                                     what were you?

cleo and casper

We went to That Pet Place and went to look at the cats. We saw cats we wanted but they were either grouches or didn't like kids. So we finally found a cat we liked. Her name was Cleo.  We also saw her brother Casper but we visited with both and got Cleo but adoption time was closed. So we kept Cleo overnight at the pet place. But when Gray and I fell asleep my parents talked about getting both. Cleo was the active one and Casper was then shy one. We were so happy that we had adopted both.

                                                        PEACE  ELLIE

my grandma's pool

Hi my name is grayson. i am a little new to this. my first talent ever was jumping off the diving board.  Now I'm not scared to jump off the diving board.  I used to be scared to jump off the diving board.  Me and Ellie like to play on the diving board and do tricks like we call something and then we walk the diving board.  When we get to the tippytop of the diving board, we jump off.  -gray

We went to dutch wonderland!

Hi everyone. On Wednesday we went to dutch wonderland. We went on the frog hopper, The turn pike and me and gray got to drive. I went with our mom and gray went with our dad. We went on the swings. We went on the turtle whirl, the slide, a ferris wheel, the twister, monster trucks, the pandas, and The carousel but my favorite ride of all was the frog hopper. It was so exciting!!! Even my parents went on it. Me and gray got to stay on like 4 times on the frog hopper because of the lines. I got to go so see you later. Ellie

Home Movie Mania!

Grab your popcorn!!!  Today me, my brother and my dad made a movie. It was about (me) a girl whose dad went to the hospital.Gray was the dad. And my dad was the filmer. We also watched movies from when me and my brother were little. We were so cute back then!

Kayaking on the Susquehanna

Today I got to kayak for a second time with my good neighbor Bruce.  He is very generous in inviting me to go along with him on kayaking trips and teaching me the ways of the water!   Thanks, Bruce!  Amy and the kids had a very special day too--Nanny took Ellie to get her nails done, Grayson to get a Build-a-Bear, and then all three of them for lunch.  We finished the day off by visiting with our good neighbor Sammy.  Awesome summer day!

Tech camp

Hi,
June 20 to 23 I had tech camp! It was so much fun. Me and my friends got to make a movie. My friends Gracyn, Ashaylah, me, Morgan, and our friend Owen made a movie together. The movie was about how me and my best friend Makenzie had to babysit our little brother and sister and we wanted to go to the school and we went and had fun than we were about to go, but we accidentally left the kids behind. Oops!  So we went back the next day and found them tied up. We went to untie them and a vampire started chasing us and we all got bitten! ahh! the end. It was so much fun!

Peace.

Dog Sitting Bailey!

This summer we got to watch Bailey, a miniature Terrier that belongs to friends of ours.  The picture above was taken at the Lancaster County Park's Garden of Five Senses.  We all had a fun time, especially Bailey, who seemed right at home on some of the trails.  We loved our time with Bailey and hope to see her again soon!
