Diamond Head

My family and I climbed Diamond Head on our last day in Hawaii.
Diamond Head is an old volcano, and now a crater.
The climb was steep and very hot but I climbed it in about 25mins. There were many steps including a long tunnel.
At the top we could smell the ocean.
I enjoyed my vacation in Hawaii....I want to go again!!!

The Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon

Dad and I went to the beach, next to the beach is The Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon.
I made a bet with my father, that if I swam the lagoon I wouldn't have to go swimming lessons anymore at Ogawa pool.
The lagoon smells like bad fish .
Once my Dad swam the lagoon and a fish bit Dads toe . Do you think that fish have large brains?
I just want to know what are they thinking .
Well even though it smelt like fish and many fish were swimming in the lagoon, I swam lagoon all 66m.......well with my Dad!

Pearl Harbor

The picture is Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
The USS Arizona along with other battleships was bombed by the Japanese (Dec.'7th).
In 1941 when the Japanese attacked America all the battleships were tied up in port.
In the early morning, the Japanese bombed most of the ships .
All the ships were raised .
But just one wasn't.
Most of the men on the USS Arizona died that day.
So they just left the ship were it sunk with all the dead bodies inside. That is why it's called USS Arizona Memorial.

Boys are Dogs

I just read this really fantastic and fun book .
Annabelle a 6th grader, tells the story of going to a new school.
Annabelle's brand new school is very different to her old girls school .
The boys are always picking on Annabelle and her friends .
The boys are like wild dogs.
At home her new dog called is Pepper .
She called him Pepper because he looks like Pepper .
Pepper is always chewing on her toys and on her clothes too.
Annabelle's dog book is titled "How to train a dog."
The boys who are acting like dogs .
Can Annabelle train a boy the way you train a dog...........
