Fencing and boat racing

Today I finished fencing camp and grandpa came for the third and my dad came too. After fencing me and dad went to the 39th annual River Town days where there was boat races. There was a group of fast boats that raced together and a group of slower boats racing together.

Soccer Kick-off Festival

Today me and my dad went to the soccer kick-off festival and there was games you got to play some soccer and soccer golf. I was pretty good at soccer golf. I got my old soccer ball signed by one of the Minnesota United defenseman. All of the soccer kids got to be in a picture with the team mascot the loon.

Pilot Knob Bee Survey

Today me and dad went to Pilot Knob Hill for our second bee survey. Mom had to go to work, so it was just us two. It kind of easy to find a bumble bee, because there were lots of bumble bees. They marked the bumble bees so you don't catch them again so they don't get counted twice. There were 16 volunteers and we collected 81 bumble bees.  There were five different species of bumble bee that we caught today. After we caught bees we planted a seedling of a flower that bees like. Me and dad planted 18 flowers.

Fishing a Lake

Today me and dad went fishing and there was a lot of fish.  We saw a lot of small fish. To get the big fish that I caught I had the bait on the hook and then lifted it up and went to the other side of the dock and got a big fish.

Butterflies and Night Tennis

Today me, mom and dad went to the Minnesota Zoo for the butterflies. There were different types of butterflies. Later me and my dad played tennis under the lights. I worked hard and had fun.

Bees

Today me and my mom and dad went to Lyndale Park in Minneapolis for our first bee survey. We got taught how to catch a bee and it was a little hard finding bees.  Dad was trying to catch two bees at two different times in one container.  And he did it. You might be wondering why there's a picture of a leopard frog. That was because we saw a leopard from there.

Kinnickinnic State Park

Today me and mom went to Kinnickinnic State Park in Wisconsin.  We took hikes all around the park and one of them was the beach where I found lots of rocks.  We went over the near the parking lot and had lunch.  After lunch we went to the playground nearby and there was lots of fun stuff.  It was like American Ninja Warrior.  We started to leave Wisconsin later and we went to Nininger Township in Dakota County near our house.  We went to the driving range and people who didn't want to finish the balls, gave their balls to me.  And I had more practice than mom and dad.
