A new video game has come out. It is the new Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure where toys come to life. For kids (or grown ups) who haven’t heard who Spyro is, he is a rare purple and orange dragon. The plot of the game is you use the Skylanders toys to defeat Kaos (no I did not spell that wrong it’s a name of the bad guy) and the darkness that is spreading through Skylands. You have to find all eight eternal sources: Air, Water, Ground, Life, Tech, Undead, Fire, and Magic.

So far, I have seven Skylanders. Three came with the starter pack, I bought two with money I saved for a long time in my bank and my friend Sam bought two. In total, we have Sonic Boom, Stump Smash, Chop Chop, Prisim Break, Gill Grunt, Trigger Happy, and finally Spyro.

By the way, Activision sent me a copy of the Skylanders Wii starter pack in exchange for a review. I was told to write my honest opinion and everything written here is based on my personal opinion.

This trip to Disney was the best of all four (even if I was not there all the time ) mostly because of the Halloween party.
I myself loved Space Mountain’s green screen exit (you can see it in the video below). The fastest ride was Expediton Everest’s 72 foot drop total estimate.

RING RING  the bell goes I yell  ”SUMMER!” and started to dance . That weekend I played football at Mizzou stadium. After that we spent one free week at the house THEN we did our yearly trip to Maine.

The first week my Uncle Barry came and some of his friend’s kids came.  Their names are : Collin, Addison and Camden. Collin and I RULED the place.

The next week (sheesh – long trip) we  had Grandpa and Grandma Lee come  we had a lot of fun of stuff  like HUGE sailboats.  Today, I saw a  SEAL on the shore.  I could not believe my eyes. I’m going to close it up here.
P.S. More to come.

You wake up then it hits you ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY! That’s my b-day morning . Then I got a early birthday present: Harry Potter Gryffindor scarf with Harry Potter motion activated wand!

Then Dad and I went to Waffle House for breakfast. Then Dad dropped me off at TRYPS theater camp.  At the end of the day I had a Harry Potter play I was Ron Weasley. After that I opened presents and had cake (which happened to be a potion book) and that was a cool birthday !
!

I was sweating “almost 3:00 almost 3:00″ then the bell rang we all went crazy papers were thrown in the air. We cleaned quick because parents were coming down the the hall then I was stuffed with sweets and came home to play with Michael and the day was done.

woo who

4 days at Disney World might sound simple enough, but you are wrong. 4 days is way toooooooo much.
Day 1: super (A whole day at Epcot)

Day 2: o.k. (A whole day in the Magic Kingdom)

Day 3: Eye karumba (A whole day in Animal Kingdom)

Day 4: I’m exhausted! (All day at Hollywood Studios)

I thought nothing would be fun after that. Boy oh boy, I am wrong. Things got out of control (which is usual). It snowed a lot. I built a snow fort. I finally saw my friends!!! And killer 8 snow days. That’s today’s news. (Next week will I finally learn to type? I hope so!)

Look, I have a LOT of  stuff to do during the week. I have to do soccer, football, and piano. But it takes some family time. NOTE: Mom, I do NOT want to quit anything. The last  football game I GOT 4 TOUCHDOWNS!  Pretty awesome, huh?

In soccer I destroyed Sammy.G. He is the KING of soccer. I was able to score a goal on him a couple of weeks ago. In piano we are working on Christmas songs.

I’ll be back on this blog to talk in two days. I have a football game tomorrow.

Yup it’s true. I have 4 new friends. They are  Julius, Randy (not dad), Chris and Max. Julius warmed up to me on his 1st day at school at Russell. He’s really nice. Randy and Chris are best friends. I met Chris in baseball in the Spring and Randy on the 1st day of school this year. I’ve known Max since kindergarten but we were never really friends back then. So that is that.

[MOM NOTE: Of course, Cam and Michael are the best of friends and are in class together again this year. I included an awesome picture I took of them on the first day of school.]

NOTE: Here is Cam’s review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1:

It was soooooo cool. My favorite part was when Bathilda Bagshot turned into Nagini and attacked. At the end Dobby died. That was sad. I loved it when puking pastlels attacked the ministry of magic. It was so weird when Ron destroyed the locket. [And mom covered his eyes.]

AND THIS WORD FROM MOM: Cam and I spent the last year reading all of the Harry Potter books. It’s been a fun ride. We’re actually almost done with Book 7 – but we’ve gotten deep enough into the book for the first part of the movie. I’m so lucky to have enjoyed this Harry Potter experience with Cam.

This year I am going a museum. I will sleep wih dinos. I will have so much fun.

Cam wanted spiky hair one day before school.

I tried to get Cam to work on his typing skills… because I seriously think he could enjoy contributing to this blog on his own this summer.

Today Cameron went to work with me for a little bit before he interviewed at a local independent school. We decided to look into it… even though at this point, we haven’t found the right funding opportunity. I’m going to keep my fingers crossed. I really think he’d be a perfect fit for the school.

He had fun meeting the third grade teacher. She gave him an assessment test, had me read a book (one he’d read before – the Spiderwick Chronicles Field Guide) and he got quizzed on his Harry Potter knowledge (he’s scary with all the little details he knows). They talked about other things… but I didn’t get all of the details about the experience. Cameron thought the place was cool. I guess we’ll see.

He is wrapping up his school year – and he seems to be a bit more relaxed lately. His class work is going pretty well. He still has his days, but I feel like he’s headed in the right direction.

He and I have come up with a number of projects we’ve planned for the summer:

1) Read Fantastic Mr. Fox and then see the movie (we haven’t seen it yet but I hear it’s awesome)
2) Compose a song on the piano
3) Finish the last two books of Harry Potter

I’m sure we’ll add to the list, but I think these are doable. I have a little side goal of getting Cameron to write more with a keyboard. His three sentences at the top of this blog post had a more fictional and fun group of sentences… but it didn’t make a lot of sense. And he didn’t know how to clarify it. So he started over with a few sentences about our sleepover trip to the Field Museum later in June. I hope we’ll see more and more Cameron writings here soon.
