Bedwell Boardwalk

I went to the Bedwell Boardwalk yesterday. The Bedwell Boardwalk is a fundraiser that raises money for my school. There are a whole bunch of fun rides. The best ride is the one that goes around in circles while riders can spin the car in another circle at the same time. They had a Fireman themed ride and the ride was so much fun because I got to climb up to the top like I was climbing up a ladder and then I got to slide down. There were also games outside and I got to win leis, a bracelet and some fuzzy people. Mom bought me tickets for the basket raffle and I put mine in for the Yankees basket. I hope I win! Mom baked a cake for the Cakewalk and Mrs. Collins made tasty brownies for a fundraiser that helps Doctors Without Borders. I really enjoyed Mrs. Collins' brownies (Can I have the recipe?) I am glad I went the the Boardwalk because it was really fun!

Cub Scouts

I was a Tiger and then I was a Wolf but since last night I am a Bear. A Bear is the last rank before Webelos in Cub Scouts.

Last night my dad took me to the Campfire Move-Up ceremony. At the campfire I had S'mores -- S'mores are roasted marshmallows with chocolate and two graham crackers. They look like a sandwich but not exactly -- and I got my new rank. I had to do work to get my new rank. I worked selling popcorn, I made a car for the Pinewood Derby and I made a rocket. I also had to learn about birds.

I like Cub Scouts because I get to do activities and I have made lots of friends. If your son is interested in this, call me and I will try to get him in a pack.

Penguin Ice Cream

One of my favorite places in town is Penguin Ice Cream. It is owned by Mr. Och and his wife. Mrs. Och teaches third grade at my school and they go to my church. I go to Penguin because they have the ice cream that I like to eat. They serve me the ice cream in a cone and they give me a Swedish Fish on the top. Mr. Och told me that the Governor of NJ has been there twice. A professional football player on the NY Jets and a professional NBA player have been there too. You should go to Penguin because it is great and they give you a choice of staying there to eat or you can take the ice cream to go.

Baseball

I am on a baseball team. My team's name is the Bees and my dad is a coach. The nice thing is that one of my friends is on the team. We play two times a week but sometimes there is a rainout. On Saturday, we were playing "outs." That means that if the batter's ball gets caught or he gets tagged, he is out and he can not play any more. My favorite position to play is catcher because you get to be behind the batter. Our next game is this Thursday.

My homework

For homework I had to write a letter using my ten words. My letter was written to President Obama. Here is what I wrote (can you guess what my words are?):

Dear President Obama:

You've been president for over a year. I think they've been nice to you in the White House. We're hoping you visit New Jersey soon. If you come, they'll help you with your work and you'll have a fun time with your daughters. I bet they're very playful even though we've never met. You mustn't forget Mrs. Obama and Bo!

Did people vote for you in Texas? After you visit New Jersey, you should go to Utah.

Your pal,

Liam

Before bed

Hi Mrs. Collins where ever you are. I just started a blog so please respond back and people out there, please write comments. I like all of you people out there. I just got back from sparring and I took a shower. I had ice cream for dessert and now I am going to bed. Bye!

Liam wanted to try this

Yesterday on the way home from school Liam asked if we could start a blog. I was a bit taken aback that a 2nd grader would want to to that but I told him that I would start one and here we are.
