Archery

"Thwack" The arrow hit the target.  The person in front of me was on his last arrow.  We were on the archery course at camp Michindoh.  It was cold out and we were wearing jackets.  "Thwack" The arrow missed.  "Get your arrows!" the instructor shouted.  They got their arrows and put them in the rack.  I stepped up to the stand and grabbed the bow and 1 arrow.  "You may knock your arrows" the instructor said.  We placed the arrows on the string right below the bead..  "Fire when ready."  I aimed for the center of the target.  "Thwack"  My arrow missed.  We knocked our next arrows.  We pulled back our bow strings and looked down the body of the arrow to align it with the target.  "Thwack"  My arrow hit the blue ring.  The blue is the ring outside the red which is right outside the bulls-eye.  We knocked our last arrows.  I looked down the shaft of the arrow until I found the very center of the target.  I pulled back as far as I could and released the string.  "Smack"  I hit the red ring.  "So close." I said to myself.  We walked out onto the archery course and pulled our arrows out of the target.  We walked back with the arrows held behind our backs so we wouldn't get hurt if we fell.  We put the arrows in the rack right next to the bow.  I stepped to the back of the line to wait for my next turn.

How to make message boxes with vbs.

If you want a popup box to come up when someone clicks on it then you can do this.  To make a message box you must do the msgbox command.  This is the syntax.

If you want it to never go away you could do it like this.
Do
msgbox("Hi")
Loop
You can also do more than one box.

Interactive Javascript

This will not work on the windows 8 internet.

Did you see the pop up that asked you what your name was and said hi name.  Today I will teach you how to make it.  It is just some beginner JavaScript with the prompt command and the alert command.  You will want to do this with HTML unless you are using a JavaScript compiler.  For HTML  type
<script>
var myName = prompt("Hi what is your name?")
alert("Hi " + name)
</script>
For just JavaScript take out the <script> and </script> .   If you want to do this on your blog go to the HTML tab on the create a new post and type in what is above.  Make sure you types in a space in the underlined section right here.
alert("Hi_" + name)

Pickles Attack

BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!  It was my alarm.  I turned it off and sat up.  My cat Pickles was sitting on the floor next to my dresser.  I climbed out of bed.  It was cold without my warm blankets and cover me.  I sat down and put on my close.  I was just finishing putting on my sock when my mom came up the stairs and stuck her head through the railing.  "Coming?" she asked.  "Yup." I replied.  Suddenly Pickles jumped up and charged at my mom and jammed her head through the railing.  My mom jumped back and almost fell down the stairs.  I started laughing like crazy.  "Bad Pickles!" my mom scolded.  She went down stairs and I brought down my things for breakfast.

Pool Party

Aidan, Kyle, Me and our families were all at the Homestead.  We had all just arrived and were swimming in the pool.  We suggested a game that I could climb halfway up the water slide and everyone  else would go down and try to knock me off.  I climbed up until I reached half way.  "Ready!" I shouted to them.  Nothing happened.  Then my brother comes rocketing down the slide so fast he is a blur.  I jump up from my crouching position until I am just above is head.  He goes right under me and I prepare for the next person.  Then Aidan comes down the slide.  I expected him to come fast like my brother but he is going slower.  I jump but I jump to soon just like the batters that bat to soon in baseball when the pitcher throws them a changeup.  When I land Aidan grabs my legs and tries to pull me down with him.  I hang onto the tube on the side that squirts out the water and try to kick him off me.  I yank my legs up to my chest really hard and he releases me.  Before I am even back in my crouching position Kyle comes shooting down the slide.  He surprises me and I fall back a few feet until I grab the sides.  I am now past the end of the tube to the water makes the sides slippery to hold onto.  He grabs my foot just as I jump for the tube.  My fingers close around it as he pulls at my leg.  I slip down to the very edge of the tube until James comes down.  I already have Kyle on me so when James comes down I totally get knocked off.  We all fall into the water and are laughing.  "Let's do it again," I say "any volunteers?"

