Ghosts and Goblins Come a Haunting.. It's Halloween!

Hey Everyone! Today is a very special day in America, its Halloween! Halloween is a holiday that dates way back in time, originally serving as the day before All Saints Day as a last time for ghosts and monsters to haunt the Earth before the Saints came. Now, it is an excuse for people of all ages to dress up in their favorite costume like a ghost or monster. They walk around house to house saying, "Trick or Treat!" and get lots of candy! Halloween is a fun time for everyone, as there are costumes parties, games, and lots and lots of candy. People carve pumpkins into their favorite faces of designs and bob for apples. Its like a fall celebration. However, most schools don't have Halloween or the day after off from school, so you can't stay out too late! Its another fun holiday in the United States that brings people together and is fun for all ages. 

Do you celebrate Halloween where you live? What would you dress up as? Let me know in the comments!

Age of Excellence

On Saturday night, I went to my friend's Sweet Sixteen party! Her party was very fun, and the theme was Hollywood, so there were movie posters hung everywhere, along with a Hollywood backdrop to take photos on, and special balloons everywhere. It was very fun, as all Sweet Sixteen parties are. The age when most American teens have the biggest party is when they turn sixteen. It is almost like a coming of age party! Turning sixteen is a also big deal in the United States because that's when you can get your drivers license. I will be turning sixteen and getting my drivers license very soon! I am very nervous, because you have to take a rigorous driving test before you can get your license. So wish me luck! 

In the United States, turning different ages means different things. At sixteen you can get your drivers license, at eighteen you become a legal adult, but it is not until twenty one that you can drink any alcohol legally, even beer and wine. Becoming older is very fun, but with more age comes more responsibility. 

What is your favorite age and why? Let me know in the comments!

Take me out to the ball game

Hey everyone! Last weekend I went to "America's Favorite Pastime"... a baseball game! Every state has one or two teams and my area's team is the Angels. Its a great chance to hang out with your friends, eat some hot dogs, and cheer for your favorite team. Although the games can get boring at times, the last innings are always the best because the scores can become very close and your team has to work very hard to win! At the game, the Angels lost by one run in the very last inning! What a bummer! It was a very fun game though, and a great thing to do while in the United States.

What's your favorite sports team? Let me know in the comments!
