Cape Cod Here I Come!

I will be posting more because I am going to Cape Cod! For those of you that don't know it's in Massachusetts. I will be going to the beach, running down to the local store The Mayflower to get the morning newspaper (I get paid), and to to get ice cream. Uncle Merlin has a house down on the Cape that we rent every year (we used to rent a small cottage but then the woman who owned the house sold it). So I will be bloging from there. See Ya Then!

Very Busy

I have been very busy and have not posted lately (OK lately is pushing it a little), but the good news is that I will be posting a lot more because we are going to Cape Cod! Uncle Merlin has a house there that he lets people rent. By the way my brother the 14 year old, now the 15 year old had his birthday on July 5th. When he saw the gift I got him he flipped, it was WarCraft 3 a game he had wanted for a long time. I got him the battle chest which contains Warcraft 3, The Froze Throne expansion, and the manuals that tell you how to win the games (without cheat codes). I will be writing a lot on Cape Cod and I hope you enjoy it. Oh and one last thing there is a problem with Lego Indiana Jones, and it that in the first level of the Last Crusade it gets stuck when the boss is on the island and does not jump in the boat. Please answer my question if you have the game. 

WALL-E review

I went to see WALLE-E Sunday. It was great! I lost track of how many scifi movie references they made. There was one about Omega man, Star Wars and ET. It was a great movie and I hope everyone goes to see it (I didn't even give anything away, yay).

Dun Dun Dun

As you know I got Lego Indiana Jones the video game when I graduated. Just wanted to say it is really fun! Some of the puzzles are a bit hard at first but once you get used to them they become easier. It is really funny too (as are all Lego video games) and if you find all five of the Star Wars Characters scattered around ( such Luke in a frozen cave) you can play as Hon Solo (I read about it). I hope everyone tries it (I wonder how many people get the title gag).

Freedom!

I graduated with honors. Well I guess you could say that. My awards were as follows: citizenship award, excellent attendance, and last but not least the presidential award for outstanding academic excellence. My gift from my grandparents was a watch and the gift from my parents and brother was Lego Indiana Jones the video game (or in this case the computer game). I am sad I have to leave my school and teachers. One of my teachers  is retiring  after  31 years of teaching.  She was my teacher for two years because she moved up with her class which I was in and was my 6th grade social studies teacher this year and she is my neighbor.

Finally!

I am finally graduating from  6th grade into middle school (our school goes through k-6) tonight, but  I still have to go back to school tomorrow (good thing it's a half day like all the other days this week). So I am finally graduating tonight. Yay!

Go the Distance

Sadly our team didn't win our last soccer game. Happily our team didn't lose our last soccer game. That's right, we tied 3-3. Now I can retire in peace.

Field Day

Sorry I haven't written but I have been busy. Yesterday and today are Field Day. My school has Field Day in which you participate in events that usually get you wet. 6th graders get to help out and I think we have the most fun ( our school goes through k-6). Yesterday grades k-2 got to go and today grades 3-5 are going. The 6th graders get to play with everything today after everyone else has gone. So Yay! 

Splash Down!

Today the 6th grade is taking a trip to water park called Splash Down Beach (even though it isn't a beach). It is our social. A social in our school is when one grade goes bowling, ice skating, etc. Our social was going to be snow tubing but the lodge at the snow tubing place was being rebuilt so we couldn't go. So the school let us go to Splash Down. Yay!

No Post

I didn't write a post yesterday because there was a big storm that knocked down a power line and caused a blackout.

Favorite Subject

Thanks to everyone who came over from Lance Mannion and all the comments. In answer to a comment my favorite subject is social studies which in my school means history. I also want to be a historian when I grow up. Not the kind that records history but, the kind that finds out about history like reading Greek scrolls (I like studying about ancient Greeks).

Friday the 13th War in DragonFable

The new Friday the 13th war has started! This happens every year( I have fought in one before). Basically  you fight undead  with masks  on. Enjoy!

Soccer Game

I won my soccer game today, the score was 2-0. So far out of nine games my team has, won 3 (counting today) tied one and lost all the rest. I'm retiring after this season (because I am too old) so I hope I win my last game next week.

A Few Good Books

Here is a list of some good books: The Freedy the Pig series, The 7th Tower book series, The Wangdoodle, The Harry Potter series,The Roawn Of Rin series, The Fragile Flag, and The Last Dog on Earth.

MechQuest Update

The new MechQuest update is live but only for star captains(you have to pay twenty dollars).

DragonFable Update

Today is a new DragonFable update. I hope they finish the Necropolis saga today.

Family Movie Night Posts

Every Friday night is Family Movie Night for our family. We watch a movie and have pizza. I will be bloging about them. Last week we watched Cheaper by the Dozen. This week we are watching Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (we had never scene either before) Enjoy!

They Just Don't Make Water Balloons Like They Used Too

They make water balloons harder now. Damon (my best friend) and I were throwing a water balloon (let's just call them WBs) back and forth and it hit the ground three times before it popped. I couldn't pop a different WB on myself (it just leaked). Once when Damon and Reed (another friend) tricked me and Reed throw a WB at me it bounced of me and popped on the ground. Another WB also did this. I mean they simply don't just pop any more.

DrangonFable and MechQuest

Did I mention that I like computer games? No? Well I do and two of my favorite online games are DrangonFable and MechQuest.  They are made by Atrix  Entertainment. DragonFable is my favorite but, they are both really fun. In Dragon Fable you are a brave adventurer (etheir a warrior, a mage, or a rogue) who is going to save the world. In MechQuest you're a mech pilot ( a mech is a giant robot) who is also going to save the world. The games are single player (unlike some other online games such as Runescape) so you never see other players. Also the games are free but you can't explore all of the game unless you pay twenty dollars. It sound like alot  but when you consider  that some games force ongoing payments it is worth it. You will be hearing more about these games as I blog on. 

Hey there! Hi there! Ho there! You're as welcome as can be!

  The first thing you should know is I am the son of Lance Mannion . I'm also known as the 12 year old. Second thing you should know, is that I'm crazy. You have to be crazy to be a blogger.  Thrid thing, is that I am a terrible speller. My post will be about a kid's life (my ELA teacher always says write about something you know about). School, movies, misc, will all be written about by a guy who thinks he has a better sense  of humor than he really does(just like his dad). Enjoy!
