My big adventure

My big adventure was lots of fun, because I found tons of things like poison ivy, trees, squirrels, grass, wasps, bunnies, and a lot of stuff. That was because of my dad. He likes to go on bike rides and walks, and my mom came with us. After that, we were all sweaty so we had to take showers. Of course, my dad went last. On our adventure, we saw a creek. This was the same creek that we saw on my last adventure that you might have read about already. But this was another time, so we had lots of fun.

Back to school year

There are a lot of students coming in schools to go to Kindergarten. Soon, they will get up to first grade. There are over a thousand kids in my school. We have something called announcement so we can get ready for the school day and not be lazy, of course. Make sure to get scissors and all of the materials that you need.

Pizza that was bigger than me

Last Friday, we went to Russo's in Pflugerville. We ate dinner there. And then I ordered pizza. I thought it was going to be a normal size, but it was HUGE. When I got it I was like "Whoa, that's a big pizza!" My dad said it was way bigger than me. I ate most of it and then I got to eat frozen yogurt at Froyo for dessert.

My first week of school

Last week was my first week of fourth grade. The first day was on Tuesday and it was exciting. I was nervous the night before and in the morning when I got to school. My parents dropped me and Peyton off. My sister is in second grade. My first week was a lot of fun. I am going learn a lot this year.

Peyton's Brushy Creek Adventure

Today my family went in a walk with the dogs. I was on my scooter. You can see a picture of it on my blog.

First, we went to a trail and saw a creek with a pond. Beaux jumped into the water and got wet.

Then, we went to another trail and had to stop at a bridge because the trail isn't finished. 

Then we went to another trail and climbed down to Brushy Creek. My dad saw a turtle and I saw a huge bird.

I climbed on some rocks across the creek and Beaux jumped in so he can cool off. He stayed in the water for a long time.

Then we saw some baby frogs that were the size of rolly pollies. There were ten of them jumping to the creek. I caught two of them, but then we let them go because my dad told me to. Once I let them go, I realized that we should leave them there so they baby frogs can turn into real frogs.

I wish we lived on the creek, because it is hot to ride my scooter there. You can find big frogs and little frogs and rolly pollies and butterflies and ants and turtles and big birds. I would add it to the list of best things that have ever happened to me.

Peyton's lost tooth

Peyton lost her tooth tonight. She lost it at the right time, the night before school starts. She tripped over Beaux and fell on the floor, knocking her tooth loose. Now she is missing both of her front teeth, and she looks really cute.

Summer fun collecting crystals and shells

Did you have a great summer? I did. This summer, I swam on the Fast Frogs swim team and we went to San Antonio, Arkansas, Chicago, and Grand Cayman. We collected lots of crystals in Arkansas and shells at Grand Cayman. 

In Arkansas, we went to a crystal mine before we went on a lake. We found quartz crystals in the mine and we found some on islands at the lake too. My favorite crystal was one that I sold to a friend for $9. It was clear and pointy and it was very big.

We collected a lot of shells on the beach in Grand Cayman. The shells were all sorts of colors and designs. They were white, brown, and yellow. My dad found a big clamshell for me and my sister when he was snorkeling.
