Sterling, his father, and Rascal took a two week trip to Superior, Wisconsin. Describe a trip you have taken (or if you haven't taken a fun trip, make one up). Did you enjoy the trip? Would you have changed anything about the trip?

McGee- My mom, William (Brother), Jen (Mom's friend), and I took a trip to South Carolina in a condo. We had the greatest view of the beach on the back porch. Right under the porch there was a pool, too. The pool we had to ourselves because we were the only kids in the condo, so no one else was really in the pool except early in the morning. Two reasons we were there though.... One, because our grandparents (mom's parents) live in Conway, South Carolina. And second, all of us just love the beach. Every day we would go out to the beach and boogie-board or body-board. I really enjoyed the trip, one of the best. No, I wouldn't change anything in the trip... except maybe an elevator in the condo so we didn't have to go up and down those stairs to bring our stuff up. ✌ Brendan:One of my favorite trips were to North Carolina it was me my mom my dad and my two brothers and sister. I enjoyed the trip a lot. But a thing I would change is my brother being hit by a skimmer board.

Ty- One of my favorite trips was my trip to Italy. My family and I went to Venice,Florence,Capri,Pompeii,and Rome. My favorite place was Pompeii because they had nice food, huge lemons, and interesting ruins. The ruins were really cool because you could see how the people lived back then and from the bodies found, how they look. I really enjoyed the trip because there was chocolate covered waffles, pizza, pasta,and my favorite, gelato which is a rich kind of Ice Cream in many flavors. I would not change anything about my trip. ======

@Ty: I heard that Pompeii was blown up by a volcano... and then found again. Is the volcano still there or did the volcano blow it self up too?

Many of the neighbors thought Rascal was causing trouble. Do you agree with them? How would you feel if you were a neighbor?

McGee- I don't think Rascal was causing too much trouble. The neighbors were probably just saying that because Rascal wasn't a cat or dog, he was a raccoon. Still, any cat or dog could ruin a garden in your neighbors yard. Just walk over and eat the food. So I don't agree with them. If I were a neighbor I wouldn't be mad at Sterling. I would probably feel sorry and understanding towards him. If a kid next door doesn't have much of a family so he uses animals for a family, I could be expecting every once in a while for at least one of the animals to come over and eat from my garden. If a garden dies, you could make a new one. If a family or animal dies, it's much harder to bring them back.

Ty- I agree with McGee that Rascal is not causing so much trouble, at least not to put Rascal in a cage. If you have a pet and by their instinct they go over and eat food from a neighbors garden, and then the neighbor shoots them, its like you lost a family member; if you lose a garden,then you grow a new one like McGee said Brendan:Yes I agree that Rascal was causing trouble, I would feel really mad if I was one of the neighbors.

Sterling was forced to build a cage for Rascal. Why did Sterling have to build the cage? What would you have done if you were in Sterling's position? Why?
