I found a cool natural wonder called Laurel Caverns. It is 16,000 feet long and 46 stories below the mountain top. It is Pennsylvania’s largest cave. It has rough walls and sandy floors. You can go on lighted tours through the cave that takes about an hour.

Of course I have to tell you all about Hershey Park. Hershey Park is located in Hershey, PA. It was built my Milton S. Hershey. It opened on May 30, 1906 and over the years they just keep building it up bigger and bigger. The first roller coaster was built in 1923. Hershey Park now has 13 rollercoasters, 15 water attractions, 26 kiddie rides, a Zoo of America and of course Hershey Chocolate Town! My two favorite rollercoasters are the Sooper Dooper Looper and The Fun House. The Fun House is inside and it is pitch black and glow and the dark!!

There is a lot of history in Pennsylvania! The Constitution of the United States, The Declaration of Independence and The Gettysburg Address were all written in Pennsylvania. The Constitution was written in 1787 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The Constitution is the set of rules we live by. It is the highest law. It belongs to the United States. It belongs to all Americans. It shows us how the government works.

What kind of dreamer am I…..

I am a building type of dreamer. I like to build puzzles, Legos, Magnatiles, stacking cars, laying out my dinosaur figures and anything else I can build with I do it!! I also like to ride my bike! I like to go really fast down my driveway!!  This Summer I can’t wait to go on car rides and explore new adventures with my family. I cannot wait to jump in my new pool and relax on the float!!  Of course, I also can’t wait to eat lots of ICECREAM!!!

If you could have any zoo animal as a pet, which would you choose? Why?

I would want a giraffe. It is the tallest of all land animals.  I would be sure to always feed it. It would be fun watching them eat. Giraffes have really long tongues. I would let it run around and go on visits to the zoo. My pet giraffe’s named would be Joey. I watched a video on Animal Planet and found out there are only 1,800 giraffes left in the wild 🙁 I learned giraffes are not the smartest animal and are hard to be trained but I would try really hard. I might start with one but then I would end up with at least four. I love giraffes!

 

Would you rather go to an amusement park or a water park?

I would rather go to an amusement park. I like amusement parks because they are cool. I like rides that go fast. My favorite rides to go on are roller coasters. The best roller coaster I have even been on was the Bear Ride at Canobie Lake. I always like the Super Dooper Looper at Hershey Park. I can go on that ride over and over again. It has one loop that you go upside down on. One time my Pa came on and he did not know it went upside down. When the ride was over he looked at me and said “I am not doing that again!” It was soooooo funny! His grey hair was all messy!!!  I really want to go to Six Flags New England. They have really fun looking roller coasters!! Looks at this one called the Superman!!

I read Me and My Cat

The book was about Nicholas and his cat, Leonardo, switching bodies because a witch cast a spell on them. Nicholas at first thought it was fun to be a cat but then realized when he was outside it was hard being a cat because other cats fought with him and a dog chased him. His mom called the Doctor because Nicholas was acting strange and when he went to bed the witch came back and said “she had the wrong house” and she removed the spell from them. When he woke up everything was back to normal. When he went to school that day his teacher must have gotten the spell because he was acting like a cat.
