If I were an animal

If I were an animal then I would be a eagle because you could fly and people would not be aloud to kill you unlike some animals.  I would live with a trainer at the zoo and be fed by people.  It would be on presidents day because he likes eagles. 

The Boy and The Storm

It was a captivating day in April 1906.  Joyfully, a dark-haired boy was flying his kite at the Golden Gate Park.  He looked at the picnic area where his glove and half eaten sandwich were.  It was a nice day out and his family had decided to go to the park.  The flowers smelled like ketchup packets and he could hear harmonic hummingbirds as they were taking their nectar.  He saw some closely quaking dark clouds in the distance.  It was a nice day and he was not expecting a storm.  He was expecting charming butterflies, which would have made his day even better.  He wondered if he might get struck by lightning.  He felt really scared.

“I feel scared,” he softly exclaimed.

 

The boy got lifted off the ground from the whirling wind with his kite.  The ground, which opened up, broke all the homes in half.  The homes fell, created friction and started fires.  The lighting from the storm was also starting fires and the fire was burning homes to the ground.

 “This is horrible,” the boy loudly cried. 

From high up he could see all the homes and people from the sky. He thought it was the end of the world. Sadly, lots of lives were lost.  It was a bad day.

 

The boy finally landed but he landed in a tree. He saw a nest. Carefully, he got down, which took him about 5 minutes. He saw that the fire was getting closer so he ran for the hills, which was the only place that was safe. Lots of people were on the hills to. After all the fires were out, everyone set up tents. He stayed in one with his uncle and sister. His mom and dad were in another tent. They stayed there for about 4 years until the buildings were rebuilt. When they were rebuilt, they walked to the park and he flew his wonderful kite again.  It was scary.  It wasn’t fun.  It was sad.

Time with my Dad

I have a super fun time at the Fathers and Sons campout.  We like to go up into the woods and look for stuff and lizards.  One time we went so far that we went out of the campsite.  I told Joey and Denver, our friends, that if you hear rattling to walk back and tell us.  When we got back it was almost the talking thing that we were supposed to do.  After that I had some S'mores.  All I did was roast them and eat them.  I put them on fire to roast them.  They were delicious!  This year I'm going to do the same thing and make some S'mores. 
Joey found a giant centipede about half a size of a foot.  He caught three newts.  Those are like lizards that live in the water.  They are orange.  There was one big one and two smalls. 

Bow and Arrow

Dad bought the bow at a sports center. I like shooting the bow and arrow. I got below the 50. It was cool. Ethan and I were shooting a picture of an enemy holding a gun. We had to miss the picture of the girl.

I can go hunting with my bow and arrow. I can shoot a bunny for dinner....maybe.

Never point the bow and arrow at a person. Always put the arrow on right. Always stand back from your target because the arrow might bounce back at you.
