Looking forward to football

by Roy


I am really excited about football because I am on my brother’s team Last year we were on different teams, but we didn’t have to play each other.

I don’t know who our coach is yet. Last year Dad helped but he cannot this year. I am aggravated because he isn’t. He either doesn’t want to or he is getting too old or he didn’t sign up.

If my games are on the weekend, then Dad and Tamira will both get to come. Dad works away in places like Missouri and Louisiana during the week. I hate him being gone. So on the weekend I am glad to see him.

My football games start in September. I might even have a game on my birthday because my birthday is on September 2nd. I might even play Cade and his brother, Cooper. I might even be on Cade’s team!

Having fun in Branson

by Mandi

Last summer I went to Branson and had a lot of fun. I went to White Water in Branson and went in the Lazy River. My sister and dad went on the Big Swing. My mom and I went to the playground with water guns. People on the other side were shooting water. My favorite part was the slides.

Sea World: A whale as big as this room

by Jaden

Two years ago my family and I lived in San Antonio, TX because Dad was stationed at the Air Force Base there. While we were there one of my favorite things we did was go to Sea World. Sea World is an amusement park with animals that mostly live in water and rides for people. We went one hot evening in the summer and stayed for about 3 hours. We had fun even though it was crowded, One show was the Shamu Show where 2 orca whales did tricks. One of them was almost as big as this room. It lasted about an hour and was Blake’s favorite. We went only one time but I still remember it. I smile when I think of it.
