Dear Friends & Family,
Hello, how are you? This month I had my state cross country meet. It was really nice weather for the meet and it was exciting too. I took 48th place out of 72 people. Our team did really well and we got chicken sandwiches after we ran. It was very exciting and so much fun.
We went up to little cottonwood canyon for a walk. We found some really cool nature and saw the red and orange leaves too. My brothers and I played on the river and it was awesome even though I fell in the water.
The time finally came for our cruise! We flew to Chicago and then to Charleston and got on the boat then. When we got on the boat there was so much to see. We saw dolphins and other fish. WE left at 4:00 and they blew a big horn which scared Sam.
On the boat there was so much to do. We had our kids clubs to go to and went there a lot. It was such a big ship that we could hardly keep track of where everything was. It was so much fun though.
We could also mini golf on the boat. Kyle and I went there a ton. We played night games and morning games. It was so amazing.
We went snorkeling and swimming at princess cays. We saw a variety of fish including Flounders. The water was so clear and nice. WE found some really cool shells too. I bought a conch shell, a treasure box, and a ship in a bottle.
Our room on the boat was one of our favorite places to crash. We had a TV in the room so we could watch TV. It was fun.
In South Carolina we went to the Calhoun mansion. We did a tour of the mansion and saw many cool things. I also bought a crystal from one of the chandeliers that they took down. It was awesome.
I went to the Middle School dance as Napoleon Dynamite. The dance was so much fun and I had an blast.
We had our Halloween party at Uncle Darren's house this year. We played games, ate and had a great time. We watched the BYU game and on the way back on the highway we saw one of Brandon's friends in his car. How ironic.
I carved a BYU pumpkin this year. It was so cool and I had a fun time carving it.
I got a ton of Halloween candy this year. I went with my school friend Jacob and we hit two neighborhoods. We got so much good candy and stayed out for two hours. Jacob was Mario and I was Napoleon Dynamite. It was awesome.
School is going well. I got High Honor roll for first term. I love Utah Studies. I like playing with Lego's and with my Friends.
Bye, Eric
