The Summer Palace

Hello Mrs. Anderson's class and others!

I went to the Summer Palace where we rented a boat and I was captain. I also got an ice cream bar and mama did, too! The Summer Palace was an emperor and empress's place. The boats were motorized, paddle boats and silly rowboats. I got a motorboat. Cixi (Suh- SHEE) had money for the Chinese Navy, but she spent it on herself. She bought a marble boat. Cixi was a fine empress but a little selfish.
Today we are going to the Great Wall of China with some other families from our adoption agency. We got two days in Beijing but they will get only one.
Tomorrow I meet my baby sister, Maryn!!!!!

In Japan

Hello, fellow readers! I am in Tokyo, Japan. I am going to spend four days in Japan, then I'm going to go to China. I flew United Airlines. This is me with the plane. I got a window seat, coach class. For those who do not know, first/business class is premium. The upper deck is like double first class. The pilots and co-pilots fly in the upper part. I flew upper deck when my mom and dad adopted me. We had some United miles, but we paid for our hotel for them. Maryn (baby sister) will fly to America in Coach Class. We will be able to board first because we will have Maryn. The rule about that is if you have a child two years or under,you may board early with First Class.

Horseland News Update

Today I got to Springfield!!! It takes time and patience. The next town is Puerto Villa, Yorkshire and Shetland's Classic. Messenger Girl is super FUN. Get an account on horseland.com and then click games and click Messenger Girl. So cool huh? I like Messenger Girl. Try it.

The Horseland Games

Horseland.com is a free virtual world for horses and kids. There are even unicorns there. You can go there to ride horses in the pretend world, chat with friends by messages, read community forums, and communicate with other people in the real world. AND you can play games! The games are Messenger Girl, Appaloosa, Last Straw, Race Camp, Jumping Mad ,Pastures, and A Mazing Garden.My favorite is Messenger Girl. I play it by using the arrow keys: left, right and forward. You can jump over stuff. You try to get to Bartow, Springfield, Puerto Villa, and some others. I can only get to Bartow. The time you have leftover from getting to Bartow will be added to the amount of time you have to get to Springfield. I recommend that you try Jumping Mad; it's the easiest.

My Wonderful Family and Pets

My family is Verlaine and Andy. Verlaine is my mom and Andy is my dad. I'm the youngest until mei mei comes home. "Mei mei" means little sister in Chinese. I am only seven. My family is the best family I could ever have. I'm so glad they adopted me.

Moving on to my cats: my cats are Toulouse, Blacky Wacky, Starlight and Olaf. Let's talk about how we got Toulouse. My mom and dad said I could have a kitty and we went to the animal shelter. I looked at every single cat. I saw a cage with cats that looked like Toulouse. His brothers and sisters were wild, but he wasn't. He's a good kitty.

Next is Blacky Wacky. She is a girl cat. I don't know the story of how we got her because she was here when I was adopted. She is a good kitty.

The next cat is Starlight. Here is the story of how we got her: my mom and I went out for a walk on our driveway. And then we heard a cry ("Meow!") from the forest by our house. My mom rescued her and we brought her up to the house and she had some milk. And she was our kitty.

The last cat is Olaf. I don't know the story of him because he's the oldest cat; he was here when I was adopted.

The cats, Mom and Dad are a good family.

Happy New Year to all my Visitors!
