Michael's Adventures with Swinger

On Friday Swinger was so excited to come to my house.  Before we went to the variety show we ate pizza for dinner.  Swinger was upset that there weren’t any bananas, but he enjoyed the cookies for dessert.  When we were ready to walk to the variety show, Swinger was so excited.  When we got there Swinger and I sat next to Zach and Noah.  Swinger’s favorite act in the first part was Nate’s Michael Jackson moonwalk dance.  At intermission Swinger and I got a big Kitkat to eat.  During the second half I sat next to Zach, Nate, and Brendon.  Later in the second half Ben and J.T came to sit with us.   Swinger said his favorite act in the second half was the last one with my brother and his friends being swimmers.  At the end J.T, Ben, Nate, Zach, and I took a picture with Swinger.  When we got home, Swinger and I were super tired so we went to bed.

 The next morning Swinger and I played video games.  Then we had breakfast and just hung out around the house and watched T.V.  Then a few hours later it was time for me to get ready for my soccer game.  Swinger was so excited to come and watch me play soccer.  When we got there I warmed up.  Then the game started.  Every time our team scored Swinger would yell “GOAL!!!” as loud as he could. After the game Swinger was so glad we won. Then we took a picture with some of my teammates.

 When we got home, we ate lunch and went outside to play basketball with my neighbor Adrian.  Later, Swinger, my brother, and I rode our bikes to Shagg and played football and basketball with some friends. When we got home we helped my dad with work outside.   After that we went to Mark’s house to play hockey and football.  At dinnertime we came home because my grandparents were coming over for dinner.  We had steak for dinner.  Swinger really enjoyed my mom’s chocolate chip banana bread for dessert.  When my grandparents left Swinger and I went to bed.

 When I woke up Swinger was already up and playing Madden Mobile on my ipad.  Then Swinger and I both had a chocolate donut for breakfast.  A few hours later, when Swinger was playing minnie hoops he kind of got tangled up in the net.  Then, later in the afternoon, my sister, my brother, and I played the game Trouble.  After that we ate pork chops for dinner. They were really good.  After dinner we just hung out until it was time for bed.  I had a great time spending the weekend with Swinger.

Swinger's Adventures with Ashlyn


Swinger was so excited to come home on Friday.  Swinger met my other monkey, Bananas, he was so happy. Friday night Swinger, Bananas and I played on my Ipod. 

On Saturday Swinger and I slept in until 8:00, we were so tired. Saturday afternoon, Swinger came with me to my basketball practice. He learned all about our play strategy called, pizza! Saturday night, I was going to a dance with my dad and Swinger stayed home because monkeys were not allowed. While I was gone Swinger helped my brother make cookies for school, it was actually homework! Swinger began to get naughty because he was mad that he couldn’t go to the dance. He was hanging on the ceiling fan, hiding in the curtains and even tried to eat our hermit crabs. When I got home Swinger was playing on my IPod but then he let me play a little while he just sat on my head and watched me. It was getting late so Swinger and I went to bed. 

On Sunday morning, my mom and dad went to go pick up my girl scout cookies while Swinger and I waited patiently. There were so many cookies that Swinger made just a little fort to play in, I said “why not bigger” Swinger nodded his head. Soon it was time to go to my basketball game, Swinger cheered us on. Swinger was upset that we didn’t win because we played a great game. When we got home from my basketball game, Swinger was hanging from the fish tank just watching the fish swim around (he was there for a while). We went out to dinner for Valentine’s day to Fridays. Swinger ate some shrimp because they forgot to bring him a banana. Swinger ate some of my pasta and he liked it so much he wanted to eat it all. On the way home from dinner, Swinger was hanging from the handle inside the car, swinging around and having so much fun. Swinger was tired and I was too so we went to bed. 

On Monday, Swinger and I woke up and went down stairs and had donuts for breakfast.  After breakfast, my mom let all of us play video games all morning. Swinger, my mom and I went to the store, when Swinger saw the bananas he went crazy. After dinner it was time for swim lessons and then basketball practice. Both Swinger and I were tired after all that.

Zachary's Big Adventure With Swinger

     I was so excited to bring Swinger home with me on Friday.  As soon as we got to my house Swinger went straight to the kitchen.  He was so hungry that he got a mug and wooden spoon and was ready for dinner!  I gave him a sweet banana for a before dinner snack. We ate dinner later on and got ready to go out to a couple of stores.  We went to Target and Best Buy with my mom and big brother Alex.  He helped me carry a heavy Target bag. We tried out some new games on the Wii U at Best Buy.  Swinger and I played on my iPad.  He also enjoyed helping me open some new Poke'mon Cards.  We did so much that we fell asleep early.

     On Saturday, we woke up early and had a big pancake breakfast.  I took a shower and got ready for Soccer practice.   My team did great and we won by two goals. Swinger was jumping up and down in excitement!   My coach even posed for a picture with swinger after scrimmage.  After soccer practice we had a quick lunch and went to Park Ridge for my haircut.  When we got back in the car  Swinger was behaving really silly. He started swinging and hanging from the inside of the car handle.  I sat him down and buckled him safely.  We went to Super Dog for dinner.  

     Sunday was the day for Swinger to get a good wash!  Swinger helped me study for my moon quiz.  He took a nap while I read for 30 minutes and cleaned up my room.  He woke up just in time to watch the Super Bowel with my dad, mom and brother.  We had pizza and snacks.  Swinger and I had a great weekend!
