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. 

dog, my shoe, bike, deer, horseshoe

Flash Flood Warning!

We had a flash flood warning for our county.  Mom drove over a bridge and the water was really high.  It was flooding the fields.  When I got home even our playground was flooded.  Mom and I looked up floods on the Internet.  Flooding can do a lot of damage.  I hope it stops raining soon.  I am glad we live on a hill!

Big Fun at Big Mike's!

I went to Big Mike's with my mom, dad, sister, and brothers. We ate pizza and played a pinball game. It was called Revenge From Mars.  Then I played a racing game. I played a course that was planet mars.  Also I played Galaga.  We picked Big Mike's instead of going to the Monster Truck Show because it would have been too loud for my baby brother and Grandmomma and Pap couldn't keep him.  If you ever go to Brevard, make sure you go to Big Mike's.  It's delicious and fun!
