Gem Mine Fun!

On Saturday we went to the gem mine.  It was totally awesome! 

I got a big bucket of dirt.

                                   Then I got to sift through the dirt to find my gems.                        

This is one of my favorites!



I can't wait to go again!



Mud Run Fun!!!

Flat Stanley and Flat Arthur are very jealous.  This is the first time that they have not been allowed to go on one of my big adventures.  On Saturday I went to the Mud Run. My mom would not let Flat Stanley and Flat Arthur go to the Mud Run because she was worried they would get ruined. My cousins came. I jumped into a huge mud pit. There was a shower to wash your shoes. The spray was so hard it blew my foot.  It hurt and tickled at the same time.  I got very dirty.  My favorite obstacle was the mud pit. We ran up a hill and jumped in. It was awesome!!! I hope we get to go every year.

Flat Stanley and I and Flat Arthur are jumping on a GIANT trampoline. Boing!  I got it from the Easter Bunny. The egg hunt was fun, Easter dinner was delicious, but my favorite part was the trampoline.

Silly Dilly Song Fun!

Tonight we read one of my favorite books called take me out of the bathtub and other silly dilly songs.  You can tell it is silly because the author even uses all lower case letters in the title!  We have been singing my favorite song from the book which is Stinky Stinky Diaper Change to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.  It is so stinking fun!  Did you get my play on words?  It goes like this

Stinky stinky diaper change
Boy, my brother smells so strange
He made something in his pants
Sure hope it won't attract ants
Stinky stinky diaper change
Boy, my brother smells so strange!

It's okay, don't hold your nose
Now he's clean and in fresh clothes
All his stuff is often stained
Can't wait till he's potty trained
He's so cute in his playpen
What's that smell?  Oh...not again!

Because of my little brother Beckett I get to sing this song a lot at my house!

Jack Tales Fun!

Yesterday Julia Ebel came to our school.  She is a famous author and story teller.  She signed my book.  It says Sawyer you have tales to tell too.  I wonder if she has seen my blog with all of my tales about me and Flat Stanley and Flat Arthur.  We are writing lots of tales of our adventures!  We read some of the Jack Tales and I liked the story about the man who tricked the other man into thinking that pumpkins were mule eggs!

Crown Me!

Tonight we learned the rules for checkers.  Tomorrow night is the big match!  I hope I get to say "crown me" a whole lot!  I wonder who is going to win?  I have played with checkers at Cracker Barrel but I have never played a real game.  We have a really neat magnetic travel set of checkers so Emmy and I can play in the car. 

Sawyer, Flat Stanley and Flat Arthur: Triple Trouble at Triple Falls

On Sunday we went to Triple Falls.  It was about a two mile hike but it felt like three hundred thirty-three miles! 

The falls are called triple falls because it is really a set of three waterfalls all together.  Some girl was leaning over to touch the water and the sign said not to.  I was scared she was going to fall in.  My mom and dad would not let us get close to the edge.  The falls were awesome!

Triple Falls is a part of Dupont State Forest.  I love to go on hikes with my family!


One really neat thing we did was to identify tracks that we saw in the mud.  Below are five pictures - can you identify who left each track?  The answers will be at the bottom.
