My mom's birthday

Today was my moms birthday so we all slept in really late. We got up and ate pancakes then did the dishes before starting my moms special birthday day. My mom decided that she wanted to go to the black sand beach because she didn't go to the black sand beach before when the rest of us did because she had work. We went off and drove about and hour before finally getting there. At the beach me and my sister played in the tide pools. Then we played on the rocks in the ocean. The waves would crash up against the rocks and we would get sprayed. We saw two turtles on the beach sitting really close to each other. We also saw a sea turtle in a big tide pool and when my brother put his toes in the water the sea turtle attempted to bite his toe, but he only got away with it once. After spending a long time at the black sand beach, we headed back towards Hilo. My dad, my brother, my sister and I went into two grocery stores looking for the perfect birthday cake. My mom originally wanted a pineapple upside down cake. We went in the first grocery store but they didn't have it so we got a guava cake. Then when we passed another grocery store my dad decided to check to see if they had a pineapple upside down cake. They didn't have it so we didn't get another cake. When we got home we got to eat cake and then we went to bed.

You have been greatlky missed in class. I am glad you are enjoying the warm sunshine adventurs that await you in Hawaii. We are covered in snow and rain, still. I look forward to reading the poetry and stories that I hope you are itching to write about your adventures. If I could I would assign them to you.

Enjoy the rest of your vacation! We all miss you.

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.
