Strange Pets By: Anne Marie

Do you like dogs? My dog is named Poopsy Doo. If you come to my house, my dog will jump on you. If you sit on my couch, he will lick you. You will not like his slobbery kisses. When I put my food on the floor, he eats it. His favorite foods are green beans, mashed potatoes, and turkey. While he is eating, he doesn't like to share. He is so beautiful. My other dog is Buggy Dee. When you tell her to sit, she sits almost like a human. My family calls that "sitting pretty." If you try to steal her dog bone, she will growl at you. One day, she bit my mom's hand. When Buggy gets bored, she starts chewing on blankets. But I think she is a very wonderful dog. Also, I have a cat. Her name is Patches. She is very kind. She sleeps a lot, but she will not sleep on the floor. When it is nighttime, she comes on my bed and cuddles with me. She also kills mice, but I don't like that because she puts the mice in front of the door. I have another cat, and his name is Peachy. He is much meaner than Patches. He also bites very hard and Patches doesn't. If you try to rub him, he will scratch you. When anybody comes near, he will hiss. I wouldn't come near him for a long time. Now I think they all are delightful.

A Day at Idlewild By: Shasta

I think you should go to Idlewild with my brother and I. I like to go to the swimming pool with Greg. I like to watch Greg do flips. One time when he did it, his pants fell down. He had boxers on. The water slides are very enjoyable go on because it's fun to get wet with friends. It is cool because the water slide flips you in the tube, and sometimes it scares you. The tubes are so fast when they go down the hill. The water buckets are so cool in the Soap Zone. They dump water on you, and when they hit you, the water hurts. I was standing there looking up, and the water splashed me. I do things with my best friends at Idlewild Park. We went on the all rides. We also went on the water slides, water buckets, and in the swimming pool. At the end of the day, my best friends, my brother, my mom and dad, and I all ate lunch. After all the food and the fun, we went home and went straight to bed.

Outdoor Fun By: Oscar

We can play activities for outdoor fun. We like to play football all the time. Next, I throw to my teammates. We can toss the football around to other people. The other team has the ball, and my team runs after them. We catch them and tackle them. Another activity I like to play is baseball. We have to line the bat up with the ball to hit the ball. When we are in the outfield, we have to catch the ball. Then we touch the base and the person is out. Baseball and football both have running in them. In football, we get to make a touchdown. Soccer is the next sport. We kick the ball into the net. Later, we are the goalie to catch the ball. We kick the ball to pass it to my teammates. Games are really fun to play in my house. We set the dominoes up all over the house. My sister knocks them over. My mom and dad like to play chess all the time. My friends like to play tag sometimes. Shasta, Michael, and Hunter are my friends. Spongebob likes to play everything we play. Do you like football, baseball, soccer, and games, too?

The Big Game By: Michael

It is very awesome to play baseball. I play with the most talented team in the league. The games are really exciting when you go to them. When you are at practice and the games, you get to spend time with your friends. My whole team can run very fast. Our number one pitcher is Levi. Our whole team hits really hard, but Nick has the most home runs. During one exciting game, Nick wasn't doing so well. Nick struck out. Immediately, we were all shocked. He said "He threw too fast! I didn't see it!" I could tell he was sad. Finally, Nick got back in the game and made a home run. My friend, Walker, yelled the loudest. According to the scoreboard, we won the game. Since Nick was the one who won the game, the whole team picked him up. We got a really big trophy, and the coach was proud of us!

Hyper Space By: Joey

Hyper Space is a really big place to go. You get to do a lot of fun stuff. You can play lazer tag, freeze tag, tv tag, and lots more. We try to come here every day. If not, we stay home and play board games like Monopoly, Chess, and Clue. They have so much stuff like water balloons. You can eat pizza and cake and so much more! Try their marble cake. It is so good, but their ice cream is better. You need at least 20 dollars to get in the building, however it is worth it to have lots of fun. If you get lost, tell someone you know or try to find your parents. One time, I got lost in the jungle gym and couldn't get out. There are nets for the floor in the jungle gym, and I got stuck in them. In the end, my dad came up and got me . I finally got out of the jungle gym, and we went home. You should go to Hyper Space because it is so fun.

