Summer Overview - by Kurt Schnaubelt

I am finally done with North Barrington Elementary School. Over the summer I have had two baseball teams. My travel team was very good, it was called the Mustangs, we had all the best players that were in the house league. My other team, the Pirates, were undefeated until the playoffs, we took 3rd out of 9. I went to a church camp in Wisconsin without Bruno because he was in a baseball tournament with his Power Pipe team. It would have been better if he was there but anyway everything was fun. And I really liked my counselors Bret and Trevor because they are unique. I had also gone on vacation to Grand Haven in Michigan it was fun, but not one of the better times to remember because I had missed out on stuff. But I would’ve loved it if mom let me stay home and play in my baseball tournaments. Bruno has been gone a lot this summer. But when he is back we have a lot of fun. For flag football I am on the Miami Dolphins, I don't know many people on my team I wish they lt you send buddy requests. My coach wants us to practice the fundamentals and basics.

I went to downtown Chicago and I gave lunches to the homeless, it made me feel really good. I gave out 5 lunches. At camp I had been this kid’s friend for the week, no one liked him, because he didn’t like to share. Also gave Klaus a birthday present even though I didn’t have to. They got him a gift card for his X-Box One, he hasn’t done anything with it yet. I wasn't annoying to Ingrid when she took $5 from me. This is what happened: Ingrid, Bruno, Payton and I went to dairy queen. I had $10 and I bought something that was $5, she put the change in her pocket, and I didn’t say anything to her.

I am not excited or nervous about middle school. It is just a new place, and more people, it's not that big of a deal. It’s just a little different, because I have a different teacher every period. Also there is more kids.

Peter at LGYC

Peter was with the high school crowd at Lake Geneva Youth Camp this year. Here he is with his counselors Kurt and Roscoe.

Biltmore Caddies

Erik & Steven got there first real job this summer. Some good money, but they have to get up early and it's hard work. Very proud of them!

Chickens, again!

We are giving the chickens a go again with a new and improved coop/cage. So far it has proved to be raccoon proof.
