For the last few days, I have been going to Summer Enrichment and it's been going really really fun.

My classes are Picture This - It's where you take pictures and you learn how to develop them with real film. And we're learning how to clean photographs if they have a scratch on them.

In French Culture, the first day we had to pick a name out of a plastic bag. The name you got is the name you have to use for the rest of the time. I got Claude Monet. I thought he looked boring at first until I read about him and he was an artist.

My last class is Structures where you learn about bridges. On the first day we made a bridge out of gum drops, marshmallows and toothpicks. On the second day we had to do a contest with 2 books and a piece of paper and see how much weight it could hold with chips, pennies and little tiles. It's been really fun so far.

Tomorrow we are going to Powell for a baseball tournament with my all stars team. I'm hoping we are going to win.

On July 4th after I went to church my sister got back from the Firecracker 4 mile walk/run. And it was raining all morning. But then it cleared up. I was convincing my dad to buy us fireworks and he said he'll think about it. And then he said yes.

So we did them in our backyard. We bought some firecrackers, smoke bombs, glow worms, and sparklers. But the most coolest one was the train because it made a loud whistling noise and went forward and then stopped and made smoke come from the smoke stack. After that we went to the fireworks at the Camplex. It was freezing cold. It was about 56 degrees. But they were really really pretty and cool. After that we went to bed...tired.

Today I saw Avatar the Last Airbender at the movie theater with my dad. After that we went to the baseball fields and threw the ball and practiced on hitting. When I got home I was so obsessed with the movie Avatar the Last Airbender that I started to google how to bend water, earth, fire and air. It didn't work out as I planned because I wanted to get on this one thing that you had to have your parent's email address, a password, when they were born and stuff like that. I was so close to getting on there, but they said NO. They said no because airbending and waterbending and all that stuff is not true. I still think it is though.

Tomorrow we might get some fireworks and go out in the country at our friend's and light them. That's all I have to say.

So far, baseball has been going good. We got pretty far in our tournament, but in the last game to go to the championship we lost by 1 point. I was upset, but the good part is I still get to play baseball because I made the All-Star team! And I'm going to Powell, Wyoming for a few days for some games. After that I'm going to Riverton, Wyoming for our state tournament.

I went to Kinderkamp this week (German camp). I learned a lot of different words, and today was our last day for kinderkamp.

I signed up for football. That won't be coming up for a while though. My dad doesn't want me to play because he broke his knee when he was playing football and he had to have surgery on it and it hurts every day. But I'm going to play anyway.

Tonight I'm going to the city tournament championship game because my dad is the ump for the game. (Even though WE'RE supposed be playing the championship game!) Tomorrow I might go swimming or watch a movie with my dad at the movie theater.
