Our 7yr old brought home a writing assignment where she was asked to write on a city she would love to live in. Here goes:
Hello everyone! I am Dana. I went to New York last year with my parents. It is one bustling city with lots of attractions and fun activities for kids.
1. I enjoyed watching musicals at Broadway. We watched Les Mis and Matilda.
2. I saw extinct animals at the American Museum of Natural History (such as Blue Whale, Woolly Mammoth, T-Rex, Stegosaurus and Brontosaurus).
3. I crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. (It is really long!)
4. I took the underground train (or they called subways).
5. I rode on the carousel at Central Park and saw Big Bird from Sesame Street!
6. I took a tour on a ferry around Manhattan Bay.
7. I went to the Intrepid Sea and Air Museum and saw machines that can fly (space shuttles, jets) and machines that go under water (submarines).
8. I met the Statue of Liberty. I didn’t know she’s so huge and tall!
9. I got a chance to meet real NYPD (New York Police) TWO times! One even rode on a horse! Did you know I want to be a policewoman when I grow up?
10. I went to the famous toy store at Times Square called Fao Schwarz and danced on the huge keyboard. We also rode the Ferris Wheel inside Toys ‘R’ Us.
Please turn on your volume and enjoy this video put together from pics selected by me (Dana). Thank you.
You’re such a lucky girl, Dana. I visited NYC only when I was 22, in winter. I thought it was great too 🙂 Love the videos of you and Daddy dancing!
Wow, well done, Dana! Now you can help your parents to blog too. 🙂
Dana is one lucky girl to travel to so many countries and cities. May these always be precious memories to you. Enjoy your upcoming trip to Bangkok too.
I’m impressed.Your 7 year old girl writes very well!
Love the photos of Dana on Brooklyn Bridge. 🙂 She’s such a blessed kid to be able to travel to so many far places at such a young age. What great exposure! 🙂
You look so happy, Dana! Glad to hear that you had an awesome time in NYC with your parents!
I think Dana’s English is better than mine! What a totally fab and memorable trip!
Super duper love this post! Had to comment even though I’m not in the blog hop. DANA, well done on the write up. Aunty May enjoyed it a lot and that video was great too! Keep up the great work!
What an awesome post! Dana, I want to go to NY too because of your post 🙂
Wow. Now I know Dana wants to help uphold the law and order. So sweet. I am getting my son to do a guest post too!
You’re a very well-travelled young lady, Dana! Loved the video – your daddy and you are very sporting to dance in front of so many tourists! And the ferris wheel looks so fun. 🙂
Hi, would like to know which hotel you stayed while in New York?
