Hey guys! Welcome back to my blog. Today I will be talking to you guys about my amazing experience in Chicago but first I’m going to explain to you why I went to Chicago.

On Friday March 15th 2013 my mom and I left to go to Buffalo. I was going to a dance competition that would let me know if I qualify for nationals or not. That year nationals where in Chicago. I danced on the Saturday and I was against other people. How this worked is if you got 1st 2nd or 3rd place then you qualified for nationals. I ended up getting 4th place so I knew that I didn’t qualify. When I went to dance the next week my teacher told me that because I got more then 250 points I qualified.

A month before the trip to Chicago my mom told me that we were going with my best friend Rebecca. We were so excited. Finally the day came. It was early Sunday morning on June 30th when we left for Chicago. It took us almost 13 hours to get there because we would stop to take pictures, get food and use the washroom.

The first 4 days I spent time at the competition supporting my friends then we had Thursday and Friday to do whatever we wanted. On the Thursday my mom, Rebecca, Rebecca’s mom and I decided to go to target and look around Chicago and buy some souvenirs. Target was huge I thought that we were going to get lost. On Friday we spent the day at the pool. Everyone was getting thrown in and we had chicken wars and so much more.  Chicago was so pretty and the food there was really good. Everyone was nice and it was an awesome experience.

We also got to see the fireworks because it was the 4th of July. The fireworks lasted for almost 2 hours. Every so often you would hear them from a different spot. We were going to go somewhere to watch them but we realized that we could watch them from our hotel. We went to our friends hotel room and they had a nice overlook of the city. We sat on the patio and watched the fireworks for 20 minutes then we had to go back to our room.

This experience was amazing and it is definitely something that I will never forget. Thank you for reading my blog. I will write to you soon.

Hey! Today I will be telling you guys about my experience at Canada’s Wonderland. I have been to Canada’s wonderland twice and both times I have had a great experience. Canada’s Wonderland is a great place to hangout with friends and family for the day. There’s so much fun and entertaining activities for everyone of all ages. I went on a lot of roller coasters and I also went to the water park.

If you are going to go then you should go during the week or on a day where it is going to be rainy. When its really hot and sunny or if it is on a weekend, it will be really busy. If it is sunny then you will be waiting in line for a long time. If it is raining then not a lot of people will want to spend the day outside. The first time that I went to Canada’s Wonderland, the lineups were really long so we would go somewhere else then we would come back to that ride later or when the line was shorter. The last time I went to Canada’s Wonderland it was during the week so there was not a lot of people. There was a couple times where there was no one in line so we went on it again.

At Canada’s Wonderland there is a lot of places where you can go and eat. They have Tim Hortans, Subway, pizza pizza and so much more. The food  there is really good but it is also really expensive. They also have a lot of places where you can sit and eat. There is a lot of tables so you can choose if you want to sit in the shade or the sun. Everyone that works at the food places are really nice and as long as you do not do anything wrong then you will not have any problems.

At Canada’s wonderland, there is more than just food and roller coasters. They also have a really big water park. There is a lot of water slides, and a big pool for everyone to swim in and they also have a lazy river that you can float down and relax. My favorite part of the water park is the carpet water slide. 7 people can go down at the same time so we would always race down and see who would get to the bottom first.

So far the last two times that I have been to Canada’s Wonderland, I have had a great experience. I definitely recommend going because it is a great way to spend the day with friends and family. Stay tuned for another blog. I will talk to you guys soon! bye.

Thanks for joining me!
