Going to Baltimore

           My family was going to Baltimore! We just came back from Saturday school so we had to hurry. My mom told us we were going to Baltimore because tickets to get into the National Aquarium were one dollar. So we got in the car. The drive to Baltimore took so long that I fell asleep. When we got to Baltimore I was fascinated by all the tall buildings. We tried to park outside but the parking lots were all full. So we had to go into an inside parking lot. The inside parking lot cost us ten dollars. It took us for a long time to find a spot in the parking lot. Most of the parking lots were full or reserved. I got of the car and found out that the streets and roads were dirtier than the roads where I live.

           We rushed to National Aquarium but a staff told us the they weren't selling any more tickets so we walked away from the National Aquarium. I found out that the water was polluted and you could fall in the water because it didn't have a fence around it. We saw a large boat and a shark submarine. We took some pictures with my camera around the boat. We didn't want to go inside the ships because it would cost money. We also saw some people renting paddle boats. I wanted to go on one but my dad said that he didn't have the strength to peddle the boat.We kept on walking and saw large boat that looked like a pirate ship. It had cannons and a bunch of ropes supporting the flags.

           We got tired of looking at boats so we decided to go home. But guess what! We weren't going home! We were going eat at this sushi buffet but my sister really wanted to eat McDonald's. We kept on arguing on where to eat. eventually we went to the buffet. First we went in the mall that was near the buffet. We got to the end of the mall and saw the buffet. My family went inside ate a lot of food . There was sushi, ribs, rice and much more food. After I finish my food at any buffet I start groaning because I eat too much. Finally we went home.

Bullying Isn't Good!

         Did you ever wonder what bullying looks like? Bullying is when someone does mean things to another person. The article "What is Bullying" says that bullying with electronics is called cyber bullying. People can send mean and rude messages with email, phones and Facebook. The article "Goodbye Bullies" says that bullying can be physical and verbal. They can hit and kick you or say mean things to you. The article "Don't Bully me" says that bullies can make you feel lonely by taking you or your friends away. Never be a bully.

      Want to stop bullying? You can stop bullying by telling every adult until one helps you. The article "What can I do if I am Being Bullied" says that you should avoid bullies and stay calm so the bully will be bored of teasing you. If you are getting teased, the article "Don't Bully me" says that you should ask the bully to repeat what they said because the bully won't have as much courage as the first time. Try to stop a bully when you see one!

My First Time on Ice

               I was at Rockville Ice Arena. First a large Zamboni ( a Zamboni is a large machine that puts ice on the rink. When I stepped on the ice, Whoa!  It was real slippery! I figured that some of the water that came from the ice wasn't completely dry. I almost fell but I held on to the wall just before I fell. I held the wall for a long time so I could get used to skate. After a while I fell. To get back up you have to put one leg up. Then you put all your body weight on that leg and stand up. Now I could go to the middle of the rink and come back to the wall. I fell a lot of times so don't feel bad if you keep on falling. I learned that you skate by putting all your weight on one leg and push with the other. After that you glide and wait until your skates start slowing down. After I got a hang of it, I started skating in a circle like most of the people in the rink did. I saw some of my sister's friends with their parents. Their parents started to help me on the ice because I wasn't really good at it. They told me first to walk. After that they told me that I should walk faster and glide. I did what they told me to do and I was pretty fast. Then the Zamboni had to put more ice on the rink again because the ice was melting away. When I got on the ice again it was slippery but I didn't fall down. I helped my sister when she fell down to get back up by holding my hand so she can reach it and hold it then she can stand. If you are going to crash into someone or something you can ether turn or use your brakes. If you want to use your brakes, you make sure your feet are not close to each other and put the front of your skate's blade next to the other so your feet will look like a "V''. If you choose to turn you turn your body around and change the direction of your skates. Also I did two tricks on the ice. One of them included a cone. you skate and glide over a cone. In the other one you might fall. You bend your knees and jump. I did those tricks for a long time and practice was over so I  went home. That was a great experience I will never forget!

Lego

            What are Legos? Legos are blocks that come in all different shapes and sizes. They can be used for: decorations, sculptures and toys. Every December the Lego company gives you a sneak peek at the new Legos that are coming next year. Some Legos can be big for younger kids and the smaller ones are for kids older than six. My favorite Lego sets are Lego Ninjago, Lego City and Lego Star Wars.

         Some Lego people are called minifigures. Some Lego people can be aliens and droids while others can be ordinary everyday people. In Lego Ninjago The most common minifigures are ninjas,skeletons and snakes. There are five ninjas. The fire ninja,the lighting ninja, the earth ninja,the ice ninja and the green ninja. The green ninja becomes the gold ninja who is the master of Spinjitsu. Spinjitsu is when a person starts to spin and becomes a tornado sooner or later.The ninjas fight the snakes and the skeletons because they want to take over the whole world and destroy it. The gold ninja defeats his father (the evil warlord) when the world is about to get crushed.

        Lego City has been my all time favorite since I first saw Legos. There are firefighters,police,coast guards and more. There are a group of elite police who are really good police but they go after a group of clever criminals so it is very hard to catch them. The coast guard save people from sharks who try to eat them. There is this coast guard set I have that has a big boat, a tower and a small raft. The coast guard find a surfer that is chased by a shark so the save the surfer and they had to abandon their raft. The firefighters put out fire  and rescue other people when they need help. Also there are sets like cargo and a train station. In cargo sets there are vehicles that can transfer packages that are large and heavy.

       Lego Star Wars sets are made from the movies. The some minifigures have different heads like Chewbacca, his head has a furry texture and is connected to his body. That is called a sandwich board minifigure. Also there are these weapons called Lightsabers, they are a stick surrounded by force in the movies but in Lego it is just a green,blue or red stick on special handle. Also there are a lot of helmets for the clone troopers for protections. Most of the guns are used by the the clones so they can help the Rebels or the Sith. Yoda is one of the most important Jedi. He is the wisest and trained many other Jedi. Some people have different Lightsaber hilts. One Sith has a curved hilt. Another one has very sharp hilts.

      Lego is a great toy for years one to sixteen years old. There are themes like Lego Ninjago, Lego City and Lego Star Wars. Go and get your Legos now!!
