The sun and the moon

The Sun and the Moon
By Amelia Staats

"Fast asleep" the moon calls out
Go to bed don't yell or shout
Run So fast inside your dreams
If you don't you'll surely scream

Sleep until the mourning rays
When your in a spinning daze
"Come get up" cries out the sun
The day had just yet begun

You've been sleeping all the night
Wake up I say! It's nice and bright
Feel the breeze it's all awake
Take a look at the sparkeling lake

Dawn has come look at the stars
Watch the planets, up so far
"Go to sleep" calls out the moon
The sun will wake you up so soon.

Sunny Spring Days

Sunny Spring Days
by Amelia Staats

Sunshine streams through my window
Lightly shines on my clothes
Sparkling rays that dance on my wall
Feeling the heat on my toes

Miraculous, splendid sensation
As warm as a scorching fire
Like swirling in a sunny frenzy
Or rollin in a golden spiral

Delightfully, staring at the sunlit lake
And holding the sun in my hand
Brightly the sunlight curls around
Awakening our beautiful land.

Notre Dame

Today we visited notre dame. Notre Dame is a gothic cathedral in Paris. Once we got to Notre Dame we had to stand in a large line. it took about 15 minutes until w actually got inside. Right away we started to climb the 400 steps to the top of the church. We climbed and climbed and climbed and pretty soon we got to the first level. it was a pretty good view but the top was much better. Once we got to the top we had a spectacular view. Not as good as the Eiffle tower, which you could see, but still a view of the river and below Notre Dame. Inside the church the priest was preaching and there were candles lit everywhere. We walked around and looked at statues like the sculpture of Joan of arc. Once we left we headed on looking forward to the rest of the day.

The Patisserie

Today after we got back from are big museum walk my brother, sister, and i went to the Patisserie to get dinner and dessert that night. We walked around the corner towards a little shop that was down the street from our apartment. they had decorated treats like pie with the fruit in beautiful designs and they had treats that looked like they were a big glob of whip cream. We ended up getting one tiny pizza and a bunch of little pieces of pizza. For dessert we got to pieces of berry pie and 2 pieces of apircot pie, also an apple pie. The pie looked so pretty you didn't want to eat them to destroy the designs. they tasted just as good as they looked. when we got back we feasted on pie and pizza.
