A Second Grader's Weekly Update

My summer

This summer was awesome!

I went  to Hershey  Park. This summer  was my first time on the tidal force.  It was also my first time to spend  the whole day at the boardwalk.  This year I was tall enough to ride some roller coasters, like the Wildcat and Wild Mouse.

While mom was working, I went to summer camp for a few weeks.  I swam  at Penn Colonial Swim Club.  My class went on a field trip to Gifford  Pinchot park.  We also went bowling twice.  Other places came to my summer camp, like Zoo America and the Popcorn Hat Players.

I did Science Sundays with dad.  We made a water  bottle rocket.  We made a piano out of bananas using a Makey Makey board.  Dad and I programmed games with scratch, a programming language.

Grammy visited us for 1 1/2 weeks.  I went to afternoon tea with Grammy, grandma, and mom.  I went to the ice cream  social with her and my whole family.  We went on a picnic at City Island and rode the Pride of the Susquehanna. It`s a really big paddle wheel riverboat.

My family visited  Gettysburg battlefield.  I saw lots of monuments.  I saw and climbed on the rock at Devil’s Den.  I got a map of the battlefield, a patch, and a couple books.

This summer, I had a couple special achievements.  I played piano at church in the sanctuary for the first time ever.  I also learned how to ride my bike without training wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish it would never end!

    Wow Declan, you have done more fun stuff in one summer than I have done in the last 5 summers! You should try to slip in one last funday trip to Knoebels, just don’t forget get to remind your parents that Knoebels has free parking and free admission 🙂 Next summer you should come visit Texas!
