(August 1st): This summer I have been very active. More active than before when I was distracted by the computer and Minecraft. My favorite activities have been going to the park, playing night games, swimming, water fights, and camping. This summer has been a lot more fun, because we have more energy as a family and we are going outside to play more. It has been super-hot and I am looking forward to Fall so we can play more outside games. I want to play more Baseball, tennis, tag, chase games and ride my bike. I have also been eating better foods, less junk food and more fruits. With all the activities and eating better my clothes are getting baggy… Cameron #MyHeartChallenge

Fish Lake Vacation, July 2016: Fish Lake was awesome. I had a lot of fun. I worked on a bunch of merit badges for scouts including the hiking merit badge. I went on a 10 mile hike with my Mom for the hiking merit badge. I got to walk the entire lake and look at all three boat docks as we walked by them. All the boats and everything I saw on the hike was so cool We also went fishing a lot. My favorite was on the Pontoon we rented and on our little 2 man boat. I love being out on the water. We ate really healthy on this vacation and we made meals that we could make at home, all over the fire. It was yummy. When we were camping I did not miss my TV. I went camping for 2 weeks with no TV time. I went to scout camp for one week 6 hours after I got home from family camp. I love camping… Cameron #MyHeartChallenge.

(July 8th)The 5K walk was fun. I thought it would be harder. It was easier than I thought. I ran 2 out of the three laps. I was the first in my family to finish. Tristan was next. It was exciting to see how much everyone in the challenge has improved. Everyone in my family completed the run in good time and I was very impressed. We have all improved a lot. I liked the prize, I won a “personal Ventilator” fan. It make my mom and I laugh that it said Ventilator. I had a lot of fun with my first 5K. I want to do these every year with my family. It was easier than I thought… Cameron #MyHeartChallenge.

This week we went to Taylorsville Park twice. Once we saw the Cannoneers shoot a lot of cannons to the live music the Utah symphony was playing outside. I love this activity with my family it is a lot of fun and the cannons are awesome! The second trip we saw the Taylorsville 20th birthday fireworks. They were the best firework show that I have ever seen. It was really cool. I loved the big fireball they had to lite the “20” at the end of the show. The fireball surprised me. Today, I went and got braces on. I have never had braces before and they feel really weird. They say that I will be able to go in every few weeks and change the colors on my braces. I will have to bush my teeth often and floss. Flossing with braces is a pain. I have to brush each bracket. I also have to eat better so I do not pull my braces off. That would hurt. I am excited to have braces! Cameron #MyHeartChallenge

Today I went to Youth Conference with our church. We went to a ropes course in Utah County. It was a lot of fun. We paddled canoes, flew on a zipline, did a log climb, a rope course, a large swing with rope and we played a lot of physical games including a parachute game where we tossed someone up in the air and caught them on the parachute. We played all day and I was able to do everything I wanted to do. I love being outside and trying new things. I did not get as tired as I use to. I am getting healthier and stronger every day! When we ate subway sandwiches for lunch, I piled my sandwich so high with veggies that I had to pull the top off and place it back on top of all the veggies. I had a lot of yummy veggies for lunch! ..Cameron #MyHeartChallenge

This week I had my birthday. For my birthday I got a 3D-F35 lightening 2 kite. I also got a green tennis racquet and lots of stuff to go camping with. I loved all the outdoor activity stuff that I got! I love being outside. On my birthday we went and flew my kite. I found out it is a lot of work and steps to fly a fancy kite. We had to constantly move to keep the kite flying. It was more work than I thought it would be. It was so fun. The next day we played tennis with my new racquet. It was a hot day, I hit a lot of balls and we had lots of fun. For my Birthday I was also arrested at the library fair….Cameron #MyHeartChallenge

This week was the last week of school. I am off school for the summer. My goal is not be on a screen so much and play in 60 every day. I am going to build more legos instead of watching so much TV this year. This week we wen to the mountains and I got 12,804 steps playing and hiking in the mountains. I brought a fallen tree back to camp while collecting firewood. The trip was fun. I feel stronger and healthier after exercising more each day. I look forward to play in 60 “Exercise” everyday with my family…. Cameron #MyHeartChallenge