My Favorite Places By: Levi

Do you want to know where I'd like to visit? California, Ireland, Alaska, and Florida are my favorites. First, I like California because their food is so great. For instance, the hot dogs are the best because they have gooey cheese and bacon in the middle. Watching off a rocky cliff where the sun meets the water makes it even better when eating a nice hot dog. My second favorite place is Ireland. Ireland is known for leprechauns. A leprechaun is a little man that tricks people and loves gold. People from Ireland invented bowling. My third favorite place to go is Florida because I'd like to watch the Florida Gators football team. Water skiing with my friends would be fun. I want to deep sea fish and catch a big tuna. Lastly, Alaska is a good place for hunting big grizzly bears and fishing for trout. Dog sledding is a real sport. They have eight dogs to pull the rider. I like it a lot. Those are a few places I'd like to go. Maybe you would like to try them out, too!

Places I'd Like to Visit By: Coltin

There are a lot of place to visit, such as New York, Wave Tek, Florida, and Pennsylvania. My favoirte place is Florida because that is where the rest of my family is. Another reason is I would love to go to Disney World. I have never been there before , and I wonder what it's like. My mom, Kelli, said "We could go to the beach." Also, there is Wave Tek pool. I like the water slide, but you might like something else. The first thing I always do is ride the water slide. Then, I go ride in the inner tubes. In the meanwhile, I also like the waves. They are really big, too. Then there is New York. My sister went to New York City with her school and saw the Statue of Liberty. She said it is really, really big, and she brought some pictures home with her. The store she went to was awesome! She even bought me a shirt. Pennsylvania, I think, is beautiful because the trees are so pretty. The caverns are excellent, too. They have underground caves. The pictures are really good. The stores are nice, too. I like them. There are a lot of place to visit, but you can only visit one place at a time!

Wishes and Dreams By: Brittany

Do you want to know what I wish could happen? First, I want to own all computer websites. The first one I want to own is Webkinzs. It's really exciting and unbareable. The second one I wish to own is Myepets.com. It has games to play and earns points to feed your pet. The third one I wish I could own is Miniclip. It is a virtual game like Webkinz and Myepets. The next thing I wish could happen is to be the president. I would own all the money and gold in the world and working people would get more money. I would also live in the White House. That would be my favorite thing to do! My room would be made out of gold, and it would be really shiny. Then I wish I could be on TV. I would have my own TV show called "My Life Is Better Than Yours." I would invite my friends on it named Hannah, Emily, Becky, and Eden. We would have the best times of our lives. I also wish I could have the biggest pool in the world and not a little pool because you can't do that much in a small pool. In a big pool, you can do a whole bunch of flips. In a small pool you can do flips, but not as much. They're both still fun. I would have a bunch of rafts and swimming toys to play and relax with. I would have a water park in my pool that is only open to me, my friends, and the people I know. Those are the things I wish could happen. If it does, I'll be crying tears of joy.

I Wish I Was Rich By: Emily

Have you ever wished you were very rich? I have, and I'm going to tell you what I wished would happen. I wished that I had 100 billion dollars stored in one room with four sections in it. Each section would have 50 pound locks on each door. I also would have so much money they had to make a new dollar bill after me, and it had my face on it. In fact, I named a store after myself. I would also own the biggest ice cream store in the world. My store would have a lot of different flavors like strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, and butter pecan. My store would have a lot of customers. They would give my store good reviews. They would love my store's toppings. They would love vanilla and sprinkles more than chocolate and jelly beans. I would have a huge shopping spree. I would buy jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, and tank tops. There are many different food stores like Subway and Long John Silvers. I would like to have a mansion. I would have the biggest hot tub and the biggest pool in it. I also would have gold walls and floors. My mother would have the biggest garden in the world. I would have mirrors on the walls, too. I get most of my money from the biggest water park in the world. This is what I wished for. What would you wish for?

