Summer!

This summer I went to a workcamp in Jackson Mississippi. Its called Catholic Heart Work Camp. When you there you break up into groups and go to different work sites. My group went to an older ladies home, it was really run down. We painted the whole outside of her house and did some wood work on her car port. I also went on a family trip to Block Island, Rhode Island! We go every summer with my dads whole side of the family. We rent a huge house with like nine rooms! While were there we go to the beach, go horse back riding, and just hang out with family that we dont usually get to see.
My aunts house is in galviston on Tiki Island! Her house is right on the water so we spend most of are time swimming. She has two jetskis wich I can now drive because I got my boating license and the end of last summer! I brought friends up this summer and we stayed there for a weekend. We almost all have are license so we can all take out the jetskis! Earlier in the summer i had summer swim team. I swim for the Westover Wild Orcas! Most of my friends swim on that team of another team in the area so we have alot of fun! Other than that I just hung out with friends for the rest of the summer!
