Basil II

We've been learning about Basil II and the Byzantine Empire.

It was the Empire after Rome fell in the East. The capital was Constantinople. It was a big empire for over 300 years and then it shrank til only Constantinople was left as the Ottoman Turks destroyed it an that was the end of the Byzantine Empire.

Basil II was the Emperor during the peak of its power. He conquered Bulgaria where my ancestors are from. I like his name though because in Redwall there is a character named Basil Stag Hare.

Today we conquered Jerusalem on Civ IV from Basil and we were the French in the Middle Ages. We are also at war with the Vikings. The middle ages it seems like everyone was at war.

1st Soccer Game

Today was my first official soccer game.

In the 2nd half the score was 3-2.

I was running toward the goal and Tyler on my team was on the other side of the field with the ball.

Tyler passed it to me and I shot it and scored a GOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!

I don't know if anyone filmed it, but if felt great.

I learned that soccer is fun and I love playing with my brother.
