Busy! Busy! Busy!

Dear Journal,

1. First, I am so busy with school, after school activity's, and other things that I don't have much time get to you guys! I haven't even checked my email for a while!

2. Second, this week is halloween. I am soo glad I am not going to the racquet clubs halloween party 'cause:
- Don't have costume
- Don't like to be near 200 kids at once
- Don't like what serving for dinner
- and I'm getting old!!

3. Third, I went to a play on Thursday last week. My mom and I were sitting next to a girl and boy. They looked like they were in middle school. And I was right. You know how I found out? Well, the girl who was sitting next to us was actually coming over Saturday night to babysit me. She is Jacobs friend, Deans, older sister, Brennan. She is REALLY pretty and tall for a 8th grader and she 14 years old.

4. Fourth, let me tell you about BRIC. BRIC stands for Books Read In Class. We have read over 400 books in class.

Sorry, no more candy!
Bye!

Vacation, the Zoo, what could be better?

Dear Journal

First, vacation. During October vacation, we went to Hangzhou. It took us almost 3 hours to get there by driving. We went to a hotel named the Sofitel. Once we got there, we put our things in our room, and we asked the hotel to bring us somewhere for a couple of hours. Our driver Jack told the hotel that we were VIPs hahahaha.. One of the hotel people drove in a golf cart and led us to a really high mountain that led all the way to a pagoda. We had to climb thousands of steps to get to the top. Once we came back down, my legs were shaking, because I walked maybe millions of steps that day. When we came back to the hotel after the pagoda, we saw a big sign that had a lot of kids and adult activities. My dad came over and said, "Can we go fishing at 4:30?" And the hotel staff said yes, and we went fishing later that day. We caught two fish, but we threw them back in the lake. The first one Jacob caught, and we just decided not to cook it. The second one I caught, we were going to decide to cook it, but it wasn't good for cooking.

Second, the Zoo. We went to the Zoo with my dad's coworker and his family. My mom didn't come though, she needed some time to herself, and we don't want to get into the details. We saw humongous giraffes, tigers, pandas, zebras, and as a matter of fact we saw fish and water animals.


Great big Panda Bear Hugs for everybody!
