Mooselookmeguntic

Every year we go to Mooselookmeguntic. It's a camping place on Mooselookmeguntic Lake. We usually canoe to the island to get to our camping spot. It's usually a long trip and the canoe is always so full with our luggage. Sometimes it even takes us two trips! At the camping spot, we set up. Then me and Emma usually go for a swim in the lake if it's a nice day. The lake is so cool! We also have this other small island we go to. Well first, let me tell you the story of this island. One year my Dad left his glasses in the campground office. They sent them back to us and instead of saying to the "Woodheads", they said to the "Woodbrands". So that's how the island got its' name, Woodbrand Island. Every year we canoe out to Woodbrand Island from our campsite. Once we're there, we explore a little bit to see what's changed from the last year. Then we go swimming. Jumping off the rocks is our favorite thing to do.

We like to go fishing at Mooselook too. Sometimes we sit on the rocks, sometimes we go in the boat. We usually do it in the evening.

Sadie always comes with us to Mooselook. She loves swimming and scoping out the area. When we're fishing she likes to try and get the bobber. Then for the rest of the night she's obsessed with trying to get in the water and find it. But once it's time for her to eat, she totally forgets about it.

At some point on the trip we go hiking. We usually try something different every year.

I've been going to Mooselook since I was three. I always look forward to our trip!

Peaks Island Colonial Camp

Last summer I went to a Colonial camp on Peaks Island. Every day we'd get on the ferry with our friend Mazie and ride to Peaks Island. There we would walk to the teacher's house. They had chickens, a bunny, and a dog with blue eyes named Wallace. The teacher had three or four rows of peas in the front yard and before class we ate the peas! She also had a real outdoor clay oven. Every day we made bread to bake in the oven. She had an old-fashioned cookpot hanging over a fire. We made soup in it every day. Each day a different group would do the many jobs, like bread-making, fire-watching, soup-making or biscuit-making. We even made clover tea! After we did the cooking, we'd make crafts from colonial times like baskets, rope, aprons, and candles. On rainy days we'd have to spend some time in the house working on our projects.



I loved doing the candles and the cooking. The basket making was pretty fun but quite difficult. The last day you could bring family members to Peaks Island. We made a nice feast for everyone. We made biscuits, a chicken soup, a veggie soup, and clover tea. We also made fruit leather and spice cake. It was the best and only camp I've ever done!

Plants!!

poem

Stallion's Storm
The rain patters
on the black form
lying in the field.
it slowly stands up
and gallops away.
Fearless and brave,
heading towards
the slowly rising sun.

I am going to Old Navy with my dad on Saturday. I can't wait! I have an Old Navy gift card to spend from my last B-day.

Bad Cat!

This morning I had cornflakes for breakfast, then we heard something. It turned out to be nothing, but when I sat down to finish eating breakfast, my cat had sat down and started eating my breakfast instead!!!! Mitty is a very bad cat!

Random Stuff

Finally my pansies sprouted!!! Only one sprouted, but one is better than none. I also planted Asters, Sweet Peas, and purple Alyssum. Those have all sprouted.

My Easter was awesome! We did an awesome jelly bean hunt at our house when we woke up. Then we went to my Aunt's house and had an Easter lunch. In the afternoon, we went to my grandparents who live in Old Orchard by the beach. We went on the beach for a little with my two cousins. We found some cool drift wood. It looked like a ship wreck had just happened there was so much of it!
