Well I didn't like how the other font looked so I'm going back to the old one. Anyway this blog will be a puzzle so I will type some sentences and you can see if you can find out what is wrong with them, or I will do a pattern with how I am typing it.
This one will be quite easy for you to figure out, and I really mean it too. Hopefully you notice something is wrong.
Thiis oone wiill bee eaasy tooo.
P.S. you might want to type your answerz in the comment boks.
insIde a houSe thErE was a Yucky Octagon with a pUppy. P.S. There's more than one sentence there!
P.S. The P.S. right before this one (and this one) are not puzzles.
Well, I hope you figured all that out. Now for a riddle that I won't let you cheat on by watching The Hobbit. Remember when I mentioned Bilbo Baggins? He spoke a wonderful riddle that is so hard to answer correctly even my dad won't remember it! (Or will he?)
Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.
What's the answer? Here's a hint: It is not outside, and just imagine it happening. It's also not inside.

You Got Courage?
"I feel stretched, Gandalf, like butter over too much bread." -Bilbo Baggins, first hobbit to possess the One Ring
"Remember to give glory to the One who authored nature." -Robert Boyle, founder of modern chemistry
"...one is completely stunned by the resourcefulness of the creator." -Carolus Linnaeus, the man who tried to classify all living things
Which character didn't have a brain? The scarecrow. Which character didn't have a heart? The tin man.
Which character didn't have Courage?
Not only does the answer of that question apply to a lion with an extremely human face, it can mean everyone. Most people these days don't have a lot of courage. They like it when other people take the lead. When other people are brave enough to sacrifice things, or even themselves so other people can be safe or happy. The sayings above made by those people (though one never really existed physically) are totally, well, not courageous. But it doesn't matter what they said that made them courageous, but who they were and what they did. All three of those people needed a lot of courage to do what they did. Would you be willing to play a game with an insane creature in the dark that gives you a 50/50 chance of life or death? So you could be able to help other people be happy? Would you be willing to spend most of your life experimenting with chemistry to help the world advance after you died? Or write many books just classifying things that live for a very long time? Just some things to think about.

Summer Recap Part 2
After Boys Camp, we went home for two weeks before Family Camp. One weekend we went up to Livonia to pick up Daisy (she had been staying with Grammy and Papa Don while we were at camp). We played lots of card games there and visited Greenfield Village for the last time of the summer. When we went home, it was nice to be back for a while. We relaxed that week before heading right back up to UPBC. We saw lots of friends there, went to nice scenic places and I even participated in the talent show for the first time to do magic tricks. There were campfires every night and I ate lots of ice cream.
After Family Camp, we went home for the remaining weeks until school started. This would be Ryan's freshman year in high school, my 7th grade year and Megan's 5th grade year. Summer was fun and we made many memories.

Summer Recap Part 1
Well, last time I posted was at the beginning of summer. Now it is over. The last blog said we put in the boat lifts at Fish Lake. This blog says we took them out yesterday. This blog also states that there will be two parts to my summer recap, and this is part 1.
After the last blog post, it was about a month of summer vacation at home. Then I went to UPBC for Adventure 13, and at the same time Mom and Megan went up with a few friends for Girls Camp. Adventure 13 was very fun and tiring and included hiking, mountain biking, and seeing sights that were very cool. I lost my retainer that Wednesday and still am waiting for a new one. One or two kids went to the hospital for injuries that included a badly sprained ankle and a nearly dislocated knee. After Adventure 13 I went straight into my last week of going to Boys Camp. I decided to do riflery and challenge course activities. We did CTF almost every day and on Wednesday we prepared for the day away. Most of the cabins went on the hiking trip (A.K.A the trip that is barely a mile of hiking) but my cabin canoed against the waves across Lake Au Train and then spent another four hours canoeing down Au Train river. Along the way a friend of mine stole my giant cookie i was slowly eating as my only food until 8:00 PM. Dinner was okay, but I cracked a frozen hot dog before I could cook it. The message from our speaker every day was very good, and it kept me awake during chapel.
