I stopped by Ann and David’s house in Ottawa. We were there to eat dinner. We stayed with Paul and Judy and Jamie and Willa and their dog Keski. We went lugeing.
They don’t have the weather Network at Paul and Judy’s place.
We went to Kevin and Alice’s house to watch Meteo Media.

(Jon was home sick today, but I still made him write a journal entry about his weekend (Mean Mommy! At least that’s what Jon seemed to think). Météo Média is the French weather channel, which Jon loves to watch whenever we visit anyone who gets that channel. We’ve told him previously that it would cost too much to get Météo Média; when we got home he firmly announced that we have to pay the extra money to get that channel. Fat chance, my boy! —L)

The three of us on the Test Track ride, Jon’s centre with his head down. It’s not a fair picture, because at that moment you’ve been told that it’s a barrier test and instead of braking your car accelerates at the wall (which turns out to be a pair of doors which fly open and you head outside at high speed). Jon’s the only sane one in the picture.

[In the past few months, some people have been noticing changes in Jon’s posts. A few people—I won’t mention any names— *coughKernercough* have suggested that Laura and I might be polishing. Nuh-uh. But something is going on.

Back in September, Jon’s teacher began to teach him composition and editing. Glaring editorial concerns are now being massaged in a second draft, and sometimes that is what we’re posting. Moreover, Jon is absorbing the lessons, so the level of his pieces is changing too. So here, I presented both the first draft, entirely done by Jon, and the second and final draft, worked on by him and his teacher. —P]

I went in a taxi to go to the airport. Next I went on an airplane. I was flying to Florida. I was watching the iPod touch on the plane. On the iPod touch there was some wall-e trailers And Wonder Pets episodes. The episodes I saw was save the swan. The airplace landed after we flew to Florida. I was leaving Toronto on Saturday January 5/08. In Florida I went to Disney World. I was going to Epcot. I went on a lot of rides. The rides I went on were Finding Nemo, Soarin’, and Test Track. I enjoyed the rides. I was going back to the hotel to see the Local on the 8s on the Wether Channel. Then it was time to go back to Toronto. On the plane I got sick. I got the flu. I’m feeling better now.

My Trip to Disney World

On December 29/07 my family and I went in a taxi to go to the airport. We went on an airplane. We were flying to Florida. I watched the iPod touch on the plane. On the iPod touch there wer some wall-e trailers and Wonder Pets episodes. The episode I saw was Save the Swan. We were on the airplane for three hours. Then we went to the hotel and we unpacked. Next we went to Disney World and went to Epcot. I went on lots of rides. The rides I went on were Finding Nemo, Soarin’, and Test Track. I enjoyed all the rides. Then we went back to the hotel to see the Local on the 8s on the Weather Channel. I had a lot of fun. Then it was time to go back to Toronto. On the plane I got sick. I got the flu. I’m feeling better now.

I had a great time at Disney World. I went to Epcot on a Disney bus. At Epcot I went on lots of rides. I went on the Finding Nemo ride three times. Then I went on Soarin’. And Test Track. Then I went back to the hotel to watch the Weather Channel. I saw the Local on the 8s.
