S.A.M (Secret Agent Megan)

It was a normal day at headquarters–that means very loud!!

I decided to get some tea so I walked over to Andrea. Andrea makes very good tea. Because she is very tall I looked up at her with my big blue eyes that she just can’t resist! And I asked “pleeeeese”!  Andrea gave me some tea “yum”!

After the tea I went for a walk. I decided to go to one of my favorite places a tree that was tapped! I wanted a drink so I took the lid off and put the tube in my mouth. That is when I saw that the bucket was empty!

Last time I went to that tree the bucket was full. That means I needed to solve a case! Continue reading S.A.M (Secret Agent Megan)

The MANnequin news

Amateur photographer gets photo of attempted murder!

DR  C.T Dummy was seriously injured when bungee jumping off Banister Cliff last night.

An amateur photographer who was coming to get photos of the bungee jump meet saw it happen. She says; “I was practicing to get some good shots of my favorite jumper, Jumping Jack Nimble, when I noticed the scissors! I yelled for Policeman Boy Blue and he sounded the horn from there.”

Boy Blue says ; “I was trying to get the cows out of the cornfield when I heard  the photographer yell.  I ran over and saw Mr C.T Dummy running away from the scene of the crime. I called  for backup but we could not find him.”

The suspect was last seen on Banister Cliff last night. He is just under 5″ tall, bald and has crash test symbols all over him. If you see him notify authorizes immediately.

DR C.T Dummy will be ok but will be hospitalized for days.

Sap Update

The reason we started collecting sap already, is because the temperature warms up at day time and freezes at night. Unfortunately, the temperature is staying low so we are not getting as much sap.   Once buds get on the tree the sap tastes woodsy. The best kind of maple tree is Sugar Maple because it has the highest sugar content. So you do not need to boil as long to get syrup.

We have thirteen gallons of sap so far. We only have enough storage for fifteen gallons, so we are trying to collect some large 2-5 gallon food buckets (with lids) that we can have free.  Milk jugs work, but the large buckets work better. If you know of a place to get some (or collect them for me) I would really appreciate it!
Thanks! 🙂

                                                                                    

Hula Hoop Contest

When we were at the Kalahari,  Daddy treated us to a restaurant called The Reserve.  They had contests, like picture drawing. Everyone got a prize.

There was also a Limbo Contest.  Megan would have been good at it if she wold not go on her hands.

There was a Hula Hoop Contest. Audrey and I tied, so we had to have a tie breaker. I won and Audrey got second place!  The prize was a “game card” for the “noisy-obnoxious-why-do-they- have- it” arcade and a cows tail. We did bowling for the game. It was the only thing that was not noisy or obnoxious and it was the one thing we were allowed to do. It was fun.

Going to the Kalahari

Today, we are going to the  Kalahari. It is  not only a desert it is also a waterpark in Ohio. A few years ago we went there with the Omars. This time it is a unschoolers waterpark gathering.

At the waterpark there is a lot of fun rides like you could learn to Boogie Board. (On real water not carpet ). You could also do the Swahili Swirl as long as you did not do it with momma. There were other rides like the wave pool or lazy river but those were my  favorite.

The Leap

At camp, the Junior Highers got to do THE LEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was fun. To do it you

  1. got in the harness
  2. prayed with your councilor
  3. climbed
  4. and climbed
  5. and climbed
  6. and climbed
  7. got on to the platform
  8. and jumped!!!!
  9. If we wanted to, we could try to hit the red ball.

As I was climbing, I wished I had chosen the shorter Leap. When I got to the top, I was still wishing that. As soon as I got to the ground after jumping, I was glad that I did the big one.  Since the small ones were not so tall, they would not have been so much fun. I wish I could do it again. I would have gone for the ball!

 

Saturday Soccer Game

Every Saturday we have a soccer game. Andrea’s game is at 9:00, Audrey’s is at 10:00 and mine, David and Adrian’s games are at 11:00.

You are invited to come and watch us play.

Our first game we lost 🙁 . BUT we are playing the same team next week and the next and the… There are only two teams of my age group boys, so we play the same team every single week.

The final score was only 2-4.  Daddy said it was a good game. He does not like games with high scores, because the games are not evenly matched.

I think we have a good team this year. Daddy is my coach and my cousin David is on my team.
