Tougas Farm

On Friday my mom, grandma, sister and I went to Tougas Farm to pick blueberries. I couldn’t wait because this was my first time picking blueberries. We had to pick four pounds of blueberries to pay $12 for four people. The blueberries bushes were much bigger than I imagined, even though at first I thought blueberries grew on trees (!). At first, I didn’t see many blueberries. My mom wanted us to pick big, blue blueberries. There were no sweet blueberries though. We went farther down the aisle (or whatever you would call it) to find more blueberries. I didn’t see any bigger ones, but when I looked deeper into the bushes it was like blueberry world! There were SO many big and blue blueberries! I started picking immediately. I popped one in my mouth. Mm! It was sweet! I took one from my hand and ate it. I kept on eating until I realized that I was supposed to be PICKING blueberries, not EATING blueberries. But it was too late. I ate all of them from my hand! I picked, but it was hard not to eat. I picked a while, until the bucket was full. Then I went to my mom. I saw she had a bunch of huge blueberries. I took one and popped it in my mouth. She said, “Hey! Don’t eat my blueberries! Go pick your own.” I wasn’t listening though. That was a really sweet blueberry! I picked some and ate some. I picked some, and put some in the bucket. We had a really full bucket! I wondered if we had four pounds. ? Even if we didn’t, the blueberries would last a long time. I was getting hot and sweaty. My sister and I begged our mom to take us home. I was dying in the heat! She finally said OK. I found out that the blueberries were actually a little bit over seven pounds! Wow! That meant we did a lot of work. We got some peaches (unfortunately I am allergic to them). I picked a raspberry, but I didn’t really like it. We had a great lunch. I got a raspberry slushy. It was good!
We went to the Natick Mall. I had been dying to go here. I heard it was a very fancy mall. When I went in, I saw the typical stores you see at a mall. That wasn’t what I expected. But when we walked further, toward the newer part of the mall, it became close to what I expected. We went in a very fancy store called “Nieman Marcus”. It had really fancy clothes, not as expensive as I thought. I wouldn’t wear those to school though. I mostly saw adult clothes, dresses with a bunch of sequences. Flashy! We went out again. My mom and grandma sat down to have a rest. My sister and I found these really bouncy cushions near a waterfall. I saw pennies so I asked my mom for one. She gave me one. This was the first time I ever threw a penny into one of those waterfalls! Throwing it was fun, but after that I thought, why did I just waste a penny? I don’t know. My sister and I played a bit, until my sister started playing with the camera. She took pictures while sitting on the cushion. I sneaked behind her. It was fun! I gave her bunny ears, and followed her back. When she got back to my mom she asked, “Where is Christine?” I tried not to laugh, but I let out a sound. When she turned around, she caught me! I started to laugh. She was like, hey! It was really fun. The mall wasn’t as good as I expected, even though it was fun. I had a good day. I will remember going to the Natick but the blueberries will last long, so I don’t have to worry about remembering them!

Haverhill Swim Meet

今天我去游泳比赛。我游的是个人混合泳，蛙泳，蝶泳，和自由泳接力，我最喜欢蛙泳。我先游了个人混合泳。我今天游的最不喜欢这个了因为有仰泳。我知道我的仰泳不好，会慢，所以我的手很快。我仰泳最后怕头会撞到池边。但是我每次都会怕所以我没办法。我就慢了一秒。最后很累，但是我努力往前游了。出游泳池的时候，我的脚很酸和我在大喘气。我努力了所以我满意了。

下一个是蛙泳。我的教练叫我去游蛙泳了。蛙泳是我最喜欢的所以我很高兴。跳进水里快游错动作了。我发现了然后我改变了我的错误。我停下来，慢了一秒。还好，因为我第二，第一的人是我们组的。我下一个是蝶泳。我有很多朋友不喜欢蝶泳、但是我很喜欢蝶泳。我不喜欢游很长的距离都是蝶泳。蝶泳会很累的。我游得挺好呢。但是最后很累。 游完了还要游一个。

我最后要游的是个自由泳接力。我跳进水里我就开始努力游得快。我的手动的飞快。妈妈说我游的也很快。我们不是第一，但是我努力往前游得快就对我自己好。今天算游得快了，因为我进步了！
