Lambs Farm by: Hannah F.N. from the Hawthorn Elementary North School
 Where else can you find barn animals living on a farm in the middle of your city? If you enjoy old-fashioned country fun, then Lambs Farm is the place for you and your family. This is a fantastic place to go because it if fun for the kids, it has great food and low prices. I believe Lambs Farm is a superb place for family time.
The first reason I like it so much is that is fun. It has tons of attractions like the miniature train ride and the farmyard where you get to see animals like the cow and horse and much more. Other activities they have are a Carousel, miniature golf and a cow bounce house. During October they have Haunted Harvest every Saturday night. This is so much fun they decorate the whole place to represent Halloween. They have a Creature Walk, Graveyard Mini Golf, the Train of Terror and Enchanted Carousel.
The next reason is kids are not the only ones that will have a great time, adults will enjoy it too. Besides the barnyard, they also have a restaurant with a great breakfast buffet on the weekends. Other things, besides the kids, adults will like is the pet shop, thrift shop and country store. You can find historic souvenirs at the thrift shop.
I recommend you go to Lambs Farm because it is fun for kids and adults, has great food and low prices.

Six Flags Great America by: Brent L. from the Hawthorn Elementary North School
 If you want to go somewhere in the spring, summer or fall, then go to Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, located in Lake County.
One thing you can do at Six Flags is go on rides. There are lots of rides. Some go on steep turns, others go up-side-down. In the fall they have Fright Fest and the whole park is decorated for Halloween, even some of the rides. Some of the famous rides they have there are Superman, Batman, American Eagle and the Giant Drop.
Another reason to go to Six Flags in the summer it their waterpark named Hurricane Harbor. The waterpark has 11 water slides that all go into a big lazy river. The lazy river goes very fast so you have hold on to your tube. They also have 2 wave pools. The waves go so high that you have to jump to stay above them. In 2011 they also added a huge addition to the waterpark with new slides and much more.
During Fright Fest they have several haunted houses and some are pretty scary. They also have people walking around in certain areas trying to scare you and scary music playing. They do have areas for the young kids too.
While you are there don't forget to go to the food stands. Great America has 29 food places and 9 places to have ice cream. They also have games you can play and you can win prizes.
There are so many reasons to go to Six Flags Great America. With the rides, a waterpark in the summer, food, fun, concerts and Fright Fest in October you may want to keep coming back over and over.

Didier Farms by: Shannon S. from the Hawthorn Elementary North in Vernon Hills
 Are you looking for a place to visit while hanging out in Lake County? You should go to Didier Farms. It is located in the Prairie View/Buffalo Grove area.
To begin with, Didier Farms is a good place to visit in the fall because they have Pumpkin Fest. There are pony rides and games and they even have tractor rides through the pumpkin patch. There is also many other fun things to do during the Pumpkin Fest, like picking pumpkins, going through the corn maze, visiting the petting zoo and going through the spooky cabin.
Another reason to go is their awesome farm stand. The corn is picked fresh off the stalk daily and is so fresh and juicy and tender. It is their specialty. They also sell jelly, candy and Door County Pies. The apples are all homegrown and they even make their own apple cider, which is a perfect treat for a cool fall day spent outside at the farm.
Lastly, Didier Farms has an outstanding greenhouse. They have unique and unusual flowers. Their specialties are beautiful Black Petunias, Phantoms and Pinstripes. They have custom containers that are handmade for your flowers too.
If you are looking for a great place to visit, come out to Didier Farms. It has a wonderful pumpkin fest. Their greenhouse is beautiful and the farm stand is the freshest. You can stay and have fun all day and never be bored.
