Reading Awards

I went to school today. And today was reading awards day and I read like 1,000 books. About half way through my mom stopped writing my books down and sending them in, so on my award it says I read 545 books this year. I read the most books in the whole entire first grade. I read all my Magic Tree House books over and over again, and now I started reading the Harry Potter books. I'm on book 3. The books have more information than the movies, and the books don't have what the movie had sometimes. Because I read one of the Harry Potter books and it said that Harry Potter bought three strawberry ice creams and it doesn't show that in the movie. It's just not fair. I wish the movie had all the stuff from the books. I'm going to read 1 through 7. The end. Good-bye, good-bye.

Campout

Yesterday we went on a campout and came home today. My friend Nathan came with us. First we went to Burger King and we got iron man toys. When we got to the campsite we found sticks and we build pyramids of ancient Egypt, and I built the Sphynx, of course. And we pretended we were big giants and we were destroying Egypt that we made, and we were trying to get the gold. Then we went over to a sand pit and we pretended it was a monster and we pretended the sand was money too, so then we started killing the robot so we could get the money and we didn't want him around anyway. It became night time went to a fire pit and King Moroni talked to us and so did Joseph Smith. But they were just people dressed in costumes that looked like the people but they weren't the people. Moroni said the last line of the Pledge of Allegiance was very important. With liberty and justice for all. He talked to us and then Joseph Smith did and it was on a microphone. He talked about how he translated the Book of Mormon and it is full of important doctirnes. He told us we should make our own Title of Liberty. We went back to the tent and then we made s'moores. I got 2 but I wanted 10. We found a turtle the next day with Brennan and Connor and this other 12 year old boy, I don't know his name. We found some people making a home for him and it was a western box turtle and it couldn't swim. Then we did some activities and came home. The end.
