AUTHORED BY KIDS

My 10 favorite places in the Evergreen State......Samantha
    Well, being a girl is so tough my weakness is making decisions especially with  shoes.  I mean how hard is it  to make one pair of shoes that are cute, match everything, and that everyone will LOVE !!     
Well, maybe that is pretty impossible.  Anyhow, even though it was tough me Samantha Kunz thought up
my ten top favorite things about  Seattle,W.A. Well, here it is:

10. Well there are a lot of awesome museums in Seattle so my tenth favorite would be : MUSEUMS

9. Recently I have been into drawing, so I love seeing the sculptures that you can see including the huge but, yet so amazing Space Needle. So my ninth would be : (symbols) 

 8.  This was so hard but, I absolutely love the scenery that is out here.  Its breathtaking what our wonderful God created . I mean wow all he had to do was say it and then there are people like me who are dumb enough to try to bake cookies in the microwave. So my eighth favorite would be : SCENERY


7. I also really like Pike's place Market it is so cool there are so many cute little stores even though some of them you should stay out of. ( Its a bummer how people take a nice place and make well lets just say not very nice) But staying away from those it really is a awesome place to get gifts and make beautiful memories that last forever. So saying that my seventh favorite place is :PIKES PLACE                      


6.  So I know almost everyone reading this was waiting for this so here it is . Starbucks is AWESOME !!!! Its a lot busier than back in  ILLINOIS but its Starbucks right ?  You especially should go to the first one ever it looks just like a warehouse. So ( I'm getting so bored of saying this ugh here it goes. ) my sixth favorite thing is : Starbucks


5.  I really like our recreational center (ymca) we haven't gone yet but it looks awesome. We are actually going tomorrow we are going swimming with some friends !!! So my fifth favorite thing is : REC CENTER


4.  I also like going to the Puget Sound it is beautiful sitting watching the ferries going across the clear blue water . ( I give up ) fourth favorite is : PUGET SOUND


3. The dog park is awesome but gidget ruined it for us and now we can't go it overlooked the Puget Sound so that the dogs could play in the water. But, Gidget being so smart and all kept getting out so she got grounded, which in other words means until she quits we are grounded too. But it was so cool because we got to collect seashells.
 Third favorite thing: DOG PARK


2. Our church is cool too, we've made friends and our pastor is super nice. This Saturday we have an activity with the junior high youth group they have it split up. We get to go to the mall and do a scavenger hunt I can't wait !!!! Second favorite is: CHURCH


1. My last but not least and favorite part about Washington is that my wonderful family God has given me is with me and I wouldn't of made it this far without them .  Thanx guys!!!


And so those are my ten favorite things about the Evergreen State.
love you much,

P.S. I wanted to say thank you to my friends at school and many others for encouraging me I miss and love you...


SLUGS & BUGS & OTHER SUCH STUFF


Greetings, from rainy Seattle.  My favorite thing is the Seattle Bug Zoo!!!!!!  There is a Giant Bird Eating Tarantula, Water Beatles, Walking Sticks, Black Widows, etc.    Outside, I found 2 slugs, a weird wasp fly thingymajiger, and little ant-like things.

I also did my first Fly Comic Strip in COLOR!!!!  There are lots of cats in the neighborhood.  When I take Gidget on a walk she wants to chase every cat she sees.  


We also went to the Seattle Aquarium.  The sea cucumbers look like Giant slugs. : - )

ALIENS IN SAMANTHA'S DREAM

Ahhhhhh!  I woke up sweat dripping down my face.   I was not sure if I would ever recover from what I had just dreamt about.  In my dream, Mom, Elaina and I were the lucky three girls who got to travel to Seattle in an airplane!!!!! I've been in an airplane twice in my life, but this would be my third time [insert spooky music] . Seth, Dad, and Meghan had left the night before to drive all the way to Seattle. But, we would be going to the airport around 11:30.  Since Dad had sold his truck last Sunday they took the van so we hitchhiked to the bus station (not really). When we got to the airport we went thru the metal detector and so on. We finally got to our seats  everything was normal until we took off.  As we got higher the weirder people became and by weirder I mean scarier. Elaina had fallen asleep and boy was I glad last thing me and Mom wanted was Elaina getting scared. At first I wondered why the others had turned into my worst nightmare but I hadn't   changed at all. Millions of thoughts swirling thru my head what has happened ,was the pilot still able to direct the plane. I had to admit I was pretty scared. The creepy old monster that looked like guts were spurting out of him was licking his lips as if he were about to eat us. He unbuckled his seatbelt and stood up on his chair he said something in another language but not something nice, not something welcoming, but something unpleasant. As he pointed to us three he cheered and started to begin an uproar. I stood up and ran to the cockpit I had hoped the pilot was still ok. When I stared in he was sitting there unfortunately he was not normal he was an alien from Planet Quad City 903. He looked just like a cow and dog mixed together.
But,he could still talk in english it was jibber jabber I guess . Worse than that he wasn't even directing the plane he was plotting were to drop bombs out of the sky at. When he turned around and saw me there he thru me out of the plane ahhhhhh.  Five minutes later I saw bombs wailing past me since obviously they weight way more than me. I was trying to fly out of the way even though that was not happening any time soon.  Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the bombs were now going of all around me I was screaming  then it all happened I blacked out what from Ill never know.
And that was my nightmare
