Dog Attack

"Race all of you to Lauren's yard!" I yelled to everyone.  I sprinted all the way to Lauren's house, the little blades of grass brushing against the tips of my shoes.  "I won!" I yelled "Hey do you guys want to play with Hershey?" Lauren said "Will Hearshy attack us?" asked Erika "No she won't." Lauren replied. Lauren was the first to climb over the fence, second was Lexi, then me.  "Erika are you coming or not?" asked Lexi.  Erika hesitated for a bit then pulled herself over the fense.  Once we were all in the yard Hershey bound for us.  Swiftly I put my hand to the top to the 3 foot high fence and jumped over.  Everyone made it out unharmed.  Then Lauren hopped over the fence to calm Hershey down.  "It's all right you can come in." yelled Lauren.  We all went back over the fence and this time Hershey was calm.  "Lauren can you go get her ball?" I asked "Sure just hold on to her collar so she won't run around and scare Erika." Lauren said waiting for me to grab th collar.  I walked over to grab her collar.  In a few seconds Lauren was back with a tennis ball.  She handed me the ball.  I threw it far.  She let go of the collar and Hershy as fast as lightning bolted off for it.  We through it again and again.  "I'm bored.  I'll be sitting in your backyard on the swing." Lauren told me walking away.  Lexi picked up the ball and through it.  Instead of going for the ball Hershey went for Lexi.  Hershey attacked Lexi.  Like a flash of lightning I jumped into action.  I ran over to Lexi to grab onto Hershey's collar and let Lexi and Erika get out.  That was a scare I thought but I was going to get alot more scared.

An Important Message I Heard From Joey Nowak

The most important message I heard from Joey Nowak was when he told us "When you feel doing somthing is special like for me, writing.  Keep doing it and follow your dreams."

Louisiana

We were at New Orleans, Louisiana.  My Mom, Dad, Little sister Erika and I were at our hotel room getting ready to go sight seeing in New Orleans.  I was most exited to go to Parakeet Point at Audobon Aquarium of the Americas.  First we went to a little Louisianian resturant for breakfast.  I ordered an alligator sausage and scrambled eggs, Erika ordered grits, ham and eggs, my mom ordered a biscut, ham and eggs and my dad ordered cajun alligator sausages and eggs.  The sausages and eggs were delish.  Once we finished eating we took a walk to the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas.  On our way we saw alot of shops and heared Louisianian music.  We bought tickets to get in.  

Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger Hunt

We were getting signed into Adventure Ocean on the navigator of the seas．"Have fun!" said my parents as they left Adventure Ocean (the kids club on the ship).  My sister Erika and I washed our hands and took off our shoes.  "Hey everybody, today we are going to go on a scavenger hunt." said Marshmallow an Adventure Ocean counselor "Get your shoes on." Everyone got their shoes on and Marshmallow lead us out of the room.  "Our first clue is 'This is where I go to lift bags of my treasure and get stronger.'" said Cookie reading off of a little card that said “clue 1” another Adventure Ocean counselor.  "The place where people work out on the 12th floor." said Erika.  We got into the elevator to go to the 12th floor.  Once we were on the 12th floor we went to the small gym.  "Now we have to find another clue in here." said Marshmallow.  We searched through all of the equipment but didn't make a mess.  "I found it." Brianna yelled.  "It says 'My crew and I like to watch pirate movies here.'" said Marshmallow "It's the movie theatre." said Jack. We went down to the movie theatre and I found the clue in a chair.  “The clue says ‘This place has all of the pictures my mate and I took’” said Cookie “Sound like the picture place.” said Michelle.  We got into the elevator and headed to the picture room.  In the picture room we were not allowed to move the pictures because they belong to someone else.  “I found it.” said Seth.  It was put right in front of a picture.  "The clue says 'In here you will find the treasure there are ships and kids here.'" said Cookie.  This clue was hard suddenly "The Aquanauts room!" said Hailey.  We marched into the Aquanauts room where they were telling stories.  And there was the treasure chest.  In the chest were Adventure Ocean backpacks filled with a water bottle, an Inky and two chocolate coins.  What an Adventure!

Snorkeling

Snorkeling

The wind whipped my hair around as we sat on a speed boat to go snorkeling.  Listening to the boat crew's snorkeling safety lecture, I put on my shiny pink snorkel mask.  I looked over to my dad, who was getting two life jackets.  "We have reached the snorkeling point the crew will help you into the water.  Don't swim too far from the boat in case of an emergency." said the captain from the speakers.  "Ready to go Vivian?"asked my dad "Super Ready!" I said happily.  The crew had changed into their bathing suits and now were in the water to assist us.  My dad and a crew member helped me climb into the water.  The water was icy cold it took a while for me to get used to the cold water.  Once I got used to the water there was a stinging sensation in my knee I knew at once that it was my scab responding to the salt in the ocean water but I didn't care.  I put my snorkeling mask on and put the tube in my mouth.  Then I put my face in to the water.  It was a beautiful sight.  All of the colorful fish were swimming around the coral.  In a school of fish was one of the crew members.  He was swimming in circles and feeding the fish.  He swam over to me and gave me some food for the fish.  I watched as little fish the size of a medicine pill swan over to get the food.  In a few second the school of fish had eaten the food.  Another crew member was swimming around doing tricks.  I swam over to a small coral reef and saw sea turtles and a stingray swimming around some brain coral.  BEEP, BEEP, went the boat.  That was the signal that we had to get on board.  It was an amazing time and I hope to go back.