Sand Dunes (continued)

Swoosh.  I felt the air flying against my face as I ran through the dune grass.  I was running for a place that had high dune grass so I could lie down and hide.  My brother and I were running from our friend Quinlin.  We reached the the high grass and lay down.  I peaked my head above the grass and he saw us.  We leaped up and raced up to the top of the dunes.  On the top we raced down the other side.  The sharp dune grass was poking our feet and it hurt.  Quinlin reached the top just as we rounded the corner of the dune.  We were now racing along side the dunes running for the path to get out.  We reached the path and raced out.  We were now on the edge of a large bowl of sand.  On the other side of the bowl there was a path to get out.  We jumped of the ledge and raced to the other side of the bowl.  Outside there was a big hill and then there was water.  We raced down the hill and splashed through the water.  The water was up to our waist in some places and at our ankles in others.  We reached the other side and headed for the dune paths behind the waterfall.  We climbed the steep path to get to the hiding place.  We jumped down the steep hill and were right next to the river.  Then we crossed the river.  It was colder that the outlet because the water was coming from bass lake.  On the other side we climbed up the steep dune.  This side had pine trees on it so we would keep stepping on sharp pine cones.  At the top we found Quinlin waiting for us.

Paintball Party (action version)

BAM BAM BAM!  Paintballs whizzed by my head.  I was running through a painball field trying to get to the other sniper tower.  Another volley of paintballs shot by me.  I was running along side Nicolae.  We were running through a ditch in a woods.  We were trying to eliminate the other team.   POW!  A paintball hit a tree next to us.  We were half way there.  Nicolae and I ducked behind a big plywood board.  The board had some holes in it that we could shoot out of.  "3. 2. 1. GO!" I said.  We ran out from behind the board and raced to the next.  There was only 1 more board between us and the sniper tower.  We each jumped out on different sides of the board.  BAM! BAM! BAM!  We shot at the tower and the sniper returned fire.  SPLAT!  We had hit the sniper.  He walked down with his hands raised above his head.  We ran up the tower and hid behind the walls.  No one had seen us so we peeked our heads above the wall.  There were 3 people on the top of the enemies base which was below us to the right.  We opened fire.  Bullets rained down upon them.  They tried to return fire but by the time they figured out where it was coming from they had already all been shot.  Only 2 remained.  They were on the first level of the base.  We would have to come down to get them. We walked down the stairs slowly so they wouldn't here us.  Bullets launched into the first floor of the base.  Our team was firing on them.  We got to the bottom floor and walked into the base.  They were at the windows shooting at our team.  Silently we went behind them and aimed our guns.  BAM! BAM!  We shot them and our team won.  We walked down to the entrance of the course and told them that our team won.  Our group walked back along the path for 5 minutes until we reached the refill station.  We refilled our guns and headed back for another round of paintball.

Paintball

It was Sunday morning and it was my friend Storms birthday.  He was having his birthday party at a paintball place called Lone Wolf Paintball.  I got on my clothes and wore an extra pair of everything so the paintballs wouldn't hurt as much.  I ate breakfast and got into the car.  I was going to be dropped of at some other peoples house to go to the party and they would take me there.  We drove down the road following the directions on their GPS.  Lone Wolf Paintball was a little over an hour away, so we would listen to music and play games on our devices.  When we finally arrived a few of the people coming to the party including Storm were already there.  We waited for everyone to arrive then got out guns and loaded them.  We could get paint grenades but they cost extra money so we didn't.  We took pictures of all of us together on some bleachers holding the paintball guns.  Then we set off for the arenas.

  There were multiple types on multiple arenas.  There was capture the flag on a place with a little castle at each side where we would keep our flag.  We would guard it and try to steal the other teams flag.  There was also elimination where the last team standing wins.  In all the games there 2 teams, but once someone from a different field crossed over the fence.

We started with a game of elimination.  Nicolae and I stayed together and we hid behind a wall right next to our base.  The wall had holes in it where we could shoot.  One time one of the dads hid right in front of our wall but in front of a tree so the people at the main base couldn't see him.  We shot him in the but and he was out.

We also played capture the flag.  There was a castle in the middle of the field that you could snipe from so it was very useful to get to it.  There also were sniping towers that were next to the flags so I would snipe anyone that came near.  On one side the sniper tower had no walls but on the other side it had walls.  I snuck over to the other
