A Day At The Zoo

Today me, Felecia, and my mom went to the zoo with the G- family (except Brother Andy) , Joyce, and Sierra. I haven't been to the zoo in years.

We saw lions, tigers, flamingos, parrots, swans, ducks, lots of monkeys including orangutans and chimpanzees, leopards, hyenas, lemurs, giraffes, kangaroos and ostriches.

In the reptile house, we saw snakes, frogs, toads, lizards, salamanders and even a crocodile. I wish my dad could have seen them.

My favorite animals were the lions and the tigers. We even saw a baby tiger. It was cute. It was really neat to see such harmful animals. LOL!

When we were done at the zoo, we had a picnic in the park across the street from the zoo. My mom, sister, and I ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pretzels, baby carrots, plums, and chocolate cake. My best friend Eva and I took a walk around the park. It was an awesome day!

My First Day Of School

This morning I worked in the garden with mom. We dug holes and filled them with water and then put in the plants and put more dirt around them. Then we watered them again.

We put mulch around them. Mulch helps to keep the moisture in and helps keep weeds from growing.

To take care of them and help them bloom we will need to water them every day and pull out any weeds that have grown around them.

Today is the first day of school. I am in 9th grade. I am excited to be in high school. My subjects are math, English 1, Earth Science, PE, and Home Ec. I am hoping to take voice lessons too.

I am glad to be back in school. As a matter of fact, I have been ready to start school. And I finally did. YAY!
