feeling like home

Well, it has almost been 3 months since we got here and we were just getting set with activities and school and friends.  Now I think that I am much more confident with my French and if I had to go to school alone I could.  Any ways,  I still have my dance and my handball on Mondays and Fridays until six. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I now go to an after school program that helps me do my homework and it is until six too.  I am very glad my mom comes to pick me up and walks home with me.  Last weekend was Veteran's day in France so we got Friday off from school.  My mom and I went to a funny show at the theater in Crest and had a girl's night because Nathan slept over at a friend's house.  The next day my mom, my mom's friend Fatima, and I went on a walk.  When we went to pick up Nathan from her house she lent us all the Harry Potter movies 1-6.  The next day, we watched some Harry Potter.  The next day we went on a hunt for mushrooms on a big mountain.  We found lots of mushrooms. Well, that's what's happening in France right now! Au revoir!

vacation!!

Well, It has been a very long time since I wrote my last post so I have a lot to write.  Last week we had a vacation and we went to London!  It was my brothers birthday trip.  my grandparents rented a apartment for a week, and my aunt came too.  My favorite thing we did was probably the victoria and albert museum. It had lots of activities for kids.  It had this one big room and inside the room was a giant platform that kids could run on.  Then my second favorite thing was that one morning my aunt took me and my brother to kings cross station where we went to a special thing for platform 9 and 3/4 from Harry Potter.  My third favorite thing was the tower of london.  It was the home of william the conqueror.  He was the first king of england.  He built the tower of London to protect him so know one could hurt him.  In our apartment, me, my brother and my aunt shared a room.  The apartment was right next to a bus stop so we took the bus a lot.  When we came we took the train and when we came back to France we did the same.  When we came home we went to a very nice halloween party and my costume was the queen of hearts.  My brother was voldemort, he was very scary.  My aunt got our costumes in the us and gave them to us in London.  I had a very fun vacation and a very nice halloween. au revoir
