I like flowers.  We have a very pretty purple flower in our flower garden.  I love flowers!  I tried an experiment.  Pick some Queen Anne’s Lace and put it in food-colored water of any color.  In the morning, the Queen Anne’s Lace will be colored in the color you chose.

Hilton Head

I think you should go to Hilton Head.  They have a delicious ice cream shop.  You can see alligators if you stay at the place that I stayed at.  You can go swimming in the pool and the ocean.  When it was time to go back to the hotel, I jumped into the cold pool so Daddy couldn’t get me.  It was very fun!

Golf

My dad always takes me golfing, and I get a chocolate chip cookie.  I have my own golf club.  We ride a golf cart.  We throw M & M’s over the troll bridge into the pond.  It’s really fun.

Billings Farm

We went to Billings Farm.  We got to go to the movie theater and beat rugs, wash clothes, write on chalkboards, carry buckets of water with yokes on our shoulders, and play with old toys.  One toy was a board that you sit on and shake it.  We had a lot of fun.

Book Review: Cat and Mouse in a Haunted House

Cat and Mouse in a Haunted House

By Geronimo Stilton

This book is about a scaredy-mouse named Geronimo Stilton.  Geronimo Stilton is in a “haunted house.”  He sees a skeleton in the kitchen and freaks out.  He calls his sister Thea, and she comes to see the ghost that he saw.  Geronimo’s cousin Trap comes, and he brings Geronimo’s favorite nephew Benjamin.  They keep seeing more creepy stuff.

I liked this book because it was funny.  For example, when he jumped and his tail whacked his head.
