Grand Canyon
This year over spring break I am going to the Grand Canyon. At first I thought that it was dumb to go there. But then I looked on line and found where we are staying for the week we are going. Now I can't wait to go. One of the things that I am looking forward to is sliding down the grand canyon on my butt. Also, we are going to be walking on glass above the Grand Canyon. I am so scared. What is the glass would break. So,I can't wait until my trip to the Grand Canyon.

Metaphors about me!
I am a fan going to a Justin Bieber concert.
I am as kind as a baby puppy.
I am a tree blowing in the summer breeze.
I am a child that is always caring.
I am a basketball always bouncing around.

First Kisses
What would you do if you watch dogs for a job, and lost your best friends dog? Well, in the story First Kisses by Jenny Collins Allie one of the main characters in the story opens up a dog sitting job for the summer. And well it doesn't go as planed. Her best friend lets her look after her dog and Allie ends up loosing the dog, but then finds her at a shelter down the street. Allie then learns that she doesn't need a best friend and that she should be friends with everyone.
If I was in Allie's place I would feel terrible if I lost my best friends dog. Allie ended up finding the dog at a shelter down the street, and took the dog home. But somehow her friend found out and told people not to come to the dog care. Allie thought that her summer job was over. But then more and more people came to drop their dogs off the next day. So even though one person said something bad about the dog care doesn't mean that it's true. I would just be very thankful for the people that came and make sure to give them a thanks.
This is just me but I don't think that I would open up a dog sitting job for the summer. To me summer is where you get to relax and just hang out with friends and play sports. But Allie's idea of a great summer was different. At the end of summer her job did very well and she made a lot of money. Even though her summer was great she thought there was something missing, her best friend. But, she realized that to have a great summer you don't need a best friend. In my opinion I think that you should always have a close friend because that way you always have someone to do things with. But in Allie's case the dogs were her best friends.
First kisses is a well written book that gives you a well moral lesson. What I learned from the story was that you don't need a best friend in life. You can just have a lot of close friends. In the book Allie then learns that you don't need a best friend to do everything with, you can just be friends with everyone. Even though dogs can't talk they are good friends to have.

Childhood Memory
In 2007 my dad died and I got taken away from my mom. From third grade on I have been living with my Aunt and Uncle. My uncle is my mom's brother. When I was in 5th grade my aunt and uncle decided to adopted me. At the time I didn't want to because I wanted to live with my real mom and I didn't realize what would have happened if I did live with her. When I got to 6th grade I decided that I didn't want to visit with my mom anymore and I was going to wait until I turn 18. Even though I miss her because she is my mom I think that what my aunt and uncle did for me was amazing. They took in another child.
When I got older I started to realize that my mom wasn't the good "guy" it was my dad so I am very grateful what my aunt and uncle did. The greatest memory I have with them so far is last year we went to Mexico and Marco Island Florida. Those were my first vacations. I thought that the air plane ride was the best because I had never ridden on an air plane. Then when we landed I thought that the hotel rooms were the coolest because I got to share a room with my cousin Marissa. It was kind of like a little house. We each got our own beds and a great view of a cool pool and the beach. Those were some of the best times I have spent with my family so far and I can't wait until our trips this year! Family time is some of the best time you can spend.

Volleyball
School volleyball just started. I am on the red team with almost all over my friends. I wish that Jennie was on on my team. Yesterday we had a game at Kewaskum. We lost all of the 4 matches that we played. But I think the reason for that was we won't calling the ball and the school's ceiling was really low. I scored 7 points over hand serving though. The other team has to call a time out because they wanted me to stop serving. Which was cool because I didn't know that. My coach told me. I can't wait for my game tomorrow and I hope I'll pay well.

Wisconsin Dells
Every year for my birthday I get to go to the dells. And my cousins come also. We each get to bring 1 friend. Last year I brought my best friend Nicole. It was super fun and we went to the water park everyday. After we went to the water park one day we went out to eat and a little train brought us our food. I didn't know but my aunt and uncle told the people that were there that is was my birthday. So I got so embarrassed. Because everyone sang to me. Then when I wasn't looking Nicole put a ton of sugar in my soda. I was drinking it and it tasted very weird. After that we went back to the room and had a "party" and played truth or dare. My cousin had to kiss all of the 45 posters of Justin Bieber Nicole and I had in our room. That was my fun trip to the dells!

Papa's Parrot
What would you do if your Papa owned a candy and nut shop? Well in the short story "Papa's Parrot" by Cynthia Rylant Harry one of the main characters and his friends would go to his shop everyday after school. When they started to get older they wouldn't go to his shop any more. Instead they would go to a burger place down the street. This short story is well written and gives a moral lesson.
If I was in Harry's place I would go to visit my dad everyday. Even though when you get older you want to do more things with your friends you should always try to spend as much time as you can with your parents. Even though Harry and his friends thought that the burger place was much cooler, because you could play video games. In my opinion I would want to go to my dad's shop because it's my dad and I would want to spend time with him. So, I would tell my friends that maybe sometime else I could come but I want to spend some time with my dad.
Even though I'm getting older and I want to do things with my friends , my parents still make me have family time. Even though I don't overly like it I still think it's important to have a strong relation ship with your family. Usually I will go to basketball and football games with my friends without my family. Or I will go to the movies. In the story Harry wanted to hang out with his friends but never thought that it would hurt his dad. I want to do things with my friends I need to realize that family is important too.
The story Papa's Parrot is a good story to realize that family is as important as friends are. I knew that family was important but I didn't know that family is that important. I learned that I should try to do more things with my family and not my friends.
