Wrigley

     Well I have talked a little bit about my dog Wrigley, but now I'm going to talk about her some more.  Wrigley is a Black Lab.  Wrigley is a female.  She is a puppy.  We got her shortly after our dog Sammy passed away back in April 2013.  She was a stray before we found her.  She is a very friendly dog, but loves to jump up on people.  One thing she likes to do is get in the cow pen and run around with the cows.  Another thing she likes to do is go swimming.  Black Labs love swimming!  One other thing that she likes to do is chew up shoes!  Just a week ago she got in the house when everyone was sleeping.  When my mom got home she noticed Wrigley was in the house.  We took her back outside, and then we noticed that she chewed up 6 pairs of shoes.  That was bad enough but she chewed up every left shoe.  So we couldn't mix and match.  So my mom had to go out and by us new shoes.  Trust me mom wasn't very happy!

My Hobbies

     I have many awesome hobbies!  Some of them are playing sports.  The sports I play are volleyball, basketball, and softball.  I love playing sports.  I could do sports 24/7, that's how much I love sports.  Fishing is another one of my hobbies.  The only thing I will not do when I'm fishing is putting the worm on and taking the fish off.  I also like to go mushroom hunting.  We go to three different places.  Last summer we found two bags full just by one little tree!  Another one of my hobbies is camping.  I love going camping. My family and I go camping every other weekend.  We play games when we're camping.  Some games we play are dodge ball, kickball, ghost in the graveyard, and bocce ball.  Some weekends we even have a bean bag tournament.  My cousins and I like to go on bike rides, or go to the park.  I also love spending time with my family and friends.

My Summer

     My summer was the best!  I did a lot of things over summer.  One of the things I did was go camping at many new places.  Another thing I did was go to Lost Island.  Lost Island is a water park that has many different water slides.  It also has a wave pool and a lazy river.  My favorite ride there is the water roller coaster.  Over summer I also played softball.  I was on the pitching team.  The positions I like to play is 1st base or shortstop.  I even pitched in some games!  Our team this year was a young team, because we had to pull up the 4th graders.  We won most of our games and placed 5th at the end of the season.  I also helped the younger teams.  The younger teams would call me their "assistant coach."  Which was pretty nice of them.  Over the summer my sisters and I went to the pool a lot.  Some of my friends go to the pool.  Some of the games we play at the pool are pom pom, fish out of water, color, ship in a bottle, and freeze tag.  We also went to Jumping Jane's.  My cousin loved it and so did my sister.  Another thing we did was go to the National River Boat Museum.  That had a lot of cool and interesting things there.  We also went to the Aquarium.  When we went they had turtles.  They had many different types of turtles.  One night we went out to eat at Catfish Charlie's.  I got fish and shrimp.  It was really good that I would go there again!
