CAMP!

Camp was great.... I had an awesome time with my cousin Ben, some of the kids in our cabin were a little wierd but we had lots of fun anyway.  I swam in the lake every day and did a high ropes course and went fishing and we even raided the cabins on the other side of the lake.  It was really hot this year at camp.  Basically, it was more fun than I can tell you about.  This is a picture of my brother Griffin hugging me when he came to pick me up from camp.

Burgers

I have two more burger joints to write about and they might be the best ones yet.  One was a gourmet burger and one was a diner style burger.
The gourmet burger was from Counter Burger which is becoming a chain so if there is one in your town you should go!!! And you can design yore own burger just for you and it tastes so good you could get your burger as rare as it can be like Dad and Michelle like it,  or rilly well done and my burger tasted soooooooooooooo good it was so amasingly good that i haad to take a picture and even the picture makes my mouth water. on to the next buger

I went to The Penguin and got fried pickles and a southern style burger. The Penguin is one of my all time favorite diner burgers and their fried pickles are the best and they are made right there and they have homeade ranch dressing to dip them in.  Mmmmm....  The Penguin was on Diners Drve Ins and Dives and you can look in up and watch about it!  It really does live up to the hype!

Brattonsville


I went to historic brattonsville sc and we saw how the early settlers live.
At first we saw the early huts of the settlers and it was interesting. They lived in little mud huts that had two beds and a kitchen inside and a family of 7 wuld live in one of them for ten to eleven years untill the son coulde builde another house.
Then we saw the next generaton of houses, they were two storys and the house was much better inside than the first ones. Then we went to the tavern and saw what it looked like on the in side it had a kitchen a bedroom and a schoolhouse in it. Then we went to the big house and it had three storys and a ball room. Then we saw the slave houses and the gin house where the cotton gin was.  One of the actors there told us how they raised flax for making cloth instead of cotton before the cotton gin was invented.  It was a worthwhile stop on the way home from camp.
