My Monday

One morning on Memorial Day at 5:16am dad woke us up! We were going to help dad move his office. So we got dressed, brushed our teeth and brushed our hair. Emily and me got in the car and drove off. When we got to Dad's new office, we just took a look and Dad showed us around. His new office was upstairs and there was an office downstairs, too. It didn't have many colors and Dad's new office is really small. Then we went to Dad's old office, which wasn't that far away. Emily and I had to bring books up and down the stairs. Dad told us what to do. We had to go outside to put the books in the car. It took 2 hours...or 3! It was hard work. Dad pulled the middle seat down so we could put the books there. It looked really cool! Emily and I kept going up the stairs and down the stairs and I held the door for Emily. It was kind of fun, too. After all the books we took down, and Dad helped, we went back to Dad's old office. Then we had to carry the books up the stairs and down the stairs to bring the books into Dad's new office. That was a lot of work, too! And we had to get stuff out of the trunk. It took lots of work to do that work, too. Then we went back home. We saw Mom, Eleanor, Zach, and Kate. Eleanor, Emily, Dad, and I were going to go canoeing. It wasn't that long. When we got there, we got our life jackets on. I had to borrow Dad's life jacket and it was too big! I wish Mom and Kate could come along. We saw two red-winged blackbirds and there were three more boats-two canoes and one big boat. We went to see the waterfall. There was a big tree in the way that had fallen from the big storm. Dad showed us where it was from and how it floated down the river. When we got past the tree, Dad and me taught Emily how to paddle, so Emily sat in front where I was. Emily paddled most of the rest of the way. Then when we got back to the truck, we all put the stuff back that we took on the canoe trip. Then we went to Grammie's house. Mom, Kate, and Zach were already there. We watched "Go Diego Go" and had some doughnuts. Then Grampie and I ate watermelon together outside. We went inside for dinner. And then went back home and had Family Home Evening. Then we got ready for bed and went to bed.
The End.
