This summer we went to the waterpark, Hawaiian Falls, lots of times. Sometimes we invite Riley, Bailee, Brooks, Tucker, and Tracey (Sparks) of course over with us. Some of the rides I did were the "Pineapple Express". It's like this thing where you lay on this mat and hold on to a handle bar. Then, when the lifeguard says "go", you push yourself off, and you go down in a race. Whoever goes furthest, wins. Another thing I like, which is not really a ride, is the lazy river. There are floaties, where you can go down the river, and you can go out whenever you want. Something that Tracey was scared of, was not so scary for me. It's called the Torpedo. The floor drops out from under your feet, and you fall down this big slide. Those are some of the rides I like the best at Hawaiian Falls.
I got a quilt for Christmas that you have to put together. I'm still working on it. It's crazy, because I've been working on it a lot, and I'm still not finished. It has all sorts of colors you can use. You have to knot them together. The colors are: purple, blue, pink, green, orange, and yellow.
Whenever my mom takes care of great grandma, we get to sleep over at her house. And when we sell our house, we allowed to stay with grandma for the rest of the year, until we go to Holland. We're gonna do some redecorating of her kitchen and her living room. My mom says I can help with the wallpaper, but she says I have to ask grandma if I'm allowed to do the painting. Most of the time grandma isn't home, but we get to see her in the morning and at nighttime when we have dinner. She goes to work, that's why she can't be there in the daytime.
Great grandma has a sewing machine. Sometimes she helps me help make quilts, because she makes quilts for her great grandchildren. She made one for me too
I go to poetry class once a week at the library. But not all the time, because sometimes my mom doesn't want to drive to Allen. Some of the books mom picked out from the library this week, were kind of long, but I think they're going to be very interesting. Some of my favorite books are: "just Grace", "Diary of a wimpy kid", "the dragon tree", "the witches".
Dag lieve Winter,
ReplyDeleteOmdat je al nederlands aan het leren bent, kan ik je nu wel in het nederlands schrijven. Als je niet alles begrijpt kan mama je wel helpen.
Ik vind het leuk dat je zo'n lange blog hebt geschreven. En je schrijft ook zo goed! Je bent een slimme meid!
Ik ben blij dat je een leuke zomer hebt en vaak bij grandma kan logeren. Ik kijk ernaar uit om je vaker te zien als jullie in Nederland wonen. Fijn hè, dat het huis bijna verkocht is?
Ik hoop dat je verder nog een fijne vakantie zult hebben en geef je een dikke knuffel.
Liefs van Oma
Hi Winter!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great diary entry. You are a great writer! I think your mom is pretty smart to have you do Rosetta Stone before wii. How fun that you get to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's house for so long.
Love,
Aunt Angela
I love you winter!
