Other Summer Fun: The Three Bachelors

Mom went to the mountains with her book club this weekend, so the JB's were on their own. I left Kevin strict instructions -- the boys must journal about their weekend adventures! I knew it might be a little difficult to get them to actually sit down and do it, but Kevin came through, just like I knew he would! He had planned lots of fun activities for them to do, and then when he had them sit down to write in their journal he had listed all the activities out on the white board, to help prompt them (Fishing. McDonalds. Pool with friends. Playing outside. Sleepover. Playing video games. Baseball practice. Ice Cream.). Here's what they choose to write about . . . .



Nathan: When my mom went to the mountains me, Noah, and my Dad were left home to have fun. Me and Noah left home and went to get Rachael. Then we decided to get my friend Jeffrey. We were over at his house and we put a tarp over the back of his dad's work truck so it looked like an army troop transport truck. We also rolled down the windows of his truck and got inside and "drove" around and played on it and in the truck. Also we eventually brought out some little chihuahuas and put them in the truck. But some little girls came and took them so we went to get my dog. Her name is Olive. I took here with us to play manhunt and play with us by the truck.


We also went back in the bushes and played manhunt from 12:00 pm to 9:00 pm. And at 9:00 pm me and Noah called by dad and asked if Jeffrey could sleep over at our house and he said "YES"! So we booked over to our house. We played Animal Crossing for a little bit. Then we tried to go to sleep but we kept talking . Then we couldn't get comfortable so we told my Dad, so he let us play video games until he went to bed which was at 12:39 am. So after that we fell asleep. The end.






Noah: Yesterday we played at my friend's house. We played in the back of his pickup truck. We put his chihuahua in the pickup truck. The chihuahua was barking. We went and played hide and seek. We went back to my friend's house. We talked in the back of his pickup truck. We went inside and got a drink. We went back outside. We went to my house and got my dog and brought her to my friend's house. We played with my dog. We brought my dog back home. We went back and talked. My Dad called me home for dinner. I had fun playing with my friends.

On Saturday we got ice cream at Bruster's. I got vanilla with sprinkles. My Dad got peach flavored ice cream and my brother got cookies and cream flavored ice cream. I had to lick fast because it was melting. I licked all the sprinkles off. It was good. We drove home. I had fun getting ice cream.
