Southwick Zoo

It was Patriots day. It was a nice day. It was a sunny day. I got to wear a t-shirt. But not skirts or shorts. I wore a monkey t-shirt. So did Jasmine. My family went to the Southwick zoo.

First I fed the dear corn. My dad fed a deer that was brown. Then the deer fell in love with my dad. It wouldn’t stop following my dad. It was chewing on my dads backpack. It kissed my dad on the legs. Finally the deer went away.

Then I saw a bad naughty monkey. It stared at us, and then showed us its peepee. It copied us. It stuck its tongue out. When it walks, the tail sticks straight up. It walked on all four legs. It uses its tail to help it climb.

When we were heading home, I saw a kangaroo woke up from its nap in the shade. It was jumping; it jumped on its tippy toes. It has long back legs. Its front legs aren’t moving. Its tail balanced when it jumps. The kangaroo can sit on its tail with its legs on the ground. It is the most energetic one. The other kangaroos were just digging or napping.

When we were just about to go through the gate, we saw the zookeeper. She was putting a scarlet macaw in a go-cart. She said its name was Vicky. It could say “hello”, and “good morning”. It said “hello” in a clear voice. Vicky liked to dance. It nodded its head when it danced.

Jasmine and I were tired. We went home. I ad fun, the animals were cute and funny.

Nashua river bike trail

It was Saturday in the afternoon. It was a nice warm day. Vivian and Jerry and my dad and I were going to Nashua river bike trail.

Jerry didn’t have training wheels, Vivian didn’t have any either. We started riding, bug Jerry’s pedals kept on falling off, so Jerry’s mom came. My dad went to get his tools, when he came back, he couldn’t fix it. So Jerry and Vivian went home.

Dad and I kept going. I fell when I stopped to cross the road. I didn’t cry. But it hurt. When I felt better, I started going faster. I saw my dad do tricks like both hands off the bike, standing on the bike with one foot and pedaling while standing.

I saw people selling food like water, and cookies and lemonade. I wanted the cookies and lemonade on the way back. We kept riding until finally we arrived at the ice cream shop. I ordered strawberry ice cream. When we finished, we started going back.

On the way back, I got a thorn stuck in my tire. I got a flat tire. My dad fixed part of it, then a man came, he had a pump and pumped the air in. then the bike was fixed and I started riding and was careful of the thorns.

My dad’s cell phone rang. He picked up the phone. After he was done talking, he told me to stop at the pond. I stopped; I took a picture of a beaver dam. My mom and little sister came. We took a rest. We started heading back. My mom and I arrived first, then my sister came. I was proud my sister rode 4 miles.

On the way home were all tired.
