I have a recipece called pizza burrito, all you need to make it is torta wraps,   cheese, pepperoni and salsa. Put the cheese and pepperoni on the wrap, put it in the microwave for 30 seconds or a minute the put the salsa on it and enjoy.

Aiden's Roller Coaster

 Lately Aiden has been building a roller coaster out of Knex ever since we got back from Cedar Point in Cleveland, Ohio.  Aiden has the frame he just is putting on the track. He has been working on it for a month now. Aiden is calling his roller coaster the Torcher Run.

My Garden

This week for school I planted a garden. My garden has a lot of dusty miller in it. Dusty miller is a plant that looks like it has dust on it. I have to water my plants every single day. I planted them on Tuesday which was the first day I went to volunteer.

The Painted Pot

When I went to help out at the Painted Pot there was a summer camp going on call mad about mud. I help roll out clay wash out brushes and fill paint bottles. The camp made pencil holders, plates and vases on the pottery wheel when I wasn't doing anything she had me do the things the camp was doing.  I had so much fun and i'm going to help again on Friday.

The Carpenter Week

Last year we went to Michigan for our family vacation, but this year we will have it here in O’Fallon. This year we are going to have a road rally, which is a big scavenger hunt in the car. We will swim in the lake, sleep in a tent, and have a bonfire. One of the days we were going to Six Flags. It will be so fun! At Six Flags I have never ridden Batman but this year I will. We may even go bowling? Who knows? Anyway I can’t wait to see all my family. 

Camp Ondesank

This summer I will be going to camp Ondesank, it is at Shawnee national forest in Illinois it is a weeklong. I will be doing riflelery, archery, horseback riding, hiking and swimming in a lake. I will get too sleep in a tree house! It will be so fun! There will be a bunch of bonfires. I will make some friends. I think of it as a birthday present from me to me. My birthday is at the end of July and I go to camp on the very last day of July! I can’t wait to go!

The Painted Pot

On  Tuesday Wednesday,  June 21 and 22 I will be helping out at the Painted Pot. The Painted Pot is a place were you go and paint plates and cups and other stuff like that then they'll fire it in the kiln and you get it back. I had to fill out a job application so I could help out there. That means I filled out my first job application at nine years old! We go to the Painted Pot sometimes to paint stuff. When I go to help there will be a pottery wheel class. I have no idea what I will do to help. I can't wait!

Cleveland

On Wednesday, May 25 we went to Cleveland, Ohio.  We had a scavenger hunt for our lunch and went to the pool every day. We went to farmers market and I bought some earrings for $10.  They had little sea horses on them. When we were at Cedar Point, the amusement park, we realized that we could ride every ride there. There is  a ride called thunder canyon were there are a bunch of waterfalls and you are in a raft and you go under them, we went on it twice and Aiden never got soaked. So on the second ride Aiden sat next to Grandpa who had gotten soaked  the first time and his bad luck overpowered Aiden's good luck and a waterfall soaked Grandpa and not Aiden.
