A Day at Marbles
Andrew: I liked to play in the peas and carrots and I liked to play hockey and I liked to play on the trampoline and the exercise bike. I liked to play a game downstairs about dress-ups. I liked to dress-up like a knight and the pirate ship. I liked the telephone box too.
Lucy: The water play are was fun. I liked the pirate ship because you could pull up the anchor. We went to World Trek and stamped our passports. I liked the post office because you could pretend that you were mail workers and carry packages and letters. I liked the hockey rink and the obstacle course, the rock wall and the peas and carrots pit. :)
Peter: I liked the Power 2 Play place where there was a hockey rink where you skate on socks, an obstacle course to go under & over things, some exercise bikes to make stuff connected to the top of the bike spin, & last but not least the the foam carrots & the plastic peas pit to play in. I had a good time. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) (in the pic I'm stage crew)

Peter: Monday we went to the White Oak Park. It is an average-sized park with a lot of fun things to do. You can play basketball, field hockey, soccer & about any sport with a field. We met a dog named Oreo that was taking a 7 mile walk w/her owner. There is a lot of concrete to ride bikes on. I had a good time. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Track Out Adventures-Day 2
Lucy: We were on a hike. I saw a bird's nest, a toad hole (and the toad), & a snake (we think it was a corn snake). We had a picnic on a giant rock. We did it with our friends. I thought it was fun. ;)
Peter: Well,my foot was KILLING me so I had a hard time through the hike. I also hurt my other foot on the hike & that was not pleasant. Oh, and the snake we saw MIGHT be a copperhead. UH OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
Peter & Lucy: Our dad put together a model rocket that had no top. We went to the park like everything would be okay. It turns out that when we were standing far away & our dad launched it, the rocket landed over by Lucy. Everyone is okay though. :)

Track Out Adventures-Day 1
Today was the first REAL day of track out. This means that we have 3 weeks off of school. We feel really happy. We really want to see our family, especially our cousins. We will have to wait until the summer track out.
Lucy: My favorite part of the day was losing my 5th tooth. It was at dinnertime. It did not bleed like my other ones. I hope to get something from the tooth fairy - I want ten dollars. I think I will get it. Look for a picture of my toothless smile.
Peter: I had x-rays for my foot. That is because friday I was on my friends zipline & you have a tree to stop yourself by putting your foot out. When I did that my foot came up at a BAD angle and I got hurt. I thought it would get better & is just a bruise. Apparently it did not get better in 3 days so I had to have x-rays. It turns out it's just a not so good bruise. :)
