The Road Trip

 

   On the way to the State Fair we went to a water fall. My mom took tones of pictures of us. There were big rocks around the water fall. There was a huge rock that when I looked down it felt like we were 100 feet up! It was fun. “Get in the car.”My mom said.

   Once we got to the State Fair I was excised. The first thing we did was go to the Animal House. There were thousands of animals there were rabbits, chicks, goats, pigs, horses, and much, much more. There was a horse ride I went on a huge white horse with black speckles.

   I climbed a huge rock wall I made it to the top by myself! Then we saw chine’s actors they were amazing they did back flips and other cool tricks.

   We went on tones of rides and I went on the Apollo for the first time. There were tones of games and the last one I played was a duck game. I won a toy parrot then we went back to the hotel.”Can we go to the pool?” I asked. She said yes. The Apollo was very fun! I hope to go again.

My Dog Blazze

 

                             By Kilei England

   I was so excited when I got my dog because she was my first pet. When I first got her she was very calm. Once we brought her home then she wasn’t very calm any more. Then she started running everywhere. A couple months later we accidentally left out the paint. There were red paw prints from the table to the floor! She always sleeps with me. She is almost always warm. She is black, super light brown almost white, and a golden brown. She has big brown eyes. She is a cute lovable pet because she’s sweet. Now she is two years old. I hope she lives for a long time.
