The Adventures of Clifford

One day Clifford the black and brown miniature dachshund decided that she should finally tell Eric that she can talk like humans can. She walked up to Eric while he was on his iPod updating his face book and said “Hi”. Eric flipped out because he thought that a ghost had said “Hi”. Then Clifford started talking again and told Eric a few things that he thought was pretty cool.

Clifford is eight years old and is a girl. She thinks vegetables are disgusting. Her eyes are very weird. One is a hazel brown while the other is white.

She told Eric that she wanted to go on an adventure and that he should pack supplies. He said “No! I’d get grounded for life!” She then decided that to get things done you have to do it yourself. She decided to sit next to the fridge until someone opened it. After Caden opened it and left it open Clifford couldn’t reach any of the food except the vegetables because she was so short. She rather not go on an adventure and stay here than have to eat even one vegetable.

Eric walked in and realized that Caden had left the door open and that Clifford was trying to get food so that she could leave. He walked up, picked her up, and said nice try but you failed. I’m taking you up stairs and locking you in my room.

Dinner with a King and a Show

Mrs. Reynolds is taking the 6th and 7th grades on a field trip in a few months. I recommend that parents allow their children to go because it is worth the money as I will explain below. It’s only sixty-five dollars and comes with supper. While you eat you get to watch the best live show right in front of you.

You get to watch 6 nights battle it out in a tournament and a search for the prince. There is jousting, weapon fighting- which including swords, maces, and even spears- wars and even award ceremonies.

While you eat your four-course dinner, you sit in the area made for the “realm” of your knight. When you walk in the door the “servants” give you a crown that tells you what knight to root for. Your knight stands right in front of you. When he wins he gives the people of his realm the prize. Normally the prize is a rose.

Now let’s talk about dinner. The dinner starts off with a delicious soup that gets you pretty hungry. Then they bring you the full size chicken breast (that is cooked to perfection) and the garlic bread. Then comes the ribs. Finally they bring the castle pastry, which is delicious.

Finally after the show (and before) you can visit the many shops. They have a sword shop that is pretty expensive but they have really nice swords. There is also a bar where you can get non alcoholic and alcoholic beverages including strawberry daiquiris. You can even visit the dungeons!
