Today, I learned how to make a tie-dyed T-shirt.  It was fun.  We used dyes to make a pink and blue swirl pattern.  Afterward, we had to dry the shirt.  It took a long time.  When done, the tie-dyed shirt looked very beautiful.  It turned out to be very comfortable.

Today, I went to drink coconut juice out of a real coconut.  I found a black and blond colored shell before I went to get to the coconut juice.  I think it was a snail shell.  It looks very unusual.  The top was swirly and pointy.  I had a happy day.

Tonight, I am in Miami with the baby sitter.  Her name is Cecilia.  She is very prepared.  She brought her iPad, coloring books, and puzzles.  We watched Disney Channel on tv.  The program was not as goo as we thought, so we watched a movie on her iPad.  I learned a lesson from the Tinker Bell movie and that was to be yourself.  Cecilia was very nice.  I liked to spend my night with her.

Today, I went to Pennecamp State Park in Key Largo.  When we got there, we saw a big iguana on the side of the road, about the size of my leg.

I swam and saw jellyfish, fish, and lots of seaweed.  I also saw some coral.  I found a pretty shell in the water.  It was big and nice.  It still had the snail in it!

Today, I went to the Kennedy Space Center.  I like the small rocket capsule I could sit in.  The Kennedy Space Center also has the biggest rocket ship.  I felt very excited to see these real rockets that actually went to space.  I experienced a rocket launch with the space shuttle Atlantis ride.  All of these are fun.

I like Epcot.  Epcot is fun.  I like to learn about different countries and their cultures.  I watched Chinese performances.  I wish I could dance like the ballet dancer.  I love to ride Soarin’.  It makes me feel like am flying through California.  I like be in high above the water.  I saw Aladin at EPCOT and got a photo with him.  He was nice and funny.

Today, I went to Wild Florida.  There were lots of alligators.  I like going to see the alligator who was 3 month old.  I took photos with him. When I touched him, it felt bumpy on his back and soft on this belly.  I   felt his skin.  It felt cool.  We went to see a cockatoo.  He said his name was Clipper.  Clipper seemed sad when we left. I liked the air boat ride through the swamp.  It was fun.  I liked seeing the alligator sunning himself on the shore.

My family and I went to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.  Today, I watched the Lion King show.  I enjoyed the show.   I like the Lion King book, but they were different because the show didn’t have Nala, Rafiki, and Scar.  Simba and his friends were there:  the elephant, the giraffe, and the warthog.  They got together to celebrate the new king.

My day at Magic Kingdom was fun.  We first went to Thunder Mountain Railroad.  I liked going on the roller coaster.  After the ride was done, we went to the Pirates of the Caribbean.  It was a little scary.  I liked the ride on the boat.  I liked going to Fantasyland.  I saw all the princesses except Aurora.  While we were in Fantasyland, we went to go see Ariel.  I liked the music at Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid because I recognized “Kiss the Girl” which is a song that makes me happy.

I tried my dad’s sandwich at lunch.  It tasted good.  After that, we went to Tomorrowland Speedway.  I enjoyed driving the car with my mom.  after we went around and we were parking.  The guy put up two fingers and I thought it meant we could go another round, so we did.  After that, he put up three fingers, but the girl stopped us from driving again.  At night, the castle was lit up and beautiful.

I like thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the time to give thanks to the people you love. This thanksgiving we drove to my grandma’s house in Medford. We had a yummy thanksgiving dinner. My dad helped me make salad. He made turkey. We saw horses, sheep, and mini ponies at the neighbor’s property.  I rode my bike to see the horses next day. One horse rubbed his forehead on my cheek. I think he likes me. We also went to see my grandpa’s grave.  I hope he is well and happy.  I am happy to go to see his grave even though he is no longer alive.  We went to a fun park later. I liked the high bar and low bar.
