my first trip on a airplane by myself

          My first time riding on an air plane by myself was when I was going to

Georgia

in the summer to spend time with some family. When my mom had packed everything we needed. When she took me and my sister breyuana to the air port and told us that she was not coming I was mad. When we got on the air plane we had to be put on the air plane as unaccompanied miners. When the air plane was taking off I was ok but when we got half way there me and my sister start crying. when it got close to

Georgia

my ears start to pop so much I could not her for the rest of that day. But when we got there my god mother had came to get us. I called my mom and talked to her then me and my sister stopped crying .then I saw my dog named ace and I had fun. on the way back I always rid on the air plane with someone. one time some of my family was going on a airplane to go to my aunts wedding my mom was with me and my sister and we never cried but my little cousin john was crying cause it was his first time and his ears had kept on popping so he was crying a lot and my other aunt that was with us told us that we should chew gum or yawn.

Another place to go for the summer!

      So last time I told that Woodloch was the best place to go. Well now say that your mom and dad don't want to spend money or they don't want to go to mountains for the summer (I doubt that they don't want to go). But I thought of another place to go in the summer were in New York there are lots of these place's. Even some of them are near New Rochelle. Its also some times very cheep. What is this great place called? Well its called a beach (You maybe know this all reallied). And it is a great place to go for the summer. There also very close (well some of them). For some of you it might take you like a minute to go there. When others it may take a few minutes. But i don't think it will take someone like an hour to get to the beach (it depends on what beach you're going to).Its also another great place to because the sun is out! The sound of the waves are great. And the sand is warm and hot. Or its the place to get tan there (some times). 

 But now say your mom or dad is like my dad that doesn't go to the beach because he doesn't like the sand on the beach (I know reason not to go to the beach but hey  you can't always get what you want). Then do what my family dose go the lake! We (me and my family) go to the lake with our neighbors(My house is a two family house but still very big). If it wasn't for our neighbors we would have never gone to a lake for more than just watching ducks pass by or feed them. I don't know what lake we went to but i know it  wasn't in New York it was in other state. But the lake we went to was the best. Every time we go there we play games cook our food (we make good food to or we just buy stuff). And it took us from our house to the lake about an hour or less. And the water was cooled and thats good for hot day. Also the lake i went to had like a small piece of an beach  on it. They also had a volleyball court there(which I never played on). Also it is  another  great place for tanning (sometimes).

Well I hope your family goes to the beach or lake for the summer!

Woodloch the best place to go for summer!

    So summers coming up? Cool right? Unless your family has no place to go for summer. Then that makes your whole summer a bummer. But I know a place that’s perfect for your whole family summer to be a blast. The place is called Woodloch. I’ve been there every year seen I was in the 2nd grade. Once you go there for first time ever you have to go there again. The place is so good from: rooms, food, and employees. And seen its up in moutons nice friendly animals come and you can pet them. Don’t be scared I’ve done it before the animals won’t hurt you.

    Woodloch pines is a resort that teats you like your on heaven. It’s like heaven but on earth. The place is so beautiful. Its right up in the monitions of Pennsylvaniaor something like that I forgot and most of the time I’m asleep when were riding there. And it’s like summer up there almost all the time. When November comes it fells like fall just started. Then finally winter starts in December and ends in February. And in winter when the snow falls you can go siding down or skiing or even snowboarding. And if snow doesn’t fall they make there own snow! Isn’t that so cool! Once when I went there in February it didn’t snow so when we check in the lady at the check in said that seen there is no snow that they were going to make there own. So before dinner my sister and I went siding. It was so much fun going down. But I never went skiing or snowboarding in Woodloch. Maybe if you can go with your family you could go skiing or snowboarding, and then tell me how much fun was it.
   

