To Canada!

Hi, I'm Eva. 

For Spring break, my family's going to Canada!  We are starting in New York.  We just saw Niagara Falls.  It's very, very wet.  I'm standing probably 20 feet away and I'm still soaked!

You can ride a boat called Maid of the Mist.  We couldn't get on it, it was closed for the year.

We stopped by the gift shop instead.  I get a piggy bank and my brother gets a stuffed animal. 

---

We are in Montreal now.  We've been driving for probably six hours.  I'm not sure, maybe more!

And we finally get to the hotel.  We're on the third floor of a three floor building.  There's a jacuzzi in the bathroom!  Me and my brother take turns in the jacuzzi.  There's a button on the side that says whirlpool!  I'm covered in bubbles!!  It may be fun over water, but under water your eyes get really, really hot.  Trust me.  They do.

---

We finally get to Quebec.  In Quebec it's fun.  We stop by the hotel.  It looks like a castle!  Our room is really high.  It would be fun but bad for me, I'm scared of heights.  We go around shopping.  My favorite part is when we stop by a store called Cool as a Moose!  They have footie pajamas.  On the bum they say Moose Caboose.

Me and my brother get our pictures drawn by a cartoon artist.  I think it's really cool!!  Our heads are huge!!!

As soon as we get back to the hotel, it's raining.  The next day we go out and eat crepes for breakfast!  Mine was Nutella!  Mmmmmmm.

Back to Montreal! 

In Montreal we stay at a new hotel.  They have some really cool mirrors.  I write a letter to my grandparents. 

We stop at Ikea.  I get a really cool mirror.  And truthfully, I'm going to try to get more things like that at the Ikea in the USA!

To Toronto!

When we get to Toronto, dad says he has a surprise for us the next day.  So we sleep for a couple of hours and wake up the next day. 

We start out by shopping, but later on we go to...

Medieval Times!!!

Medieval Times is a place where actors joust with real horses and birds.  It's an hour before the joust really begins.  So we go and look around.  I get a tiara with long flowers.  My brother gets a sword and shield. 

The next day we head back to the USA.  We take a nap and hit the road!

Home sweet home!  Hallelujah!

Hugs and kisses, love Eva!

Did You Know?

Hi, I'm Eva!

I'm going to talk about 'do you knows'.

Did you know a dog's weakness?  I do.  Chocolate.

And did you know that the Bible is totally true?  It is!

Did you know what 3 things you can recycle?  I do.  Cans, paper and plastic.

Did you know you should turn off the lights?

Did you know what a mouse's greatest fear is?  I do.  A cat!

Do you know what an elephant's greatest fear is?  I do.  This might sound a little funny.  But a mouse!

Hugs and kisses

Love,
Eva

Recycle - Part 1 & 2

Recycle - Part I

Hi!  I'm Eva, as you yourself know.  Recycling is good for the environment.  My family is doing everything that we can do to help the environment.  Even mother nature recycles.  Did you know that's how we get our sandy beaches?  It's true, according to my science book.  So I'm going to trust that it's true. 

I'm sticking with my gut.

Recycle - Part II

It's me again, Eva as you yourself know.  Now where did I drop off?  Oh yeah, recycling is good for your environment.  It also helps to compost.  It works everywhere!

Hugs and kisses,
Eva

A Letter

To make a letter you have to have a reason. You can do a party letter. I'll demonstrate here.

Date: 8/1/2012

You can know the time, the date, who it's for and where to find it. You can make a thank you letter, too.

Love,

Eva

France

Part 1

Hello. You remember me. I am traveling to France. It will be beautiful. My dad speaks French. I'm learning French, too. It is a fun language. I want to go to France and speak to people, even though I don't know how to say some things. I like to do plays with my brother in French to practice.

Part 2

We are going to France. There will be many things to do. I want to see Notre Dame. It is a big church. I want to see the Eiffel Tower. I want to go to the top, but I don't want to get too close to the edge. I'm afraid of heights.

Part 3

They will have cheese and shops. I know I will like it. Going to the shops, I hope to buy a few things. I want to go the the Metro. It is a subway. Not the lunch place, though. What will it be like in the Metro? I think it will be a super, super fast train. I've never been on one before.

Part 4

I hope you will go. And to the children there, au revoir. Good bye.

Mrs. Claus

A story by Eva:

Mrs. Claus

When I woke up, I looked out the window and saw Mrs. Claus. And next to her lay 8 little reindeer. Then I heard someone say, "Now, Dasher, now Donner and 'Vicsin'."

And they flew away and I never saw them again.

The end, my friend. Love, Eva
