CJGA (Children junior golf association)

Today, we went to Markham Green golf club for the CJGA championship. Dad was my golf caddie. We had to play 18 holes. When we were at the first hole we went to the staircase which leaded to the practice putting green. We practiced until my dad told me to go back. So they called my name and the people clapped their hands. And then when I hit the ball it went all the way to 170 yards. And I finished the hole with a 7. Freddy finished with a 6. Jacob was much worst.

Then we played the 2 hole. I got 2 penalty strokes for lost ball in the river. That hole was very long. Freddy’s score was better than me. And we went to the 3 hole. There was a creek in front of me. And it went in the ruff. I finished the par 3 hole with a 4. Freddy halved the hole with me. (Means that we ended up with same score). The next hole was hard. And there were some more holes that had creeks. Once, I was lucky. My swing was fast and the ball was low. It was about to fall in the river but it hit the rock on the side and bounced to safety. Weeeeew! What a close call. On the 9 hole I hit more than 100 yards and it went on the fairway. Freddy’s was on the rough. And jacob’s was even worse. He hit the ball and it went 0 yards and it flew right into the forest. He had to do the tee-off again because he lost the ball. This time he hit the ball into the rough but at least he didn’t lose more balls. He had already lose more than 10 balls. And I finished the hole pretty good.

In the end he lost more than 15 balls. When we were done we went back home and ate our lunch. It was fun. And I was in 14 place out of 17.

In the morning it was raining so we went to Dick’s Sporting goods and we saw a Junior Golf set and we tried my golf clubs in the golf net. I played my iron well and the driver was bad. (Dad told me that) And we didn’t buy it. Then, we went to a restaurant and ate many sushi and shrimp. I ate many pieces of shrimp. I also dipped the sushi in the soy sauce. I loved the sushi. It was very yummy. I ate until I was full.

Today, we went to six flags Amusement park. There were a lot of people. I think there were 20 thousand people there! The lines were very long and there were a lot of people in different stations. First, mom and I went on the flying chair. We went Wuop-pei-ddo-oooo on the flying chair. It was amazing it would send you flying in your chair crazy!!!!!!! Later, we got off and dad rode on the flying chair with me. We went crazy. My mom and dad took videos of us on the flying chair.

We told mom to wait for us in the food court. I played with dad on the Big Splash Boat 2 times later. When the cart went up, water went back down to the other side. Then, when we went down, water splashed everywhere. We were wet from head to toe. We went on this ride 2 times! We rode 2 times because it was fun. Then, we went back to the food court to find mom. We ate seaweed while mom ordered a basket full of French fries. When we were done lunch, we changed our swimming suits then went to the kids’ water park.

It was fun. We stayed there for a long time. I went on the water slide many times and had many big splashes. I played until dad told me to go to Hurricane Bay witch was better and more fun. Sometimes it had waves and I had to jump over the waves because I was too short. Then, someone drowned and the life guard dived into the water to save him. He saved him. We played a few more minutes. Next, we went to another kid’s water park. It was better than the first water park because it had a lot of water slides. I rode on them many times. I think in the end I went on 30 times any kind of water slides. And I usually lied down because it made you go faster and it made me think that it was more fun. Then, we left it because they blew the whistle many times and they closed the water park. Next, we went on the float 2 times with my dad. Later, he bumped into something and lost his sunglasses. Then, we went back in the kid’s water park the 2 time and it was fun. When we got out, it was already 4:00. Then, now my dad noticed he lost his sunglasses. Too bad, we didn’t find his sunglasses. We had a fun time at six flags amusement park. Then, we went to Bob Evans and we ordered 2 Spaghetti with meat sauce regulars. It was delicious. I had Ice tea also. When we got back to the hotel we took a bath and we watched Manchester united v all stars. It was 5-2. And Manchester united won!

Today we put mom to the mall and we drove to Magic Putting place. It was mini golf. And this mini golf was very easy to finish a hole. So when we were done, we went to a par 3 golf course. We didn’t see a golf course. Instead we saw a sign and no golf course. On the way out we asked a man. He told us that it was out of bisness. So we found another golf course. They told us it was a normal golf course. And they told us that Broad Run golf course was a par 3 golf course. When we got there they told us that it was a normal golf course again. But they said there was a mini golf. So we played it.

