The Zoo

Monday (Aug 22), we went to the zoo. We were there all day, from 9:45Am to 2:45Pm.
First we looked for a Geocache. It was a type of multi-cache. But instead of having to find little containers with coordinates to the next cache inside, we had to find statues and/or plaques and then answer questions to find a number (example: How many letters are in the first word in the first line?). The number we came up with would then be 1 of 5 numbers to finish the coordinates for the final cache. It was really hard finding the final cache because there were lots of people around (called muggles in the Geocaching world), But we found it.
After finding the cache we went back to the car and lunch. Then we got to go see the animals. We saw Egyptian geese (very funny looking), Butterflies, Monkeys, Elephants (we got to see the new exhibit they had for them), A rattlesnake, Giraffes, Ostriches, a Snow leopard, and Zebras. Then we went home because everyone was getting tired.

Conneaut Pa

On Friday, My Grandma came and picked up Devorah, Abby and Me to take us to Conneaut Pa. On the way down to Conneaut Pa we saw the Indians fireworks, and we stopped at a causeway to look at the stars, we could see a band of the milky way! We got to Mr. Dave's house at 11:45 at night!
The next morning we got up, ate breakfast and got dressed. Then we started setting up for Mr.Dave`s party. He was having a Las Vegas themed party, so we put up tables for Black jack, Poker, Craps and Roulette. We put chairs at the tables (for the games and for food). We put food out and we decorated. Then Devorah, Abby and Me went for a walk on the boardwalk. When we got back everyone was there (including the rest of the family). We ate and then around 4 o`clock we started playing the games. I played black jack the whole time. Then the whole family went for a walk on the boardwalk. When we got back we helped clean up and then everyone went to bed.
The next morning we finished cleaning, ate lunch and packed up. Then everyone exept me, Daniel and went home(from the family). Then we had fun, ate dinner, went to bed, got up in the morning and went home.
