"William and the Magic Seeds," a story by Liam A.

Once upon a time, there was faun named Liam who was sick. Someone came to help. His name was William.

The faun told William he could help him. He gave William instructions.

"Go to a cave and you'll see a sign saying 'DON'T COME IN OR YOU WILL BE EATEN BY A DRAGON!!!'" the faun said. "Sneak past the dragon and you will find a yellow flower that has magic seeds. Bring me four of the seeds."

William went to the dragon's cave, and he sneaked past the dragon, who was asleep. Then he grabbed the flower and left the cave.

He went back to Liam's treehouse. He shook the flower and ten seeds fell out. The faun took four of the seeds and baked them into a pie. Then he ate the pie, and he was cured.

William gave the left-over seeds to the beavers and his other friends, and then he went back to his home.

The end.

Science Fair at Jansen

Last week, we had a Science Fair at Jansen Avenue Elementary. I did a project on "vermiposting," which is composting with worms. Uncle Chris helped get me set up with a batch of 10 red wigglers. Thanks, Uncle Chris!

Boat trip to Lily Lake

We took a boat trip to Lily Lake last weekend. Skippy came with us! The fall colors were out in full force. Here are some pictures from the outing:

Summertime!

Party time!

Graduation!

Our kindergarten graduation was pretty cool. We sang songs and got diplomas!
The kindergarten class was great. Mrs. Veit was a wonderful teacher, and I will miss her next year.
Now I'm ready to go to the next grade.

Nature hike

Today, Mommy and Daddy took me and Carter on a hike in the woods. We walked to the fish hatchery pond and kept going toward Stewart Lake.
We found a baby frog, a baby salamander and two snails. Carter and I put them in our little cages for awhile, but we set all the critters free before they got motion sickness.

Here are some pictures from our adventure:

Daddy and I like to make up silly songs.
