Other Summer Fun: Sailing Camp & Grandma's House (Nathan)

Sailing Camp & Grandmama's House

Week 1

July 5 - 11, 2010

July 5, 2010 -- My Bag & My First Day of Sailing

Nathan: First I want to talk about my bag. My bag is a bag I made by sewing. It is stripy with a blue ribbon tie sewed on of course. I only sew at my Grandmama's house because she's the only family member that has sewing equipment. I am going to sell all of my bags.








Next my sailing. We did capsize recovery and it was VERY hard. You had to wrap your legs around the center board and push down with your arms and legs. I will have to try a dry roll. A dry roll is when the boat is tipping over and you go over the side that will be in the air. After that you jump onto the center board, trying to tip the boat back over.







July 11, 2010 - The Rest of the Week

Sailing

Sailing is fun when the people in your boat aren't complete IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would say more but the content would be an inappropriate use of "colorful" language.

Sewing Update

I have made three bags and I have sold one for $2.00. I am happy because I had my first customer.

Fishing

I went fishing with my Granddaddy and cousin Simon in a pond used for duck hunting. The pond was sort of hidden in the woods. Simon caught the most fish. He caught three pin fish. I caught two, one pin fish and one minnow. And Granddaddy only caught the water grass.

Visiting

On Saturday Shannon (my uncle), Whitney (my aunt), and Eli (my cousin) visited Meredith's (cousin) new baby (name is Garrett). We went and had dinner and apple pie. And we saw Anna Claire (cousin) and we also played billiards.

Mom's Note: Nathan just finished his first week of sailing camp in Beaufort (through the Maritime Museum) and has one more week to go. Monday, his first day, was excellent. Friday was not a great day! But in sailing camp there's always a day or two that aren't great, so we're hoping Monday will be a better day. Noah and I will go down to Beaufort on Thursday this week, and say over Thursday night so we'll get to see him sailing Friday morning. We are really missing Nathan and can't wait to see him and bring him home!
