Winter Wonderland by: Leah W. & Matthew F. from the Hawthorn Elementary North School in Vernon Hills
 I think you should go the the Winter Wonderland because of all the fun stuff there. I suggest you go there because it is easy to get in and enjoy, you can do a lot of activities while you are in the car and you can spend lots of time with the family.
First of all, I recommend you go to Winter Wonderland because it is really easy to get in! You only have to pay $5 on the weekdays and $10 on the weekends. This counts for the whole group of people. Even though you can't go to Winter Wonderland during New Year's Day and Christmas Eve and day, it is open November 25th through December 31st.
Second, I suggest you go to Winter Wonderland because there is a lot of fun activities to do while you are driving through the light show. While you are watching the lights you can do the scavenger hunt for 19 snowmen! In the beginning it tells you that the hunt is starting and you can have fun looking for the hidden snowmen. There are also signs that have pictures from the song The 12 Days of Christmas, so you can sing it on the way. The light show is all about lights in different characters, so you can look for your favorite character.
Finally, I recommend you go to Winter Wonderland because you can spend time with your family. When you are driving you can talk and spend time with them by talking about your day, and doing the snowman scavenger hunt! You also can have fun and sing songs and see your favorite characters. You can have a snack and just watch the beautiful lights.
This is why you should go to Winter Wonderland, because you can just get in line and wait for a minute, you can do lots of fun activities while you are driving through the light show and you can spend quality time with your whole family!

Marriott Theatre by: Rachel K. from the Hawthorn Elementary School in Vernon Hills
 If you are looking for somewhere to go, a good place would be the Marriott Theatre. The Marriott Theatre has kid's shows and adult shows, lots of musicals and plays and really good seats.
First, the Marriott Theatre has kid and adult shows. At the end of every kid show the kids get to ask the actors some questions. They also get to meet the people in the play. They have lots of adult shows too. They have musicals, dance shows, both old and new. They don't cost as much as the plays downtown and they are open almost everyday.
Next, the Marriott Theatre has lots of musical and plays. There is a lot of new shows every month, a lot of different show, and they have both afternoon and evening performances. Many are based on real movies. One of my favorites is the Wizard of Oz!
Lastly, the theatre has really nice seats. Wherever you sit, you can see the show perfectly. The stage is in the middle and the seats are all around. Your kids will love the seats! Also, the seats are really comfy.

Century Park by: Allison C. from the Hawthorn Elementary School in Vernon Hills
 Are you looking for a tremendous recreational park? You should definitely go to Century Park in Vernon Hills, and here are my reasons why.
First, they have an amazing sledding hill. I'll start out with the popular ice skating rink, it is so fun to go with your family! I'll also tell you about the HUGE sledding hill that you can zoom down, it is so awesome. They also have a warming shelter, so if you get cold you can warm up and have a warm cup of hot cocoa. After Halloween they have a Pumpkin Launch down the hill. You can bring a pumpkin and launch it or roll it down the hill and you can win prizes.
Next, in the summer they have a path to walk or run. My first reason to enjoy the path is the incredible community garden where you can admire the beautiful flowers. The next reason is you can exercise on the path with your friends and enjoy the amazing nature along the way. Lastly you can catch bugs, so if you are a good bug catcher you can see many kinds of beautiful bugs.
Lastly, there are brilliant views and places to see. There is a incredible lake call Big Bear Lake. There is also many different kinds of wild life that you can see, like flowers, plants and animals. The final reason to enjoy the park is that you can fish there and catch different kinds of fish.
You should go to Century Park because of the amazing path, awesome views, a big lake and the tempting sled hill.
