Kid's Camp

Today I did some construction and my job was to put cement into small buckets.  I got very dirty.  I also have been participating as a leader of kid's camp.   Some of the activities that we do in kid's camp are football american, Wiffle ball, karate, and photography.  A cool thing we do in photography is we get to mess around with the pictures we take in the citadel.   I am starting to get over my jet lag.  -Nolan

My Day at the Piatza

I have had a fun time in Romania. I have met all of my friends (Gabriel and Sebastian, Bianca, Lian and Andre, Dorin).   So I was in photography class with my friends and my camera died after about 15 pictures.  I was at the piatza (public market). Me and Joe walked up to a man that was selling berries and he motioned for me to give him the batteries from the camera. My camera would not close because my batteries were dead.   So I gave him the batteries and he took them and smashed them on the table and put big dents in them.  So we put them back in the camera and it gave me three seconds to close my camera.  - Liam

Romania

Today we got of the train in the middle of a cornfield when we were supposed to be in Donish. luckely I packed two flashlights so everybody started walking toward Donish. After 2 km we saw a hourse pulled wagon. We got in and took a ride to about half a mile from Donish then Dorthy, Ralu, and Maurice pull up as soon as we get out. So we got back safley.          -Nolan

Going Back

I am excited about going to Romania tomorrow and that I will have a good time there and that I will get lots of good pictures.  and you can pray that I won't get seriously injured.  it is going to be fun going back to Romania for my 3rd time and I still can't believe that it is my parents 7th time going.  I don't know what else to write now so that is all for now.- Liam Hopkins

In the Winter...

We went to the park and we saw Christmas lights. There was a BIG tree. And we saw other trees with other lights.
This is one of the trees at the park with lights. And we went under the tree, it was cool. There was lots of lights surrounding us.
We made the gingerbread houses. And me and Liam did a good job. Then, we put them by the window. Then they were finished.
The End.

The latest in Romania

I am having fun in Romania. We got tents on our bed. When we went to Hungary for days we stayed at a hotel and then we went home and it was a long trip home. My favorite part of the hotel was eating and walking around. The End.
-Nolan
I have a new tent from mommy. I have a new fort. I have a new motorcyle and Nolan has a new, new motorcycle. I have binoculars. Before we went to that hotel (in Hungary), we went to the first hotel two weeks. My favorite part of the hotel was going on the elevator and giving water to people and hiding under the stairs. I have a pretend cell phone and Nolan has a pretend cell phone and it has a picture phone on the back of it.

Halloween Fun

Snow

Hi to Maddie. Thanks Aunt Phyllis for my racecar and suckers. And for my red sauce. I had fun in the snow. It snowed on Sunday and today. I love the snow. It's melting a little. There's only a little bit of snow, a lot of dry spots.

Zoo

This past weekend we went to the Zoo in Targu Mures with daddy and mommy. The tigers were huge. The bull was huge. We saw a Jaguar, tigers, Lynx, black panther, and other big cats. My favorite part was the brown bears. Here are some pictures. Nolan

Just for you Brandon

My cousin Brandon told me not to dye my hair like "Shocker"- the crazy hair guy. Looks cool doesn't it.- Liam

Swords

We have swords. We sharpen our swords with our rocks. Tomorrow we are going to play fotbal. -Nolan

Double Truck Day

Today is double truck day at school. My teacher showed me a picture of a double truck (double- decker bus). My boo-boos are going away. I still have one on my hand. It bleeds every time I fall down. Nolan and I have a new car (Ramone and Snot Rod). That's all of it. Liam

Bugs and Stuff by Liam

I love Maddy (she is my cousin). I would like Brandon to come to mine house (he is my cousin too). I want him to see my fort. We got stuff to play with. I am looking at my monster truck magazine. There is a funny hair guy- all that blue hair- he drives Shocker. Scarlet Bandit is also in my book. Yesterday I went to the bakery with Melanie. We went in a motor cycle store, we saw a green motorcycle. We are watching Croc Hunter right now. We have fun at school. There are like 8 kids in my class. They speak Romanian. I only speak a little Romanian. I found a new jet plane at school to play with. We saw kid playing fotbal (soccer) in the street on the way home from school. We found a shortcut on the way home from school. We saw scary tree with lots of red bugs that look like silly ladybugs. Today I am going to have some Melanie time. Right now she's not doin it. That's all- Liam

Walking home from school

We walked home from school yesterday. It was rainy. We took a break half way home. I save part of my lunch as a snack when I walk home. See my cool boots.

Pastries and Tracks

I found 2 tracks today. I ate a pastry today and it was good. I like Romania because there are pastries here and in America there are no pastry shops and there is only donuts in America. The chocolate covered croissants with chocolate in the middle of it is my favorite- just the top is my favorite.- Nolan
