A day in the life of Dallas

by Dallas

In the morning I get up at 7:00.  I get my stuff ready and leave at 7:30.  My brother goes first, then my sister.  Sometimes my brother walks.  After school I wait in the car line for my mom to pick me up.  The she picks up my brother at Waller.  She gets my sister last then she brings us home.  I take my shoes off then I pop my back, then my fingers and toes.  Then I watch TV or eat something.  Then I relax and sometimes I get on the computer and sometimes when I get home I ride my bike to McKinley.  That school is by my house and there’s a playground in the front and the back.  Whenever it’s 7:30 p.m. I watch Malcolm in the Middle and maybe arfterwards, Cartoon Network.  

I was born in Missouri and lived there until I was five and then we moved to Nebraska.  We lived in Omaha and last summer I visited my dad there because my mom and dad got divorced.  He has an apartment and I had to watch PBS Kids for a week, no, two weeks!  My cat had kittens.  All of the kittens were named from Twilight names.  My black cat’s name is Alice.  My gray cat’s name is Emitt.  The orange one is James.  The mom is Bella.  The tan one is Jasper.

Swimming with the dolphins in Honolulu

By Lexi
            Last summer I went to Honolulu with my family.  While we were there, we went to Sea Life Park.  We saw a dolphin show.  We got to swim with the dolphins and feed the sea lions.  I got to feed a girl sea lion.  We also saw penguins.  My favorite activity was swimming with the dolphins.

San Antonio: the world's tallest man, the world's biggest water park, and a bridge in a spinning thing -- what's not to like?

by Cade
 
           Two months ago me and my family went to San Antonio, Texas,  for vacation.  We went to Tomb Rider 3D.  It goes underground and you shoot like spiders and cool stuff.  And we went to a River Walk.  We went on a tour on a boat.  And we went to The Guinness Book of World Records. The funnest thing I saw in there was the world’s tallest man.  And we went to Ripley’s Believe it or Not.  
       Me and my brother, Cooper, think the best part was when we went back in time.  There was a bridge in a spinning thing.  The last thing we did was go to a maze filled with mirrors.  And we went to the biggest water park in the world. 

Fun in Florida: the Atlantic and Disney World, with frogs, lizards and mosquitos

by Jaycee
            I like it when I went to Florida.  I went to the Atlantic ocean.  I went to see my cousin, Erin.  It was a fun vacation.  We went in the middle of the ocean on a boat.  We went to Disney World.  I swam in her underground pool.  There were a lot of frogs, lizards, and mosquitoes there.  We woke up at 5:45 AM to get on the plane to come home.  It was a fun time.
