Weekend

This weekend I am going to Door County with Madison Giordano. We are leaving Thursday sometime and coming back either Saturday or Sunday. I am so excited because we are going to actual haunted houses that have real ghosts in the house. Also we are going to have tons of my favorite snacks like ranch pretzels, this buttery caramel popcorn thing and tons of yummy snacks. We are going to go trick or treating up in Door County and it is just going to be so much fun. I will be so sad when we have to go home on Saturday or Sunday.

Candy

Candy

There are tons of candies in the world but my favorite candy would be any kind of chocolate. Health Bars, Snickers and 100 grand's are my favorite kind of chocolate because they have caramel and many more things in them then just chocolate. Halloween is one of my favorite holiday because it is where kinds can just go all out and eat tons of candy. Most kids get stomach aches from eating too much candy. Now that I am older I don't enjoy trick or treating as much as I used to but I still enjoy the candy that I get. My sister and I always split candy once we are done because I like different things than she does. I can't wait for Halloween to get tons of more candy.

Beaches

Beaches
I have been to many beaches but by far Florida had the best beaches. When I went down to Florida 2 years ago with my grandma and grandpa because they own a condo down in Florida. Our condo was right on the beach and if we look right out our balcony we would see the ocean, that was how close we were to the beach. Everyday we went down to the beach and swam and suntanned. But one day I decided to French braid my hair so it would look curly. Well my hair got curly but my part got burnt on my head because I was enjoying the beach too much and I went in later than I expected. For the rest of the trip when ever I brushed my hair my head stung like crazy.
After 3 days I was finally able to brush my hair and go out and see Florida. The beach was just incredible and where ever you looked you saw sand and people. One day instead of going to the beach my grandma surprised my sister and I by going down to the Daytona 500 Race Track and getting us a tour. We saw the Matt Kenseth race car that won that year, and we were so excited to see it because Matt Kenseth is from Wisconsin and so are we. We did incredible things in Florida and I will never forget our trip.

Does Patriotism Still Matter?

Patriotism
To have patriotism you need to have honor for your country. You are supposed to vote and do things for the community to have patriotism. Most people believe that being in the war is having patriotism. Patriotism isn’t about being in the war it is about having honor for your country.
Honor is just one of the many things you need to have to be able to have Patriotism. You need to be able to have love and respect for your country. One of the many things that devastated out country was the twin towers getting hit by two airplanes. That just shows us that we have faith in our country because we made it through that day.
Most people ask, “What does patriotism even do for our country?” Patriotism does tons and tons of things for our country. For example it motivates they army or people to join the army and fight for our country. Also it helps us to vote and really get involved in Community work. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love my country. I love my country because I have a free right of speech and I am able to hang out with the people I want to hang out with. Religion is also a big part in my life because my church helps me solve my problems. The person that makes this all possible is the president of the United States.
Presidents are very important because they are like the glue to a country. They fight for our rights and want everyone to get along. Some presidents were better than others but that doesn’t matter they helped us get where we are today. Our world today is far better than it ever was and I have patriotism to thank for that.
