  2. This summer I went to the gun show with my dad. I saw alot of guns. There where guns from the time that pirates existed upto now. Most guns were on sale. There were rifles,snipers,shotguns,pistols,very big machine guns... the only gun I couldn't find was a basooka. There were also knives and samurai swords that were actually really cheap. There wasn't only american guns there were also guns from othe countries. My favorite gun of all was the m4 carbine. I thought the design was well made and it wasn't too heavy. I had a lot of fun in the gun show.#2

Then it was night fall, I saw somthing in the river. I thought it was a crocidile, a wave or a water snake! I thought it was a wave. But no one knew what it was...

  5. #10 This summer I went to palm springs air museum. I got to go inside a b-17 super fortress from world war 2. I also got to see p51 mustang fighter plane a corsair a wildcat and a japanese zero. I was also aloud to see inside a world war 2 avenger plain. I really liked the p40 world war 2 fighter plain. After i saw the planes I went upstiars to the library and got to use the flight simulators. Then I went down stiars to the gift shop and got a p40 model airplane just to let you know the p40 is the plane with the shark face. This was probabably my favorite part of the summer.

    This summer I went to Sea World with my cousins Megan, Emma, Michael, Syciala, Peter, and John. Also my Aunt Doreena, Aunt Sarah, Mom, and sister,Mary. Also my Uncle Chuck and Uncle Mike. First we saw a show called Blue Horizons. The host said that the first 12 rows are the soak zone so my cousins and I sat in the third row but when it came to the splashing part only the first row got splashed probaly because the things that were splashing us were dolphins but still my cousins and I were very upset. So after that we went to a ride called Ship Wreck Rapids. Everyone went on the ride except my sister , since she's in a wheelchair, and my mom. When we all came off the ride we were all soaked. So we decided to see a elmo show for the younger ones. It was a 4-D movie so at some parts of the movie the stuff in the movie came out in the audience. After that we all went to see the shark exibit and flomingos. Then we went to the Shamoo Show and Megan, Emma, Michael, and I sat in the soak zone and we got soaked and our cothes didn't dry until two and a half hours after the show. We finally didn't leave until 10:00 p.m. We all had a really fun timeat Sea World.

  9. #27... One interesting thing I did this summer is I got a Crowntailed Betta fish. It is a boy and it has a big bushy tail. I named him Royal because of the fact that he is a Crowntailed Betta fish. The colors on his whole body are very colorful.The colors are red, blue, and partially purple. He can't be in a tank with another fish unless he is ready to mate. Otherwise he will eat the other fish or it will eat him. When he is mad he swims super fast and he loves to eat. He wasn't very expensive but with the food, the tank, the plants, and the colorful rocks, it was kind of a lot. When I got him was so happy. That is the one interesting thing I did this summer.

I had fun.

  14. #17 This summer I went to Palm Springs with my friend Kenzy. Her grandpa had a timeshare at a resort. It was really fun there, it had seven pools five hot tubs and a lazy river. It was super hot there, so hot it made the pool water hot. Even at night you had to shoes or else the sement would burn your feet. At night, we would go night swimming and run through the sprinklers, it was the only thing that was cold so we loved it. Everyday we went to the ice cream shop inside the resort. The resort had a lot of cool things like grocery stores and restuants. One day, Kenzy and I even made a spa!We mashed up things like fruit and added stuff like face lotions, then we sliced some cucumbers and when our parents came back we told them our idea,they thought it was a great idea! So when the sun started to set we raced over to a hot tub by our room,put the face cream on,and just relaxed. It was a really fun summer.

    An interesting thing I did this summer was when I flew to Chicago to visit my dad. We were going to be there for exactly three weeks, and in those three weeks my little brother was going to turn seven. We wanted to spend his birthday with more family members so we drove to Littlerock,Arkansas. That's were my grandparents live, and on the way to Arkansas our car air condtioning broke! After a few minutes it was allready starting to get hot and we were in the middle of nowhere! All of the people in the car were blazing hot, then a few hours later we passed by a gas station and pulled up there. Inside there were electric fans,so we bought two. And for the rest of the car ride it was nice and cool. When we got there it was dark out and the next day was my brothers birthday, he got these lego sets that were cool. And the rest of my vacation was a blast of fun!!!

  16. #21 One of the interesting things I did this summer was I went to New York City and the Hamptons. Our family went to the beach A LOT! Once I thought I saw a baby turtle in the water but it was actually a Blue Clawed Crab! I also thought that there was a piece of sand glass so I touched it and it was a Moon jellyfish! My sister, Juliette, and I got stung by a few jelly fish and we saw huge jellies too! We stayed in a really nice house with our friends. Our friends and we went to historical places, museums, hikes, and a lot more! When all of us got to New York City we went straight to the Museum of Natural History. I was blown away by all of the exhibits! On the way back, we walked home through Central Park. The next day we went to a lot of churches and they were beautiful! After that, we went to the World Trade Center. It felt freaky to be there. Both families went to see famous buildings such as United Nations. Finally, the family and I went to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. I took a lot of pictures! On the last day we went to Times Square and saw the play Billy Elliot. The play was about a boy whose dad wants him to become a boxer but Billy wants to be a ballet dancer. Finally, we went to Julliard (which was amazing) and the Empire State building. I learned that the elevator in there goes really fast and that the building has about 122 floors! When our families were at the top of the Empire State Building it was INCREDIBLE! You could see all of New York including some of New Jersey. My trip to New York was absolutely amazing!

    An intresting thing that I did this summer is when I went to the beach I saw a marrond seal washed up on the beach.It was still alive but it wasn,t moving much so I got a big spoon(whitch I found after my 4 year old cusin threw into the tides)got some fresh ocean water and put it on the seal. then it moved and it stared at me. I thought I was helping it so I went to go get some more water but when I was about to put some more water on it a ladytold me to stop puting water on it so I did.She thought it coud be sick so it came to the beach so it could rest. We all agried so I went home but ever sincethen i'm still wondering if it still alive and what did they do to it?

    This summer I rode a horse at my uncle's house in Washington! I did a lot of other stuff there but the main thing for me was riding the horses. I loved riding T.W.!(That is the name of the beautiful horse I rode!) When I was on that horse I felt like nothing could touch me. My uncle would guide me up a hill and the horses would run really fast!! The necklaces I was wearing would bounce up and hit me! It was a wonderful pain. We would ride on the grass and it was so smooth. As we passed a few other houses, I could here all the kids yelling, "Horses, Horses!" My uncle told me that the horses love to run home. I got a little scared at first, but it was awesome! Riding that horse was the best feeling in the world!!!!!
