I went to the Tiki Tiki restaurant for my mom's birthday. It was special because it was decorated like Hawaii! First, I got fruit juice in a real pineapple cup. It was delicious Next, I tried a lot of Hawaiian food from the huge buffet. I liked the pulled pork, purple potatoes, and rice. Finally, there was a show with hula and fire dancers. It was so exciting! I was a little afraid of the fire dancers. I had a great time at the Tiki Tiki restaurant. I hope I can go there again!

Have you ever seen a boa constrictor? Like all snakes, boa constrictors are reptiles and are cold-blooded. Cold-blooded means they take on the temperatures of their surroundings. Boa constrictors are non-venomous. This means that they are not poisonous and must rely on other methods to kill and eat their prey. These snakes kill by constriction where they wrap their body around their prey and squeeze it until they die.

A long time ago, I was on the Titanic with my friend, Sydney. At the beginning, we checked out all of the restaurants on the ship. The ship was enormous and there was so much to see. Then, it was time to go to sleep. We went into our very small sleeping cabin and slept in what seemed like a miniature bunk bed. Wee-whoo, Wee-Whoo. Suddenly, in the middle of the night, alarms were blaring throughout the ship. The ship had hit an iceberg and was going to sink. Ahhh! Terrified, all of the passengers ran up the ship to get to a lifeboat. There were lots of people squeezed tight in life boats as we floated our way to safety. My night on the Titanic was terrifying, but I'm so glad it ended up okay!

When there is a problem, do you call the police? Police officers solve more problems than crime alone. The police ensure that people are protected. They keep people out of places they should not be. Cops help with car accidents. They direct traffic. They evacuate people when there are threats like dangerous storms. Cops make sure people are safe. Imagine problems we would have without cops.

Fall is the best time of year! Many things happen in the fall. To start, the air gets colder and the days get shorter. I love the cooler weather because I get to wear my sweaters and boots! In addition, it is such a beautiful time of year because the leaves turn many different colors and fall from the trees. When the leaves fall, it is fun to rake them in a pile and jump in them! Finally, my favorite part about fall is Halloween. Halloween is fun because you get to dress up and go Trick-or-Treating. What is your favorite time of year?
