Going Skiing on the Top of Liberty Mountain

        Imagine, you were standing on the top of a huge hill... What would you do? I was that person and I skied down the hill. I had to get on a very long lift, go to the top of the mountain and ski on a black diamond obstacle course.  

     The lift I was going on was the called the Alpine lift. I went on it once so I know what it feels like to be on the lift. You usually have to wait in a long line to get on the lift unless it's night time. When it your turn to go you have to lean on this pad. Moments later the pad moves aside and you ski onto a conveyor belt, then a chair comes and picks you up. I think it is the easiest lift to get on because you just have to lean. When you get on the lift it is super long but the speed is really fast. There's a stop a the middle which I call the obstacle course. You have to get off quick or you will have to ski to the top. If you look on the ground when your almost at the top you will see no snow below you. When it's time to get of the lift I have to lean forward a little bit so my skis can touch the ground. 

      When your at the top of the whole entire mountain you can ski on a bunch of different trails. Some of them are cliffs, while others are just a slope that is very steep. On some trails even take you to the back of the mountain addressed the "South Pole." The lifts behind the mountain are very bumpy. They shake in midair so it is uncomfortable. I always go on the blue or green trails on the top of the mountain so I don't fall as much as I do on the double black diamond ones. If you go down a trail called Dipsy Doodle you can see other kids snow tubing.

      If you stop in the middle of the lift you will go to the obstacle course. There are jumps, planks and other obstacles that you can ski on. Once I accidentally hit the side of a jump and flipped over. I went on a plank but I fell off because it was too thin for my skis. When I tried to do a jump, I landed falling. People crashed onto me so I had to move away. I don't think I will try that thing again!

     I got to do a bunch of things is one trip. Going on a long lift,skiing on the top of the mountain and going on a obstacle course. What a great day!!!

Chinese New Year Party (one week after)

            One week after the Chinese new year we had another party. It was at my friend Michael's house.They lived in Great Falls,VA. We jumped on a trampoline, played Dragonvale and watched TV.

        When I got to Michael's house we went down stairs and waited for another Michael to come. We made this game called popcorn. One person has to curl up into a ball and the others jump on the trampoline trying to make the "popcorn" open up. We played that for a long time until we got tired of jumping.

        Michael went upstairs and got his iPad so we could play with it. His iPad was very boring except for one game.... Dragonvale. He showed us his park then I asked him if I could show him my park. He said yes and I showed them my park. When we switched it back something bad happened and he had to start all over again. He cried for a long time and I got him to level 8 in five minutes. He thanked me and we closed the iPad and watched TV.

       When we were watching TV we saw TUFF Puppy, Fairly Odd Parents and Planet Sheen. Nobody liked Planet Sheen because it was to crazy and weird. We all liked Fairly Odd Parents but I already saw the shows twice. Whenever TUFF Puppy came up I watched some of it and went to got bounce on the trampoline. We watched TV until 11 o'clock because everybody had to leave.

       When I got home it was 12 o'clock! What a long and fun party!  

           

Chinese New Year Party (2013)

          On the night before the Chinese new year my family and I went to my friend's house for a party. We had a war with Nerf guns,played Minecraft and partied with androids. 

          When I got to my friend's house there was a huge war between seven 1st-2nd graders vs. one 6th grader. I helped the 6th grader by shooting the smaller kids with a long strike. Then the 6th grader (Alex) and I went upstairs and hid for a long time. When the smaller kids found us I shot every kid and we won the war.

          Moments later we were all ether playing with an iPod, a smartphone or a tablet. Everybody was playing a game called Subway Surfers. There is a kid named Jake, he sprays graffiti on trains at a train station. An train inspector finds out and chases Jake. You control Jake by swiping. He can jump, roll and move from side to side. Some special power ups are a jet-pack and a hover-board. We got bored playing that game so I found a new game called Cartoon Wars Episode: Blade. You have a stick figure avatar that is stranded on a island. There were also monsters on the island. You can equip two swords and a gun to kill the monsters. One kid in 5th grade beat the game and unlocked most of the weapons.

          Then we watched a kid play Minecraft on his laptop. Every time he saw a zombie he would trap it, then he would start humping it. Every time he did that, all the kids would be laughing like crazy. Also he pushed all the slimes out of the world but they kept on following him so he got irritated. We couldn't help to laugh at him.

          That was a great party! We got to do a lot of things, like me impressing the parents with my piano skills. What a great event in my life!!!
