Driving the 4-wheeler

Five days ago, my family went on a four-wheeler ride down the Denali Highway.  We have a new four-wheeler. It is a Yamaha Grizzly 660, and I drive it with Mom or Samantha.  I am getting better at driving it.  The first couple times I drove it 2-4 mph and was scared of doing power slides.  Now I go 8-10 mph in the driveway and have actually done power slides myself.  On the road or trail I drive about 15-18 mph and love it.  I am also learning to keep the correct distance so I don't run into Dad's four wheeler, and to look both ways when crossing streets.   Mom and Dad are both proud of how I'm improving.

LEGO Ships

A couple of days ago, I built my first ever LEGO ships. First, I made an American ship, which I named Armed-to-the-Gunnels. Then I made a French ship that doesn't have a name. It was smaller than Armed-to-the-Gunnels. Then I made a British ship of the line. It's big and has two sails. I like all of the ships because they look real and they have good guns.
