WHERE I'M FROM

Where I’m From

I am from skiing in Lost Valley, and riding unicycles at WOW camp

From vanilla ice-cream at Cold Stone, City and Viking Playmobile men

I am from the two story, tan house, looking at the bright stars with my cousins

From gazing for Rudolf on Christmas Eve with my family, and being cared about by mom and dad

From Mark and Karen and Ella, Bergeron and Smith

I am from watching movies with my mom and dad curled up on the couch, and cruising down Fox Hole

From “No monsters” and “Santa is real”

I’m from Maine, juicy turkey , and creamy whoopee pies that make a mess

I am from the photo album where all my family pictures are kept safe

I was eating ice cream and sitting at a picnic table at Lake Shore-Lunch. We came in our boat from our camp. When we were heading back to camp, Ella, my sister, was sitting in the front of the bout and making my dad hit waves. So did I. Whenever my dad hit a wave, my sister yelled “weee, this is fun!” When we got back to our camp, my cousins, Austin, Carter, Collin, Justin, Taylor, Ella, and me decided to go swimming. We swam out to our launch pad, a floating trampoline. What we do on the launch pas is push each other off. I came up behind Taylor when he was gong to do a dive and I pushed him off. Hat night we had a campfire. “Can I have two s’mores?” I asked. My dad answered “After I had two s’mores.” I went over to put my crayfish trap in the water. “Make sure to tie it tightly.” Justin Said. “Fourteen!” I said to my cousin Carter. I just caught 14 crayfish in my trap, it was early in the morning and only me and Carter were outside.

The Moon and its Phases

DID YOU KNOW?.....................

· The moon is the closest object to Earth and is ¼ times the size of the Earth.

· The moon is covered with craters made by rocks in space that smash into the moon.

· There is not any wind on the moon so astronaut's footsteps, like Neil Armstrong's, are there forever.

· The moon controls the Earths tides.

The phases of the Moon are: new moon, first quarter or crescent, full moon, and gibbous moon. When the moon is moving from small to large it's called waxing, and when it moves from large to small it is called waning.

Ice Cream

One day my family was coming back from Vermont and we stopped in Ogunquit to see my mom and dad's friends from New York. They were in Ogunquit on vacation. We had dinner with them. After dinner we where going out for ice cream. We walked to the ice cream shop, it was a long walk. At the ice cream shop you could make your own ice cream sundae. After I picked one flavor they were all out of that flavor. After a couple of minutes I choose another flavor. The ice cream sundaes were two scoops. Then my parents decided that me and my sister could only have one scoop. So we could only have one topping. To make it worse I had to sit alone or I could squeeze into a table. I decided to squeeze into the table it made me a little bit happier.

The Last Time I Went Camping by Lucas

The last time I went camping, when I heard the news I was so excited. When we left home for Littlefield Campground it was raining. We had loaded our canoe on top of the mini van and it looked like it was resting on the window. Our campsite was close to the water. We stayed two nights. We had a train track close to our campsite and we could hear the train. The first night there was a very loud train but I slept right through it. The next day we went canoeing. We brought snacks and my fishing pole. It was a big lake. We paddled almost all the way around. We saw some islands and at one island people were climbing a tree and then jumped into the water. Then we went into a shallow narrow place in between two islands. I tried to catch a fish but I had no luck. Next we saw a stump in the water. There was a 6 inch fish swimming over the stump. We paddled through some weeds. I looked in the water a saw a foot long fish! It swam under the canoe and swam away. We also saw two kayaks attached. It was a paddleboat, and people were jumping off it. When we headed back we were looking for the stump with the six inch fish. All of a sudden we heard a loud crunch. We realized that we had just hit the stump.We started heading back to the campsite, and on the way we didn't see anything interesting. We got back to the campsite, changed our clothes and went to play mini golf. There were 18 holes and one of the holes was like a little ant hill. Hole number 5 was a small barn with a hole in it and a slow fan that was spinning over the hole, which made it hard for the ball to go in. You had to time it just right.
