Dad arrives in Maui and a poem

Finally, after 5 days my dad arrived in Maui. He had been gone at work and he had to meet us in Maui. When he got here we went to the books store and picked out a few books then we went to Polli's, a mexican restaurant. When we finally got back to the house we rested there for a little while before meeting some unfriendly neighborhood kids. After we rested we went to Baldwin beach to go swimming. We rode waves and swam out pretty deep with my dad while we floated over waves. My mom took pictures of the sunset over the mountain which turned out to be a Lunar eclipse. On the way home my mom and dad realized that the gas tank was running low and they had left their wallets at home. We ended up having just enough gas to get home and to the gas station. I also wrote a short poem called the Gecko.

Gecko

By Amelia Staats

I am a small lizard

stuck to the wall

I'm sticking on tight

so I will not fall

I'll hang from your ceiling

You'll cry out Wow!

what could it be

but a tiny gecko.

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.
