Riley's Adventures

Maggie carrying her karaoke machine and wearing her headphones as we take a walk around town.

Good Morning! I had to play soccer in the rain, at 10am in the morning, on a weekend. I'm sure nobody would want to do that. I like soccer, but not on a weekend, when its raining, and early in the morning. Above is a video of a song I got into. "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley. I like the beat. 14 more school days! I'm excited for the summer. But also, I don't want to school year to end, too. I have a good class, like me this year. We also  have a few class clowns, so its funny when you walk in and walk out of school. Over the summer, Maggie wants me to teach her multiplication. And also, since I'm good at making videos/movies, we are going to try to make a music video every day in the summer. My aunts wedding is in September, and she asked me to make it into a big movie, so I'm starting to get prepared. Do you know how on TV, they have several cameras in different spots, not just one camera? Will I'm going to try to make it like this is on TV. I have to p...

Our family has been crazy preparing for Christmas. Here's an overview: Mom has been looking for presents for our cousins, "Julia" and "Justin" online. Dad has been doing do this 3D Puzzle Ball, all day and like crazy. Then Maggie, making Perler bead stuff for our family as gifts. Last, Toga, snoring away in his bed waiting for Christmas, to open all his gifts.

Today, Maggie's fish passed away. It was right after dinner, when Maggie went upstairs to read, and then we heard crying. "Is she crying?" said Mom. Maggie came downstairs looking sad. Mom said, "What wrong?" Then Maggie said, "My fish died" Even I was a little sad. Maggie had just got that fish in August, on her birthday, and it was even acting weird this and last week. I went upstairs to check it out after Mom went with Maggie, and it was floating like a boat with 1,000 life vests in it. 

We are camping now. With our friends, "The LaGoys". We have been swimming in the lake (In Mid-October!), and the water is like 30 degrees. We went swimming here, (in the Picture below) and it was super cold. They had a rope swing, but neither of us wanted to go on. Finally, another guy finally tried it out, and you had to fall 5 feet between the water and the rope, to it was pretty scary. I like this vacation! Yesterday, we hiked 5 miles (1 mile was UP  hill.). We came home and had a nice dinner along the lake. The next morning we did the same thing, have breakfast on the lake. Bacon, Pancakes, and Sausage Patty's. Then we went in a canoe ride. We fished for fish, had a little tugs, but were to late and didn't catch anything. We went in another part of the lake which was 30 degrees, like an ice cube. And who know's what fun we will have tomorrow...

Maggie had her first violin lesson today. It's part of the school. She has them every Thursday. She did really good. I was looking at my school planner the whole time but I looked and saw she did a good job. We did a crossword puzzle, me and mom, while we were waiting.
