Our Trip

On Winter break, my family went on a trip to four places. Strasbourg, which is a city in France, a town in Switzerland called Basel, Munich in Germany, and in Czech Republic, Prague. We did sightseeing, tours, monuments, castles, cathedrals, museums, and bridges. They were really neat. I like the castles best. We saw our friends with their two kids. We went to dinner with them and spent time with them. When we were in Prague, I got a marionette. It's like a puppet with strings that move the legs and arms. I really like him. His name is 'Ulvenik". He's a character that was created during the time of King Charles and he is a trouble-maker. They did not have TV back then and they put on puppet shows to entertain the people.

Guess What?

When we were on a trip to Strasbourg, a city in France, we found out that we had LICE!!! It was so bad that we had to soak our heads in olive oil with a shower cap on over to get rid of the lice. We had to sleep with it on overnight!

Song About Llama

On Tuesday my baby-sitter Sarah came over to help me and my sister with our homework. Our baby-sitter was a camp counselor, so she knows a lot of funny songs. My Great Grandma Violaine happened to be in Paris too. We invited them both out to dinner with us and when we were walking back Sarah taught me and my sister a really funny song and it goes like this:

This is Sarah from when we first arrived in Paris.

Sword Fighting (Fencing)

Yesterday, my family went to a cool museum called Palais de la Decouverte (Palace of Discovery).  They had lots of exhibits with rats, spiders, ants and bees.  We met up with our friends who had signed me and my sister up for a fencing class.  Fencing is when people have swords that aren't sharp and they try and touch the other person in the chest with the sword.  At first, I was really shy but after a little while I got used to it and it was really fun.

Futuroscope

A few weeks ago, my grandparents visited and we wen to a cool amusement park called Futuroscope.  My dad rented a huge van that was white.  When I first saw the van, I was OMG!  It was HUGE.

There were so many cool things at Futuroscope like a cool boat ride, a zip line, an upside-down wheel that you ride in.  There was a huge play structure too.  I had so much fun.

Normandi

Two weeks ago my family and I went to a place called Normandie. It was so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!! We went to a lot of castles. One of them was called Mont Saint Michel. Three words: IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Music Festival

Sorry that I haven't been blogging. I'm very busy lately. I've been going to school and taking dance class and gymnastics class. I have a lot of homework and helping around the house doing my chores. So now, here we go!

A couple of weeks ago, me, my dad, and my sister were walking home from the frozen foods grocery store. It's called "Picard" and it's kind of small and it only sells frozen food. My favorite thing that they have are breakfast potatoes.

On the way home, we saw a ton of police officers with big shields and guns. There were also tons of people around. We weren't sure what was going on.

Just as we returned, my mom was coming outside. She and I wanted to go into the crowd and find out what was happening, my sister and dad were scared. My mom and I urged them to come so they did.

We found out that it was a music festival happening right in front of our apartment. There were big trucks with people on them playing loud music. And after every truck passed people started following them in the street, dancing.

I saw people dancing on top of bus stops. It was cool!

We had to get back home for our babysitter because my mom and dad were going out for the night. Her name is Sarah and she's really really nice and we have a lot of fun together.
