POST by RENZ: The Haunt of Our Jaunt

Lorenzy with her NEW YORK cousins

Right now we are in Wisconsin at a camp. We have been in Minnesota and Wisconsin over the last week. On the first day of being here, about a few hours after arriving, Jose, Orlando, Eliezer, and I decided to go into the woods that were close by and well, just explore.

We decided to make it even more fun by recording it and pretending like we were in a horror movie or something like that. My phone battery was low so we decided to use Jose’s huge, black phone.

When we were about 30 feet away from where we entered, we came across a really big, wooden, old looking door. It was really tall and creepy looking. On the other side of the door, there was a net hung up and on the net were black strips of some sort of plastic. It was the only way to get to the other side and so we raced through it not wanting to stop, for fear of the nasty black things being some sort of poisonous snake animal.

Once we were on the other side of the strange obstacle, Eliezer told Jose to pause the recording until we found something else interesting. He went to pause it, when a shocked expression appeared on his face. We all looked at him waiting for him to explain why he looked shocked.

He glanced at us and with embarrassment and said that he had accidently not been recording. We just stared at him and then burst out laughing so hard. He just stood there looking embarrassed until he decided to laugh along with us. Once we had gotten back to normal, we kept on walking.

We had not been walking for too long when we came up to this tarp covered hut thing. We found the entrance and before slowly walking in, Eliezer told Jose to make sure that he was actually recording this time.

It was really dark but we just kept on going. Once we found the exit, we climbed onto this black thing and then jump off at the other side. After I had jumped of the wobbly wooden thing, I looked at it and saw that it was an empty broken coffin.

We were just wandering around when we came to another sight. This time we discovered three wooden crosses. (I wonder why everything was made out of wood and the black tarp stuff…) On a tree close to the crosses we saw the head of a deer hanging onto the side of a tree. Lying on the floor underneath it was the skull of a dear head and a few bones.

Orlando picked up the skull of the deer and started talking into the camera. Eliezer stood underneath the deer attached to the tree and made ‘deer’ faces. We became bored and kept on walking.

We were strolling along and found an even bigger, tarp covered, fort thingy. It wasn’t too far away and so we started walking towards it. Then we heard a bush move on our left side and automatically froze. We looked over and saw that there was nothing there. We keep on walking.

*SNAP* a branch behind us broke and we looked ever so slowly behind us. We saw that what had snapped the branch was actually Erick. He told us that he had been trying to scare us, but had failed miserably.

Once we got into the huge dark fort, I saw that there was a steering wheel at the front and looked around. It was an abandoned school bus with a tarp over it!! We walked through the bus and then entered this really bright room. On the top there was white fabric and hanging down were sacks with who knows what inside.

I walked through and then felt something hit my back. I looked behind me to see Eliezer bending over laughing, and a sack flying through the air. He threw the sack at me! I ran out with the rest of the group, leaving him there running around like a lost sheep stuck in a bush of thorns.

Our group ran all the way back until we got inside, laughing and joking all the way. After not too long, we each fell asleep wherever we could. It was an exhausting day. Traveling, and then having an adventure. How cool was that?

POST by RAF: Hello Hula Hips!

Raf with his Hoop

One night my dad, Elizabeth and Alex were watching a movie and I was on my own computer, I was playing club penguin. “I will show you the game at the bottom when I finish” I said to my dad. Anyway, after my dad and everybody else were finished with that movie, I had to go to bed. Then my dad came up to say goodnight and he went out, but I said wait “can you leave the door open” and my dad said “no” and walked on. “Every time I ask him all the time he always says no.”

Chloe
The next day I saw a jump rope and a hula-hoop, I did not know who it was for so I just went downstairs, but after three seconds I run back upstairs to get it. So I opened the bag and got the jump rope and I jumped for like 3 minutes and then ran back upstairs to get the hula-hoop. 

I hula hooped for like 5 minutes. The hula-hoop I liked the most. I will show you a video at the end to show you witch one I like the most.

Then my dad got out of bed so I rushed upstairs with the jump rope and put the jump rope in its own place, then rushed downtairs to hide the hula-hoop. “I did that because I liked the hula-hoop more than the jump rope”. 

