Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival

Recently, I went to the Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival. There were actually not many cherry blossom trees. Our family was going there with of Sophie’s friends’ families. So first when we got there, we had to find the to other families. Once we found them, we all started talking and browsing around the tents that surrounded us. There were so many tents, some advertising, some just selling jewelry and other things. After we looked at all the tents, (believe me, there was a lot) we watched a show. The show was at the front of the festival, and dancers were dancing in them. They were really talented. Some of the dancers used humongous drums to make music. We watched a couple of dances, then the families (including me) all walked down the street and walked into a small room. The room was FULL with origami figures. I read a sign by the door, and the sign said that the origami people were imitating the first Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival. There were origami people, carriages, animals, and more. This is a picture of a origami women dancing in the first festival:

In one corner of the room, there was the teacher of the students who made the origami festival. She had two really cute puppies with her. This is one of them:

IMG_1351This is my favorite puppy. You can see the other in the background.

IMG_1353This is an origami imitate of the puppy that the owner made. Even their outfit is sort of the same.

The lady who owned them even let me pet them!

All the families left the origami room and entered another room. This room was full of beautiful flowers. It smelled amazing. I used my camera to take so many pictures of them. Here are a few pictures of them:

There are a lot of pretty flowers. These are my favorite.

After a while, we all got hungry. So all the families walked into the nearby mall. It was humongous. My dad started looking on his phone for a place to eat. In a couple of minutes, he found a place. I was thinking that it would be a very yummy place to eat. All I had to do was go to the restaurant. So we all went to the place. Next to the restaurant, there was a desert store called Sophie’s Crepes.

IMG_1398Sophie was sort of excited about it, and wanted to go there after lunch.

Dad told us it would be sort of a short wait. But it was a lllloooooonnnnnggg wait. It took about a half an hour to actually get inside the restaurant. I was right about the food being yummy, though. I had katsu, a japanese dish. It is chicken with panko bread crumbs on top of it. There was miso soup, a salad, and a sauce to go with my plate. My dish was very good.

Turns out that we couldn’t go to Sophie’s Crepes because the line was super long. So we continued down the mall and came to another place with crepes. Sophie wanted to go there. I wanted to go too. But it turns out that we both ended up getting a smoothie/drink with tapioca balls in it. All the families browsed in a bunch of other stores. Except dad. He went to move the parking spot. We all had a great time. After that, it was time to go. Our family located our car, and we buckled and went home.

 

Long time, no post

This is my first post in a VERY long time. By that, I mean 2 years. So, just for fun i’m writing my text in pink. I was super excited to write another post so here I am writing it. Sometimes I like to goof around with my text words,for example: I LoVE rAinBOw$!

2012-12-28-emilys-teeth-008.jpgMy last post was when I got 3 teeth pulled out. When I had time to look at my 3 teeth, they were HUGE! Almost 2 centimeters. My mom and dad told me it was big because my teeth weren’t wiggly and they still have the long root. When the dentists pulled my teeth out, it didn’t really hurt because they put numbing cream on the gums of my teeth. I’m just saying this but that was a really long time ago.

2012-07-25-013_thumb.jpgI still remember when I got my blog. After my dad helped me set up, I instantly started on a new post. It was about all of my favorite stuffed animals.  My dad even showed me how to put a picture with my text. I was super excited when I finished. I pressed the publish button and TA DA, I made my first post. 

I love to write. At school, sometimes I get carried away and write too much. One time, I accidentally wrote 9 pages for a 3-5 page assignment! The story was about me finding a leprechaun, and the leprechaun giving me 3 wishes. In the story, my 3 wishes were to become a fairy, get super powers (to hide my wings), and become a mermaid every time I step into water. But in the end, the leprechaun had to go away to see his family.  It was really fun. Everyone should write!

3 Teeth Pulled Out!

Today, I got 3 teeth pulled out at the dentist! It felt really weird. The first thing they did was, they put a q-tip with some cream to make my mouth more numb so when they pull my teeth out, I won’t feel it, and then I had to wait a couple minutes.

The next thing they did was they put a SHOT in my mouth!!! And pinched it really hard. After that, they sprayed a really bitter medicine on my teeth. I had to wait 10 minutes.

Then, they pulled my teeth out. I felt a push and a pull and cranking and then POP! Out came the tooth! I felt the blood dripping down my mouth. They stuck some cotton rolls in, to suck all the blood out of my mouth. It was gross.

In the car when we were going home, I felt hurt, but happy and relieved because my new teeth can finally grow in. When we got home, the whole family cuddled on the couch and watched Myth Busters on the T.V. and that helped me feel better!
