The last day of 2013

HI THERE AGAIN READERS!!!!

I am afraid, I have some bad news for you!  Today is the last day of 2013!!! It might sound like a big day, but not as big as when fireworks were allowed in Hawaii a few years back. Those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, I just mean that fireworks have been declared illegal a few years ago!! Isn't that terrible??!?!?!!!?!?! But, at least around our street, we hear fireworks going off every year around New Years Eve and fourth of July. Despite the law, people still set off fire crackers!  I think we still have some sparklers in our garage but they are probably moldy or something. I am kinda disappointed though, because fireworks are so cool! 

When we used to live in Santa Fe New Mexico, on New Years Eve we set off all of these awesome fireworks like bottle rockets that made a bunch of loud noise and a big banging at the end. In Santa Fe, there was this awesome fire work store that sold tons of fire crackers and fire works. There was so much variety!!! IT WAS AWESOME!! 

I also remember when we used to live in Sydney Australia. Every New Years we would watch people set fireworks off on a bridge. I do miss those times! I mean, you can still see expert firework crews setting off fireworks but it isn't the same if you can't make a few go off in your neighborhood.  


Anyway, enough talk about fire works. On holidays and other significant times Google always posts a Google Doodle. Today, this is the doodle (left) Sometimes, like on Thanksgiving, there was a cool little video, and on Christmas Eve there was an interactive Santa tracker. If you want to see what I am talking about go to: http://www.google.com/doodles/finder/2013/All%20doodles and skim through the doodles or search a specific one. 

Can you believe that 2014 is one day away??? It's hard to believe isn't it? 2013 was a good year but it's nice to start afresh if ya know what I mean! A new year!!!! WOW!

At school, I take French for my foreign language. I just wanted to let all of you know, that _____ means fire works in French. 

Sorry, I'll get back to you on that! I can't quite remember what fireworks in French is!  We definitely learned it though and it's not on Google Translate!

 So there's your "lesson" on French!!! :) Bye for now! It's quite late! See ya!!!
