Market Day

There was a giant market day. It filled the town. Every street had a market, and up at the top part of the market there were horses.

Halloween

It was Halloween yesterday and we went trick or treating. Here in France some people don't believe in Halloween so you trick or treat at the stores instead of at the houses.

it was my birthday 2 days ago and we made a bunny cake.

The skating park

There is a skating park by the bike trail. There are tons of ramps because it is for skateboarding. We went roller blading there and I climbed the giant ramp. Sofie learned to roller blade and it was fun. At the end I took off my skates and climbed the ramps.

The Park

We found this park by the Abbaye. Super liked it. Today we found another park in ST. Gengoux which is a small village. It is medeival. We took the bus there today, and Beary came too. There was a Merry- go -Round, and two teeter-totters and a big slide. Sofie hurt her chin on the teeter-totter.

At The Parade

We went to the parade. It went through the farmer's market. It was the orange parade. Everyone threw confetti at each other. And me and Super and mom got it all over us.

In France

We are in France now. There is good bread here. Mom bought us little cats. And Sofie lost hers. They are really pretty.

In Cluny

We're in Cluny, France now, and we are staying at Tom and Caroline's house. We went to the Abbey which got blown up a long time ago and there is only a little of it left.

Tun Fun

Today we went to Tun Fun. Sofie actually smelled it out. It was an old subway underground and we weren't intending to go there but Sofie found it. There wasn't even a sign that it was an amusement park. But Sofie said, "I wanna go down there mama, I wanna go down there." So we went down there and it was actually really fun.

There was this show out on the street and this guy was doing fire tricks. He rolled fire all over his hands in a ball and he went through a tennis racket.

At the Zoo

We're in Amsterdam now. We went to the zoo and there were a bunch of nice animals. Sofie got splashed by a mean seal. We saw elephants and mom really liked them. This is a picture of a baby elephant.

we are going on this plane tonight at 10:30. We are flying to Amsterdam and then staying in the Amigo Hotel. Then we are taking a train to Cluny, France.

Apple picking

This is us picking apples at the farm.. Super Jim liked the yellow ones. We picked a ton of apples. We made three different pies. We gave one pie to mom that was made out of spelt flour. We gave one pie to Mac that didn't have any suger in it because he can't eat suger. We all shared the rest of them.

at the farm

We to a farm with Grandma Janet. They had apple cider and doughnut. We also went on a funny rocking horse that you didn 't have to pay for and it like the ones at a store but funner. WE also went to pick apples at the farm, and when we went home we made apple pie with them.

me and dad went canoeing

we went canoeing and first we gathered a bunch of oyesters d then we went to "''''bevis Brook. And then we found a lot of chewed up beaver sticks.

We just came back from Nova
Scotia. In Nova Scotia we went into a crystal cave. And we brought back a lot of crystals. And dad sailed from the house to Baddeck and we all ate lobster dinner but it took awhile because we had to go to two other restaurants before we found lobster because they were all out of lobster because it was Regatta week, the busiest week of the year.

Canada

We left Michigan and came to Baddeck, Nova Scotia. There's a bunch of jelly fish in the lake. Dad sailed from the plaister mines where we're staying to the town of Baddeck one day and back the next.

Sorry I haven't been writing lately because I've been having so much fun. We went to grandma Janet's house and we went swimming a lot and we went tubing behind the boat. We went fishing too. Sofie caught her first fish.

Yesterday on our way to Michigan, the airline lost my luggage. So I only have one dress. It's sort of weird, but Lynne likes it.

dad went fishing

Yesterday Nisha gave me a new doll and I named her Kelly. And me and Sofie played dolls in the pool. Sofie got one too. Dad went fishing with Jesse for the whole day. Lium's birthday is tomorrow. We made the pinata. I took pictures and we're going to decorate it with them.

my friends

These are some of my friends. That's Pearl on the left and Ella on the right. Ella has a magic wand and Pearl is making a funny face.

When we made the pinata yesterday, it fell apart, so we're going to make another one today. But this one is going to be a paper bag instead of papier mache.

My name is Anja. I am eight years old. I like to play games and swim a lot. I can play the guitar. My favorite vegetable is the artichoke. I like to write and do workbooks. I like to do my blog, but daddy always wants to watch TV when I do my blog.

I have a dad. He is thirty eight years old. He is very funny and embarrassing.

my mama's name is Shannon. She is thirty seven years old. My mama likes learning new things especially French and Chemistry.

anja

today we made a pinata and it broke. It was for Lium's birthday party. So we made a new one with bouncy balls in it. And mama bought me weird swim stuff to protect me from the sun because I'm taking medicine.

today Lina and Susan came to visit and we went swimming.

I have a sister. Her name is Sofie. She is four years old and she doesn't like slimy stuff. Today when we made the pinata, she didn't want to help because the glue was too sticky. And she has a big sweet tooth. She had chocolate for dinner instead of turkey burger.

My name is Anja. I am going traveling. First I'm going to Michigan to see my grandma.
