Last weekend my family and I went to the the University of Notre Dame. It was a ton of fun. We toured the campus and then watched the Notre Dame football team play against Stanford. Notre Dame won 28 to 2i.  I really like Notre Dame and I hope I get to go again.

The summer of 2008 was great. From the 21st till the 28th of June I went to Stone Harbor, New Jersey. From the 11th till the 13 of July I went to Lake Chatauqua, New York. Then from the 13th till the 20th I went to camp Ligonier (in Pennslyvania). Next, from the 20th till the 26 I visited St. Augustine Florida with my uncle Joseph. Then I went to  a Pittsburgh Pirates game, against the Colorado Rockies. We lost.  It was really fun, though.  And then, on the 4th of August, I went to the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp at Saint Vincents College in Latrobe, Pennslyvania.Ishould be going back to school on the 25th and John should be leaving for the college of Columbia (which is in America not Columbia the country) on the 25th, too.

On the tenth, my family and I went to Chautaqua, New York. It was a ton of fun.The was a giant lake ( It least a lake that looked giant ). There was also a mini golf place. It was awesome.

I’m home.Vacation was a ton of fun. There was a mini-golf place ( one time I shot a 39, 3 over par!), a fudge place, a movie-theatre (though I did not see any movies.), tennis courts, the beach, of course. The water was freezing, it was it least 60 degrees! I woke up early to see the sunrise and to build sand castles with my mom. It all was a ton of fun.

As of June 5 it is summer for me! It is fun so far. Everyone in our family is enjoying summer so far. Especially Katherine.

Katherine is enjoying the summer by reading while tanning.

Currently the Penguins are in the Stanley Cup. They are playing the Detroit Redwings and are losing the series 2 to 1. WE ARE PLAYING THEM TONIGHT AND ARE LOSING 2 TO 1. I will inform you more in my next blog.

Today I went to the Pittsburgh zoo! I went at around 10. It was great. Since I am doing a report on polar bears, I got to interview the main polar bear zoo keeper, Mark McDonough. I also got to take some photos of the polar bears! I saw a lot of animals!

Today I had a day off! I started the day off by going to panera and getting a cinnamon roll. After that I spent the rest of the day working in my yard.

Right now, as I type, the PITTSBURGH PENGUINS are having a very important game with the “Philadelphia Flyers”. It is a great game so far. We are in the third quarter with with thirteen minutes and forty-one seconds left. The PENGUINS are winning 6 to 0! When (I mean “If”) the PENGUINS win, we will go to the Stanley Cup !

Yesterday, I had a soccer game. It was a lot of fun! I almost scored, but I didn’t. We ( my team and I ) lost 3 to 1. The PITTSBURGH PENGUINS also had a game. They lost it 4 to 2, though.
