The Silo by: Shannon L. Oak Grove School
Our family likes going out on Saturday night for great food and fast service, so we ended up in a big two story restaurant, Silo. We didn't have to go on Saturday but since we did there was an awesome magician. He is funny, makes balloons, and does amazing tricks! I know all of this because when I went there with my siblings, parents and grandma he did all of these unbelievable tricks. The magician made me a jumping balloon mouse and he did this trick with my grandmother's ring. We were all so amazed! Once the magician left I was kind of bored but that was not a problem for long because near the entry there is a whole shelf full of these little fun portable games that you bring back to your table. I didn't play very long because our food came right away. We ordered two pizzas, 1 pepperoni and 1 cheese since they are famous for their pizza. I personally like cheese better than pepperoni but I'm sure the pepperoni was great too! Over all I had a great time at Silo and I can't wait to go back.

Libertyville Sports Complex by: Grace L. Oak Grove School
I went to the Libertyville Sports Complex over the summer. When I went there, I first played basketball and my team won! After that, I played a soccer game that ended in pretty much a tie. After soccer I hit in the batting cages. I hit five pitches and missed three. Then I went rock climbing, it was very high, but I made it all the way to the top! I saw Birthday parties there too! I would want to have my Birthday party there, would you? I also saw a running track and saw people running. I had an awesome time there and I hope to go again to the Libertyville Sports Complex.

Libertyville Theater by: Sacha K Oak Grove School
I love the Libertyville Theater. The last time I went there I saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Price. Before the movie began, the usher asked trivia questions. If you answered one right, you got a free movie ticket to the theater. I had a slushy and popcorn to enjoy the movie, then when I was at my seat the usher who worked there went up and down the aisles and asked if we or anyone needed refills on drinks and asked for popcorn refills for free. I was so surprised! Another thing I did at the movie theater was play arcade games. I played Pac Man, and it was really fun. I can't wait until I go back to the Libertyville Theater!

The Volo Auto Museum by: Sammy S. Oak Grove School
One day my Grandma and I went to the Volo Auto Museum in Volo. We walked in, bought a ticket, and went to the first room. In the first room we saw cars from TV shows and I sat in the Flintstones car, it was comfortable. Then we went outside and saw army vehicles from the Vietnam War. You could not get in them, but you could touch them. There were tanks, trucks, and Hummers! We moved back inside into four new rooms that had a bunch of cars. There was an Easter Bunny car, a hot rod, and even a monster truck. They had a lot of cars from movies too. When my Grandma and I were looking at the monster truck my Grandma bumped me into the monster truck's wheel. That hurt! My Grandma said we had to go home. I hope I can go there again to see more vehicles. That was so fun and interesting.