 Now I have never went to Woodloch in the summer ( I bet it gets really hot up there!) but I have been to Woodloch in October. It was for my sisters 15 birthday. Let me tell something I FELT LIKE IT WAS SUMMER! I’m serous when we (me and my sister and her friends) went out the lake it was so hot. Good thing the water was cooled and not hot. So the outdoor pool is open it starts at 5 feet and goes up 8 feet I think. OH well when you go there(hope fully in summer) you can find out. But say you have a bother or sister who’s like smaller then 5 feet or to young for a big pool like that(the outdoor pool is huge!). But don’t be mad at them because you can’t go to the pool because thanks to Woodloch have the perfect pool for them a little kiddy pool. The pool’s water is about 2½ deep even my sister’s friends went to play in it and there all 15 and 16 years old. And if you don’t go in the summer or warm time in Woodloch you can use the indoor pool. But last I went there (last year) they didn’t have a indoor kiddy pool they starting to make it but it wasn’t done yet I don’t know if it would be done by now. But if you go in the summer then the indoor kiddy pool doesn’t matter for you or your family. Also if you go in the summer then that means more family games outside on a sunny day and every one’s having fun.

 

     Lets talk about the club at Woodloch um well its really big all the singers(that are employs at Woodloch) are like the best singers I’ve ever heard( I’m kidding there just really good). Also the club is used for magic shows and other great shows. You can play bingo, word games, and other really great games. One of my favorite games at Woodloch is the horse races. You bet on a horse and if you earn like 5 to more dollars then you betted. Like this one time I betted on horse for one dollar and then it won and I got back 7 dollars! Cool right? Oh then my next favorite game is jack pot bingo! The best type of bingo ever! You could win over $100 dollars!(sometimes only 25 but its sill a lot). I never could win that game. Any way if you want more information click on this link http://www.woodloch.com/ or if want to booke click on it.

 

Or if you want to see one of there great shows “Who’s on first place?” Click on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJa8QQ3XyeU you have to see it very funny.

 

I hope your family goes to Woodloch for the summer!

My top 4 Places to Go

1. Philippines♥

Every two to three years my family goes to the Philippines for vacation. We visit my grandmothers, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Every time we reach the Bacolod Airport my mom puts her hand over my brother and me to show my grandma how tall we had gotten. This is my favorite place to go because almost all of my family live their and I like to go see my favorite cousin, Shara, who is the same age as me.

2. Foxwoods☺

Foxwoods is located in Connecticut. My dad takes my mom, my brother, and me to stay at the hotel. Before we go to the hotel  we go to the Westbrook which is a shopping outlet. Usually before school starts we go to Westbrook and Foxwoods. My dad gives my mom 7 hours to shop for clothes for my brother and me. I love to go to the hotel and walk around the place. There is an arcade for the parents with kids, a lot of restaurants, and of course the casino for adults.

3. Florida

The first time I went to Florida was when I was nine years old. I went with my god-sister named Dana, her family, and my family. We got on the plane and in two hours we got there. We took a shuttle bus to a rental car company and rented a small red car. We had gotten to the small gated community where we were going to stay. it was funny how it was raining and we could not find the small townhouse we were staying in. We tried to put our key in every door until we found the right one. 

Once we got settled into the place we had to pick a room. The youngest siblings got to flip a coin to see who gets the master bedroom. I, being the youngest, got to pick and I picked heads. My parents and I got the biggest bedroom, my brother and Dana's brother shared a room, and Dana shared a room with her parents. The next day we went to Disneyland and the day before we left we went to Universal Studios. Actually, a couple of days before we left Dana's brother found a Game Boy and I found a pink bracelet.

4. My Great Aunt's House

My great aunt or Auntie Marina lives in Maplewood, New Jersey. She lives with her husband or my Tito Dan. She has two sons named Januel, who just got married, and Vincent, who is still in college. They have a great dane named Kato. Kato is a really good listener. One time he got out of the room where he was supposed to stay and went upstairs. I followed him and I said "Go downstairs" and he actually followed my directions. He is really sweet, but really big. I like to go to there basement because they have a big flat screen T.V. and a big surround system. One year we had surprised them. They didn't know we were coming. That was the first time I met Vincent and remembered him. A couple months later I had met Januel then found out he was engaged.
