My Best Field Trip In The World!!!

Today was the best school day ever!!! I went on a field trip!!! Since I live in Boise, Idaho, I got to go to Boise's City Hall and the Basque Museum. I learned that the Basque people lived in this tiny little country between Spain and France. They started to live in Boise because of the jobs Boise offered. We went in a brick house that once belonged to a man named Cyrus Jacobs and his wife. The owners that lived in the house after the Jacob children had gotten married and moved out and the parents died of old age, the new owners had the house turned into a boarding house where whale hunters could spend their winter sleeping and eating meals. The teacher of the museum told us that they only had radios back then and so one of my classmates pushed this button and all of a sudden this radio station turned on and it was so CREEPY!!! The voice sounded all shaky and the sound effects were so...weird. We went to this place Fronton which had a huge gym room that they called the handball court. You used your hand and used metal balls and hit the ball against the wall. The teacher told us that after about an hour of playing handball your hands ached and burned. When her nephew played handball she said the father had to step on his hands because his hands were swelling like mad. My class used softer balls and tried it. My school teacher's son hit the ball against the wall really hard and kept calling the girls sissys because he and his friend thought we didn't hit the ball hard enough. Then my class ate lunch at the Julia Davis Park and played Soccer for about an hour or so. I don't want to give the details about the City Hall, but the main idea was that we went to the meeting room and sat in soft chairs and pretended we were in a meeting. OK, well, I guess I will tell the details. The girl who worked for the City Hall chose some students (Not me, though. Pooey) and told them to sit in even bigger and even squishier chairs. One of my classmates had to be the MAYOR!!! The students that didn't sit up there had to either vote that there should be more police cars or fire trucks. I voted for fire trucks. At the end of the voting, the council members and mayor made their decisions. 3 said fire trucks, 3 said police cars. If the council has a tie, the mayor gets to decide. Our fake mayor decided on police cars, so more police cars were to be made. (Not literally) It was the greatest field trip ever!!!

Daisy's Engagement, But Gets A Surprise


As my friend Courtney and I play on my trampoline with Cooper and Courtney's stuffed animal called a Webkinz named Daisy, this is Daisy and Cooper's date. Courtney and I make up a small play about these lovebirds. Cooper takes Daisy to his house in the forest (which is underneath the trampoline) for dinner. They eat Corn Dogs, Hot Dogs, Bamboo, and what dogs and pandas both like, Leaves & Dog Food, mixed together it is called "Leaf Kibble". "What's for dessert, my dear Cooper?" Daisy asks. "I call it, Daisy's Parfait! It is dedicated to you, my love." Cooper answers. One day as the lovebirds were walking in the forest, Cooper pulls out a black box. "Daisy, these couple days together have been wonderful. I have a question for you. Will you marry me, my dear oh dear Daisy? I love you so, and I hope we can be together forever. So, will you?" Cooper asks seriously. "Oh my sweetheart, how kind of you to ask. Of course I will marry you, my dear. I love you too." Daisy says and kisses Cooper smack on the lips. "I need to go to the grocery store now so we can live a healthy life." Cooper says. "Wait! Don't we need to look for a house?" Daisy asks. "We can live in my house." Cooper says. "You are not taking this seriously, dear! We have to pay for a wedding, pay for our bills and did you know that I might have children so we will have to pay for the baby's room!" Daisy yells. Cooper ignores Daisy and walks to the grocery store. Daisy follows close behind and kisses Cooper before he can get inside the grocery store. "Oh, I should take this seriously. I am sorry for ignoring you." Cooper smiled. The next day he and Daisy get married. The VERY next morning, Cooper uses his mouth and takes Daisy to the forbidden part of the forest. Cooper drops Daisy and walks home grumpily. "What are you doing? I can't even walk!!! Help me, Cooper! Please!" Daisy screams. "I always hated you." Cooper snorted. "You did? How could you?! You are a big fat meanie! I never want to see you again!" Daisy howls. Daisy gets up and finds a Tiger Webkinz. His name is Ryan and she marries him. They lived happily ever after. The End. I hope you enjoyed the story!

Build-A-Bear Ville

My newest obsession on the computer is called Build-A-Bear Ville. You can get rare items, talk with people, play games and earn these things called Bear Bils, which is the money you can use to buy things. You can add furry friends in real life onto the computer! Then you own a Cub Condo and so you can buy furniture for your condo. I love being on this website because it is really cool and the artwork is amazing! The places in the world are: Town Square, Neighborhood, Cub Condo Complex, Sportsplex, Bear University, Pawforming Arts Center, Furbulous Fashion District, Pawsitively Green Center, Paw Park, Friendship Forest, (THERE ARE MANY PARTS TO THE FRIENDSHIP FOREST) And Sunshine Shores beach. This world is full of excitement and surprises. I own a Cun Condo and owning 5 bears on there. I can type my own messages and have some rare things. The best part of the website are all the surprises that appear on it. There is a 12 year-old girl who thought of Build-A-Bear Workshop and has her own character on the website! Her name is Maxine Clark and visits often and gives you awesome presents! Once she gave me a Maxine Ski Hat and another time she gave me Bear Head Slippers. Slippers are BABV's (Build-A-Bear Ville) biggest obsession yet! The people who don't have slippers are begging for them from people who DO have the slippers. I'm one 0f the people who has bear slippers and everyone begs for them. There is a BABV blog on the website and people can write on it. One of the blogs is made by IzzyFluffed, a girl who laughs all the time and is really nice. She wrote: "Attention! Slippers are being begged for by people who did not see Maxine on Friday night on May 16th. These slippers are rare and fuzzy, you can get them only once in a while. Try to get more pairs of these slippers and give a few pairs to people who don't have slippers!" The end. She made a point. We all can have slippers by giving things to other people. Build-A-Bear Ville could be the website for you. See what you think. You type it: www.buildabearville.com and see what you think. Have fun on Build-A-Bear Ville!
