2. It was the best holiday ever because I spent it with my whole family. In New Zealand I found bugs with my friends Isabel and Ava. I really liked my holiday, thank you mom and dad!

3. I really liked watching the Tampa Bay hockey game with my Uncle Scott and my cousin too. This game was the longest game that I watched in the USA. My holiday was happy because I saw everyone in my family.

4. It was my first time to go to Singapore with my mom and my dad. I enjoyed the trip and it was fun! In the Singapore zoo I played with a dog with my friend Maya. I was very happy. Thank you for taking me to Singapore!

5. On my holiday, I went to the beach with my family. I touched 5 fish with my sister and we swam in the sea. My favorite part was going to see the sunset because I like the color of the sunset.

6. I went to Thailand for the Christmas holiday with my mom and dad, my brother, and just me. I didn’t know how to draw the other stuff so I drew the airplane but I know my favorite part about Thailand is a cool room. It was like a space room with skateboard ramps and a PS2. At the hotel, there was a waterslide and two pools. Thank you mom and dad for taking me there! I had a lot of fun

7. My favorite place to go for the holidays is Siquijor. I like it there because there was a beach to find shells in. In the picture I was with my sister finding shells. I want mom and dad to take me there again!

8. On my holiday I played football with my dad in the Philippines. My favorite part is kicking the ball with my dad. This made me feel good. Thank you!

9. On my holiday, my favorite memory was going to soccer with my brother and my brothers friends and my friends. My brother’s team won the game, it was 4 to 1. I scored only one goal. One time I remember getting hurt and when I did a free kick that’s when I got a goal. When I scored, my team was so happy. I fell on the ground and everyone was jumping on my back.

10. On my holiday, I went to the beach with my family. I swim there and I practice with my mom. I like spending time at the beach because there are rocks and A LOT of sand. When I go to the beach I feel happy.

11. My favorite memory of my holiday is going bowling with the other Girl Scouts.

12. IMy favorite holiday memory was opening Christmas presents. I got a flying helicopter and a car as well. It was so big! I really like them because the helicopter can fly and the car can drive but it needs batteries. I want to say thank you to my mom and dad!

13. My favorite holiday memory was going to Magicplanet there were video games there. There was also a bowling place. I played with my dad and I was very happy. There was a game where you can win real cellphone. I didn’t try it because I didn’t know how to play. And you can win a PSP. Mom and Dad I like going there, thank you for taking me there.

14. I remember going to buy a Christmas tree in New York. I like this because if you buy a tree, Santa will give you presents when it’s Christmas time. I got a stuffed animal, a webcam, and a DS. My sister got the same thing. My dad got shooting games but my mom got nothing. I think she got nothing because she didn’t ask for anything. I love you mom and dad!

16. On my holiday I went to the aquarium in Sydney. I liked it because there was a fancy purple fish. It was swimming around the tank and we saw a lot of them.