When my dad came down stairs he saw the hula-hoop and he said “ho ho ho ho now how did you open that? I can’t even open that?” and I said “are you saying that that hula-hoop is mine?” and he said “yap”.


 So everyday my dad would test me and my high score is 121 hulas. I think Chloe can do a trick with my hula-hoop too. Bye!

POST by SEZ: A Night Out in Nicaragua

Sez & Billy, several years ago...

One day, I went to the movies with my little step brother, Billy. We went to watch Iron Man Three. Some parts were scary, but the whole movie wasn’t that scary, but my mom closed Billy’s eyes real fast. We ate Mc Donald’s, not popcorn, not hot dogs, not even candy. We ate hamburgers, fry’s, we drank Coca Cola, it was delouses.

POST by RENZ: Cooking up a STORM!!!


Lorenzy with her cute little cousins in Rochester, New York

Right now, I am in Rochester, New York. I am staying with some friends of mine and my family’s, the Seaburgs. I am also here to visit my uncle, aunt, and their kids. I love being here. The people are really nice.

Sometimes when I go places like church, or to someone’s house with the Seaburgs or my uncle or aunt, I almost always have somebody say “LORENZY!!! How are you? I haven’t seen you for so long! I think the last time I saw you was when you were like two years old!” And most of the time I’m thinking in my head “I have no idea who you are but I’ll just act like I know you.” So I’m like “Ohh yeah.. Hey… What’s up?” It is horrible. However, sometimes the people start out saying “You probably don’t remember me…” and that doesn’t make me feel so guilty.

About a week after staying in the Seaburg’s new house, Josiah (the Seaburg’s oldest child) and I decided to make cookies. But not just any type of cookies, chocolate chip cookies.

We had so much fun making them. Izzy (the youngest child of the Seaburg family) helped us by pouring the ingredients into a huge clear bowl that we were using. She accidently dropped some of the brown sugar on the floor but no one seemed to notice much.

I mixed the ingredients together and Josiah did pretty much everything else. Once the cookie dough was all done, Cora and Aidan  (Their other kids) came over to us and asked us if they could have some cookie dough. We obviously said “no” since we made the cookie dough and also we are just really mean!

One of the best parts was next. We got to grab the gooey yellowish coloured dough and shape it into not so perfect circles. We watched T.V. whist we waited and when the house started smelling of wonderfully baked cookies, we took them out and set them on a tray to cool and put some more on trays to go into the oven.

We did that about three times until they were all done. Then, Jenny told Cora and Izzy to go and take some cookies to the neighbors. After the cookies had been delivered to some of their new neighbors, we got to have a few cookies each. Only a few of the cookies that we made were burnt, besides that they were absolutely PERFECT!

About two days later, we decided to make more cookies since the ones we had made before were so good. We did the exact same things as before so that they would be as awesome as the last time.

However, Izzy did not help us this time. At the end, after we had made a bunch of normal sized cookies, Josiah and I decided to make one big cookie. We did not have too much dough left over but it was bigger and fatter than all the other cookies. When it was done we split it between ourselves (Josiah and I).

Lorenzy with the Seaburg kids, Josiah & Izzy - Renzy is having the time of her life!

POST by RAF: At home in VILLageWOCK!



Rafman with the dogs in Colorado

Alex and Elizabeth’s house is maybe two small houses on top of each other and two small houses next to each other. They have 2 floors and then the basement, the first floor had 7 rooms and the second floor has 5 rooms. There are 2 bathrooms or maybe 3 bathrooms one of them are in the first floor and in that bathroom you can’t have a bath neither a shower because it is filled with buckets and the buckets are filled with cloths!


Elizabeth is a teacher and Alex is a math teacher in high school and a sport person. I think Alex and Elizabeth like there house. I played sorry with Alex and Elizabeth, I played guess who with Elizabeth, I made jokes with Alex, I played hop scotch with Elizabeth.


Alex and Elizabeth’s pets like to wrestle, fetch, lick, make squeaky noises, and swim.

Why I like this house? I like this house because it is big and my room is too. My favorite part of the house is the living room because I like to watch TV.
