Fish Feeding Time

Unfortunately the weather today was bad so we canceled the scout trip and I couldn't visit Ruth because she is feeling sick. So I had to find some other ways to keep myself entertained. Here is how my day went so far. I slept in until 10:00am then I looked after the fish and watched Family for 30 minutes then I watched WFN (World Fishing Network.) At 11:00am I went downstairs and had something to eat then I went over to the church to help Grandpa. I went over there and moped the floor, changed the dirty garbage bags with clean ones, took the garbage out of the sanctuary. By 2:00pm I was done so I went on Club Penguin for a bit and there are having a party at the dojo. I came back at 3:00pm and tried to get a video of me cleaning the aquarium but as I finished I realised I forgot to press the record button. Oops, that was a waste of time. Anyway I tried again and this time I did one called Fish Feeding Time (I posted it above.) Anyway now I'm working on a project, read about it tomorrow.

Goodbye,

Family Cruise Trip to the Caribbean

On Thursday November 27, 2008 somebody will be driving us to an airport in Toronto and the plane will take us to Florida. For a day, we plan to get a tour guide and go fishing. The next day we are going on a cruise and it will take us to the Caribbean for a week, stopping every day for a couple of hours at an island. Then it will take us back to Florida and we will be driven to the airport, flown to Toronto and will be driven to our house. Wow, that day will be tiring but it will be worth it. And we will be back late on Saturday December 6, 2008 and rested by the next day. Anyway here is everyone who is coming with us; Aunt Lori, Uncle Bruce, Aunt Ruth, Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, Jesse and me, all nine of us!
Goodbye,

Special Guest

Today at Breslau Public School a scientist and engineer came in our portable after recess. She explained to us about space and nearly everyone asked questions 10 times! She really made my classmates like space when she teached (no offense Ms. Walder.) Anyway after an hour she left and we continued with our next school period. I'll have more time to write about it tomorrow.
Goodbye,
Birdman

Remembrance Day

As you all know today is Remembrance Day. We had a assembly at our gymnasium about it, here is my story of it. At Period 4 our class was called down to the gymnasium for the assembly. We sat down there and waited for the other classes to show up. Once they did we began the assembly. Two people from each class and Mr. Grobe (our principal) carried a reef filled with Poppies. Then the Grade 7's read the poem "In Flanders Fields". Then Ms. Pealcha gave us ideas on what to think about in the two minute moment of silence. Then they played the advertisement about Remembrance Day shown on Television 2006 and 2007. Then we did our moment of silence and Mr. Grobe did a speech and we left. It was Period 5 by the time it was over.

My Weekend (posted on monday)

Major Aquarium Clean-Up

Today I cleaned my aquarium, I did the following changed 20% of the wwater, cleaned the cover and filter. and more.

Stunning Sighting

Today as I was walking Max I saw a snake eating a frog. Read more about it tomorrow.

Centre Island Trip

Yesterday after church we went to Centre Island, Toronto. At the parking lot there, we meet the Panterllesco family (we had planed to meet them there.) I asked them if they brought there DS's because I was hoping to go on via Bark Mode with them on our nintendogs game. Unfortunately, Lucus had broke his and Jacob wasn't interested in it anymore so they didn't bring them. Lucus brought his skateboard and Jacob brought his scooter. We walked while Lucus and Jacob rode their skateboards and scooters. On the way to the fairy our parents talked with Lucus' and Jacob's parents Joe and Heather. There was a long line up to the fairy but we didn't have to wait that long after we got our tickets.

