Six Flags by: Ammar from the Hawthorn Elementary North School

Have you been to the most fun places on earth, Six Flags Great America? You can to on some of the most scariest roller coasters, like the Raging Bull. This is the most thrilling ride on the planet. They have so many rides you are sure to like some of them. The best time to go there is on weekends in October for Fright Fest. They have the whole park decorated for Halloween even the roller coasters. I also like to go and play the games and eat the great food.

There is a train, Kidzopolis and Camp Cartoon for little kids. In the summertime they have Hurricane Harbor which is a giant waterpark to spin down slides and get soaked. They have it all. A long with that, they also have rides that spin and fly. In fact there are some of the fastest, tallest, wildest rides in the Country, including some of the record breakers.

When you want to take a break from the rides, you can eat from many different restaurants, see a show or shop in one of the many stores, like Trudy's or Carousel. They sell shirts, candy and the best caramel apples.

In October they have Fright Fest. It is very scary in some parts, but is a lot of fun. The shows and rides are set for Halloween. They have haunted houses and paths for older people and a trick or treat path for younger ones. Don't miss this, you will not be disappointed.

Didier Farms by: Ashley B. from Hawthorn Elementary North School
You should go to Didier Farms close to Halloween because it has shows and pumpkins, gift shops and a lot of rides.

The shows and pumpkin patches are great. There are a lot of different shows, like puppet shows, magicians and animal shows. There are pumpkins all over the ground and they have wagons to carry the pumpkins.

Didier Farms also has gift shops. There is a Halloween Shop with spooky things. In the gift ship there is a food court with great snacks, if you are hungry.

Last, there are fun things to do like corn mazes, tractor rides and fast slides. My FAVORITE place is the petting zoo, where kids can pet different kinds of animals like goats, pigs, llamas and a lot of other animals.

Didier Farms is an awesome place because of its shows, pumpkin patches, gift shops and great rides!

Bass Pro Shops by Ellen from the Hawthorn Elementary North School

You should really go to Bass Pro Shops because they have lots of stuff like camping equipment, kids stuff, and also archery equipment. That is why you need to go to Bass Pro Shops.

If you go there, you should get camping stuff. Some camping things you can get are tents, sleeping bags, and folding chairs. The tents protect you from any bug. The tents are huge so you will have lots of room. The sleeping bags come in every size. The folding chairs have a foot rest attached to the actual chair.

Also there are things for kids. There are paintball guns with masks, cloths, and boots. The guns come with the paintballs so you don't have to go to a different place to buy them. The clothes come in any size.

They have archery equipment like arrows and targets. The targets will help the kids aim. There are a lot of archery arrows. The archery equipment will help you hunt all sorts of animals like deer, bears, and rabbits.

Maybe you should go to Bass Pro Shops. This is why. They have camping equipment, stuff for kids, and archery things. My favorite part is the camping equipment.

Six Flags by: Nicole J. from the Hawthorn Elementary North School
I think that you should go to Six Flags because they are open long hours and during the summer they are open 7 days a week. There are rides for small kids and rides that are not as scary for the little ones. They also have bigger rides for the bigger kids and the adults.

My first reason why you should go to Six Flags is that there are upside down roller coasters and crazy fun rides. There are small rides for the little kids and bigger rides for the teenagers, adults and some of the little kids like the scary big rides too. Some of the rides go upside down and some even go under water.

My second reason why you should go to Six Flags is when you spend the whole day there you get hungry. There are plenty of places to eat including a food court where you don't have to spend a lot of money. They also have drinks, ice cream, funnel cakes and candy. Some of the food they have are hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken fingers and much more. They also have fruit like bananas, apples, oranges, grapes and more.

Finally the last reason you should go is if you like to go swimming. In the summer Hurricane Harbor is open and it has swimming pools, parks and slides that you go down and fall right into the deep water. The slides are really fun to go down.

Come to Six Flags and have an awesome family time together. Your family will enjoy swimming, eating and going on the roller coasters together. So visit now to have the best family vacation ever at Six Flags!!

Family Aquatic Center by: Teresa, Yasmin & Zachary from the Hawthorn Elementary North School
Do you have anywhere to go and have fun? If not, you should go to the "Family Aquatic Center" in Vernon Hills, IL. The Family Aquatic Center has a lot of food that you can gobble up. You can also watch people having a great time such as families gliding down the water slides.

Yummy! That is the description of the food at the Family Aquatic Center. You need to try the amazing foods! They have hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, french fries and cheese fries. They even sell ice cream. Now, they even put a new Culver's stand.

Everybody in your family can be busy doing things they enjoy at the Aquatic Center. Adults can relax while tanning, children can go into the water for swimming and little toddlers can go in the tiny sandbox to build a castle. Everybody can bob up and down as the float along the cool, refreshing lazy river. You can hear people screaming as they race down the water slides.

The water slides are huge! You can go down by yourself or you can go down with a big balloon tube with your friend. The water slides go really fast as they turn and twist. There are three water slides to choose from. The green slide is covered so it is kind of dark as you go down and if you lay down then you go really fast.

The Family Aquatic Center is an amazing place to spend time with your family and everyone will have fun. It is an awesome place to be.
