An Egyptian Story

I just wanted to blog about a book I`ve read. In Egypt long ago, a boy named Horus grew up to be pharoh, but he had to fight an evil man named Set. Their first battle Set appered as a black pig,and shot fire in Horus`s eye, but Horus survived. Their second big battle was when Set appered as a man with a head that looked dead. His followers called him "Set the dead head," I laughed when I read that,Horus captured Set and chopped off his head. But that was not the end of Set. They met yet again, This time Set appered as a hippoptumus, Horus as a youth about twelve years old. Set opened his mouth to swallow Horus and his boat. But, as he opened his mouth Horus drew back his sword and killed Set.

Galveston trip

We went to Galveston one day,and this is what we did:
First thing I did was catch small crabs, shrimp, and minnows. My sister, however, had her own ideas. She stayed inside while I played on the dock.
We went on jet skis, kayaks, and finally we went to the ocean.

Simon had the time of his life! (Well, maybe there were better times).

King Tut!

For my birthday last year, we visited the King Tut museum. We saw clay pots that they put the liver in, Golden statues of Gods, a tomb, a mummified cat,and a baby Egyptian tomb. I had so much fun! My favorite part was seeing the tombs. We loved it!I got a coloring book!
