Grace’s Journal

I am going to miss Cherry Hills so much. I hope my friends come to visit me. I hope my friends have a good time without me at Cherry Hills. I hope they like the messages I sent them.

Today we are in Canada. We are in a city called Montreal. They speak French here. I learned to say a few things in French.

Hello — Bonjour.
Thank You — Merci.
Goodbye — Au revoir.
Stop — Arret.
Exit — Sortie.

We went into the city today. To get there we took the subway. In Montreal, the subway is called the Metro. The subway went really really really fast. We rode a lot of stops. It was very noisy when the train came into the station. That’s all for now. I’ll do another news flash later.

Here are some pictures from today:

Bye bye.

Today we are in Canada. I made a movie with my dad on the way here. Here it is:

Today I went to the pool with my dad. I hung on to the bar at the pool and put my feet on the bar. We went to see the geyser in Yellowstone National Park. It is called Old Faithful. It blew up lots of hot water. And I went to 2 restaurants today. I ate pizza. It was good. I had a great time.

Here are some pictures from Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park:

I took this picture of the Grand Tetons:
