Hair cuts



Today I and my mom went to get our hair cut. It was very fast. I finished before my mom did. we really needed a hair cut because the hair on the end was really unhealthy. It was my first hair cut not in America.

A weekend trip

This weekend me and my mom and dad went on a trip for the weekend. We went to the Loire Valley in France. On the way there we stopped at a cathedral called Chartres. It was fun. There were lots of stained glass windows, and there was a room full of boxes with parts of saints in them. The parts of saints were in the boxes because you need a part of a saint to build a cathedral.We stayed in a castle called Chateau Montriou. We walked around there a little and then went out for dinner. The chateau that we stayed at was very cool because it had lots of gardens on the outside. The gardens were pretty. It was funny because the flowers were still blooming, and they still had some vegetables even though it was November. In one of the gardens I picked some tomatoes and ate them. They were very good. I got a little baby tomato that was as tiny as the tip of my pinky.The place where we were staying in the chateau was very cool because it was the oldest part of it. It was from the 15th century.

The next day we went to a castle called Angers that was very cool. It had 17 towers. I got a little booklet with games in it to do on the way.

Parc Asterix






Yesterday I went to park Asterix. It was very fun. I went on a ride that was cauldrons that you went in, and you spun the cauldrons while the floor spun, and the cauldrons moved around the floor. I also went to the Gaulish village. That was fun. In the Gaulish village I got to go in Asterix's and Obelisk's houses. In Obelisk's house on the ground there were Obelisk's shoes that you got to put your feet in. and he also had a bed. In Asterix's house he only had a bed. In the Gaulish village there were also lots of restaurants and stores. The Gaulish village was on an island in the middle of the amusement park. There was also a ride that was old fashioned cars that you got to drive on a road in the forest, and while you drove through the forest there were models of people and things doing stuff in the forest. I also went on two roller coasters. One of them was bigger than the other. On the small one I could keep my hands up, but on the big one I couldn't. I also went on two carousels. On the first one there was a big Obelisk that you could go in that spun, but we didn't get to go in it. On the second one there was a different spinning thing, but it wasn't Obelisk and it was much smaller, that we got to go in. That carousel was a medieval carousel. In one part of the park there were these ginormous mushrooms with climbing things on them, and so you can climb up the mushroom. I went on one of the mushrooms, and I got up to the top. Except I didn't get to go on the top, only the stem, because the top didn't have any climbing things, and it didn't let you go onto the very top of the mushroom - just on the stem.
