. Afterwards, we went to eat at Swiss Chalet. I ended up having chicken wings, ad I usually like to take when we're there. We also shared a brownie with ice cream on top. It was definitely very delicious! After that, I went to pre-order a new game for my DS called Super Smash Brothers. We also did some back to school shopping while we were out. I would like to thank everyone who read these posts, it means a lot to me. I had a great summer just like I always do. I'll see all of you next year!!

The meteor shower

Over a week ago, I went to Calypso with my family. We did lots of cool rides including the Congo, the lazy river, the racing slide and much more! The next day, I went to my aunt Jennifer's to shovel sand for her sandbox. We also went swimming and played a bit inside. The shoveling was a lot of work, but we managed to shovel all of the sand into the sandbox. Two days later, I went to the Navan Fair. There were so many fun rides over there, so I will only talk about a few. There was a maze with glass all around you, and we had to find our way to the other side of the maze. This was hard to do because it was difficult to tell the difference between an open path and a glass wall blocking our way. There was also a ride that went very quickly in circles, also bringing you upside-down a little bit. And finally, there was a ride where you also spin in circles, but without going upside-down. We also saw a demolition derby while we were there, and it was fun to watch. The next day, we had the meteor shower sleepover with all of the cousins. We did lots of things like play baseball, soccer, sat around the campfire, doing some really weird things with glowsticks, like drawing pictures and making cool effects with them. Me and my cousin Ben also did a couple of Magic the Gathering drafts. We also played some video games. Later that week, I basically relaxed since I was tired after doing all of those fun things.

Going to Miguel's cottage

Almost a week ago I went to Katie, Alex and Emma's birthday party. We played on the trampoline, did some basic birthday party things like a birthday cake and presents. Several days later, I went to my friend Miguel's cottage for four days. We played croquet, went on a boat ride, played washer, horseshoe toss, various card games, various video games, and much more. I had an amazing time. During the next couple days, I mostly relaxed. On Friday, I went mini-putting with my mom and Emily. I ended up coming in 2nd place. Afterwards, we had lunch at Subway and dessert at Dairy Queen. It was delicious! During that evening I basically relaxed.
