A Sunny Day by Bishop

I have been hearing about all that snow back in South Carolina, and I think I would trade three days in Madeira to have gotten to play in that snow.  It made me really homesick.  But today made things better because it was the first real sunny day that stayed sunny all day long.  

Here is what we got to do:

First, we had a little school and then headed to the park.  We played basketball, and while we were there, we saw something in the sky.  It looked like a parachute but it was steering up and down.  They kept zooming past us up high in the sky.  I asked mom what they were.  She said that they must be parasails.  She sat by someone on the plane who was visiting Madeira to parasail, so it must be popular here. We watched for a LONG time.  They were parasails! They landed right beside us and then packed it all up in a backpack.  It was very exciting.

 

Then, we went to get a chocolate pastry.  They are soooooo good.  They are like long flat croissants with melted chocolate inside.

Next, we sat for a while enjoying the chocolate while watching people swim in the ocean and looking at the pools where we will get to swim soon.  I am so mad that nobody will go swimming with me yet.  I don't think it is too cold at all.

 

We went back to the center of the field in the park and played this cool sling shot game that my grandfather, Bear, gave me.  Our record was ten in a row which is hard to do!  

School wears me out but playing in the park wears mom out.

Before we left, Zelle and I got to play in a new tree that we discovered. There are the best trees for climbing here.  The sunny day made everything better.
