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.

Martha’s Vineyard

It was a sunny morning. My family and I were going to Martha’s Vineyard. My dad drove us.

It took us 2 hours to get there. Jasmine and I wanted a movie on the way there. We arrived at the bike trail. I took my bike out. My dad and sister were first, then me and my mom. On the way to the ferry, we saw the ocean. The ocean was blue and green. It was sparkling. Finally I saw the ferry. It was a big boat; there could be cars on the boat. My family gave the man our bikes, and then we went to the top of the boat and sat down. I heard the load horn, I ate some food and we were there.

On the second day, in the morning, I woke up at 5:30 and got dressed. I went out with my mom and dad. I saw the light from the sun. The sky was blended with Pink, Purple, Red, Grey, Orange and Blue. I watched as the sun slowly came up. It was a circle and it was orange. It was pretty and bright. It was cold and windy. I had to hide with my mom.

On Friday, we went to a bike trail. My mom and I started riding; we had to ride on the road. It was a bumpy road. My teeth clattered. Finally the road was smooth, I tried to take one hand off and I did it. I was so excited. I pretended I had a cell phone. Daddy showed us he could take both hands off. My mom said she couldn’t do that. I told her I would try that. I took both hands off slowly and I did it. I did a lot of biking, we biked 20 miles. I was happy I learned a lot of tricks.

I had a good vacation. I loved biking. I wished I could ride more. It was fun biking. I never had so much fun.
