My Two Week Trip


 Tuesday
Today, we hung around till 10:00, which is when Brandon showed me a game on the computer called Civilization V. It was amazing! We played until 1:00, which is when Brandon and I left for our run. We ran for about a mile and then when we got back, we played some more Civilization V and then at 6:00, we headed off to Six Flags and I had a great time! I went on El Toro, Nitro, and Skull Mountain and they were some pretty fast rides with some tall drops! At 10:00 we left and ate at a diner and I got a cheese quesadilla with French fries. When we got back, we went straight to bed.



Wednesday

Today, we played Civilization V until 10:30 which is when we left for the beach! We had a great time! We left around 4:00 and we went and got Italian Ice. At 5:00, we left for the swim meet and Brandon qualified for the next round! At 7:00, Brandon and I decided to run back, grab our sneakers and run some because Brandon had a lot of energy! However, Brandon ran right past the house and ran on his own. So, I got my sneakers and ran on my own. We played Civilization V until bedtime and we got to bed.

Thursday

Today, we finished Civilization V and played Minecraft on the Xbox. Then, we started Castle Crashers on the Xbox, took another break, and played Risk Factions on the Xbox. Then, we left for the pool and swam for 2 hours and then went back home. Then we ate dinner and talked and then we fit in some more Castle Crashers and then went to bed.



Friday

Today, we finished Castle Crashers and then played some Risk Factions and at 1:00, Matt and Brandon left for a party till 9:00. I stayed home alone till two and watched Hop with Andrew and then we played Animal Crossing. Then we ate out with Bradley and then went to the hospital to check on Uncle Bob. Then, we left to pick up Matt and Brandon and when we got home, we played a game called Headbands and then went to bed.

Saturday

I woke up in the early morning and I went to where was staying and he drove me all the way to Philly and Uncle Tommy and Gaetano picked me up and we ate at Gino’s and then we drove to Washington D.C and we stopped at the Outlet Mall and I got 3 shirts, a sports shirt, and a video game for my 3DS. Gaetano got some matching shirts with mine and a new Lego Batman game. Then, we went home, had a big presentation and got to bed.



Sunday

Today, we went to Church in this huge cathedral and it was amazing. Then we headed off to Mr. Todd’s pool and swam until 5:00, when we got home, Gaetano and I played Batman and I packed my bag for tech camp the next day and got to bed.



Monday

Today, we woke up early and we dropped Gaetano at his baseball camp and then Uncle Tommy dropped me off at my camp. He signed some paperwork, I became self-sign out and then I said goodbye and he left. I was really nervous, but we just got in a circle and played a game called Steal the Stuff. Basically, there was stuff in the middle, some protectors, and some outsiders. The outsiders tried to steal the stuff without getting tagged. If you got tagged, you had to walk around the circle three times. Whoever had the most stuff at the end won. At 9:00, we headed in and we got into a big lab and they introduced the staff and they all had nicknames. Then they broke up the classes and I was with Chaps, along with Jake, Jacob, Jacob, Brady, John, Maddie, and Miles. We headed to the small lab and we opened up Multimedia Fusion Developer 2. We designed our games, putting in background, characters, and enemies. It was really cool. At 11:00, we went to a different building and got to eat at a buffet and it was awesome! Then, we went back and I started to play Minecraft. I made two friends: Jake and Jacob and they taught me how to play. Then, Chaps gave us a ticket for being good and we went outside and played kickball. We then did shout-outs, which are when you want to congratulate someone and you and them get a ticket. And then it was 5:00. Uncle Tommy picked me up and Gaetano and we stopped by the store and picked up a cake for Aunt Sam for getting on TV for the Motley Fool! I got a fudge brownie and my ice cream. Then, when we got home, we played Lego Batman and then I watched the Olympics and then we went to bed.

Tuesday

Everything went the same for today except today at camp, we gave our main characters the ability to move and we gave our enemies paths. The activity for today was to design your own visor and I made an Olympics won because it was Olympics day the next day. We played more Minecraft and the buffet was just as great as yesterday! We did shout-outs. Then, we Uncle Tommy picked me up and Gaetano and I played Lego Batman and I watched the Olympics and we go to bed.

Wednesday

Today, the new Minecraft came in and we downloaded it and played a bunch. Today, we allowed our main characters to shoot and deal damage and we also gave them health bars and I stopped my character from being able to run off the screen. My game was almost finished!  The activity was a tournament, but I just played Minecraft. The food was great as always. We did shout-outs and then I was picked up and whisked back home to play some batman, eat a great meal, watch the Olympics, and get to bed!

The food was fantastic and then Uncle Tommy picked me up and we went to the Nats game. I got a Nats hat  and we stayed until the 7th inning and we watched the rest at home and the won! I then got to bed.

This morning, I realized that I had been on TV!!!!!!!!! It was awesome! Then at camp, we put our games on flash drives and on discs. We played more Minecraft and had a random dance party! We had pizza for lunch and used our tickets for the raffle and I didn’t win. We then did shout-outs and then the parents came in. I showed everyone my game and then we went into a room and Chaps gave us our DVD’s, diploma’s, and flash drives! Jake and I shared Skype addresses. Then, we ate at Ted’s and the food was great!
