We did a lot of fun stuff like exploring the boat, eating food, and meeting characters. I did get sick on one of the days. I got a fever and felt sea sick, but besides getting sick we got to eat at 3 different places. They were called Tiana's Place, Tridents, and Animator's Palate. We met a lot of characters and saw a lot of fun shows! Our stop was at Cabo San Lucas and the trip was a 5 day 4 night cruise! This was my first cruise and the best ever!

Instead of celebrating it on a Wednesday, October 18th, we celebrated on the 15th. We had a birthday dinner at an amazing restaurant called Rockin Brews! The food was so delicious and I had so much fun! I got a few gifts and I loved everything I got! I got a lot of sketch books and drawing stuff! On my actual birthday, I did go to school, but I got a few gifts from my friends. My best friend gave me a turtle plushie and it was so cute! My 2 girl best friends gave me such cute stuff and I loved it so much!

My grandma passed away on September 6th 2023. This was her first birthday without her being here with us. We celebrated her birthday at Olive Garden because that is where she liked to eat. We brought a photo of her when she turned 61 and brought a box we made with photos of her. We all started crying because this was a birthday celebrated without her. It was a very special day even though she isn’t here with us. I knew in my heart that she was there with us just not in person. My grandma always celebrated our birthdays, and now it was her turn.

  • We went on a very cold camping trip in June. We went camping to a place called Mammoth Lakes. We go camping every year in August, but this year we went in June. It was very cold and we weren’t used to it being that cold. Since we always go in August with the nicer weather, June is definitely not the right month to go in. Besides it being cold, it was an amazing trip! We went on a hike to the snowy mountains and found a pile of snow! I would still rather camp in August. I love camping with my family and making s'mores.

We were a huge group and rented a house to stay in. We went to the Grand Canyon which was a 3 hour drive to and from the house. It took us about 5-6 hours to get there with stops. We rented 2 cars which were vans since we were a huge family. We ate good food and had a lot of fun. We stopped at a beautiful park that had a big lake and koi fish. It was a little cold and windy but besides the weather, we had a great time!
