Well happy new year! :) I spent New Year's Eve in a hotel room because we went 2 universal studios and the rose parade in pasadena. It was so much fun! It was surprisingly hot during the Rose Parade and the sun was like beating down on us. There was one really good marching band and they came from Japan or China (I'm not sure), and they were playing and dancing to the song Thriller! I don't know how the musicians were able to play and dance at the same time! It was amazing! One of my favorite floats was a float that had real waterfalls on it, it was a jungle theme, and they had these big gorillas, butterflies, and birds on it...it was just really pretty and it made me want to jump on the float and live there or something. :) Another one of my favorite floats is where they had these dogs and they were sledding down a hill on the float! and to get them back up to the top they had these little doggy houses and the doggy houses are on a line which is pulled at the top by some helpers, and they pull the line until the doggy houses are at the top and then the dogs get out and start sledding again. It was so cute! :) Universal Studios was fun also! One of my favorite rides was the Simpson ride and it was animated so you weren't on a real roller coaster it just seemed like you were, and they showed us a show of the Simpsons that went along with the ride. It was really neat and cool. They also had these special effect rooms where they showed you how special effects worked, one was really serious and it was about fire, and the other one wasn't serious and it was really fun and it was about just different stuff that was cool and interesting to learn. Well that's all I wanted to say so I will talk to you later. Bye bye.
