A trip to the Honeypot Hill Farm

On a sunny hot Saturday, we were going pear picking. We went into the pear orchard. There was a tall ladder leaning on a tree. My Data told me to climb up the ladder and pick the big pears. I climbed one step at a time. It felt wobbly and I was afraid. I went up one more step. My dad told me to pick the pear above me. I reached one hand out while my other hand grabbed onto the ladder. I twisted the pear until it came off. I picked a few more and came off of the ladder.

Finally when our bags were full, we went to the maze. It was a hedge maze. We all got an apple stamp and we went in. My sister was in the front. It was one way first but then we came to a turn. We could choose left of right. We turned left and finally got to the center. We found our way out.

Next we went to the tunnel maze. I wasn’t happy that parents weren’t allowed. I took off my shoes. I crawled inside with my sister close behind. It was dark. I was frightened so I crawled as fast as I could across. The next room had pretty lights. I told my sister to come. We followed the lights. More people came and they were sisters too. So we all helped each other get out. It was like the lights were guiding us. We finally got out. We got a balloon. I had so much fun. I wished I could go again. I had enough fun for today so we went home.

Olympic Closing Ceremony

I was excited because today there’s the Olympic closing ceremony. But there would be no more Olympic games to watch for four years. I was unhappy they do it every 4 years. The next time Olympic comes would be in London.

I still had to wait until 8:00 in the evening for the closing ceremony. I waited and waited. I didn’t wait long but it felt like a long time. Finally it came. I ran to the couch and sat. I saw that people were wearing red cloths lined in acircles one inside another. There were 5 circles. When I looked closer I saw they were hitting drums. Outside of their circle were more people wearing yellow dresses. They had bells lined around their hips. They were outside. They were dancing. Together they looked like flower. The inside looked like nectar and the outside made a shape of petals around the nectar. When the light reflected onto then, it looked like the petals were golden. It looked pretty. I was glad I didn’t miss this.

Then people riding things like bicycles but it was like a glowing wheel with pedals that the people could ride on. The wheel was bigger than a person and there were a lot of wheels on the field.. They pedaled out. Then there were people jumped around the flowers. I didn’t know how they jumped so high but then I saw antennas on their feet. It looked like they were bouncing on a trampoline. It looked fun.

Next there was stairs. There was atheletes walking up the stairs. I couldn’t figure out why there were stairs. Mom told me that they pretended to leave on a air plane, except there was no air plane. They did that because they were pretending to leave. They looked back at the torch. The fire slowly shimmered away.

Then I saw a big tower with people hanging onto it. They bended down row by row like a wave but since they wore orange cloths it looked more like a flame in the fire. There were pieces of silk cloth laying on the ground. They were long and wide. The string pulled the silk cloth up around the tower until it looked like a flower. Some people climbed down and some climbed up. I was surprised they climbed so quickly so I called them ants.

After that a bus came. There was a lady that had a sign that said bus stop. When the bus drove there, I saw people dancing. The bus stopped. The top of the bus opened. I never knew it was a double deck bus. When the door opened I saw girl holding a soccer ball. The girl gave the ball to a famous soccer player named Beckham. He kicked it out and an athlete caught it. The bus was from London because the next Olympic game will be held there.

I liked the closing ceremony, but I liked the opening ceremony better because it was more exciting.
