The Rest of my Trip to Cape Cod

Hi! Here is a summary of what we did in the rest of our trip to Cape Cod.

We swam(of course) at... maybe three different beaches. Nothing really, really exciting happened except for when we found a dead blue fish floating around in the shallower water while we were swimming. Speaking of fish, one of the adults who was staying in the campsite next to us caught one and we had it for dinner. It was good! So we saw this huge fish that was huge and it was sort of gross cause it was dead, but at least it wasn't half dissected or anything. On the 2nd of July my family and I went to Provincetown. We ate at an awesome restaurant called Bubalas and I had clam chowder with oyster crackers and a bunch of my mom's delicious mussels in cream sauce. Then we met up with our friends and I got a totally awesome green with dark blue writing Cape Cod sweatshirt. We walked around more, I got a bunch of saltwater taffy, and we left. On the Fourth we went to a nice pizza restaurant and got pizza. Then we got really good ice cream and my dad, brother and I went to a random place to watch the fireworks. There was a cool one that was big, and at the last second it would sort of zig-zag in a different direction. The rest of our trip we just packed and swam, basically, and then drove home.

Cape Cod 2011 6-30-11

I sort of forget what we did on the 30th, but I will write what I remember.

I saw my friends at the other campground again. We swam and played in the playground there. I skinned my knee, but it wasn't too bad. My friend O and her family+older sister's friend arrived at the other campground that evening/night, and 3 out of 4 of our really long time family friends came to our campground that afternoon/evening(the mom, A, came the next day). We had a campfire with everyone and we ate s'mores and played Truth or Dare. That's all the important stuff I remember.

Cape Cod 2011 6-29-11

Although I already said a summary of what happened on the 29th and it was pretty much accurate, I will write a tiny bit more about it. Pretty much I was at my friends campsite and swam in the ocean for the first time this year. While at the ocean, we rescued a sand shark that beached itself. He got stuck in the current and got washed up onto a sandbar. It was really cool! The shark was about a foot and a half long, and it was barely alive, but my friend E's dad walked it out into the water. It was very heroic. Later I stayed at the other campsite with my friends and went to a semi-pro baseball game. E's brother got a foul ball! The final score was something like 5-1. The end.

Cape Cod 2011 6-28-11

Yesterday my family and I arrived in Cape Cod! We left our house for the multi-hour trip in the cramped car around noon. The car was sooo stuffed! We camp in tents, and we bring our own food and stuff, so basically we put items everywhere there was space. Watermelons behind your seat, towels and pillows in between my brother and I, shoes, buckets and backpacks in your lap, and occasionally something falling on your head like a lacrosse stick. It wasn't as bad as it sounds, though. We stopped for a late lunch/snack, to look at a car that my dad wanted to buy and to rent wetsuits and buy surfboard wax for my brother. In that order. Well, we got here and it was all happy because we've come to this campground once a year for such a long time. No seriously, like since before I was born. We pitched the two tents, set up the kitchen area, made our tents a bit more comfortable, and other things like that. Then my brother biked to the nearby beach and my mom and I followed shortly after that on our bikes with PB&Js for dinner. My dad didn't come because he was fast asleep. Also, he was a tiny bit mad at us because we didn't like the color of the car we looked at. It was white! Blindingly white. Actually, the color was called Candy White. So we had sandwiches on the beach and I caught some sand fleas after that. We biked back and eventually went to sleep. It's annoying, because I don't have a clock, so this morning I woke up really early, and the sun was starting to rise a tiny bit, so I figured it could be anytime between 5:00 and 6:30. I read, drew and biked around the campsite a bit, and now here I am at the computer, blogging. I expect that later in the day we might swim if it doesn't rain, and we probably will see our friends, who are staying at a different campground.

Random Writing Pieces I Made This Year

Here are some writing pieces I made in school...

Here are a couple freestyle poems.

Crashing Waves
The
foamy ocean waves
pounded strongly
against
large rugged rocks
while the
bright sunset shone
above them

Rainstorm
The
rain pours down
while the
large trees wave
and the
bright lightning
lights up
the wet village

Alright, here's a bunch of haikus. I like writing them a lot.

Wind
It's windy outside
Maples swaying in the breeze
Blowing in your hair

Sleepy Bears
Sleepy bear and cubs
Wake up from hibernation
Walking through thin snow

Hand Sanitizer (dedicated to the Nurse, who warned us about it)
There it is on shelf
"99 percent germs killed!"
Kills the good ones, too

Soccer
Running down the field
Dribbling the soccer ball
You pass, she shoots, score!

Tea
Just made homemade tea
With Anise Hyssop flowers
Smells like licorice

Jupiter
King of Roman Gods
My planet for school project
So interesting

These two were for the old principal, who got a new job.

Helped us very much
We can't ever repay him
Hard as we might try

Really awesome ties
Eiffel Tower, smiley face
Wears one every day

Alright, here's the grand finale of haikus.

Spring
Animals come out
From winter hibernation
Birds fly North from South

The snow is melting
Grass and flowers popping up
Colorful-not white

Making nice bouquets
Of daffodils and tulips
Many bright colors

Last Day of School 2011!

June 21st was my school's last day of school. It was a half day. Now I am an official-ish 6th grader! We cleaned out our desks and kept all our folders and things like that. Then we watched Jumanji, a movie about this board game that becomes real when you play it and you can only make the real things disappear once you get to the end of the game. For example, there is a monsoon in the old mansion that the main characters live in and a dozen monkeys create chaos in their kitchen-stuff like that. It's really cool and if you can, I recommend watching it. Then one of my best friends, who has been living in Costa Rica for half a year, came for the last hour or so and we saw her for the first time since she came back. It was really awesome. Then school was out and I went to a nearby lake with one of my friends. After a while we realized that we were at the wrong beach of that lake and other people must be at the other beach, so we went and found a couple friends. Sadly, I couldn't swim, because I had my stitches WHICH I JUST GOT REMOVED!!!!!!!! There were a LOT of people from my school there, especially people going into 5th and 6th grade. We stayed there for a long time, and then my dad came to pick me up for a soccer tryout that I had. We left and went to the tryout. I am 99.999% sure that I got onto the team because they were short a couple players. Anyways, I think I'd get on even if they had to eliminate a couple people. We went out for dinner and ice cream with a friend that tried out for the same team and another good friend who had to try out for a different age group. It was fun.
