Batter up!
This morning grandpa taught mum and myself how to play baseball, it was so funny trying to hit the ball…..we got better at it by the end.
I’d like to bring a baseball home to NZ and start playing it at school next year. Anyway it was really fun and after that we went to the tennis court and I have to say we’re getting better at that too…which is good.
When we got home I asked grandpa if we could go down into his workshop and make something out of wood. I decided I’d like to make a sword, and I’m loving it.
So today we cut out the shape of it and then I sanded it by hand until it was as smooth as an eel. We’re going to use some nice wood to make a handle on it and tomorrow we’ll finish working on it, then I’ll oil it.
If its not too big we might be able to post it back home to NZ in the package of jackets (my leather jacket from Germany and my camo jacket from the USA) when we send it.
Also today we were going to go ice skating too but sadly the rink was closed for repairs which was a bummer. But next time when we come back after summer camp it’ll be open so I’ll be able to go with my dad and Helen as well as mum.
This is my grand parents back yard.
See you next time bye…
I’m really exited about the sword its going to be awesome.
