Phineas and Ferb

Phineas and Ferb is the best show of all time! I have been a big fan for a long time. If you want a show that is great for you and your kids, Phineas and Ferb is it. Phineas and Ferb is about two kids, Phineas and Ferb. Phineas and Ferb are stepbrothers and every day of the summer they build these wacky contraptions like nano bots, a time machine, and a one hit wonder. Their friends, Isabella, Buford, and Baljeet help Phineas and Ferb build the contraptions. The boys’ sister, Candace, tries to bust them everyday. While Phineas and Ferb build their contraptions, their pet platypus Agent P or “Perry” has to battle Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, an evil scientist. I would rate this TV show five stars. I would rate the show five stars because I love the show.  It is funny, and it has an interesting animal agent.

New York

I just went to New York City for the Forth of July with my friends Benjamin and Isabelle and it was fun. We went to F.A.O Schwarz and we went to Central Park Zoo where we saw some penguins, red pandas, and a polar bear. We went to some of the best restaurants in New York. We went to the Modern, Jean-Georges, and North End Grill. At the North End Grill I had the fried egg with tuna tar tare, the beef tenderloin, and the German chocolate cake. At the Modern I had the poached egg with truffle, the skirt steak, and the raspberry and the strawberry sorbet and the chocolate cart came. (We got a plethora of chocolates.) At Jean-Georges I had the yellowfin tuna ribbons, the roasted saddle of lamb, and then the four dessert topics (strawberry, rhubarb, cherry, and chocolate). My favorite restaurant was the North End Grill. We saw two musicals. They were Cinderella and Pippin. I didn’t quite like Pippin because the plot was confusing to me, and Cinderella was great because it was super funny and it did not have a confusing plot. On Fourth of July we saw the fireworks at Chelsea Piers and the fireworks were great. We also went to the Cloisters where we saw the famous Unicorn tapestry. We also got to Dylan’s Candy Bar, and that was really fun. Dylan’s Candy Bar is candy heaven because it has so much candy. I bought orange gummy bears, green apple licorice, nerds, and fun dip. Overall my family and Benjamin and Isabelle and their parents had a great time.

Scout Camp

I just came back from my boy-scout camp. My dad drove the RV we rented and it was huge–it had a shower, a fridge, and a bed. It took us three hours to get to camp.  I got to shoot rifles and shoot some arrows. My favorite part was shooting the rifles. We had okay food, but I have had better food. We had tacos, spaghetti and meatballs, and we had French toast.  I really don’t like sleeping in the outdoors so it was uncomfortable.  I don’t like bugs and that made the outdoors so it was uncomfortable for me. I had to put up with some crazy kids. Even though I had to put up with the crazy kids, I got my swimming merit badge, my pioneering merit badge, and my cooking merit badge. I heard there was a shotgun merit badge, a life saving merit badge, first aid merit badge, and an environmental science merit badge. My troop got to do the polar bear swim, where you swim in the morning, and we got to do the pirate breakfast where we got to eat breakfast on the canoes and kayaks. We had sermons by my friend, and he was amazing. My troop also saw a copperhead in our camp. I missed that though. We also had a bear at our camp and the camp staff tranquilized it. We didn’t get to see that though. We had so much fun at camp, and I realized that at the very end.

Flush

            Flush is about a boy named Noah. Noah is trying to prove that Dusty Muleman, the owner of a casino boat called the Coral Queen, is dumping sewage into the waters. Noah’s father blew up the boat and was put in jail. Noah and Abbey, his younger sister, are trying to help their dad. Noah and Abbey can’t do this task without help so they get Lice, a friend of their dad’s, to help them. He agrees to help but disappears. Lice’s girlfriend, Shelly, said she would help them with Operation Royal Flush. I would rate this book 3 stars. It was not the greatest book I ever read, and it was not a fast paced book.

School’s Out Forever

I just read the second book in the Maximum Ride series. The Flock just escaped from the School and is attacked by flying Erasers and Fang is injured. When Fang is in the hospital, the FBI interrogates them. After Fang is healed, the Flock stays with one of the FBI agents named Anne Walker. Anne decides to send them to school and they are not very pleased with that. While they go to school, they found Iggy’s parents. Also, Max goes on a date with a boy. At the end, the Flock figure out that Anne is working for Jeb, a scientist who broke them out and betrayed them, and they run away. Sadly before they figure out that Anne is working for Jeb, they take Iggy to his parents. When they run away, Iggy returns and says that his parents were trying to make money off of him. (People, never make money off your kids.)  I would rate this book 4- ½ stars because it is very nerve wracking and it has a lot of action in it.

The Angel Experiment

I just read a book called The Angel Experiment by James Patterson. It is about five kids who are 98% human and 2% bird. The main character is named Max. Max’s family includes Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gassy or Gas Man, and Angel. This book is about the “Flock” (that is what Max calls the family) who is living in secret hiding from the place called the School. The School is the place where they were mutated. The main problem is that Erasers, a human wolf hybrid, kidnap Angel and the Flock leaves to find her. I would rate this book a 4-½ stars. I love it that the book is about mutants and it takes place in the same time as us.

Becoming a Tenderfoot

I just have become a Tenderfoot for Boy Scouts. My dad is happy for me and it is great for me because it means I am one step closer to becoming an Eagle Scout. Before I became a Tenderfoot I had to do some requirements and then I had to do a Board of Review. My dad said the Board of Review would be hard but it really wasn’t difficult. Even though it was easy I was terrified about what I was going to do in the Board of Review. Fortunately it was very simple.

Examples of requirements:

Demonstrate how to fuse and whip the ends of a rope.

Demonstrate how to care for somebody who is choking.

Spend at least one night on a patrol or troop campout, and sleep in a tent that you have helped pitch.

Children’s Ball 2013

I just went to the Children’s ball and it was fun. The Children’s ball raises money for Children’s National Medical Center. I had my friends come and we had a blast, we ate and we sat on chairs with levers that makes the chair go down and we played on those (Johnny English style). We talked and saw this little video about the Multi Crystal Bear. We stayed and watched the action and they sold almost everything they could sell at the auction. We saw a little video about a poor kid who had cancer, I don’t remember what cancer it was but I know it is cancer. He also came and led the auction. Everyone had a great time. I gave everyone iPod nanos and that made everyone even happier. When we left, one of my best friends came with me for a sleepover, sadly it was not that long. We had such a great time, here are pictures I took and others took. More photos coming soon!