After a while dad lost the score card. So he got another score card and a pencil. Then we played on. Then, dad told me that we would play another round. When we were finished we went back to the mall to pick up mom. Before we left the mall, we went shopping. We bought trainers for indoor and outdoor shoes. Dad bought 2-T shirts and we went back to the hotel and went swimming. Finally, we had late dinner at a sushi restaurant. We arrived there at 9:15. When we were finished dinner, we arrived at the hotel at 10:10. It was a quiet dinner after all.

Today we went to Vienna Metro Station. And we bought a one day pass. When we got out side we saw the monument. We took pictures. And we pretended to push down the monument. The monument looked like it was 20 million meters tall! Maybe not 20 million meters tall but it was tall enough to be called tall.

Then, we went to the other side of the road. And when we were crossing the road I looked at the buildings. They were so tall that they looked like they were about to fall over. Okay okay it wasn’t that tall. And we went inside the Museum. Oh I forgot to tell you the name of the museum. So the museum was called Museum of Natural History. When we got inside there was a model of a big elephant and it looked like a real one. There was some human history and lots of models of animals. And most of them were about 15 meters tall and 15 meters wide. Then, we went to see a 3-D movie about dinosaurs. In one of the pictures one type of animals is fully grown by 20 years old. And these types of dinosaurs have no predictors because they are too tall and strong to be beaten up. The other dinosaurs can only scratch their feet. If one smaller dinosaur sneaks up to the big dinosaurs back, the dinoursaur can use its long strong tail to nock the other dinosaurs away. Their tail is very long and very strong. These types of dinosaurs travel slowly in big groups. And the groups of nests are too wide to be stepen over by the dinosaur’s mothers. After the 3-D movie, we ate lunch and I accidentally spilled my ice tea. Next, we went to the National Air And Space Museum. We saw real spacecrafts and the first probe we saw was Apollo 11. It was very famous probe. The first people to walk on the moon.

The other probes we saw were called Hope and Opportunity. They landed on mars. Another was called Vikings. It was a rover that explored mars. When we left the museum we went to the White House. (And we had an appointment with president Obama. We asked him these questions. 1. How long have you been president? 2. How is your work? 3. How did you get awarded? And we took pictures of him and the white house. ) (just joking)! Later, we had dinner at a Chinese restaurant. The food was not that good. Finally, we went back to the hotel.

Today, we planned to go to the amusement park to play mini golf. When we arrived, it wasn’t open yet. We didn’t want to waste our time. So, we went shopping at Big K Mart to buy my swimming suits. I went straight into the Big K mart to see 4 sport whistles and disguise. Dad went to see his men wear. Mom went to see her woman wear. Later, Dad and mom tried to find me but they couldn’t find me. They were frightened. So, Mom asked the staff to call me in the P.A. system. When I heard it, I rushed to the entrance to meet my mom. Dad and mom were happy to find me. After we bought my swimming suits, we went to the amusement park again. This time we still couldn’t play it because it was raining. I was disappointed. It was about lunchtime and we went to a restaurant called Eat’n Park to have our lunch. It was a family restaurant. After we ordered our food, we heard thunder. The thunder was so loud it made the restaurant shake a bit. Oh and the lightning too. After we were done our lunch, we went to Holiday Bowl to play bowling. At first, I got 2 fouls because my feet were beyond the line. After that I learned not to go over the line because the score didn’t count. So, I tried to catch up and I did. Finally, dad won the game.

After we were done the game, we played race cars witch you had to race with your partner, DX hockey witch you have to try to score in your partner’s net and finally, Pinball witch you had to get the highest score as possible. I beat dad in the car race and won him. And he won the hockey game. He beat me by 7-4. Then, I played Pinball I had a high score.

It was still raining so we couldn’t go to the amusement park to play mini golf. Eventually, we went straight to Washington DC. After driving for 5 hours, we finally arrived at Four Point by Sheraton Hotel. Next, we went swimming. We had fun. Then, we went to Bob Evans restaurant. I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce, French fries, garlic bread and ice tea. The food was so yummy that I wanted to come again.

Today, we drove to Buffalo and then we had to stop in the immigration because they had to check our passports and asked us to pay money for going into the U.S.A. We waited for almost 2 hours. Then, they called our name. They checked our passports and they told us to pay at the cashier. So we did. After, we continued the drive to our hotel. The hotel was called Super 8. When we arrived, it was about 10:00 p.m. Restaurants were already closed, so we ate instant cup noodles for dinner. It was yummy. All of us were very tired, especially dad. He had driven all day long.
