My vacation and hockey too

Me and my family went to the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth for July 4th. It was pretty fun.

First, we went to Bronner's Christmas Store and I got some candy.

Then on the first night, they had the fireworks and they were pretty cool. I got some red, white and blue light up glasses. Before it was real dark, someone lit off a real loud M-80 and it made a big boom and smoke cloud. It was a little scary because we did not expect it. We don't know what happened with the person who lit that off.

The next day, I ran a 2k running race. 2k is 1.2 miles. Before the race, my dad bought me a special yellow running shirt and I really like it. I ran the race in 11 minutes and 2 seconds. My dad ran just a little with me but I said I wanted to cross the finish line by myself so he did not end the race with me. There is one picture of me finishing the race but there are a few barricades in front of me. There is another picture of me with my red face after the race because I was tired.

Then I did some swimming with Alex and we also played miniature golf which is inside the resort.

I also got 677 tickets in the game room because I hit the jackpot on a game. I cashed them in for some pretty good prizes. The best were sandals and a German hat.

Also my hockey team, the Orange Crush ended our season with 3 wins and 9 losses. That is not really great but what is great is that the coach from the Novi Roller Cats who are the best team around and in a higher league asked my parents if I would like to join their team and we said yes and this is going to be great. I got 11 goals in 11 games for the Orange Crush and the coach told me I was the leading scorer so now I will be moving up.
