In January Papa brought Logan and me to an abandoned homesite to treasure hunt for old coins and artifacts.
He said not to worry, the house wasn't haunted.
In February Logan and I taught our New York Country Cousin Laura how to play Nintendo.
In early Spring my Mom and I visited our president's home.
In April my brother Tony made his first visit to Papa's "Patuxent Fields" to search for Indian arrowheads.
In May Papa said it was OK to climb aboard an F4 Phantom Jet at the Annapolis Naval academy.
(Grandma Pat was not pleased.)
In June my baseball teammates and I rescued a frog at Cal Ripken's Field, Aberdeen, Maryland.
At Brant Lake, New York in August we climbed Sand Beach Moutain opposite our camp. Papa said black bears don't venture this far south in the Adirondacks.
(My Dad and me.)
At Brant Lake's inlet I caught my first bass of the summer.
It's now tradition to visit Homestead Gardens Nursery the day after Thanksgiving.
Papa says I have amazing balance. Sometimes I just stand and walk on things without thinking. Like the time he saw me
skipping across fence posts.
Thank you for visiting,
Luke Anthony.
On July 4th my Dad protected citizens at the Catonsville, Maryland Fireworks show.

In september we visited Maryland's
Medieval Renaissance Festival of a 14th Century Middle Ages wooded village.
In November Papa took us to another abandoned homesite to search for old treasure. I photographed ghosts I knew were hiding inside.
