Howdy Friends!!
Wow, I am so so so impressed with all the neat things you are doing this summer!! My puppies are excited to hear about all you are doing too!!!
Conrad, you have been a very busy boy and I am so impressed with all the neat things you are doing. The beach you went to sounds beautiful and the sand sounds magical! I went and saw the movie Up in 3D too. Did you like it? I thought it was really good!! Keep up the good work, Conrad, I'm so proud of you!!
Katherine, it sounds like you are having a great summer too!! The book you just finished sounded like a good one. Do you have another book ready to start? I would recommend getting into some Nancy Drew boys if you want a good mystery. I used to really like reading the Lemony Snicket books. Have you ever heard of those? I'm so proud of you for all the great reading you are doing and all the fun you are having!!
Wow, Ben, you are doing some really fun things this summer!! Have fun with all your traveling and make sure you take some good books along with you!!
Alex and Matthew, boy, are you guys having fun this summer too! Camp sounds really fun, Alex and Matthew, way to go with all the boogie boarding and fun in the water. Camp Crystal sounds really fun too. I've never been there. Do you think I should go? What do you do there? Keep up that great reading, Alex, I'm so proud of you!!!
Well guys, Mr. J and I had to change our plans so we didn't make it to the beach after all. We did lots of kayaking though!! We went to a beautiful state park called Rainbow Springs State Park. It was very pretty and we had a great time kayaking along the river. We actually saw two otters, a water snake and lots of great fish and birds. On the way back to the beginning of the river, we got caught in a bad rain storm. It was raining so hard that we couldn't see in front of us!! It started to stop and then I turned around to tell Mr. J that the rain wasn't too bad and it started again!!! It was even harder the second time and it almost flipped us out of our boat!!! The rain started to slow down again and I told Mr. J that I wasn't going to say anything about the rain this time and then it started to rain harder on us again!!! Can you believe that???? We got caught in the rain three times!!! All in all, we had a great time together this weekend and I can't wait for this next weekend!!!
Continue to have fun this summer, friends and thank you all for writing and keeping the blog going. I have so much fun writing with you and I'm so proud of everything you are doing. Keeping reading, writing and having fun!!
Love,
Mrs. J
