I was walking to the plaza in Arequipa, Peru and when we got there we saw one hundred million billion pigeons!  When all the Pigeons were walking around we didn’t know that they would all fly off in to the air and then land back down onto the ground. All those Pigeons were so excited for Christmas that I imagined they were having a party early.  They put up a Christmas tree.  They put ornaments and lights on it. Then they get ready for bed.  Then they go to bed and wait until Santa Clause the pigeon comes to put presents under the tree.  The pigeons have a wonderful Christmas morning.

Having Fun On My Birthday

I got to have a birthday week.  I went zip-lining.  There was a lot of zip-lines.  I got to go by myself on the short ones.

I had pancakes on my birthday. They were delicious.  I went on a boat to see dolphins. I saw them swimming.  dolphins swimming in the water

I also held a starfish.  It felt a little bit pokey.

I saw a lobster and we cooked lobster alive for dinner. I also saw a lot of tiny tiny little fish.  I saw them when we were about to go snorkling. I saw lantern fish under the water.  I had a party with my Aunt CC.  My cupcakes were chocolate and vanilla.  They were circle and square. I felt happy.
