Smile Poetry

     Mice are as calm,
     and shy as a,
     Diminuative kitten,
     that is sleeping.

Caleb Bio Poem

Hyper
A tree climber
Loquacious
Wants to have his brothers and sisters back with him
Seeks to have fun
Looks forward to being a missionary pilot in Africa
Desires a sniper pellet gun,
Fears of America falling apart
Likes climbing every kind of tree and exploring places he hasn't been to
Believes in God
Loves 'ghetti and trys to eat as much as his older brothers
Plans to go to Africa to live.
His final destination is Heaven.

On the river at Kafubu Lodge

This is me driving a hydro bike in the river.  There were four of them.  And we were going to a branch that strechted across the river to jump off it.

Painting at a house for some orphan boys

     During Christmas break Josh knew a man who worked with orphans and was building something like a dorme and it needed to be painted.  So on the 5th day we ( who were Danielle, Josh, Kelcie, [ Chelsey was one of the girls that Danielle invited to come to DRC ] Ben, Desi, Lyle, Tim, and I ) went out there to paint ( there were really bad roads ).  When we got there we went over to the house and Josh talked to the Congolise, while he was talking to them Ben threw a rock over to a hill an then we had a contest to see who could throw the farthest.  When Josh was done talking we went inside and we all took a sanding paper and started to sand.  I did the bottom and then after that I went outside because it was to loud.  When they were done sandpapering they wondered where I was.  So I came and climbed to the top of the ladder and waited there.  Then Kelcie ( one of the girls that Danielle invited to come out ) asked me to sing for them, and I started Jingle Bells but then they all started to sing to so having me sing was kindof a fail, then Ben asked me if I wanted to paint and so I did the top.

Seven Poetry

There were seven siblings,
Playing soccer in a yard,
The oldest slipped but scored,
Even though she did not rap it hard,
Danielle rolled around laughing,
Because Ben let the oldest score,
Desi let the ball fling,
Lyle almost blundered but kicked it to Tim,
Tim did a summersalt and thumped it with his heel,
Caleb flipped, collided then scored,
So it was a huge deal.

"Trip To Moba"

"The Flight"

     DAY 1

     When we got to the end of the airstrip we quickly turned around and zoomed off, When we just got into the air just at the end of the airstrip Timothy spotted the van driving away.  The trees looked like brocoli and also pretty yummy.  The water was streaking across the windows.  We were at the beginning of a big lake and there was this streak of land that looked like the Boston Neck.  In the middle of the lake on the left side was a mission station with a grass airport.  A little up from the mission was a pretty big river that flowed out of the lake, the lake ended pretty soon after that.

"Getting Welcomed"

     Ounce we got there, there was a huge crowd surrounding the plane.  The UN were just there and had just taken off, and so they dropped some UN soldiers off at Moba.  Then a choir began singing and they were very good.  Daniel ( one of the guys we brought ) was talking to some other guys and when they were done talking we got into the car ( which was 4-wheel-drive ) and started going slowly down to the church.  All that time  about a thousand people were dancing all around us.  They took us to a church and made all the congolise sit down while they prayed they were speaking in Swahili so I didn't know what they were saying, after that went to lunch whith this huge guy whose shirt is probaly going to rip soon:(  We had rice, salt fish, potato chips, and some other stuff.

"At the Beach"

DAY 2

     On the second day we went to the beach on Lake Tanganika and stayed there all day.  At first me and Tim tryed to build a sand castle but the sand was to thin and it was soon made to rubble.  So after that I went over to this broken ship and then came back, and on the way back I think I bumped into a stump that used to hold a walkway about 50 feet I think out into the water so then I told Tim and we started trying to find the hichest one to jump off.  After that it started raining so we came inside a little hut because the rain was a lot colder than the water.  We had a delicious lunch of four fish that were cut in half and some stuff in it, plus manoise, some hot stuff, onions, some pop, and french fries.  After that Papa wanted to walk farther up so we went up, to where the waves were higher there, and the sand was stronger so we built a castle there, that stood for a long time.  And then we started to ride in the waves.  The waves there were a lot stronger and higher so it was funner than down by the restaraunt, Papa told us not to swim in the water because he didn't know if there were crocodiles there.  But it was hard not to so we started swimming in it.

Smart Timothy

Descriptive writing

11/22/10

     Timothy has dark blue eyes and blonde hair that shines when the sun hits it.  My brother wears a cotton t-shirt, long shorts, and boxers that keep him cool.  Climbing the mango trees makes him a pretty strong boy.  Tim stands 5 feet and 5 inches which is tall for his age.  The tween is twelve and has long brown eyelashes.  He has no freckles or dimples like me.  My obedient brother has a very motivated brain when he does school.  He doesn't easily get distracted bye me and bends down his head while he writes.  How perfect to have a brother like Tim.
