 By: Zachary Drolet Grade 4My story with Hunter on our vacation to Niagara Falls, NY, USA this past week.
In Niagara Falls State Park we went to the "Cave of the Winds" were the water came down on the rocks and sounded like crash, splash and whoosh. We were given a yellow poncho and a pair of green, blue, and white sandals to wear while walking on the red slippery steps with black gripping mats. There was a Hurricane Deck which I stepped onto along with the other brave people in my family. The water was so strong I could not open my eyes. Hunter enjoyed visiting the falls and seeingspectacular place. |

 Abby's Hunter Story:
I took Hunter on a trip around Boston. We saw the Frog Pond and the Massachusetts state house. We took a tour of the state house. During the tour, we saw the sacred cod. After the tour,it started raining,so we went to Burger King. When we saw the Make Way For Ducklings statue,it started pouring! There was thunder and lightning. We made our way to shelter. When we went back to the car to get umbrellas after the storm, I had to change my shirt! We went back to the statue later. Then, we took the subway and mostly walked to Old North Church. Then, we went to Mike's Pastry and got gelato (Jel-at-oh), Italian ice cream. Yummy! Then, we went to Quincy Market and saw a street preformer! He walked on a ldder, dropped a lemon into a cup down below telling Max or Matt that "it looks like you are strangling it". "It" being Daniel,
the street preformer's dog, which was a wig. Spinning a pillow on a pole in his mouth while juggling three flowers on a ladder and saying " you can just use the stuff on the ground., and holding a black, large bag while saying "when the hat is ful, I have this bag, that is about as big as my dreams, well actually my dreams are much bigger, and not as dark. We each payed him .35. Then we walked around Quincy Market, got on the subway, went back, walked back to the parking garage and left.
After seeing the Make Way for Ducklings statue, we rode on a swan boat in the public garden. We saw ducks and swans. We went past the little island from the book, Make Way for Ducklings. We even saw three cute little ducklings! :)

When it was time to leave I put my flip flops on, walked in the water (with my shoes on) and headed to the car and went home.
This summer Hunter and I went to Me & My Gal Girl Scouts camp. Hunter and the chefís were the only boys there because it was a camp for girl scouts and their moms, aunts or grandmotherís.

Tiziana and Tizia, Grade 3 We went to Lake Compounce in Connecticut. Husky had a great time on all the rides. We went on a very fast roller coaster, and Husky almost flew off! But we got a tight grip on him. He didn't want to get on any other fast rides after that one because he was scared he would fall off again. We enjoyed the bumper cars, and the tea cups which made Husky very dizzy. We enjoyed the many water attractions in the water park, where we spend most of our time because it was a very hot day.

  The Joseph boys took Hunter the the North Attleboro
World War I Memorial PArk and Zoo. The World War One Memorial in North Attleboro is a beautiful park to bring the family. There are several secluded picnic areas and a diverse petting zoo set in the center. There are quite a few varieties of birds on display, pure bred hens, a peacock and varieties of pheasants which seem too colorful to be real. Another area has a leash of deer. The animals are friendly, as long as they think you might have some carrots to offer. For more fun, next to the zoo is the child habitrail, a tremendous slide, sand play area and a pretty nice playground to run around in. I would schedule an afternoon to visit. Hunter liked it!!! |
On Sunday, June 27, 2010, Hunter went to the Rhode Island Air Show with my family. Here are pictures of him near some of the Air Force Planes, inside one of the "hot rod" cars on display...the car looks like Bumble Bee from Transformers, and Hunter also got to sit in a miniature aircraft with me.

We road in the caboose and we saw light up animals, mini houses and a playground. After that we went on a lot of rides like the scrambler, the rocket ride, twirl-a-world, Dumbo, Drummer boy, ferris wheel and the carousel. We went on all those rides in one day! Then we went to the playground and we saw a real life bulldozer and a steamroller. After that we went to a food place but Hunter and my mom wanted salad so we had to walk all the way up to the carousel and went into the other food place. I got a hamburger with a soda and Hunter had the same thing but with a salad and a big Cookie. We ate under a tree because it was sunny and there wasn't any place to sit inside. That's why we ate outside.Then
Hunter and my brother went on an airplane ride. Then they handed us a piece of paper and you didn't have to fill it out but if you did you would get a prize. You would need to go to four places which are Sir Topham Hatt, the story tent, the train room and last you needed to go to the play area. After that you needed to go to the gift shop to redeem your prize. The prize was a camera with Thomas photos inside. Then we got a train set. Last we went on the Drummer boy ride and Hunter and I felt sick on the way home. |
