Beautiful Barcelona

This week i went with my mom, grandmother and my aunt Louise [Lala] on fall break. We spent most of our time off in Barcelona.
While we were there we stayed at the Hotel Arts. it was a very nice hotel that was rated five star. There was a pool outside on the second floor a lounge on the thirty third floor and a exercise room on the 1st floor and a fancy spa way up on the top. They also had really good candies.

Also we went to the Sagrada Familia. At the sagrada familia we took pictures and went on a audio tour. There were lots of people and it was really crowded. 

We came back the next day and went up in the towers and it was really high up.

After that we had to walk down the stairs witch were so small and in a spiral. My mom told me that she went up in the towers before with my grandmother and my grandma fainted.  

There's Nan and LaLa they were speeding down the stairs ahead of us.  

 This is me taking a picture of mom taking a picture of me.




Can you see the pigeon sitting on top of the berries?

 This is the gate where you come out at the bottom of the stairs

I went swimming in the pool at the hotel two nights and the water was so cold!!!  The second time my mom made me take off my fitbit and then we left it somewhere by the pool and now it's lost.  I knew I should have just kept it on.

On Saturday we rode on that big bus with the part upstairs where you can sit outside.  It tells you about what you're seeing but in all different languages.  You're supposed to be able to get off and on all you want, but we mostly stayed on.  

I got to take some pictures with mom's good camera, and we saw this guy who looked like he was just floating.  How does he do that?

We also went on the cable car ride over the city. It was cool and quick. We were supposed to get off at the half-way turnaround, but we stayed on and rode all the way back. 

And I brought Aunt Bear's glasses with me so she could be here with us.

We saw a lot of things and they were really beautiful.

Pj Passout

Friday at school we had pajama party for elementary school. When I got on the bus a kid named jack told me that they switched the day to the 27th instead of the 17th. I said " turn the bus around!"  I almost passed out thinking about walking around school all day as the only one in pjs.  We couldn't turnaround and go back to my house so I looked on my iPod and told him that the 27th was a Monday and I knew that it was a Friday and also that we were off that day. I had to spend the whole bus drive listening to him telling us it was not pj day.

On Saturday we went to a big church. They played the organ and other instruments. It was really boring and they were so slow because they had to tune there insturments every song because it had to be      

" perfect ". But it was kind of cool.  

Also we went to visit a person who works with my mom summer castel. We could not go in because they were gone but it was kind of cool to look at it from the outside it was huge.  The guest house people drive thru to get to the castle is as big as my whole block.  Paul said he's going to invite us over so we can see the inside. 

Bowling

This past week me, my grandma and my aunt went bowling. I won one game and LaLa won one game. After that we ordered our food which took 30 minutes but it was really good.  Did you know they call it bowling stones here?

In school now we're studying the weather.  I have to do my first research project and Mrs. Holcroft gave us each our own research notebook.  I signed up to do Blizzards for my project.  Mom and I were trying to finish the research on the computer last night, but we got too tired.  I know a lot about blizzards now and even when the biggest blizzard was.  Do you know when it was?  The worst blizzard of all time was the 1967 Blizzard of the Midwest.

Mom was gone for 10 days and Nan and LaLa took care of me and Baci and Beau.  I got to sleep in Mom's bed while she was gone.  I went up and got ready for bed and when i was in there Nan would bring up Baci and Beau and put them in there with me to sleep.  They would try to sleep on my pillow and I had to fight them for it.

We're going to go to Barcelona in a couple of weeks and this will be our first trip here in Europe.  

Racing

This week I went to a party. It was a car race and I rode there with my friend Duco and my friend Charlie. At the party they served us pancakes and cake. We had a good time and played a lot.

In school this week, for the Recycling Team, Duco and I ran around the back of the school which made it faster and we were the first ones back.  Mom signed me up for Safety Patrol where we're supposed to walk the little kids to their classrooms in the mornings, but I still don't know where I'm supposed to go.  In math, the work is really easy and we're doing long division now.  I partnered with Aman because he's also good in math but he didn't know how to do it so I showed him how and then he got it.
