The Renaissance Festival

I went to the Renaissance Festival last weekend and I had a very good time. There's fencing there, and they have a strength test, and they have a maze. You have to try to get to the tippy top and slide. And they even have real swords for sale. I saw one that was $76.
They had real live jousting and they had a King and Queen too. And they had a Junior Joust for kids. I split a roasted turkey leg with my Nannie. And I got my picture taken on a fake horse.

And they had real ponies there that you could ride. And they had bows and arrows and wooden swords that you could buy, and they had a tea room. And they had fire juggling . There were all sorts of rides too.

Alexander and the terrible horrible no good very bad day

Alexander and the terrible horrible no good very bad day is about Alexander, and he has a very very very bad day. He went to the shoe store, and he asked for blue shoes with red stripes but the clerk said that they didn't have any, so he had to get plain white ones. In the morning when he woke up he accidentally tripped on his skateboard and he went to sleep with gum in his mouth and got gum in his hair and he accidentally dropped his sweater in the sink while it was still running.

Lots of bad things happened to him that day. And he wanted to move away to Australia that day. But his Mom said bad things still happen, even in Australia.
