We Found a Dog!
by Mikayla Meyer

To my cousin who encouraged me to help the dog find its owner.

It was a bursting hot day. My family was celebrating my twin cousins’ birthday when… we found a dog, and it wasn’t our dog. The dog had a collar on, but it didn’t have an address. So, me, Sierra, Lauren and Whit went around the neighborhood and looked for its owner because Spencer is allergic to dogs and my cousins already have a dog. Some houses gave us an idea of whose dog it was, but none of them worked. And, one even told us to call the vet, and it still didn’t work. After awhile I said, “I’m too tired to go any further!” So, Whit said, “You can go home if you want?” But, I didn’t! We looked and looked until Conner came and told us it was time for us to open presents. So, we finished our last house. We couldn’t find the owner. So, we left the dog in our backyard to see if she would find her owner. (So she did.) But, it took a long time for her to leave. But, we still had an upside down smile on our face.

About the Author

Hi! My name is Mikayla Meyer. I live in Hudsonville. I have 2 brothers and 1 sister and my mom and dad. I love to play with my brother, Spencer. This story is about finding a dog owner. I have also written: When Spender Gets Mad and The Special Football Game.

Car Wash
by: Sarah Spears

One steaming hot, hot, hot sunny Sunday afternoon when I thought I was going to fry up, I thought of a brillant idea.

“Hey Aaron, do you want to give the car a wash?”, I asked.
“Sure just let me get my swim suit on”, he replied.
“Ok”, I answered. “I’ll be waiting outside.”

Well it only took a few seconds to get the car wet and start scrubbing when another idea came to my head. That’s when a car with a window drove right past our house and I yelled……..

“FREE CAR WASH!!!!!”

The lady in the car looked at me like I was CRAZY!

“Oh brother!!!!”, I thought. “She probably thinks I am crazy!”

Well, more and more cars past and Aaron and I kept yelling…..

“FREE CAR WASH, FREE CAR WASH!!!!”

But still everyone thought we were crazy! After a few minutes a motorcycle rode by and Aaron yelled, “FREE MOTOR WASH!!”

I wish people would have come, but oh well it was still fun.

Paintball at Spring Hill Camp

by Spencer Alexander

“Hurry get on the train Spencer it’s about to leave!” Tom screamed.

It was around nine o’clock in the morning at Spring Hill Camp, the best summer camp ever. The sun was shining through the trees and there was a slight breeze. At that moment I said to my self, “It’s a perfect day for paintball.”

At around nine fifteen my team and I were at the front of the paintball field. The first thing I noticed was a giant net, but I looked closer and there it was, the paintball field. There were also bunkers, pillboxes, and fox holes.

Next, I ran to the new paintball shack and reserved all of my supplies, which consists of a paintball gun, mask, Co2, and ammunition. After that my team and I hit the field. We took the far side of the field, and the other team took the other side. At last, everyone was waiting for the whistle to blow.

“Go, go, go!” one of the older kids yelled at me, “Spencer get in that bunker, and make sure the other team doesn’t take it!”

So I did, but I should not have listened to that older kid because now I was down on my back and couldn’t move or I would get shot.

Finally, about five minutes into the game one of our bunker busters shot their machine gunner. So when I had the chance, I jumped up out of the hole and sprinted around to find a sniping spot. I settled around a big fat thick soggy smelly log.

After finding a spot, I immediately started to fire my gun. I actually hit about three guys, even though that does not seem like a lot. There was a total of fifteen team members on their team. But when I ducked down to reload my gun I heard, “Surround him.” I looked up and found four people where looking me straight into my eyes. I realized at about that time that I was ambushed.

But within seconds, four paintballs were about to hit me! It felt like one hundred hornets had stung me in my chest. When I started to crawl out of the field I realized it does not matter, I got out because I had a whole week left at summer camp!

Wow, that week must have gone by quickly because before I new it, my week at camp was over. I will always remember the time I had at Spring Hill summer camp, forever. I have already reserved my spot for next summer, and I will be bringing a few friends with me. I cannot wait!

Wake Up
By Hannah Eggers

It was 7:00 am in the house. I went out of my door. I was going to play a trick on my brother. I was going to wake Caleb up.
“Was that a good plan or was it like the time I threw eggs on the walls?” I thought to myself.
“Oh, well, I’ll just do the trick. I said in my head.
I went quick and quietly to his room. I opened his door and tip-toed to his bed. I slowly bent down and screamed as loud as I could into his ear. I tried to escape quickly but he saw me and yelled, “ I WILL GET YOU!”
He needs a conscience or needs to do yoga or eat a spicy Italian sandwich from Subway. I’ll use my noise maker when I scare Caleb again.
