Family Reunion

I'm going to a family reunion this weekend. How fun. I'll get to see all of my dads side of my family. I hope there's good food. We will be playing games and having fun. The family reunion is in Ohio at my grandparents house every year.

Wipeout!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever watched the new show Wipeout on ABC? Well I just watched the show the other night and I laughed my head off. It was like one of those old Japenese game shows. It was hilarious. I suggest yuo watch it at least once. There are many different painful things the contestants go thru to get to the finals. In the finals they go thru a long obstacle course which they can be knocked off of a spinning wheel or go sledding on an air mattress.

Our Racoon

About a three months ago a racoon moved into a little patch of trees and shrubery behind our house. It lived happily eating out of our garbage cans and pooping on our roof. After about a month I finally saw it it was eating bread on our window cill. I looked at it and it looked at me then it ran off. A couple days later I saw it fishing for food out of our garbage can. Seeing that I went outside and threw a bucket at it..... but I missed. The racoon ran off as fast as it could. My dad had seen it on our roof many times so he ended up borrowing a pellet gun from his friend at work. My dad ended up hiting him twice, once in the eye, once in the arm. In June my sister took some garbage out ot the garbage cans and as she opened the lid she saw three little racoon faces. My dad and I arrived home and we were told the story so we called over our next door neighbors, the Schippers. Mr. Schippers offered to take the garbage can with the racoons in it far away from our house at least nine miles. My dad took a stick and my friend Austin took a hockey stick. We got to a closed bridge so we decided to let them out at that spot. We opened the lid and tilted over garbage can and one of the racoons jumped out and went off running, the next one took a little time but he jumped out and ran off. The last racoon wouldnt come out so we shook the can and the last guy held on to the lip of the garbage can for dear life until my dad took his walking stick and slapshoted him right into a road closed sign. He was in shock but after a minute or two he scurried off dazed and confused. The mommy racoon still lives in our backyard and continues to eat out of our garbage cans!
