Summer

Over the summer, I did a lot more than I posted about. My uncle moved from Pennsylvania to here. With him, we hiked Multnomah Falls, went to the Zoo, touched the end of the ape caves, stayed at the beach several times and stayed at the Lewis River along with relaxing with him. After about two months, he left for a year long trip to Laos.

I attended boy scout camp in Idaho and pulled several "G's" at Silverwood. We went to the fair almost every day and rode lots of rides. Staying on Mt. hood was fun also. We have finished laying floor and our grass grows taller every day. School has started and our relaxing break is over, but we accomplished a lot and enjoyed summer.

Here is me, mom, Emma and Berk with tucker at Multnomah Falls.

Here we are at the Zoo.

Here we are in the ape caves.


The beach was a lot of fun.

I love the Lewis River.

While hiking to Timberline, there were some amazing views.

We got to ride our bikes a lot, which I enjoy to do.

Grit '08

On June 29th, I left for Grit at Island Lake Camp.

With Motto-X, a high ropes course and paintball, I had a blast.

During our seven hours of free time, we could swim, boat, skateboard,

roller blade, play carpet bowl and...... Blob!

Even with all those activities, I had time to sleep.

I was lucky enough to get put on Tom's team, yellow, and we completely

crushed the other three teams. My dad came to lead the 9th graders

and my uncle led my group until my regular leader arrived.

In comp, my dad's green team came in 4th place, but he still had fun.

He became friends with his group and led one to Christ.

Overall, 12 kids became Christians and 23 were baptized.

On Wednesday night, we all brought pillows to the church area

and had communion while worshipping for about 3 hours.

I got to grow in Christ while having lots of fun.

Go Grit!
