hay-on-wye
we've got back home ( Wales) and seen millies best Friend in a super market and been to millies favourite book shop.And got one billion books more than you can think of. I even got tons more than thirty three books we got today. we also got to see our granny and grandpa they came last night at eleven thirty because they went to a concert.Our granny only got two books. My first book I have is Tracy beaker its called Starring Tracy beaker its all about a girl called Tracy and she lives in a children's home and wants her mum to come back and tack her home but she cant because she's a famous film star and writes books.
X = C
millie and me love to right a easy code.So we always do the opposite of the word X is the opposite of C so that's why my blog is called X = C I like to remember that like L is the opposite to O so if millie wrote something like hello lottie
it is easer to work out it is
svool olggrv that is it in are code that means hello lottie like I is the opposite to R so I am a cat is
r zn z xzg to work out what something means you split the alphabet in half and then count the number 2 times then you get the answer so if I said to millie lets have fun what would it be if you are on a computer then just open a new page and write the alphabet the cut in half at M and N so you get he answer and if you want any more letters there's P P is the opposite of Q so queen is pfvvm so if you want to learn keep on reading it gets better if you need any more letters here are some A is the opposite of Z so its A Z en just open a new page and write the alphabet the cut in half at M and N so you get he answer and if you want any more letters there's P P is the opposite of Q so queen is pfvvm

Philadelphia and Friends!
While we were in NYC we thought it was a good idea to go and see some friends we have who live in a suburb of Philadelphia. The grown-ups are called Corey and Tom and they have three kids. One who is half a year younger than me called Colwyn, one a bit younger than Lottie called Rhys and one who is four called Jasper. We rented a zip car and drove there. When we got there we figured out soon enough that
We had a wonderful dinner of chicken and corn on the cob. We went inside and had some blueberry crumble. We then did something that Colwyn did NOT want to do. We watched the music video which both a very young sleepy Colwyn and a very young shy me are in. We could kind of predict what would happen because we guessed Colwyn would yawn and then he did. I think he ended up going to sleep. The only time I ever sang or danced was when I stood up and waved my arms about and spun round and round. I thought I was HILARIOUS! We then talked and went to bed.
The next morning we had a late breakfast and drove to Philadelphia. The car arrangements went like this. Tom and Tom with Rhys and Lottie in one car. Jasper,Colwyn, Mama, Cory and I in the other. We drove to Independence hall and got in WITHOUT the others. Mama got a phone call that they were looking for parking. So we then found them later and went to a place called Reading Terminal. It is this old terminal that they basically turned into an all year round farmers market. We had lunch and headed back to the house. Me and Colwyn managed a very silent game of basketball by somehow making it so we try to make a hoop and give it to the other person then they try and give it back and so on. We did that. I also found that playing a piano again was wonderful. Usually when there is one I won't play because I get embarrassed but with Rhys playing too, I stopped being so scared. I played over and over again.
We then drove for about an hour with the same car arrangements to a place where we had dinner. We then drove to a garden where there would be fireworks. We got there just in time and I have never seen lovelier. You are in a quiet garden and then there are tons of fireworks.We were listening to Swan Lake music while we watched the show. We then took a walk through the gardens and I got scared because I get scared in the middle of a field in the darkness. The funny bit was when we got to throw two pennies in the fountain and Colwyn accidentally threw his wristband to being allowed in the water! He then had to fish it out! We fell asleep in the car. Well I didn’t. When we got home we all went to bed and got some sleep.
The next morning we had another late breakfast and then I played some more piano and basketball. I also rode Rhys bike a bit. We then decided to go to the town pool. I got changed quickly and when we got there I was the only one brave enough to go into the cold water. We then swam around and played. Me and Colwyn started a game where we hit a ball some where and swim to get it. The one who got it hit it again. This carried on and through the trying to get it I got kicked in the head once by Colwyn but it did not matter much. We then had to go so we said goodbye and drove back. I had one of the best weekend EVER!
- Jasper is stronger than me
- Jasper is a good puncher and very rough
- Colwyn and Jasper are Baseball nuts!

NYC part 1
We have been in New York for about three weeks and have about a month left. We have been to alot of places and instead of doing lots of posts I will do a really long one. So get yourself ready for LOTS of info!! So let me see... Ah Ha first is:
The Empire State, Central Park and Grand Central station
We went into Manhattan with Daddy as he headed to the office and we went to the Empire State. Daddy’s office is really close to it so we went and walked after saying goodbye to him. We walked through Bryant Park and walked their it was early in the day so the queue was not really really long. We got our tickets and made our way to the lifts. You know those places where you have to get your picture taken. Well of course there was one of those. And there was a long line which we had to stand in and then skip it. Then we kept going and finally got into a lift. All the way up there was someone saying "Welcome to The Empire state ..." in lots of languages. That got boring. Up and up we went until we finally got to the 80th floor. Then we got in an other lift to go to up six more floors. Then we got to the top and could see all over the city!!!!!!! I of course knowing me took lots of pictures. We then went back to the air-conditioning. We took the lift down and when we got to the bottom decided to go and see 1 out of Mamas two favourite buildings. Grand Central station!We went in and had a sandwich for lunch. Then we went to the Metro and went to Central park and had an ice cream sitting under the trees. I love NYC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we had a good day!
