Good Bye Cape Cod

Yesterday we left Cape Cod for the year.  We got home around 8:00 p.m. Every year we collect license plates and try to get every state. This Year we got forty-two states, Washington D.C., and 4 provinces on Canada. My favorite to get was New Mexico because it is rare and I got It by my self. Oh well at least I get to go to Wayfinders. It is a fantasy camp (not over night) were you battle with foam swords. The main part of it is the big adventure game which is a story like Lord of the Rings or other fantasy books. There are four classes which you can chose from: warrior a unit welding a sword and is the main attacker, A mage a spellcaster unit who can cast spells and throw damage bolts (little foam balls) such a fire ball or magic bomb (what ever the person calls it, it is the same thing), cleric a spellcaster who heals people and brings them pack to life (I was cleric last year) they get a small foam dagger (mine was really cool), and the final class is alchemist  who helps people (mostly warriors) by Using a potion to make the sword better, they only have a very small dagger to defender his/her self (my friend Davis killed some one with it) .I will tell you about it later, bye1

More Fishing

Yesterday I set out with my rod, live bait, and my new hat.

 

I lost four worms. That's because the fish were biting but I did not get anything. That is until I got lucky. I got another bite and this time I got  something.  A piece of seaweed.

I think I will catch an old boot next. My dad and I were trying to guess how the "catch the old boot when fishing" idea came from. My dad pointed out that people had been fishing with rods for a long time and wearing boots even longer so there is probably a cave drawing of a fisher catching a boot.

Fishing fishing over the bounding pond

I got a fishing rod when I was at a store and I've used it to fish. I caught some fish eggs so far. After all you have to start some where.

Cape Cod Report

We have gone to two different beaches so far, Lighthouse Beach and Oyster Pond (even though it's a inlet). I go to the Mayflower (a store that sells general items) every morning to get the newspaper (I get paid 75 cents). I got ice cream last night and it was very good. I will be reporting in again soon.
