I mentioned in the previous post that if people wanted to send in a short story about their summer, they could, then I would post it online. So here are the summer sum-ups of Somiya B., Hope C., Charity P., and also my own.

MY VERY FAST- BUT STILL VERY AWESOME SUMMER
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This past summer has gone by very fast for me. It definitely was a different summer, but different isn't always bad. I got to start out the summer with an amazing trip to Canada's Wonderland with some of my closest friends. From going on the Leviathan six times in a row, to posing for every roller coaster pic, to watching my friend drown her hot dog in ketchup; my friends and I made some awesome memories that I know we will never forget! My family and I got to rent a cottage this year. Although it wasn't what we expected, we still found ways to have fun; like renting a motor boat, going into town, and reading- ALOT!
Another highlight of my summer was camping at Camp YES. I always enjoy Camp, and have fun every year. I have many, many, many memories from my one week at camp, and I could write many essays on just my one week! This years Camp YES was also fun because I made SO many new friends this year! The week before school started, I got to do one more AWESOME thing. My sister and I invited four of our friends over for a movie marathon. From nine o'clock in the morning to ten o’clock at night, we watched the extended versions. That's a lot of movies, laughs, interruptions, and triplets falling off couches;)
Although my summer went by way to fast, God still allowed me to have tons of fun!

My Amazing Summer
****************
Early this summer, I went to Wonderland for grade eight graduation. It was for Robert, Somiya, Jamie, Sandy, and me. They are all now high schoolers from Faithway, as well as close friends. It was so much fun!!!!!!! We rode the Leviathan eight times, and the Behemoth seven. We rode just about every other ride in the park, too! (Minus kiddie-land of course!) Two of my favourites were Psyclone and Riptide. Jamie stood in front of Thrill Burger restraint, and declared, “This is my favourite ride!”

For the last week of June, my family and I rented a cottage. It was so much fun! We had a sandy beachfront right in the backyard! I caught a sunfish from the dock, too! Our Great Dane, Justus, webbed feet and all, hates water with a passion. My dad had to throw him in the lake. The first time, he came out faster than he went in!
It was my first year in the 13-15 group at camp! I had a blast!
Two weeks later, I went as a worker in the 10-12 group. I served tables, cleaned bathrooms, and got a lot more free time than a camper! The other server girls were Michaella, Sarah #1, Sarah#2, Margaret, and Casey. I got to work in the Tuck shop, too! The only bad part was having to clean the boys’ shower house, along with getting ‘bleached’ by a certain person….
The last week before school, the triplets and I went to our friends' house to have a movie marathon. We had so much fun! Then we got to sleep over! Halfway through our third movie, their Mom read a text my mom had sent her out loud….
Klara and Vanessa, two of the camp’s kitchen staff had thought it would be funny if they left six frogs in the worker girls’ bedroom. Two dried-up, dead frogs had just fallen out of my pillowcase…. Thanks Klara! This definitely means war. To be continued next year at camp!
Then, two days after our sleepover, my Mom surprised us, and we met the Browns at the park! Somiya and I just sat on top of the jungle gym and talked the whole time. Way more fun than going down slides!
Wow, I can’t wait to see what next summer is like after this amazing summer?! God has blessed me so much!

My summer was very fast-moving and was finished in no time. But this summer, as fast as it came and went, it was probably one of the best summers ever! On our vacation in July to the Maritimes, we visited our family. That was one of the best parts of the trip! I enjoyed camping on the Cabot Trail, and swimming at the beach, and having lots of adventures. I'm thankful that God made family, because my summer would have been so boring without them.
A few times this summer, my whole family went up to the cottage and we all had a great time swimming, sitting around a campfire, eating s'mores, and going on boat rides.
I'm pretty sure this is the best summer ever... but who knows? Maybe next year will be even better!

This Summer
***********
I enjoyed playing baseball with my Dad at the park, it was fun. I was a back-catcher, and got an injury on my nose. Then we went to MacDonald’s! Yum!
On the last week of June, we went to the cottage. When we got there, it was seven thirty pm!
Dad and I went fishing. Our line broke three times! The third time, we had almost caught a large-mouth bass!
Before the cottage, we went to my Aunt Patsy’s and went swimming in her pool.then we did a butterfly release, and the butterflies crawled on my fingers. June was busy!
In July was my birthday. Grandma took me to the CN Tower. The elevator was so scary! Then, at the top, it was awesome! After that, we went to great grandpa’s. we met Jughead, Auntie Karen’s cat. We got home at one o’clock am!Then I woke up at four-thirty am the next morning!
We went to a swamp, Jeddy caught some frogs. I made a big bunch of wildflowers.
In August, I went to camp. I made a new friend. Her name’s Rheanna.
I went to the park and learned how to play basketball. I wasn’t very good.
I have had a very fun summer! Even without getting to ride my bike a lot! :P
THE END
