This year the Assiniboine River flooded very badly. The Assiniboine River runs through the valley we live in. The people in Saskatchewan let a whole bunch of water out of a dam, so that meant that we were going to have alot of water coming our way. Down in our valley the water came up onto our fields and over our gravel road. That caused great distress in the Routledge family, we were forced to borrow our neighbors boat.
On the morning of Thursday, May 5, 2011 our basement had a tragic problem. We had found out that we had water all over our basement floor, we had to take every single thing out of our basement. The reason our basement flooded was because of the creek in our backyard, we have a small creek running in our backyard. The creek joins with the Assiniboine River causing the creek to backup because the river could not take any more water.
This has been a very interesting time in my life. We have never had a flood this bad in more than 100 years.
Sam felt the sun shining down on his shoulders while he sat happily by the stream. It was a perfect sunny day and luckily he was spending it with Sarah. Then, all at once Sarah pointed at the water. “Look Sam!” Sarah exclaimed. “It is a…It is a tsunami."”
Sam stared into Sarah's eyes, then Sarah yelled, "Run!" Sam and Sarah both ran for there lives. They were searching for the highest point of the valley. Sam saw the highest point. He started running without Sarah. Sarah started screaming at Sam, "Wait, where are you going?"
Sam looked back at Sarah, "I'm going for help. I'm sorry Sarah."
The wave was starting to catch up to Sarah. The wave was over 30 feet tall. Sarah turned around and stared right into the middle of the wave and then it hit her. Sam turned around at the last second and saw his best friend getting absorbed by the huge wave.
Sam was at the top of the hill. He just sat there and watched his city get absolutely destroyed by the monstrous tsunami. Sam was weeping because he saw that the tsunami was filling up the valley like a bath tub. It wouldn't be long before the valley over flowed with all of the water.
All of a sudden Sam heard a roaring noise. He thought that it was another wave from the tsunami, but it wasnt't. Right above Sam there was a helicopter

My Christmas Holidays
Over my Christmas holidays my cousin and his mom came out and so did my other Auntie from Montreal. She could only stay till the 27 so my Auntie from Winnipeg had to drive her to the airport on the 27th. On Christmas Eve my cousin and I stayed up until 5 in the morning playing Cod. My mom came down and told us to go to bed so we would be able to get up in time for Christmas. In the morning my grandma and grandpa Harrison came over for Christmas with my 2 Aunties. (My cousin stayed at our house). After we opened gifts we had breakfast. We had lots for breakfast; eggs, bacon, pancakes and lots more. After we were done breakfast my cousin and I went skating on my outdoor rink. Then we went tobogganing on our big hill in the pasture. By the time we were done that it was supper time. On New Years Eve we just stayed at our house and watched the World Junior Tournament, and we watched some movies too. I think that was a pretty good Christmas break. 
5. The air was bitter cold as I stepped tentatively on the treacherous, ice-covered sidewalk. I steadied myself in a clumsy, jerking motion. "I hope he appreciates this," I grumbled. I was shopping for the one gift he wanted and I needed to brave the blizzard in order to pick it up. Snow blinded me and I ducked my head as the heavy flakes pelted my winter hat. I opened the door to the old shop at the end of the street. I hadn't really noticed it before, but he had said what he wanted most was inside this dilapidated building. The bell on the door tinkled as I yanked it open. What I found inside was almost indescribable.
When I walked In I saw the nicest hockey store I've ever saw in my life. The shelves were stocked with the nicest hockey sticks, the nicest gloves, helmets, skates and so much more.
I walked up the the counter and rang the bell, a man walked up to me and said,"Hi, my name is Doug, how are you today?". "I'm fine thanks, this is a pretty nice shop," I replied. The man smiled at me and walked over to the gloves, then he said," Is this something you would be looking for?". I did not know if I should get this for my cousin, then I said to the man,"Um, I don't think this is the thing my cousin would want for Christmas,".
So the man just turned the other way and headed off towards the sticks. As soon as we got there i knew this is what my cousin wanted for Christmas, I asked the man,"Is there any holiday deals on the sticks?" the man replied,"No our boss doesn't let us have sales, sorry. Would you be interested in the Reebok 11k, or the Sher-Wood T90?". I was still just standing there admiring all of the sticks, they had every new model. After I was done admiring the sticks I turned to the man and said,"I think I will take the Reebok 11K and the Sher-Wood T90 please,".
The man walked up to the shelf and grabbed the 11k and the T90, then he walked over to the skates. He looked at me and said,"Since you bought two of our best sticks you will be able to get one pair of skates for half price,". "I don't think I have enough money on me right now to buy skates too,".
The man took the two sticks to the counter and rung them through the till. The man looked at me and gave me the bill. When I saw the bill I was amazed both the sticks only cost me $200.00. So I grabbed the sticks and started off toward the door, the man yelled,"Have a nice day sire,". I turned around and waved to him.
That had to be one of the best hockey stores I've ever been to in my life!

It remained 1-0 going into the second period, in the middle of the second Cody got the puck after Riley cycled it down low and walked into the slot and took a shot. The puck went low blocker side. When there was less than five minutes left, Tanner won the draw back to me and I took a slapshot, Tanner tipped it and the goalie stopped it but then Riley put in the rebound to put us up 3-0.
Near the start of the third Fortin scored five whole on Brett to give Souris there first goal of the game. With about 2 minutes left in the game I passed the puck to Wyatt.W and then he passed it back to me, me and Kyle were on a two on one. I took the puck wide and gave Kyle a backhand saucer pass and he tapped it in to give us the 4-1 game.
With about 50 seconds left Matt got hit from behind, so Derek went in and started to punch the guy right in the side of the head. Final score 4-1 for us.

Portage Tournament
This weekend our team is going to a tournament in Portage. We play Friday and then maybe 3 games Saturday, it should be a pretty busy two days. If we win so many games then we will play Sunday in the semi-finals, then the winner from that goes to the final. On Friday night we play against St. Boniface, it should be a pretty good game. I hope that we make the finals.
