Hello, it's BRENNAN AGAIN!!! It's great to be back. Let me tell you about my Winter Break.
We had a Winter Break and it lasted all the way through January 2013. Today was supposed to be my first day back, unfortunately I had a doctor appointment, which is good for me. So I only have 2 days of school before the 2 days of the weekends.
Anyway, enough about school. Let me tell you about what happened on my Winter Break.
One of the first things I did on my winter break was go to a railroad museum! Me and my grandmother and Tammy and my brother Brody, were going on a railroad trip. When we got there, I suddenly remembered that I had been there before. We got on the train, and who do you think showed up? Santa! I told him what I wanted for Christmas. As there is an interesting fact, the conductor told us about the highest tressel in Kentucky (but we didn't go over it) There was a model of it in the museum, it was O scale (Lionel). Once the train stopped, we got off a saw some of the model railroads, but they weren't working. Anyhoo, we went into another room and it showed what railroading was like in Kentucky back in the 1800's. My favorite part of the trip was riding on the train. But in the gift shop in the museum, was a telegraph machine that you could really work on. I told my grandmother to get on the other telegraph machine. I telegraphed her a telegram that said "I love you" but she didn't understand it. So I told her anyway.
Soon it was CHRISTMAS!!!
Here is what I got for Christmas. I got some clothes, Ship Simulator Extremes, Train Simulator 2012 (but it actually uploaded as 2013), Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days, a Lego Garage, Mining Truck, Mini figs, Helicopter Rescue and a Master Builders Set. I also got an x-box 360. So if you play Minecraft, let me know and maybe we can play together now. We ate lots of good food at my grandmothers house.
You see, the greatest part about this Winter Break is when I went to Columbus Ohio where my mom was raised and we went to see the Harlem Globetrotters. We got a VIP room, which was like First Class. We had great food, Papa John's pizza, chicken fingers, plenty of water and soda, hamburgers, cookies, brownies, chips, anything you could imagine, and 1 GIANT pretzel! We got the best seats in the house. Joining us at the Harlem Globetrotters were my friends Kaley & Erich and their parents. There was a lady there with her husband who were our hosts.
After the Harlem Gobetrotters, we went back to our hotel and Kaley & Erich came over to hang out for a while. We watched some TV, and ate candy. The next morning, we woke up and saw a winter wonderland in Columbus Ohio. It was like Christmas again! It snowed 6 inches overnight! We ate breakfast at the hotel and we could see the Ohio Capitol building out the window. My dad told us about the history of Ohio.
After breakfast, we went to a science museum. It's called COSI. It's a science museum. It had very cool stuff in it about space, the body, and other scientific things. A very cool thing was a giant pendulum proving that the earth rotates. You know one of those pirate ship rides, it swings back and forth like waves on a ship, if we had that ride at the north pole and the earth was straight, but rotating, if you had dominoes around the ride and if the ride was going like a pendulum the earth would slowly rotate beneath and every time it hits a domino, the earth would be rotated to make the ride hit the domino.
After COSI, we then went to mom's old home and she showed us where she used to live. Right behind her house where mom used to live, there is a railroad line which made her love trains.
After we saw mom's old home, we got some food at McDonald's and we stopped at a few places for shopping. We then drove home. The coldest temperature we saw was 26 (f) degrees! Once we got home, we cranked up the heat and fell into a deep sleep.
Then it was the New Year of 2013! New Year's Eve is also the day my brother was born! He is now 5 years old! We had some friends over to celebrate with us. We had lots of food and played. Then we all chanted together 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We even lit off fireworks in the driveway. It was a great time. John Tyler was there. We played tag, but mostly I played Minecraft on the Xbox. John Tyler gave me a few tips.
In conclusion, this is about my winter break. I wonder what Winter Break is going to be like next year.
