We got back from camp yesterday! I had a really good time, though I didn't get to slide down the slide. :(
Today I get to go to camp for one week! I can't wait. They have a zip line! A zip line is a small ride. People go up on this platform (about 50 or more feet above the ground) and slide do harnessed onto a cable. it is really fun. Hopefully I can go on the zip line. (There is usually a long line.)
While I'm there I'll try and read Holes, so that I can give you my thoughts on the book. :)
I'll write soon,

Sarah and I have been everywhere this week, well, not everywhere but enough places. We went to our Grandma's house, where we made curtains and a bedspread for my bedroom, and then to our friend's house. The sewing we hard, but it looked really nice when it was done.
Hi everyone! How are you? I had pizza for lunch! Peperonni! We went to this really cheap place, and got a large pizza for around $7.99!
Bird is at an amusment park without me. :( Well, it's late, I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow.
Sarah is going to Universal Studios tomorrow. :( Unfortunatly I'm not going, it would be so much fun.
I didn't grade as much today, but I still graded the Chapter one Test they took. Which was sort of simple, because it was multiple choice.
I graded tons of students' schoolwork today. I think I probably graded about 9 different assignments. Ugh!
How is everyone? I'm fine, but I have to go to bed really soon.
I found Rupert Grints website, the "fun pics" on the site, are really fuuny, you should see them.
Do you think only British actors should be allowed to be in the Harry potter movies? I found this discusion on a website, and I think you might enjoy reading other peoples opinion.
Here is my opinion:
I personally think everyone should be allowed to act in the Harry potter movies. You shouldn't have to be British. One reason I think this, is because some of the characters act/talk... like they are from places other than the U.K.
Such as Dean Thomas, in the early books of Harry Potter. When Dean Thomas and Ron argue over Dean's soccer poster. SOCCER! As far as I know, British people would use the word football, instead of soccer.
Also, I always thought of Cho as Chinesse, Jpeness, Korean...so shouldn't a Korean, Chinesse, or Japannes, be alowed to play her? Then, in the fourth book, the schools are from different plces, or other people besides British should be able to play them. I mean, the charactors are other people.
Besides, many people love Harry Potter, and I'm sure that if any of us were allowed to play a role in the Harry potter movie, we would all do our best. So, why can't we all have a spot, why just British people?
I really enjoy reading JK Rowlings work, and I think she is an excelent author, (I would love to meet her) but, I think the reason other people can't play the HP parts, is because JK Rowling may have something against other people besides British. If you watch the interview on the Harry potter DVD, with her and the screenwriter, you may see what I mean.
Post your opinion under comments.
I have found that these websites are an excelent sorce of information about Harry Potter. I'm sure you will enjoy them too.

Dad's summer school started today. Right now I'm in the summer school class room. Dad is talking.
Sarah and I are reading Harry Potter 5 to dad. We started on the car a few days ago, for something to do. So far we are on about page 114, we would have been farther if dad didn't want to take reading (actually listening) breaks.
One good thing for us, or at least me, is I get to work on my reading out loud. I'm kind of bad.
I think he's enjoying the book, athough at first he though it was just a stupid childrens book. Don't worry, we are changing his opinion! Hehehe. I think he thinks it's intense, and we have barely started.
Yesterday Sarah, and I played a two-player game of Frozen Bubble. It was difficult, because when one person would drop some bubbles, they would add onto the other persons side. I won almost all the games we played. (Don't tell anyone, but some of the games I won was because Sarah didn't play, or lost on purpose. Shhhhhh!)
Sarah and I arrived at our papa's house just a little while ago at 11:29. I hope we soon get to see our cousins, Kim, and Cameron.
My dad, Sarah, and I wrote an article on Tux Reports about how Linux IS an Umbrella.
