Performance: Wicked

My dad and I went to see Wicked for my Birthday on May, 27, 2007. It was so amazing!!!!!! Awesome does not even explain it. My favorite part was when Elphaba dyfies gravity. When I only had the CD I thought "Defying Gravity" was the worst song, but after seeing the play, I think it's the BEST song.

On the way to see Wicked, we took the train from Naperville. It was like a mini vacation, just me and my DAD!

I give this performance a 5 star rating (5 out of 5 stars)

Field Trip: Sci-Tech Museum in Aurora

I think the Sci-Tech museum is a place where everyone should go. It has things from dinosaurs to electricity, bubbles to music. Not only did I have a good time but it would be a great experience for 4,5, and 6-year-olds.

One of my favorite experiments was watercolor. I wrote my name on a piece of paper and put it in a bottle-like-thing that had water as thick as an inch. We took it out about 30 minutes later and all that was left was lines of color.

I give this trip a 4 star rating. (4 out of 5)

Book: "Nancy Drew and the Secret of the Old Clock" by Carolyn Keene

In book 1 of this series, Nancy Drew tries to figure out who Josiah Crawley wanted his will to go to. She helped people along her way including a 6 year old girl who she kept from getting hit by a truck. She also helped two sisters.The first was a bad singer and Nancy helped her become a good one. The other sister was very poor and Nancy helped her pay some things. I think in the next book the sisters will help Nancy figure out a mystery.

I give this book a 5 star rating (5 out of 5).

Book: "The Twits" by Roald Dahl

"The Twits" is a very funny book you will not want to put down.The story is about a mean couple who like to play jokes on each other. One of my favorite parts is when the Twits thought they were upside-down.

I connected to the story when the Twits were being mean to each other because sometimes my brother and I are that way to each other.

I give this book a 5 star rating (5 out of 5).
