The Big Games

This weekend we played in the State Tournament. We won all our games. We even beat the #1 seed and we we're in the 4TH seed! We also beat the #2 seed. Our team got first place in the state. We were the best team in our league in the state of Iowa. I got a big trophy. Everybody on my team got a trophy for 1st place. Our coach got a plaque. We all were very excited. I played center field. I made a big catch there. I played left field. I caught a line drive in left field. I played right field and a little bit of 1st base. When I was up to bat I was hit by a pitch once in the chest and I caught the ball. Another time I was up to bat I hit the ball, I went to first. They overthrew the first baseman and I ran to second. Then I ran to third base. I almost got an in the park home run when they overthrew the catcher but coach told me to stay at 3rd. There happened to be 3 people on base so I drove in 3 runs in the championship game. When the game was over we went to the dugout and got all of our water bottles and dumped all of the water on our coach.  Jake had a jug that carried a lot of water.  And that's how my baseball tournament went. I hope you enjoyed this blog. Here are some pictures of my big games.

The Big Trip

We woke up at 4.00am to go to the Des Moines Airport.Our family took two airplanes to go to NORTH CAROLINA!!!We went to the beach by our rented house. As soon as we got there I went down our boardwalk and I was the first one to the beach. Out of our family, of course. The first thing I did was draw with my finger in the sand. I wrote Carsten Bird was here. Then i put my feet in the water. The next day i built a big sand castle at low tide. And after that I went to go boogie board in the ocean. I was pretty good. Then we had to go home. We sprayed off with the hose that was attached to the boardwalk. The next day I built a bigger sand castle at the beach. My favorite parts of the trip were building a Nebraska N out of the sand and the border was the state of Nebraska. Another favorite part was riding on the airplanes. That was lots of fun. We even had an elevator and a pool in our house. We had lots of TV's. We went to a different beach by a lighthouse. There was a lot of separate islands there at that beach. Me and Daddy went to find some big seashells. Daddy found a big seashell with no holes in it. Then we went back to Emeral Isle where our house was. And that's how our summer vacation went. Here are some pictures from my trip. I hope you enjoyed this blog.

Summer is Starting

On Saturday and Sunday I had a baseball tournament.  I was the big bat.  I got on base every time except once in 3 games in one day.  My team got 1st place in the whole entire tournament.  We were all excited.  Our trophies looked weird though.  They didn't look like trophies.  Our trophies just looked like a baseball player carved out of metal hitting a ball with a catcher behind it and a crowd.  The first team we played was The Damage.  We beat them 15-0.  The next team we played was the Sticks.  We beat them 8-6.  The next team we played was the last team.  It was The Young Guns.  We beat them in the championship 14-7.  That was the baseball tournament.


We plan to go on a trip to North Carolina with my grandma and grandpa and cousin Jack and other family.  We will go to the beach in North Carolina.  When we get back from North Carolina I will have basketball camp, golf camp, and a lego camp.  I will also do Bible School and maybe go to Adventureland.  My mom and dad are thinking about going to Kansas City where we will go to Royals game and a fun water park.  I will play with my mom and dad and my sister when they have days off.  We will also go to Lake Okoboji with nana papa and my aunts and uncles.  That is the end of my first 2012 summer blog.
