September Returns

Welcome Back!

Well, the summer is winding down, the temps are cooling off a little and the yellow vehicles clog the road again.  Back to school sales seem to start earlier each year.  We were still in the middle of summer school when I noticed the first of the ads running on television.  I used to look forward to school because it meant clean, new notebooks, a new backpack, fresh pencils and other supplies.  Of course, in the last few weeks of summer, I always rethought that excitement and while it meant a new class or perhaps new friends, it also meant I was almost out of free time and back to a routine of schoolwork and early alarm clocks.  Still, I squeezed all I could out of those last few weeks and had as much fun as I could.

I saw many of you during summer school, but some I did not.  Tell me (and all the other readers) about your summer time fun!  What did you do this summer after summer school ended.  If you thought summer school was fun, tell us what your favorite parts were and why?  Personally, I liked the bowling and movies (I never got to the pool) and also had fun looking through the reading program materials you all used.  I know some of you loved the kickball games.
  If you didn't join us for the great time most of us had, tell us about what you DID instead this summer.

Most importantly, welcome back and it's great to see you all!

    I went to Florida with my friends and we went to Disney Land. We went on A tall, tall slide that had a pool at the end of the slide. When I was sliding down I flew on the adult side and almost died. I had to swim back to the other side fast or I would have died.

    On my summer vacation I went to Puerto Rico. I jumped off a waterfall at El Juncal. I also jumped off a bridge into the water. (Note PR ocean water is mad salty) I went snorkeling, the water was so clear I took a picture of my sister and mom in it and it looks like they where in a pool. I hiked up El Juncal Mountain. I swam at the beach, and on my free time I played on my XBOX 360, and before we left I went to visit my dad’s relatives, his brother and two sisters. Then I went home and back to work.

    This summer I played Halo 3. I beat the grunts. I also beat the arbiter. I beat the game. It took me three days to complete the whole game. I liked Halo 3 better than the other Halo games. I played Left 4 Dead. I defeated the tank, the strongest zombie in the game. I made lobby games for my friends. I played as infected for 4 hours. I played as a spitter, tank, and hunter. I played Halo 1. It took me a week to beat it.
    I went to summer school. My favorite thing was swimming and going to the movies once a week. I was on the Red Devils kickball team. They were the worst team in the league. I didn’t like playing kickball. I liked bowling as well.
