Bark Park

Today I went to Bark Park. Bark Park is a dog park, which is where a dog plays in water or goes in the field and plays with other dogs. Today at Bark Park, we were back and forth with Dewey in the water and in the field. Dewey is my dog. He is named after a BEACH! This was the third time we took him and he's getting better at swimming. Even though he is a Golden Retriever, he doesn't really love to swim yet. But my mom says the more we take him, the more he might like the water. Dewey is almost 5 years old. Dewey is very big for his age and right now he is sitting right in front of us sleeping. He is kind of wet and a little stinky.

On the way to the dog park in the car, I was trying to rearrange the seats on the car so that Dewey could stick his head out the window and when I was trying to put the seat up, I accidentally drop the seat on his foot. His foot got stuck and he was whining because it hurt. My mom jumped in the back and helped get his foot unstuck. I felt not so good because I would never hurt an animal. He was fine when we got to the park and was running all over the place.

The Last Day Before 2nd Grade

Today we went to the Delaware Children's Museum. I built a structure that looked like a wooden cabin. There was a maze that was a semi-circle and made of metal cables and wood and carpet. At first, I did not want to go, but then it turned out to be REALLY fun because you could send a little message through a tube and someone could send it back with something in it. And there was a water room and faucets that came out and then when you turn them off the water goes back into a cloud and it starts raining. I had lots of fun there. I wanted to buy a robot hand that when you pulled the trigger the hand closed. And my mom would not let me get it. We also went to the zoo where we saw a bobcat, river otters, goats, llamas and a giant porcupine and an ostrich. And then we went to the river and climbed on the rocks and fed geese. And then we went home. Now I'm watching television, resting in my den. I am looking forward to going to school tomorrow because I want to meet all the people I did not meet before.

My Friends at School by Elliana Scherer

Abby, Avery, McKenna, Drew, Garrett, Maddie, Nathan, Jackson, Max, Nora, Megan. They're really nice. I love them. They are my best friends ever. I don't know how I could ever play with them again. But since they're my best friends ever, maybe I could play with them today! And sometimes they be really nice to me. Oh I forgot one more name - Erin. See ya later!

My Dad

I like when my dad has a catch with me. I like when my dad tries to hit me in the pool with a ball. I like to swim with my dad. My Dad is awesome because he plays a lot of fun stuff that I want to do with me. My Dad likes to do yardwork. My Dad likes to watch the construction channel. My Dad likes to go outside and play jackpot. My Dad is the best Dad in the world.

The Pancake Special

About 1 week ago, I created a new pancake sandwich for Kim's Kafe. And that sandwich was called Braedon's pancake special which is made of pancake as the bread, and then in the middle it is sausage, egg and melted cheese. And underneath the pancake has syrup on the bottom of both pancakes. My mom says it's kind of like a McGriddle from McDonald's or a pancake Sizzli from Wawa.

I have been going to Kim's Kafe for 7 years and I have had food that is delicious but Braedon's pancake special is the best I have ever tasted. In speaking of being there for a long time, when I was little, I was the most popular kid there!

Flipping out

Today at the pool I did a flip. And when I did that flip, my Dad videotaped it so that I could prove that I did a flip off the diving board. The second to last time I did it, I almost hit my head on the diving board and broke my head. I did 5 flips. I learned how to do flips yesterday. Today the last flip I did, I hurt my back very badly. My back turned red. Check out my video to see if I actually did a flip.

Snapper Turtle

We were driving to North Star. That is where I go to school. And on the way there my Mom said, "look, look there is a turtle in our neighborhood!" She stopped the car, and we all stepped out and got a look at the turtle. Mom took a picture of it. It was as big as my Mom's rim on her tires. We saw it one day and tomorrow it was there - she was laying her eggs. It was a snapper turtle. We touched it's shell on the first day it was so dirty because it lived in a river close by to the spot it was.

The Day I Was Born

When I was born, I had a huge head. It could not fit through my Mom's body, so they had to cut a hole in my Mom's stomach and before that when they tried to put it through my Mom's body, my head got squished. And when they finally got out, I did not breath at all. So they put a tube down my throat and used a bag that was filled with air and squeezed it so that air would get into my body. When I finally started breathing, my Mom was relieved. This happened on april 2nd 2003.
