Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

Madagascar 3 is really funny, entertaining, and colorful! Alex is a lion.  Gloria is a hippo.  Melmen is a giraffe.  Marty is a zebra.  Mort, King Julien, and Maurice are all lemurs. Skipper, Rico, Kwalski, and Private are penguins.  The group is still in Africa and ready to come home to New York.  The Penguins  and monkeys take the plane they fixed to go to a casino in Europe but they said as they were taking off that they were never coming back. So Alex, Gloria, Marty, Melmen, and the lemurs snorkeled to Europe.  They tried to sneak into the casino but they got caught and animal patrol is on there trail.  They join the circus and hope to get a tour of the U.S. After a while the circus animals find out that they were from the zoo when the said they were from a circus. So the Zoo friends left the circus when they got to New York.  The zoo caught Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melmen and put them in secure cages. The friends did not like the zoo any more.  The lemurs told the circus animals what happened to them.  Then the circus animals rescued them and the zoo animals joined the circus.

My favorite part was when King Julien fell off a building and Maurice smiled but frowned when he landed on the penguin's plane.

The Magic Worm

Once upon a time there were three friends that lived in a forest.  Lilly was 10, Kyle was 10, and Robbie was 11.  One day, while they were playing they saw a fairy on a flower crying, "What's wrong?" asked Lilly.

"I lost Wormy, the dream worm!" she sniffed.

"We'll help you find him." Kyle said.

"Thank you." She said, "Oh and my name is Star Fire."

Just then a fairy whizzed by carrying a worm...Star Fire's worm!  "That's Black Rose!" said Star Fire.  They chased her until they got to a cave.  Black Rose closed the cave with a boulder.  The friends tried opening it.  It wouldn't budge.  Kyle pulled out a long rope and went home and left a trail of rope behind them.  They came back with a shovel and separated the rock from the cave and went in.  Lilly distracted Black Rose while Kyle got the worm.  Robbie grabbed Black Rose and Kyle tossed the worm to Star Fire.  "Thank you!  Thank you friends!"

"You're welcome!" they all said at once.  

 And they all lived happily after!

Final review of the YMCA

I am back to give my final review of the YMCA soccer camp.  So we learned a few new games.  A few of the games were electric current, head or catch, and freeze soccer. Electric current is when there is two equal lines that the 1st person squeezes the 2nd person's hand and so on.  Then, the last person runs up and kicks the soccer ball.  The 1st one who gets the soccer ball wins.  My final review of the YMCA is... 2. We started playing soccer a little bit more and did a few fun games and that's what bumped it up to a 2.  I would not do this camp again.

Soccer Camp at the YMCA

This was my first day of soccer camp.  Right now if I could rate the YMCA soccer camp in stars, this is what I would give it, 1. Why, you ask? Well, first of all you go swimming and then you change... in front of ALL of the girls and counselors. It would have been nice if they would of let us use the changing room.  You also only play soccer two hours out of seven.  You play "Da Ga," a game where you use your hands to knock the ball into other people hard to get them out.            

So, my mom taught me how to change in privately in front of other people.

I will get back to you at the end of the week for my final rating.  : (