My Best Birthday By: Katelyn

My best birthday was last December 7th, and it was at Valley Worlds of Fun. It is a place where a person can go and ride rides and play games. It looks colorful inside and on the outside, too. Inside there are lots of games and even rides. The thing that I did was mostly games because the games are lots of fun. One game was lazer tag, and it was lots of fun. There was a ride that was so fun. It was called the Hamster Wheel, and it went upside down. The people that came were Hannah, Brianna, Madison, Mom, Dad, and both grandmas and papaws were all there at my outstanding party. I got lots of things, too. I got a Bratz doll from Brianna and a Polly car from Madison, and lots of things from my family. Opening gifts was exciting because you get lots of things. You can win tickets there, too, and this is how you get them. If you win a game, you get tickets. But when I was there, I got lots and lots of tickets. You can get one million tickets and even more. I got 437 tickets. I know that because there is a ticket machine and it tells you how many tickets you have. There are prizes that you can get with your tickets. I hope you will get a chance to go there and maybe have a party as good as mine.

Big Bear Lake By: Hannah

A fantastic place to go is Big Bear Lake because you can do everything there. You can swim, eat ice cream, go on water slides, go to the park, golf cart rides, play, and relax in the warm beach sand. The car ride there is about two hours. I always fall asleep on the couch in the motor home. When I wake up, we are at the sign that says Welcome to Big Bear Lake! It is so extravagent when you get there. If you take a big breath and smell the woods, you're there. Once I get there, I play in the treehouse. The treehouse is old with white paint peeling off, but it is still the best treehouse ever. There are a lot of things you can do in that treehouse even though it's old. I can play cooking up in the treehouse. It is very exciting. The food tastes so elegant. It's much better than any other restaurant. After a while, I look how high I am. The view is excellent. The treehouse is probably as high as a swing set. Then I play basketball. On the treehouse, we have a basketball hoop. I tell my brother, J.J., to give me the basketball, and I drop it into the hoop. I get it right in! I always like to play basketball in the treehouse. In the afternoon, we go to the little lake. The little lake is across from the water slide. The little lake is so amazing because it has a lake and sand and across from it is a water slide! We go to the little lake by golf carts. I always drive. Swimming is the best part because it is so refreshing. You always see other people. Then I go in the sand, but I hate when the sand sticks to my feet. So I go back into the water and come out, and it is stuck on my feet again. There is a water slide, too. The water slide is so amazing. If you are lucky, it might turn you around. I always lay down. But the last time, I fell and got hurt. I got cut up bad - very bad. I get to drive the golf cart, I get to drive it to the park, beach, and to get ice cream. I also get to drive it to the store. Then I go in the store and get what I need. I usually need stuff for smores. Then I drive back while holding it. I drive to the park, too. The park is always exciting. I drive around our camp site. There is a driveway around there. That's where I drive. Driving around with the kids is almost exciting, but not really. So do you want to go to Big Bear Lake or Myrtle Beach? I really believe Big Bear Lake is the better choice.

My Wacky Dog By: Alexis

My dog has done some wacky and weird things. The first thing my dog does when I walk through the door is that she licks me. You never want to get near her because she licks you everywhere! The weirdest thing my dog has licked is a cat. My dog can also do tricks. She can walk on her back legs for 20 seconds. My dog can jump through hoops, too. If you ever hold a bone in front of her, she will smile pretty. My dog eats a lot of weird things. Once she ate some red onions. Then one night, we were eating broccoli and cauliflower, and she started to lick it all up. Next, my dog snores when she is sleeping. She starts to chew something. She also barks at something or somebody. I really do think that she's just dreaming. For example, if I compare one of my old dogs with the one I have now, I would say that they're both nice. The thing that makes them different is that the dog I have now is very hyper. I like my dog because she's very active and cute with her little nose and her furry ears. My dog may be weird, but I still love her forever and always.

The Train Engine By: Evan

One Christmas morning, a boy got up to see what Santa left him. He opened up one present, then another, but the best present of all was a train engine. It had opening doors and windows, crew men, and sound. It was remote control. First, the boy drove the train all night to Scotland. Then, he got fuel and headed back. He played with the train every day. As the boy got older, he didn't play with it as much. He tried one day to start it. It never came on. Then, he went to a train emporium to get it fixed. When he got back, he played with all of his trains. He played with them often, about every other day. Then, the boy had a kid. When his kid got older, about ten years old, he passed his trains down to his son to enjoy. All of their family loved the trains from generation to generation. The trains got taken care of until they could not move. Then, they put them in a case to always remember.
