Robinhood

Robinhood was a man who was outlawed in the Middle Ages for shooting one of the King's deer. He then robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. Prince John had many taxes on the people and this made them poor. He lived in Sherwood Forest with his band of Merry Men who dressed in Lincoln Green. Some of his men were: Little John, Will Stutely, Allen A-Dale and Friar Tuck. His enemy was the Sheriff of Nottingham who collected the taxes for Prince John. King Richard, who was the real king, was away on the crusades. Everyone was waiting for him to come back and get rid of Prince John.

Today me and my brothers took some pictures of a Lego Robin hood battle. Here they are.


Here is a picture of their fort in Sherwood Forest.

The Neil Armstrong Museum

Last week we went to the Neil Armstrong museum with some of our friends. Here are some of the pictures.

This is the museum. The big dome at the top is a theater where they show the stars.
This is what they wear on the moon. On Earth it weighs 190 pounds but on the moon it only weighs 32 pounds.
This is a rocket at the museum.
This is kind of like a air hockey table because it blows air out of tiny holes in the table. first you push a tiny puck around the table. As it slow down it moves closer to Earth.
This is a command center in the museum where you can pretend to fly the rocket.
This is my sister Abagail.
this is me Caleb.
This is my brother Adam.
We had lots of fun there!

Our trip to Cincinnati

A couple days ago we went to Cincinnati to see my dad when he came back from his trip. We got to stay in a hotel that had a pool! Here are some of the pictures of our trip.

This is what our pool looked like(at the bottom there is a hot tub).
These are my two brothers.
And this is my sister Abigail.
We had a fun time!
