How was your summer? Was it filled with adventure? Or a little relaxation?
Take some time to think about your summer and find a time when you discovered something surprising. It could be a place, a thing, an event, an idea, or even something about yourself! Then, post a comment telling us about your experience… and how we could discover this surprising thing, too!!
In summer, I went to India and explored many things. The most important thing that I learned was that there was serious poverty. People would beg near famous places where lots of people would visit. My parents set up this program where on my birthday(July 20th) an organization would take in many poor people and feed them. It really was sad…. So if you ever visit India, you will see poverty very quickly.
That is sooo sad 🙁 but soo cool your parents did that program! 🙂
Thanks!
🙂
Wow! What an incredible experience. I would like to hear more about it. Think you could write a blog sometime about your trip and add some pictures, too?
Over this summer I learned I was a TERRIBLE bowler! I had my birthday at AMF lanes and it was cool except for the bowling my little cousin beat me and she is only SEVEN years old. She beat everyone! Then after my birthday me and my friend Crissy went bowling a couple of times I usually beat her but I knew she was just going easy on me. Anyways, if you want to discover this about your self go bowling…. without the bumpers!
This summer, I went to Wisconsin with my grandfather. We stayed with my cousins, uncle and aunt. In Wisconsin, we went to Summerfest. Summerfest is a festival with things for kids and adults. there is music, games and shops. They have a game in one of the shops that you have to jump on specific things. One was popcorn or fluff or something of that sort. My trip to Wisconsin was a surprise for me because my mom did not tell me until I looked at the calendar.
Well, I was surprised when BER143 came home from Wisconsin and we found out she had a buckle fracture in her left wrist after crashing her bike while jumping ramps with her cousins!
That’s really funny Mrs.Riffel! (:
I discovered that my parents are restaurant owners. About 7 years ago my grandparents owned a restaurant downtown. They had to close down but my parents are now opening back up. I had NO IDEA! They even went out looking for supplies in Orlando and I didn’t know. When I got home from soccer practice my mom and dad made a HUGE dinner! They then let out the good news. I was so shocked I SCREAMED! Now if you would ever want to know about my parents restaurant you may visit Tita’s Mexican Restaurant around December.
I’m so glad you told us about this! I definitely want to try out your parents’ restaurant!!
Over this summer I went to Busch Gardens and Sea World. It was very exciting and was filled with joy and laughter.This event was surprising because i had never known that we had ONE YEAR PASSES! You can do this bye going to Busch gardens and saying that they have one year passes and convince your parents to let you and them get a pass. this would be fun for you and our family because there are roller coasters,arcades,icecream and more it is very fun i hope you can do this.
This summer I went to Tennessee to visit my mom’s godmother. My family got to spend quality time together up in the mountains. I got to take a huge hike up and down the mountains. I also saw my dad’s cousin Joel and his two little girls, Macy and Abbey. The most surprising thing was Joel has two more baby boys from Ethiopia! Their names are Juda and Levi. Levi is the smallest one and Juda is one year older than Levi. They were the most adorable baby boys on the entire Earth. My brother and I played and played and played with the kids up until 11:00 at night! The two boys had the cutest laugh ever! Tennessee was the most awesome and surprising vacation in the world!
that was a good story
Great story. It sounds like you had a wonderful time!
My summer was kinda average it was mostly relaxing but a little bit of adventure. I went to Buschgardens and Seaworld. But my personal favorite is a aquatica. Aquatica was really wet and humid.But its not hot though.It was cloudy and the water was freezing but you get used to it after a while. I bet you what it feels and all but look at the links later. Buschgardens is hot man hotter than a tamale in the sun. Better go on a cloudy day . Seaworld is so breezy if its hot go close by the water and go to indoor attractions

The most surprising thing that happened this summer was that I went to a nascar race. It was really loud. The race cars were going by so fast you had to jerk your head back and forth just to see them. Joey logano won. My summer was awesome
I was going out to play soccer in my backyard.I was shooting and practicing drills than all of the sudden i saw a black racer about a foot long.(i am scared of snakes)I grabbed my soccer ball out of the goal and flat out ran into my house.I told my dad what happened and then i played Burnout Paradise on my Playstation Three.
My summer was surprising.I went to north carolina.When we were walk through the river it was cool, we hiked, climbed over rocks, but when we went through the river a snake did not notice me but it did notice my uncle it chased him and us .We ran across the river.We were laughing and scared at the same time. Are uncle took care of it but we kept are eyes peeled just in case there was more.It was so fun i would like to go back again.That was just one thrilling event theres lots of others to .
North Carolina is pretty. I haven’t seen a snake when I’ve been hiking, but I think it would give me a scare!
Tittle: flying trapeze Stratle whip Pennyroll By: ryan spivey
This summer in honesdale PAI created a trapeze trick I made it in a swimming pool with a noodle.I was practicing a trick called the penny roll(a trick when you do a knee hang pull your self up then flip off) while doing the pennyroll doing it when you flip off with your hands on the bar and legs apart. After that you fling off the bar body strait then get caught then you get dropped.
THE END
It’s neat how you know so much about the trapeze. Very unique!
Over the summer, my sister’s friend’s sister had a baby. Her name was Kaley, and she was very excited, but also kinda scared. She had never had a baby before. When she was about three or four months pregnant, she realized that she needed a god mother. She announced that she was looking for a god mother at a Girl Scout meeting, ignoring the gloating looks of some people that thought they were going to get picked. But, you know, none of them really did get picked, at least not at the meeting anyway.My sister had stayed home to finish her loads of homework. Then, one day Kaley had her baby shower. It was held at a really old-school themed resturant called the Back Porch. The had really good food, but they also had really small portions! The food trays even came out of a little hole in the wall. Kaley then called the shower to order. And she said it. The whole truth. Who the god mother was!”Alyssa!” she cried in happiness, her round belly bulging underneath the table. My sister, Alyssa, stared at her stupidly.Then, of course, the bragging kicked in. Even now her signature includes, “I’m a godmommy!” Very true. Have her send you a text, and you’ll know I’m not lying. A couple months later, Addilyn, a beautiful little girl, was born.
I have a god neice.
I really enjoyed reading this story — and how cool that you have a god neice! (Plus, I like how you shared that we could find this out, too, if texting your sister.) Great job!
Best story i’ve read
Thanks, Ms.Blair!
I stepped in,I hear the “click” to let go. My head moves back and forth. I tell my self to be brave. I close my eye’s. Water splashes over my head. I get all wet it makes my arm’s tickle. I jump off and speed walk down about five steps. I walked down a ramp and then I saw my picture. My eye’s were shut closed tight,my expression looks like someone just attacked me. Then my mom,my two sisters,my two cousins and I walked slowly to the exit. As we walked out I ask “can we go to Busch Gardens again soon!”
I LOVE the way we have to use our imagination and inference skills to “figure out” what you are doing in your story. Great way to capture our attention!
