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.

CAMP! oh, and this museum i went to...
This will be my last post for awhile because i am going to Camp Gravatt for a week!
I went to the Mint Museum and saw all these cool pieces of art.
We did this scavenger hunt game in the
Museum and we had to find different art pieces and
We found all of them! The first one we found were kites hanging from the cieling
Then a painting of Queen Charlotte, then a painting of a room with people in it,
After that we found an old wardrobe, then an ancient Hunters shirt
And last of all, antick wallpaper. The Mint Museum was also the first mint in the United States, and my brother Griffin thought the display about the coins they made there was awesome. It was a pretty cool trip, even though I didn’t want to go at first.Myrtle Beach
I went to Myrtle beach in South Carolina a few days ago and it was cookies!
At first it was low tide and I caught some big waves body surfing
They shot me thru the water like a jet, it was awesome.
And we surfed waves for about two hours when the tide came in, then
The waves got rough they threw me around like a rag doll boom boom boom
the waves knocked us over almost a million times. The waves were so strong that they
made you surf them spinning you around until you were dizzy. After we left the beach
we went to a burger joint called Hamburger Joe’s and I got another ALL THE WAY, the chili had no taste at all. But the rest was good. The funny thing about this place was that it was covred in money! There were dollar bills all over the walls and hanging from the ceiling. They let us draw on a dollar bill and put it up their on the wall. We put up a pink fish power boys doller bill .That was the end to are amasing beach trip!

Milkshake on my face
I went to the Drive-in theatre and saw the Sorcerers Apprentice.
It was a good movie and speciall effects were grate .
I espesally liked the part where the evilist witch comes out
of the grim hole and she tried to rise the dead but the main character knoked the witch out of the water and then put her back in the grim hold for life . I also got a milk shake it was really good but it wasn’t as thick as I thought it… It didn’t fall on my face… you know…Overall, good drive-in night, we slept with the seats down on the way
Get On Board
I went to Carowinds yesterday and all I did was ride roller coasters.
First I road the Ricochet it is a small coaster but fun, when the
cars turn it feels like you would fall off the track it also had a big
drop. It was scary but fun, relly fun. The next coaster we went on was the Carolina Cyclone, my all time favorette ride at Carowinds. It goes upside down four times
And goes forty one miles per hour I road this one twice it was awesome.
Then we all went on Flying Ace Arial Chase it is a roller coaster where
your feet hang down and it zips you thru the air twisting and turning
and leaveing you with an adrenalin rush. Then dad and griff went to a ride and
Me and Michelle went on the After Burn, the ride time is two minutes and forty seven seconds and it opened in 1999. When you get in your seat the ride will pull
you up to one hundred and forty four feet and sends you speeding down, woosh, you go upside down six times! Going sixty two miles per hour it was the longest fastest roller coaster I had ever been on and I loved all of it! Then me and dad went on the Vortex a stand up roller coaster that goes upside down twice at a speed of fifty miles per hour.
It was sweet the ride was smooth and took two minutes and nineteen seconds.
That was the last ride of the day and I was SATISFIED!
