The other day, I went to Jackson Park with my friend Salem. I biked for two and a half hours at Jackson Park; it is this really cool bmx/dirt jump track about a twenty-minute drive from my house. When we got there, we started to bike on a small set of jumps on the right hand track. Once we warmed up we hit the medium size jumps. They are the same height as the far left ones, but the far left has a wider gap. Someone had messed with the lips so it launched you straight up. The highest I got was about four and a half feet off the lip (my wheels got that high)! While we were biking, this old man came and Salem asked what he was doing. He said he was the landscaper and looking at where to put in some trees so there is shade. In the summer it is unbearable without shade! After he left, some guy pulled up with loads of bikes. After about five minutes there was a mob of little kids there biking. There was this one kid in overalls biking the wrong way on the track which I thought was funny!

Here are our top Five chickens and why: we will be rating them on amounts of eggs, color of bird/egg and pure awesomeness 1. Leghorn (Foghorn) she lays 300 eggs per year, plain white and white eggs (Fist place because she lays the most eggs). 2.Alstralorp ( Penguin) lays 250 eggs per year, pure black (used to look like a penguin). Second place because she looks second best (Bully looks the best he is a rooster). 3. Dominique (Twin) can lay up to 275 eggs per year, black and white, and lay brown eggs. Third place because color/amount of eggs. 4. Plymouth Rock (Twin looks the same as Dominique) lays only 200 eggs per year. Fourth because she lays less than other Twin or else they would be tied. 5. Salmon Favorlle (Fish) is fifth with her WACKY looks and 200 eggs per year this little chicken got Fifth with sheer AWESSOMENESS! Last weekend, my friend Levi and I went to an all day concert at Franny’s Farm, (he was in a band I was not). There was a small pond with a canoe, that we could ride in, we spent a while boating around and looking for frogs. Eventually Levi suggested to look under a dock so I paddled over then pulled us under. There were three or four massive bull frogs! I started prodding one in the butt to make it hop towards us and BOOM! It jumped right into our boat! I snatched him up and got soaked in the process. I made Levi pull us out so I could show my Mom, and let her take a picture. After that we showed some people and let him go. We caught another one but we let him go before Mom could take a picture. 0 0 0 *flashback* during the summer, Levi and I went to Franny’s Farm for Andi’s farm camp… “Hey Levi, come here I found a massive frog!” I hollered. “Okay, be there in a second,” he replied. I heard his feet, and they sound like a herd of elephants, “SHHHH!” I yell. “Okay!” he whispered and then he was there. “I’ll grab him,” I said as I moved into position to grab it. The frog must have seen me and leapt towards the water, I lunged but Levi had a loose grip on my feet and I fell in (I soaked my legs and shoes) he pulled me out and we went to go find something else.

I heard her yell, “GRANT!” and I ran outside yelling, “Snake, snake, snake!” before I knew it was even a snake. My sister had tried to follow me but slipped and fell on her face (she had socks on). When I finally got to Mom I found a two-foot Eastern King snake. I grabbed it, but not before it could bite me! (I released it where I found it) Facts:
Dirt jumps in Jackson Park, Hendersonville, N.C
Yesterday my friend Salem and I went to an overgrown BMX bike park! I had never been to one so I was really excited. First, I warmed up, did some small jumps and a mini pump track, and then I moved over to some three foot jumps. They were extremely fun and easy, so I moved to some huge ones that were a lot harder. After I got the hang of it, I was bossing the jumps! There was a huge berm, maybe seven feet tall, and a pump track attached to the course. One jump I nearly got three feet off of! I really liked the layout; it had three routes side by side: the far right was all smaller ramps, the middle one had big ramps, and the far left one was extremely steep and meant for flips (I did not do any). The middle route was my favorite. I would jump the first ramp, wheelie the second one, pump the last one before the berm, pedal like mad to pump my way through the pump track, and then do it all over again. I did that for two whole solid hours (sadly we have no photosL). Those were the biggest jumps I have ever done!
![]() Three weeks ago, we got four Shetland sheep! One named Cow/Windy looks just like a teeny cow, she has a black and purple tongue, is really shy and loves animal crackers. Then we have Kalmia, whose name means mountain laurel, which is deadly to sheep! Kalmia is basically the opposite of Cow, she acts as friendly as a dog, and is black with a purple tongue, kind of like a chows! And there’s Ivy who is by far the sweetest, she is my mom’s sheep. I do not know if it is weird that she does not like animal crackers, because all the other sheep do. Last but not least, there is…Goat or Charlotte. She will eat anything including our boots! She is slightly shy, does not want to be petted and at the same time really wants to be petted, so she will run up to you and shove her face into yours but as soon as you reach a hand out to pet her she head-butts your hand away and stomps!
