I did over thanksgiving break

On Thanksgiving I had most of my dads side of the family over and one family from my mom side come over to eat. Before we ate one of my cousins from Madison brought their dog to our house. His name was Jasper but I don’t know what kind of dog it was. So we were walking the dog around the block in till we had to eat, because Jasper would have had to stay in the car for the in tire time when we were eating. So after the meal we brought Jasper back into my backyard and played fetch with him while I and a cousin were playing catch with a rugby ball because I couldn’t find a football that was inflated. After playing outside for about an hour and a half us everyone who was outside went inside and talked. But me and my cousin who were playing catch went and played madden because we always play each other when he is over. This year since he lives in Wisconsin and I live in Minnesota we played a Packers vs. Vikings. He was the Packers and I was Vikings. He always wins but it is still fun. This time he kicked my butt. In the fourth quarter I through 3 interceptions one right after the other. Then when everyone one gone we watched Fred Clause. But right as we were about to finish the movie the lamp in our TV gone out so we don’t know how it ends. That is what my family and I did on Thanksgiving Day.

The Odyssey (HIGHLIGHT TO READ)

The book Odyssey is a somewhat good book. But it is a very confusing book, but like I know the main parts in the book. For example the book is about a man named Odysseus, and he went of to fight in the Trojan War. But when everyone else got home he was still not home. So the elders of the city pronounced him dead. But his son doesn’t was to accept it so he goes off to go look for his dad. There is one chapter that was confusing in the 11th book it was when Odysseus was in the underworld and he was talking to all these dead people. He was talking to so many people that you didn’t know if it was him or some other dead person because there was so many of them. But other parts in the book were cool. When Odysseus and his crew were in the cave and then they stabbed the Polyphemus (the son of Poseidon, God of Water) in the eye. A funny part is when Circe (witch goddess) turned Odysseus’s crew into pigs. The book has its funny parts and serious parts. A serious part is when Telemecaus goes to his first destination and finds out that his dad was “dead”.

Trail of Terror 11/1/08

Something I did this weakened was I went to Trail of Terror with the church called St Patrick’s. Since clowns are not my favorite, my clowns took me into a tiny haunted house called the Clown House. I was pretty freaked out. Clowns were coming at me in all different directions. But before that we went into the main haunted house. At first it went pretty good I was screaming a lot. This one time in the main haunted house a clown so bad I fell to the ground. When I got up I just had to give the clown a high five. But then we got to the clown section. That is when it went all down hill. Clowns were hitting the cages making really loud noises and scaring the crap out of me. This one clown was following me. I asked why you are following me really loud. And said because your fun in a really creepy voice and that just messed me up. Then the part we went outside then right back in the JASON came running at my group. But I wasn’t so scared because Jason doesn’t really scare me so I laughed and gave him a high five to. So in the end of the night it was pretty fun. I laughed, screamed and almost messed myself a handful of times.
