The Waukegan Beach by: Lavella M. Greenwood Elementary School in Waukegan

My family and I went to the Waukegan Beach. The beach is at 201 Seahorse Drive. It has sand and water to play in. Also it has tables to eat on and some grass by the tables. My sister and I played in the sand and made a sandcastle. Then we swam in the water. It was cold! Then it started to get warm in the shallow water. After that my sisters, brothers, mom, dad and I ate our food. We had sandwiches and some pop and carried it in a picnic basket. You can bring any kind of food you want. After we ate my sisters and I laid on our beach towels. You have to bring your own food there. After a great day we gathered our stuff and we went home. There are many fun things to do at the Waukegan Beach.

Lake County Fair by: Abby V. Greenwood Elementary School in Waukegan

I went to the Lake county Fair with my mom and some of my neighbors. I saw three girls in pretty dresses riding around in a golf cart. I think they might have been in the Lake County Fair Queens. There were so many different choices for dinner I had a hard time choosing from pizza, funnel cake, or a hot dog. I finally decided to get pizza and homemade lemonade. I went on the bumper cars and bumped into my mom a lot. I had a competition with my mom on the water shooting game. I also saw a lot of photographs in a building. Some photos had blue ribbons. There was an amazing show with lions and owls and many other animals. As we were walking around we could smell the farm animals in the barns like cows and sheep. The last thing we did was watch a dirt bike race. It was really cool! You see the people riding dirt bikes go off jumps and make sharp turns. It was the best time I ever had at the Lake County Fair.

Lake Bluff Beach by: Hussain A. Greenwood Elementary School Waukegan

I went to Lake Bluff Beach with my cousin. I went swimming in the freezing water. Their playground was awesome and a lot of fun. It was close to the water right on the sand. There is a slide that shoots you into the water. The sand on the beach was very moist; great sand to make sand castles. My cousins and I ran out of time so we didn't make a sandcastle but, other people were making them! That was the coolest time at LAKE BLUFF BEACH.

Bristol Renaissance Faire by: Grace M. Greenwood Elementary School in Waukegan

I went to a fair called the Bristol Renaissance Faire with my mom, brother, sister, and sister's friend. I went on only one ride at the fair. It was a chair ride that swings around ropes around a pole. It was scary at first. Next, my brother Evan and my sister Maddie wanted to do a fun competition so, they did fencing. I could not play because I was too young. My sister won. After that we got some food. There was normal food and medieval food like big turkey legs and much more. Then, we stopped by the stage to see some performers. Everyone there is dressed up that time in history. There was a man walking around selling really fancy hats. It was a ring with small fake flowers and berry's and three pieces of ribbon. I really liked them so I asked if I could buy one and my mother said yes so after that I had a medieval hat. My sister and her friend Megan wanted to get there palm read. When they came out they said that they would have a good life. I wish it was open year round instead of just the summer time because I can't stay away from the Bristol Renaissance Faire.

Bare Foot Bay by Ben B. an Oak Grove Elementary School Student

My Family and I went to Bare Foot Bay in Mundelein, an outdoor water park, and we had a blast! We got a nice spot on the grass by the speakers. It was very relaxing. We went on a heated lazy river, a tube slide, and a drop slide. I went on the diving board, I swam in the main pool, and played with built in water toys. After doing all those fun things I went to the concession stand. I had a cookie sandwich and a lemonade. The cookie sandwich was a killer because of all the chocolate and ice cream! After my snack break i went "island walking" on the water. Don't let go of the ropes above you or you'll fall in. I didn't go in the baby pool, but they have one. I want to go back to Bare Foot Bay again some time.
