One of our field trips in our school bus was to a Dino Dig. I had a great time because there were lots of dinosaur bones. I even recognized some them! I recognized a Stegosaurus, a T-Rex, and some of the great Saurapods (those are the long-necked dinosaurs). There were paleontologists that were Christians and they told us how dinosaurs fit into the bible, which is nice because we get to know truth, instead of all those thoughts that dinosaur bones are millions and billions of years old. Our earth is only 5000 years old! The Paleontologists even let us dig. I got to use a tool that’s really good for finding the spot where dinosaur bones are buried – it’s called a bone-detector. We found lots of dinosaur bones. One of the dinosaur bones we didn’t know what it was, but the paleontologist knew – it was a Pachyrhinosaur skeleton. Before we left, the paleontologists let us bring back the skeleton that we uncovered. When we left, we realized that our teacher had been at a different part of the dig site and hadn’t seen all of the work that we’d done so we told her all about it. You should go on a Dino dig. It’s great!

I had a lot of fun at the stampede. There were a lot of pancakes and I ate some of them. I ate a lot of syrup with those pancakes! We also had cotton candy, which was super duper great, I mean, who wouldn’t like colored cotton fluff? We saw Chinese dragons with the acrobats in the theatre. One acrobat even stacked chairs really high and balanced and climbed them, and the bottom of those chairs was balanced on long-necked bottles on a table. Know what I thought about that? Not many people can do that! What if those bottles break? We rode the C-train to the Stampede, which I thought would be fun, but I didn’t know that it would be so squishy in there. We could hardly fit our stroller. But it was fun when we rode back because I got to sit down and look out the window and my brother got a seat, too. I had a pretty fun time at the Stampede. So did Gabe.

Nathan had a toothache because his tooth was so loose. He couldn’t sleep because of the ache.

“Dad, my tooth hurts. Can I try to get it out?”
“Sure, get a kleenex.”
“Dad, don’t pull it out. I want to pull my own tooth out.”
“OK.”

Nathan pulled for almost an hour, and Mom thought he was staying up too long, so she said, “Go back to bed, Nathan.”

Later that night, when his Mom & Dad were sleeping, Nathan crept quietly into the bathroom, got a kleenex, and slipped back into bed. He started to pull and wiggle at his loose tooth, but it still wouldn’t come out.

In the morning, Nathan wiggled and wiggled and pulled and pulled, and this time he pulled it out! When he showed his Mom & Dad, they were very happy.

Mom said, “How did you pull your tooth without crying?”
Nathan smiled and left Mom & Dad to figure it out.

Nathan sure is brave!

Once upon a time, Pooh went, “Hey, Rabbit! Look at that baby elephant with such big ears.” Then Rabbit said, “That’s not any regular elephant, it’s Dumbo.” Then they saw Dumbo start flying. Then Pooh said, “You’re right, Rabbit, it isn’t any ordinary elephant.” Then Rabbit said, “I said regular, not ordinary.”

Then Dumbo landed right on top of a tree frog in a tree and the frog said, “Hey, Dumbo! If you don’t get off of me, I’ll hop you off!” Dumbo wouldn’t get off because he couldn’t see the frog, so the frog hopped him off and Dumbo fell down the tree. Rabbit laughed, “He didn’t have enough time to fly!” Pooh screamed, “Oooww!” because Dumbo landed right on top of Pooh.

Once Dumbo got off, Pooh said, “You know what, Rabbit? I don’t think I want to see that elephant again.” “Alright, I’ll bring you to a place where Dumbo never goes.” And he brought Pooh back home to his house.

The end.
