Up, Up, and Away!

I had a lot of fun at Space Camp.  I went on a lot of simulators.  My favorite was the Space Shot.  It is one of those rides that you go up and down.  You go 100 feet into the air!  They also had a G4 simulator.  It spins you around super fast and you feel four times heavier.  They had an IMAX movie, a rock climbing wall, and a Mars Rover simulator.  The IMAX movie was about the Hubble Space telescope and its history.  The rock climbing wall was very hard and the rover simulator was super cool.  I had lots of fun with my Cub Scout Pack.

I also got my 2nd degree black belt recommended.  It was hard but I got it. It took four tries to break my board.  You are only supposed to get three tries but one of them didn't count so I passed.  I had a lot of fun.

What did you do that was fun this week?

Barbeque

Have you ever had only five hours of sleep?  Well, I have and it happened when I went to a barbeque contest with my dad.  I got checked out by my dad at 1:00 from school.  We were running really behind said my dad as we were going home.  We packed up very fast and we left at 3:30.

We had to stop by Mr. Bryan's house to pick up cots. As we were going there, our hot ash can's lid flew off in the middle of the road.  We picked up the cots and we came back to the road to get the lid.  Thankfully it wasn't busted too much.  We got to the contest at 5:00.

As my dad was preparing meat, Aida, my cousin, and I were running around and picking up things to help Aunt Heather.  The day flew by and Aunt Heather let me sleep on the floor in her hotel room.  It was much better than sleeping on a cot and getting wind burnt in the freezing weather.

On Saturday, Aida and I were groing around picking up things once again.  Also I jumped in a bounce house 'til the awards ceremony.  My dad didn't do any better than last contest.  The whole point coming here was to do better.  I had lots of fun though.  What did you do that was very fun or exciting this week?
