Today we play a game called Tax Simulation,and we each got a cup full of candy inside,and the king would have to draw a card,and read it out aloud to everybody the first card was about whoever had a sister,had to put in 2 candies.Next it was if you had brown hair you had to give 3 candies away.After that when you had no more candies left you couldn’t play anymore.Then the game was over.What I learned about this was that many people did not want to pay taxes because they didn’t want to waste their money,and also I learned that not all taxes were fair.

When I first turned 10 years old my mom,dad,and sister were planning a birthday party,and they told me that we were going to Houston to get my cousins for my birthday party.I thought a minute where my birthday party could be at.Then I said to myself maybe we are going to the beach because the beach is at Houston and my mom had bought swimming suits so that gave me a hint.When we got my cousins we went straight to the beach but my parents,cousins,and sister didn’t know that I knew where we were going.I was right, we got off the truck and went to a bathroom to change in our swimming suits.After that we got out of the bathroom and went to swim.When I got there,there was a huge cake at the table with zebra bows on top of the cake.It was AWESOME! We went swimming,built a castle, and then ate the yummy cake, it tasted like strawberries and cream,everybody liked it.It was getting night and we were about to live to my cousins’s house because we were going to spend the night with them,and I told my parents how much I love this party,and thank you.I will always remember this,and how much I love you!
