The most(least) exciting day of the year

Today we got up at 5:00 am. We packed up our stuff in the car, and took off. Guess what we were doing all day. Driving. And driving. And more driving(10 hours, not including breaks). And were not even reaching our overall destination today. So you know what we’re doing tommorrow? Driving. Just not as much as today(about 6 hours).

Boating

Today we went boating. We put the boat in and brought it to our mooring . Ben didn’t want to go so I invited Morgan. It took us about 3 hours to do the full trip. We started on motor and then went to one sail. After that we put up both sails.

New Chicks and Ducklings

Today we got new chicks and ducklings. We got nine chicks(6 for us and 3 for the Matkovichs because they got our last chickens) and two ducklings. Technically we didn’t get the ducklings today, we bought them last week and Flemmings(local store) watched them for us.Today we put them in our coop. We closed off the bottom so they can’t leave the coop.when they get bigger we will let them out.

Knights of Weirdcastle Preview

“Hey Chubb-Chubb, get down here, because I think I found something important,” I said.

Chubb-Chubb came down and I showed him the dead orks.

” We better show this to lord D’ingleberry, shouldn’t we, D’orkenstrider,” Chubb-Chubb said.

“We should,” I replied.

We grabbed an ork, and ran to Weirdcastle. The guards let us pass and we ran to Lord D’Ingleberry’s room.

Ogres, Goblins, and Dwarf Orks

It was I nice sunny day out. I was walking through Lorrtera, looking for something to do. Then I noticed that the forest was completely quite.

“That’s not normal.” I thought to myself.

I quickly pulled out my sword, its runes were glowing a deep purple, which meant that ogres were near.

I heard a shuffling noise in the bush behind me. I spun around and cut the heads of of two ogres before they had even stood up. Suddenly the forest was bursting with ogres. I cast a super speed spell, and started killing ogres so fast I couldn’t see my blade. Soon they were all gone.

I continued through the forest and suddenly my blade’s runes turned a brownish color, and before i had time to react I fell down a deep pit and landed on some leaves. I looked around and saw Dwarf Orks mining tunnels. Dwarf Orks are a kind of Ork that lives underground. They are known for their traps(usually deep pits), which you don’t see until the last second. I looked around and noticed that they were advancing on me. Behind them were goblins.

I was too weak to cast spells, so i called my dragons. Then we fought the Orks and Goblins until they were all dead.

I called the dwarves and they got to work exploring the caves. After that I left Lorrtera, because I had had enough action for today.

Pen Making and Minecraft Party

Yesterday we made a pen at the fire department. We had someone who showed us how to do it. We made it from two pieces of wood and a pen making set. We made the wood blocks round and put the pieces of the pen in.

Later that day we had a Minecraft party. We had a bunch of people over and played on Minecraft. There was pizza, brownies, some other snacks, and sodas. We bought the Wii down and put it on the TV. We didn’t have enough accounts so Ben and I had to take turns on my account.