Spectacular Fishing Day

This morning we went to the St. Jacob's Market. Like always it was very hot but the first few minutes we arrived there we spotted Michael, Lacy and Lacy's parents. We went shopping for a while and then grabbed something to eat. After that we went fishing at ______ _____ ___________ ____. It was amazing we got fish from bass to catfish and from sunnies to chubs. It was an amazing day on how many fish we caught. First Jesse caught a small catfish, then a small sunnie but after that we all started catching tons of fish! In fact the biggest fish weighed almost 5 pounds. That's a record for us! At about 7pm we left to go to a Grand River Trail. There the sign said there was pike and crappie and a guy told us there was bass. So we dropped our fishing rods in and my mom caught a bass and I almost caught a very strong fish and I think it was a trout. Anyway it was getting late so we left. All the species we caught were, Mudpud Catfish, Channel Catfish, Smallmouth Bass, Rock Bass, Bluegill Sunfish, Pumkinseed Sunfish and... you'll have to read tomorrow to find out. For the full inside story read my blog tomorrow. But for now, yawn! I got to get some sleep. Its almost 9:30pm! Anyway, Goodbye until tomorrow.

Fishing

Today we went fishing to the backwater pond again, although this time there was very little fish biting. Possibly it was because we fished in the early afternoon, but I don't know. Anyway here is our story. At 3:45pm we went fishing to a backwater pond. Soon there was a lily pad moving across the pond as if it was doing it by itself. We didn't see anything pushing it so I was a little spooked but curious on what was causing it to do that. About 20 minutes later it happened again but that time I noticed a brown thing pushing it. Few, that's a relief! Ahh, my mom just spoke and I didn't know she was there. Man, bad day for me because I'm getting scared and startled a lot. Anyway back to the story. Lily pads had moved for the second time but that time we knew a otter, beaver or muskrat did it. Then all of a sudden a fish jumped leaving ripples in the water. So, I tried to cast there but it didn't turn out so well. Neither did it when my mom casted there. Oh well, after that my mom caught a sunfish and small bass. Of course we let them go but I wanted to keep the sunfish but my mom says we can't eat sunfish...I know you can its just my mom won't believe me...isn't that right mom? Ha ha. Oops, my mom me type that. Ahh, stop tickling me mom! Sorry, but I still ain't deleting that sentence. You know what why don't you tell your side of the fishing story for once. No? OK. Anyway I had a good time which would have been better without the mosquitos though. Thanks anyway mom! Goodbye, Birdman.

Gone Fishin' ... Again!

Yesterday night my mom and I went fishing to a logal backwater pond off the Grand River. I had put a Grasshopper on my hook and my mom put a Nightcrawler on her hook. The fish kept nibbling the Grasshoppers off the hook so eventually I switched to Nightcrawlers. Then I caught a Pumkinseed Sunfish. Then my mom caught many small White Suckers, again I caught a fish but this time it was a small Largemouth Bass. After that my mom caught large White Suckers. Finally after an hour and a half we caught a fish we could eat. Its weird that everytime we go there at 8:30pm we start catching Rock Bass. Wait, at about 7:30pm a heron goes to the exact place and so do the geese. With the Rock Bass at 8:30 comes a night-heron and at 9:00pm bats come. Its like animals have a routine or can tell what time it is by how dark it is...Weird! Anyway, back to the story. Where was I, oh ya my mom finally cau

More Fishing

Yesterday night at 8:00pm we went fishing at a backwater pond. First I caught a sunfish, then my mom caught some suckers but around 8:30pm, everyone accept me caught many bass. Although we only kept 3 because most of what they caught were small. We came home at 9:20pm and I filled our laundry sink with cold water and placed the fish in it. By the next morning they were dead so I weighed and measured them and the largest Rock Bass (the one my mom caught) was 1 kg. and 21 cm. long. Then I cleaned them and placed them in the freezer. Now its evening and I'm typing this post. Even though everyone accept me caught "good fish" I still had a good time helping by putting worms on and taking fish off the hook. Thanks mom and dad!

Two days ago I saw 7 new species including the Northern Rough-winged Swallow and the Eastern Kingbird but I'm still not sure what the exact species of the rest are, all I know is that I've never seen them before.

This morning I woke to find Chipping Sparrows feeding young Brown-headed Cowbirds. Unfortunately, its just another bird that's been fooled by the cowbird. Anyway at 1:00pm people started coming and everybody got to meet each other and get some pics of each other. Around 6:00pm we started racing our ATVs and Dirt Bugs which was also very fun. We all had a fabulous time! It was a great day but now my dad wants to go birding with me so I got to go.
