Yesterday
we went to the Science Museum. There were all kinds of exhibits. The first one
we saw was about bones and organs and your brain. There was a game called The
Brain Game. You put a helmet on that sensed your brain. Whoever had the least
brain waves wins. To not have brain waves you need to be calm. Another thing there was was a giant stomach
you could walk into that explained how the stomach worked. Then we went to the
technology exhibits. I learned to send my name in Morse code. There was also a
camera that made your face look really weird. My favorite thing was a bed of
nails though. After the Science Museum we came home, had dinner, and watched a
movie.

Yesterday
we didn’t do much until lunch. Then at 1:00 we started driving somewhere but
Dad wouldn’t tell us where. When we pulled into the parking lot we figured out
it was an amusement park called Castles and Coasters. After we bought our
tickets we went into the park. The first ride we did was a ride where you sat
in a cart that was attached to a metal tower and you went up slowly and then
dropped really fast. Then we went on a roller coaster called Desert Storm. It
went up really high and then down really steep. It also went upside down twice.
We did that ride a couple times. Next we went on a ride called Loggerhead. It
was like a roller coaster but you were in a man-made river that went all over.
Next we went on a ride called Sea Dragon. On Sea Dragon you sat in a giant boat
that swung back and forth in a little more than a half circle. On that ride you
get a really weird feeling in your stomach. Next we did bumper cars, which were
fun. We did those a bunch of times because there was almost no line. Then we
went on a ride called Magic Carpet. You sat in a cart that spun in circles
really fast. Then we did a roller coaster called Patriot that was really fast.
Then we did my favorite ride. It was called Little Indy. You got in a go-kart and
raced around a track with a bunch of other people. The carts could go about 25
mph. then we did a rope course that wasn’t the best, but the zip line they had
next to it was really fun. Then we came home and went to bed.

Yesterday
we didn’t do much because we were all really tired. We stayed up really late at
Castles and Coasters. We watched the Packer game. We lost. We also watched a
lot of other football. Then I rode my bike. Next we had pizza and watched a
movie.
12/19/17
Yesterday
I rode my bike a lot in the morning. Then after lunch, we did a 3 mile hike to
a nature center. They had some signs about the animals that lived around there.
The hike was pretty. We saw a lot of cactus. Then we went shopping. When we got
back we had dinner and watched a movie.

Yesterday
we took the camper into a tire place to get the tires changes or something.
Then while they were fixing the tires we went to the first neighborhood of
Phoenix, Arizona. That is where we are. The houses weren’t very old so the city
couldn’t be very old either. Then just to kill some time we went to the
Creativity Center. It was a room with Legos and wood blocks in it. We didn’t
stay long. Next we picked up our camper and drove to our next site. When we got
there we had dinner and played Wii.

Yesterday
we didn’t do much because we were waiting to pick Mom up from the airport. I
rode my bike for a while, I played football with Andi, I read, and I played
Wii. At about 5:30 we had dinner. Then we got Mom from the airport. It was
really nice to see her. On the way home we got Culver’s malts. They were really
good. Then, since it was really late we went to bed.

Yesterday
we drove our camper into town to get the brakes on it fixed. It was an hour and
a half to get there. When we did get there we got lunch at a sandwich place. It
was good. When we got back the trailer was done. Next we went shopping. After
shopping we drove an hour and a half to get back to our site. Then we had
dinner and went to bed.

Yesterday
we drove to our next site. It was a really long drive. When we got there we set
up camp. Then we met some kids. They were really nice.
We played laser tag, capture the flag, and football. It was really fun to have
kids to play with. We played with them for a really long time. Then we had
dinner and went to bed.
12/24/17
Yesterday
we had breakfast in the morning. Then I went outside and played laser tag with my new friends. After we played laser tag for a while we helped the host
clean up some of the sites after people leave. It turns out they do that all
the time to help out. The hosts are 70 and 80 years old, so it is harder for
them. After that we played laser tag and football for a while. We also played
nerf guns. Then we went over to a friend’s camper and played X-box. We played a
game called Starwars Battle Front. It was really fun. Then we came home and had
dinner. After dinner we played X-box again for a while. Then we came home and
went to bed.
Two
days ago was Christmas Eve! During the day we played with our friends. We
played laser tag, rode bikes, and all sorts of other things. We played until
about 6:00. Then we came home and had chili. We also opened Grandma and
Grandpa’s presents because at home we always go to their house on Christmas
Eve. I got a really nice homemade blanket and pillow. I also got some Greek
Mythology books. Then we watched A Christmas Story and How the Grinch Stole
Christmas. Then we went to bed.

we had another day where we played with our friends all day. We played laser
tag, football, and rode bikes. We did that all day. When we were done we had
dinner and did homework.
12/28/17
Yesterday
we started driving to our next site in the morning, but a little way into the
drive something on the trailer broke. We came back to the same site. While Dad
was fixing the trailer I played with John and Cole for the rest of the day.
Then we had dinner and watched a movie.
12/29/17
Yesterday
we got going early in the morning and took the camper in to a repair shop to
get the axles replaced. While it was getting repaired we got breakfast at
Waffle House. Then we sat at a library until the trailer was done. Then we
drove home and I played with my friends for the rest of the day.
At about 6:00 we went over to our friend's campsite for dinner. We
had hot dogs and ribs. Then we came home and went to bed.
