One Fine Day
It was a beautiful day outside, so I wondered
what I could do.

While I was there, we played outside in the
sprinkler.
First I went to my friend's house.
After that, we went
into her house and played Monopoly, our favorite
game.
After I left, I went to the swimming pool.
I met another friend, and we played Marco Polo.

Then I went to the deep end to go off
of the diving board..."cannonball!"

I was getting pretty tired, so
finally I went home.
Once I got there, I played a game of cards with
my mom.
To end my day, I took a nap.

I hope tomorrow will be just as
beautiful as today!

The HHE Carnival
On Saturday, I went to the HHE Carnival!

When I got there, I went to the Book Fair.
I bought three new books and one lovely purple
pencil.
I also saw my teacher at the cash register!

After I said goodbye to Ms. Jackson, I
left the Library and went to the HHE Cafeteria.
I was so hungry that I bought a hot dog, a soda,
and some nachos.
I had to share some of the nachos with my Dad
though, because he was hungry too.
Before the Carnival ended, I knew I needed to do
some of the Carnival Games.
I won a 2-liter of
Sprite at one station and a cake at the cake walk.
Then I tried to break
the board at the karate station, but I just ended
up with a headache.

I had a great time at the HHE
Carnival!
