April 8, 2017: NC Zoological Park

We went to the World's Largest Zoo today which is in Ashboro, North Carolina. We walked over 6 miles! We saw so many cool animals...lions, lemurs, snakes, alligators, sand cat, bears, elephants, giraffes. My favorites were the sea lions and seals and the polar bear. They were so much fun to watch!

April 1, 2017: Hanging Rock State Park, Danbury, North Carolina

After Mommy taught me how to change the oil in her car, we drove to Danbury, North Carolina to go to Hanging Rock State Park. It was a LONG hike to the top of the mountain, but it was awesome! We had a picnic at the park too!

March 4 - 19th

My finger finally healed! I got to practice for football with a new football team, but we didn't have enough players for the spring league. Mommy and I did some painting while we were waiting for our new couch to be delivered. We hung out with our neighbor Adam who lets me play football with him and he showed me some wrestling moves. Mommy and I went to dinner for her birthday on the 19th.

March 3, 2017

Everyone says I need be wrapped in bubblewrap. I got hurt again. This time, I did it myself by accident. I was doing bear crawls at school and stepped on my own finger. I am in a splint for 2 weeks to make sure that it heals up good.

I have a special note for school since it's my left hand and I'm left-handed. It's going to be really hard to write. I can still go to football practice but can't do bear crawls or crab walks because right now we're only doing conditioning. Oh yeah! Spring football has started!!

February 2017 - Sad Times

There isn't much about February that remember, except the worst...Poppy passed away. Mommy said telling me was the hardest thing she's ever had to do. She was in the middle of taking the bar exam when he passed away. I miss him and I'm really sad sometimes.

January 2 - 31, 2017

We didn't do a lot in January. Mom was studying for the bar exam and I was trying to be helpful. But we still had some fun and some not so fun times.

I fell on my wrist and the dr couldn't rule out a growth plate fracture so I was stuck in a cast for 4 weeks!

A restaurant we like has Music Bingo on Thursday night. Mom & I went to dinner and found that out. It was fun!

Mom calls us twins. This is my friend Jacob. Mom took us out to eat at Steak N Shake

My big science project. I typed everything and found the pictures. Mom just printed them. We bought little animals for the posterboard and I brought fruit from the rainforest to school. I got a 100% on my project!
