Hello Everyone!!

Hello Room 10!!! The weather has been nice here in  America but today it was spitting a bit. We are still in LA but tommorow we are going to Las Vegas. So far we have been to Disney Land, Califournia Adventure Land, San Deigo Zoo, Sea World, Universal Studios and Knottsberry Farm. I have to say that my favourite theme park was Knottsberry Farm because it had all the extreme/fun rides!! We have been shopping quite a bit and we mostley go to Downtown Disney. We have had a tour of Hollywood where we went to the Walk of fame, Hollywood sign, Farmers market and Rodeo Drive. We picked up a rental car the other day and its SUPER freaky driving with my dad because they drive on the other side of the road here. Ill try and give you an update of Las Vegas soon. Until then Happy Easter!!

The next day even more birds sat down to sing to Pog. Pog's best friend Puss-Tat ran down and scared the birds away. Pog was sad but then he got over it. Puss-Tat and Pog played, night came and Puss-Tat went home.The next day Pog was waiting for the birdies, but they never came every day for 13 days he waited but they never came. On the 15th day the pink bird came to sing, Pog was so happy! The bird went away for 12 minutes and came back with all his birdie friends Pog felt so great that he joined in with the birds. I recommend this book for year 3 to year 8.
