The Great Wolf Lodge
My favorite place to visit is the Great Wolf Lodge. I got to ride on a lot of colorful water slides. They were lots of fun! I heard kids laughing and water splashing. After playing, I went to the cafeteria. It was right around the corner. I smelled bacons, sausage and candy. They tasted so delicious! I felt so excited when I got there, and I was a little sad when I left. I love visiting the Great Wolf Lodge.
The Beach
I love going to the beach! There are so many fun things to do at the beach. In a warm place, it is always summer at the beach. In winter, it is fun to go to a hot tropical beach.
One day I went to the beach on a Disney trip. I went right toward the sand. The sand was very hot. I could feel the hot sand under my feet. I started building a sand castle. As I built the sand castle, I heard the waves of the sea swishing itself. So, I decided to go into the water. Me and my dad went in the water. I smelled something. “What did I smell?” I wondered. I smelled seaweed, I soon discovered. Yum! I started to get hungry. So, we went to a nearby food court and got some food. My mouth started to water when I saw the food. I started to eat. Yum! It was so delicious. Then I went back to the beach. I heard all the kids happily playing with each other. I went to them and asked them to play together. They said yes and we built sand castles and told jokes!
I hated it when I had to leave. But I knew I could come back again! I love the beach. How about you?
The Zoo
First I went to take a some thing I don’t now want it is called.
Next I went to see the monkeys.then I went to see the gigantic elephant.Then me and my little sister took the train all by our self.After that we saw other animals to. My favorite is the goat because you can brush them. At the end I got a snake toy that was
5$ then we went back home.
My School
I went to my school last semester. I love my school. My school is big. My school’s name is Cherry Tree Elementary. My favorite thing to do is writing workshop, because I like writing and reading. I went to Kindergarten at Cherry Tree Elementary. My kindergarten teacher was Mrs Conley and Mrs broad. There were five Kindergarten classes. I was so happy.
Children’s Museum
I went to Children’s Museum. I saw hundreds of games, games that you can play. I heard people talking about how they love Children’s Museum. I smelled french fries and hamburgers. I taste french fries, hamburger, and catch up. I felt happy.
Dalian
Last year, I went to Dalian, which is the hometown of my parents. In the morning, my Grandma 👵 took me to the market. We bought fresh fruits 🍌 , vegetables, and seafood 🦞 . I heard the drums banging because they wanted to celebrate 🎉 the new opening of the market. I also went to the pretty and cerulean ocean 🌊 . I heard the waves 🌊 and I played with the soft sand. In my Grandparents house 🏡 , we ate yogurt, dumplings 🥟 , and seafood. My Grandma 👵 made a comfy couch bed for me to sleep in during the night. It was fun to be at my Grandparents house 🏡 ! I wish to be there again.
I went to Morse lake and it’s a great spot for fishing and other fun stuff.
I was able to catch a lot of fishes there. Bluegill or sunfish are small fishes and they are easy to catch. They can be grey or spotted. They have slimy scales and skin and fight a bit furiously. I got poked by the spiky bone on the back of the fish. It hurts! There are also catfish, bass, and crappie, too. I even saw a snake! People are also boating, jet skiing, and swimming in the lake. Some boats are really loud. I think they scared the fish away! Grandma cooked some fishes. They taste good.
Morse lake is a fun place to go!
Indiana State Park
I visited many Indiana State parks. When I walked on trails, I saw a lot of green, like trees and bushes. I also saw beautiful wild flower. I heard birds singing, and cicadas crying loudly. I smelled fresh outdoor air with a lot of moisture. I also smelled the good smell of pine trees. I felt happy and relaxed when playing sand on beach and walking on trails.
The zoo
last year I went to the zoo with my mom and dad. I saw the lion,、dolphin show、tiger、monkey.I heard the bird singing.I tasted the french fries . I smelled the flowers. I felt the zoo is busy.
A trip to the beach.
It took 3 day’s to get to china but there was food and water on the plane.
One day we rented a car and went on a very long across sea bridge. and went to an island at the island there was a beach. The water was a little cold but the sand was hot and soft. I played in the sand and one time I fell head first into the sand. We went seashell picking there a lot of seashells. I liked hearing the waves at the beach. The sea very big and very blue.
I ate seaweed I liked it. And we went a store I saw live fish, a fish that looked like a stone, some sea snakes and lobsters . Then we had lunch that was almost all seafood I liked the sea weed the best.
it was fun . I loved it. I was a little sad when I left. I miss the beach because it makes me feel happy.

My favorite place that I visited is the Great Wall of China! The Great Wall is one of the seven wonders of the world. Most of the wall was built a long time ago.
Last summer, I went back to China with my family. We visited the Great Wall with my good friend -Pericles’s family on May 15th. That day we got up really early. I remember the air smelled so fresh in the early morning. For the first half way, we sat in the cable car! I looked out of the window, I saw the eagles flying around. When I looked down the window, everything looks so tiny. I felt like I was flying in the sky as well. After we got off the cable car, we were actually on the Great Wall! I looked around the entire Great Wall, it looks so long and curve, just like a dragon sleeping here. We climbing all the way to the highest part! I felt my legs sour, but more excited! On the way back, it is almost the moon, the sun is so hot. I felt so dry in my month. So mommy bought me and Pericles popsicles! It tasted sweeter than it is. We were keep on going back! Finally we made it and we became the Haohan!
I really had a lot fun when I visited the Great Wall. I will keep all my good memories from there. I wish I can visit there again.
A Trip to Turkey Run
