Bike Adventure

Today Mom, Dana, Dad and I went down to kits (at 11:30 but reached kits at 12:15) to watch Ryan play wheelchair tennis. When we got there Ryan was winning and won in the end. I was very helpful. I went to Segal's to get some lunch. After we went with Sheri to Stanly Park by going around Vanier park and onto the burrard bridge and around the seawall to the park. We found the Lions Gate Bridge and went over top of it under it and on both sides(in Vancouver) and finally over it. Then we went to a Vietnamese for Dinner. We got spring rolls, Salad rolls, beef and noodles and chicken on a skewer. The only problem was that instead of salad rolls we got spicy chicken. Then we went to Ambleside to take a picture and then back over the bridge. Sheri went home when we reached Prospect point because it was getting late and me and Dana had ice cream. We biked home and arrived at 8:35. I had a bowl of noodles and then did my Daily Mile Daily Smile

This book is about a cat named Bluestar. She is the leader of ThunderClan. It tells how she became leader and the prophecy she received from Goosefeather: Like fire, You will blaze through the forest. She started as Bluekit and she was getting into trouble. Soon she became an apprentice and was named Bluepaw. She was a good apprentice, but in a battle with WindClan, her mother Moonflower was killed. She put it behind her and became a warrior, Bluefur.
