On Monday, when dad left for the meeting, mom took my sister and me to the Audubon Aquarium of the
On Tuesday, we went shopping at the Riverwalk Mall and
On Wednesday, we rode the Natchez Steamboat, which was very expensive because lunch was served on the boat. My favorite part of the cruise was when we went in front of the paddle and were sprayed with water.
On Thursday, we went back to the Entergy IMAX theatre to watch a 3D movie called “Ocean’s Wonderland”. I liked this movie because the fish kept popping out of the screen. I thought it wasn’t as good as “Mysteries of Egypt”.
On Friday, we came back home via Bay St. Louis,
Once I read a book called "Say Cheese, Medusa", by Kate McMullan. This story starts when Hades' wife, Persephone, left for EArth so she could make the crops grow. She gave Hades a good-bye present, a wallet that can take up anything, no matter how big it is. One day,

Last week I made a website called "Hogwarts Online". This site is like a Harry Potter fansite where people can go to school and take classes. They can work at the Ministry of Magic, where they get paid wizard money, Galleons, Sichles, and Knuts.
Students can get sorted into the four Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff. They can go to Gringotts BAnk and sign up for a vault where they keep all their money. The also have a Student Inventory where the their purchased items are kept. They can go to wizarding villages: Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, where they can go to the Flourish and Blott's bookshop to buy books to read. They can visit the honeydukes sweetshop, where they can buy all sorts of wizarding candy, the Quality Quidditch Suppllies shop to buy broomsticks and Quidditch supplies, the Eeylop's Owl Emporium, where they can buy owls and all sorts of other pets, and lots of other shops.
Students can be on the Quidditch team and play against each other and the winner takes the Quidditch Cup. There are many places you can visit inside Hogwarts, including the Great Hall, the bathrooms, the Owlery, the library, Detention, and many other places.
Here is a description of what the layout of Hogwarts Online looks like: The background is black, and the ofrums are in shades of black and dark blues. At the very top, there is a sign in Harry Potter scar letters: "Hogwarts Online School of Wizardry and Witchcraft". Below that is a News Fader, where workds or pictures fade and others appear. Under that is where all the forums are. AT the bottom of the screen, there is a little box that displays the number of guests and users online, and the total nubmer of members. So far I have 18 members, not including myself. My goal is to rcruit as many members as another Hogwarts role play that has more than 500 members, but I know it would take me a long, long time before I get just 100 members. When school starts in August, I'll advertise Hogwarts, and hopefully I'll get more members.
Yesterday I read a book called "Zel", by Donna Jo Napoli. This book is about a girl named Zel. One day, she and her mother went to town to buy things to eat. While at the smithy, Zel met the Count's son, Konrad. Zel helped take a tick out of his horse's hear, so he told her that she could have a reward. zel chose a fertilized goose egg for her goose. When Konrad came back with the egg, Zel was gone. He gave the egg to the smith and told him to give it to Zel when she returned. She did.
Later, Zel's mother told her that Zel had an enemy who wanted to kill her. So Mother locked Zel up in a high tower and left. Everyday, Mother climbed up the tower by climbing up Zel's hair to give her food. This time was called "Mother's Hour".
One day, Konrad went to look for Zel, and he found her in the tower. He hid behind a bush and Zel's mother came. She chanted some words and Zel let down her hair. After Mother left, Konrad chanted the same words and she let her hair down again. Zeld told him about Mother locking her up and Konrad said the next time he came here, he would bring a dagger to cut her hair off, a peg to put out the wall for the hair to be tied to, and a mallet to push the peg into the wall.
When Mother came back, she found out that Konrad had come. She pulled out all Zel's hair and when he came back, he thought the hair was still on its owner, and when he came up the tower, Mother let the hair go and Konrad fell into a big bush of nettles. He got blind beacuse the thorns scratched his eyes. Konrad went searching for Zel because she had escaped.
After many years, he fould her, and her tears on his eyes made him see again. The got married and Zel's hair became long again.
