Keaton and his "Robot Fighter"

Jordan and a really cool car...that he rebuilt twice before the picture could be taken!

Sawyer and a...uh...really cool contraption!

Tate and his "mu-ching" -- he said it didn't work if you connected the four peices together, so he left them separate.

Animal Saver

Once there was a man who cared about animals. He had some animal friends. There was a big dog named Henry, a hare named Rocky, a squirrel named Elmer, a meerkat named Dylan, a rat named Rasie Ruth, a monkey named John Swingtest, a giraffe named Longneck, a rhino named ThreeHorns, and a pelican named Nick.

There were three kids that were their friends named Luke, Zack, and Tom. They always hung out with the animals. They always played sports, exercised, and played lots of games.

One day a guy came and robbed Henry, ThreeHorns, and Nick. And then at the place where he took them he put these hats on them. And then all three of them turned kind of evil and went to destroy the others.

First, ThreeHorns tried to destroy them. But, when he got over there, Luke jumped up and scooped the hat off. ThreeHorns stopped and he turned back good. Then, Nick tried to destroy them next. But right when he was about to scoop Zack up, Zack jumped in his mouth and then jumped on his head, got the hat and Nick turned back good. So, they flew back safely. Then Henry tried to destroy Tom. But Tom ducked down and tripped him. Whenever he fell, he caught him and the hat rolled off.

They knew that that guy was evil. The guy came back and stole Rasie Ruth. So they ran after him. Tom jumped on John Swingtest while he was swinging on the vines. Luke hopped on ThreeHorns and Zack jumped on Nick. They all went after them. But right when they got there the bad guy turned on his shield. They all bumped into it. Tom fell off John Swingtest, Zack fell off Nick and fell onto ThreeHorns with Luke. Then they both landed on Longneck and slid down his neck safely. They were all okay.

The next night they all got an idea. They all thought that Dylan could dig a hole under the shield. So, it worked. They were inside the shield. They dodged inside. And then all the animals got stuck in traps. ThreeHorns got his nose stuck in an electric fence. Nick got bonked on the head with a coconut. Henry got his tail stuck in a string. Elmer got trapped in a cage because he saw a nut in there. Dylan got trapped in a hole of dirt. The walls and ground were armor, so he couldn't dig out. John Swingtest got tangled in vines. Longneck got his neck stuck in the vines, too. Rocky saw a carrot inside a cage, so he got trapped just like Elmer.

Then Luke, Tom, and Zack all saw Rasie Ruth with a hat on. So, they knocked it off. And then, Luke got Dylan out of the hole. Tom unhooked ThreeHorns. Zack swung on vines and got John Swingtest and Longneck untangled. Luke and Tom just got Elmer and Rocky out of the cages. Zack cut the rope that Henry had got stuck in. And all of them got some water and poured it on Nick so he would come awake.

So then they all went, tied up the bad guy with the vines, and left and had a party.

The End.

Baseball Is Life

Once there was a baseball team called the Yankees. Everyone on the team was:

Keaton -- pitcher

Sawyer -- batter

Tate -- 2nd batter

Tanner -- 1st base

Elijah -- 2nd base

John Michael -- outfield

Zachary -- shortstop

Will -- catcher

Zach -- outfield

Jordan -- outfield

Kayla -- outfield

Dawson -- outfield

Camille -- outfield

Moriah -- outfield

Walt -- outfield

Gavin -- 3rd base

Once they played a game against the Cardinals. And whenever it was their turn to hit, Tate and Sawyer bounced right in. And then they each hit a ball. They both went over the fence. They were winning!! They were such awesome hitters. Whenever it was the Cardinals' turn to bat, they also hit it over the fence. Then after that, the pitcher and the others got three outs. And then when it was the Yankees turn to bat, Sawyer and Tate stepped right back in.

Sawyer got up to the plate. He whacked that ball! Then Tate whacked it too. When they both went over the fence, the Cardinals' ball that had gone over the fence before, bounced back in!

The Yankee's won the game! After that, they won 50 games. And then it was their game before their last one. They played the Travelers.

The Travelers were up to bat first and they hit it three times. The bases were loaded. But the Yankees did not give up. Keaton pitched the ball. After he pitched it, the batter hit it, but John Michael caught it in the outfield. And then, he got the runner out. He threw it to 2nd and got that runner out. Then Elijah threw it to home and got that runner out.

Then the Yankees were up to bat. Sawyer hit the ball. He hit it out over the fence. He made a home run!! But, something stopped him. One of the outfielders jumped over the fence, picked up the ball, and threw it to the outfielders. Then the outfielder threw it to 2nd, but Sawyer was already running home. 2nd threw it home, but Sawyer did not give up. Sawyer ran and when he got to the plate, the catcher was in front of it. Sawyer ran to the side a little and swung on the catcher's arm and up on the catcher's head and jumped onto home plate! He was safe!!

Then Tate was up to bat. He did the exact same thing!!

The game was over. The Yankees had won the game!! Then finally it was their last game against the hardest team -- the Pirates! So whenever they began the Pirates were up to bat first. The batter hit it almost over the fence. But whenever it got right to the fence, all the Yankees' outfielders came together and stacked up as a ladder and the person on the top caught the ball. And then Keaton figured out this was a hard team to beat. So, he had the ball, he was going to throw it, but instead of really throwing the ball, he faked the pitch. The Pirates' batter batted and took off running and made it almost to 3rd, but the pitcher still had the ball. So, he threw it to 3rd. That was an out! The Pirate was confused.

Then the pitcher faked again to the 3rd batter on the Pirates. And then whenever he faked the pitch, the batter thought he hit the ball, so he took off to 1st. Then 2nd. The pitcher rolled it backwards behind him to Elijah. He got out by tagging the runner.

So it was finally the Yankees' turn. Tate came up to bat. He hit it, then the outfielder jumped for the ball, but whenever it got in his glove, it rolled out and landed over the fence. That was a home run ball! Then Sawyer was up to bat. He hit it so hard on the ground that it made everyone on the field's feet on fire! And then it went through the hole in the fence.

They won the game! And they won a trophy.

The End.

The Golfer

Once at a golf course there was a teenage boy playing golf. Hole 1, 2, and 3 he made hole in ones. He even made hole in ones on 4, 5, 6, and 7. You know what? He made 50 hole in ones over and over. When he was grown up to a grown-up, he became a golf pro.

Once he battled someone over fifty holes. And won a trophy. He became so good that he became so rich. So he bought his own golf course and played on it all the time.

Then, at this golf course, one time, he missed a hole in one fifty times. So he had to battle again on fifty holes. But that time he lost. It was terrible! And then somehow at night the moon shined on his face and then somehow he came back to the famous hitter. So, he hit fifty holes over and over again.

And then, he went to the man in charge of the golf course. And he said, "I'm ready for a big challenge." Then the best hitter ever came out to challenge him. His name was Ratchet! On the first hole, Ratchet accidentally hit the ball so hard that it went past the hole and went into the lake. And the golfing guy made a hole in one! He kept on making holes in one until it was the very last one. Then Ratchet came out. He hit it so hard that it went around the earth and made a hole in one. But, the famous golf pro, he came out and he did not give up. He hit the ball. It made a hole in one! And bounced out Ratchet's ball.

And the famous hitter became the PRO! And Ratchet was back down as normal.
