Orlando!!

Hi Everyone!
I have so much news!! My parents surprised me in December, and we went to Orlando! Here's how it happened:
   I was sleeping when my mom came in with a bag about 3:00 am. She woke me up and told me to get dressed in the the clothes that were in the bag. Then she left. I got the clothes on and went into the hall. After all my sisters were in the hall, my mom did our hair. Then we went down stairs. And to our surprise there was four suit cases! Our initials were on them! After breakfast, we got in the car and went to the airport where we met up with our grandparents! It seemed to take forever to get on the plane, but once we were on it the ride there seemed to take forever! :-P We went to Universal Studios, and we stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel!! Two of my favorite rides was The Incredible Hulk and Harry Potter: The Dragon Challenge!!! I also liked:

• The Spider Man Ride
• The Jurassic Park Rides
• Fear Fall
• THE FORBIDDEN JOURNEY!!!!!! (HP) (So cooool!)
• The Hippogryph! (HP)

We had a ton of fun at Universal! There was a pool with an awesome water slide
After four fun-filled days, on Christmas Eve we were packed up, ready to go home, thinking about setting up our Christmas tree. But when we were in the hired car, we noticed that we weren't headed toward the airport, but...............

DISNEY WORLD, ANIMAL KINGDOM!!!!!

 We stayed at the Animal Kingdom from Christmas Eve (24th) to the 27th! We had so much fun! Our favorite restaurant was The Tusker House. The food was great!! My favorite rides there were:

• Expedition Everest
• Hollywood Tower of Terror!!!
• Rockin' Roller Coaster!!! (Aerosmith!)
• Dinosaur
• Epcot Center Ride
• Mission to Mars
• Test Track

All of the parks and places I went during our stay were totally awesome, and I think that you should go to Disney World (or Disney Land) and Universal someday (soon!!;-))

Holiday Chains

Holiday Chains
Here is how to make these cool Holiday Chains. I made the chains shown here for Thanksgiving, but you can make yours however you want.

List of Tools Needed:

Tape

Scissors

Three Pieces of Colored Paper of your Choice

Step One:

Choose your paper. You will want to use colored construction paper, colors of the holiday. Find a smooth surface to work on.

Step Two:

Fold the pieces of paper, separately, accordion style.

Step Three:

Take one of the folded pieces of paper, and flatten it out. Cut along the creases until you have strips of the paper. Repeat with the other pieces

Step Four:

Decide on a pattern for the chain. Then, take the first strip and fold it into a circle. Take a piece of tape and put it on the overlap. Put the second color in the chain, make a circle, and put the tape on the overlap.

Step Five:

Repeat step four until you have used up all of the strips. This is my little sister with my finished chain!

Step Six:

Find a place to put it, and enjoy! Here are my chains!
