New Pets

I want a mouse.

 

I might like to have a parrot.

A baby pheasant would be nice.

My Favorite Pet, Rocky

Rocky is my favorite pet. He is my best friend.  Rocky comes to me when I call him; well, MOST of time.  He's VERY mellow.  He is about 3 feet tall and a golden lab.  If anyone came to our house at night to rob us, he'd lay on them to death and then go back to sleep, because he loves to sleep so much.   My grandma's dog, Gus, comes to our house sometimes and bugs Rocky.  He barks at Rocky and walks around him in a big circle.  Rocky just keeps walking away and tries to ignore poor Gussie.

Three Things I am Looking Forward to About Traveling into Asia for Three Months

I am looking forward to our trip to Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, and China.  Three Things I can't wait to have happen are:

1. Spending my birthday (March 27) in  China and seeing the Stone Forest with our friends while we are there.
2. Spending time with the MacLeans in Indonesia.
3. Making new friends in each country.

Love, Jonathan

Lizards and Spiders

I was expecting Sri Lanka and Indonesia to be a lot like Vanuatu and I was right.  Many things are the same.  There is lots of grass and green trees, it rains a lot, and we get to walk lots of places.  Four things I like so far:  the rain, going to the International school, all the amazing lizards and spiders, and being able to walk to the Macleans.

Hummingbirds Are My Favorite Birds & A Story I Made Up About 3 Birds

Reasons I like hummingbirds:

1. They are so pretty.
2. They have long beaks.
3. They are so very colorful.
   

One day Henry the Hummingbird came over to Woody the Woodpecker's house for a visit. Woody offered Henry every kind of hummingbird feed that he had. Then Henry and Woody flew off to the tea shop to drink some hummingbird tea(for Henry) and some bug tea (for Woody) together. Then they flew off to another place for lunch. Woody found the perfect tree and started pecking. Henry found a nice tulip to suck on. Their best friend, Hummer, the Cardinal came over to play Bird Monopoly with them. They all got some money and ordered some food. Henry ordered a Nacho Tulip Hummingbird platter. Woody ordered a bug hamburger with extra termites. Hummer ordered a seed sandwich. The three best friends watched a movie, Wall E, on their computer and had a fun day together.
