Beaver Creek Ski Resort

By

Robbie Heidt

           Beaver Creek is the ideal place for a family vacation. The runs are an awesome length. It is in a very convenient location. Beaver Creek is a place you and your family will never forget.

           The ski lifts at Beaver Creek can take from 2-5 minutes but the runs can take between 20-60 minutes for endless amounts of fun. If you are in a hurry to leave then take a black diamond that shoots down . If you are a beginner then you can go down easy and take your time. If you want to, you can do some jumps in between the trees. The ski lifts are kind of long but the runs are more 10 times longer.

           Ski in and Ski out is when you can ski to the lift and back to your room and there is no walking required. Ski in and ski out is something not every place has. Beaver Creek does because of its convenient location. You can find souvenirs, canned oxygen, and ice skating all within walking distance. That’s all part of the convenient location and skis in and ski out.

           I think by now I have convinced you that Beaver Creek is a pretty cool place. I recommend you go there but if there are ski resorts in Taiwan then I recommend you go there. If you go you will have an awesome time with your family. You will find the convenient location helpful and have endless amounts of fun.

Animal Kingdom

By: Alisha DeLeary

Boy do I have a lot of favorite places to visit.  I mostly enjoy visiting Animal Kingdom.  You might not be able to visit it physically, but you can visit it mentally.  There are many wonderful things to do at Animal Kingdom, but some of my favorites are the Kid’s Discovery Clubs, The Tree of Life, and the Kilimanjaro Safaris.

The Kids Discovery Club posts are located all around the park. There are 6 very different outposts. When you first get to the park the people that work there will give you a free passport to take to each post. When you go to them, you get to get a stamp, and you are on your way to getting a BONUS PRIZE, for visiting all the posts. There is a saying that I enjoy saying…….. it is “you get to see the world at a bug’s point of view”.

On your way to the posts, head over to the Kilimanjaro Safaris. Animals roam on over 100 acres of terrain. Keep a look out, because you never know what you will see on the Kilimanjaro Safaris. You may see anything from Antelope to Zebra. The attraction concludes when your tour guide receives word that poachers have taken a baby elephant from its mother. The driver takes off and you have to try and rescue the elephant from the poachers. Keep your eyes open and your camera ready.

On your way out stop in the middle of the park and admire all the magnificent hand carved creatures on all sides of the 14-story (145-foot tall), 50-foot wide tree. When you are leaving you cannot miss the tree, because it is the center of the whole park. The tree is a theater that shows the 3-D it’s tough to be a bug show in the root system of the tree. Be sure to inspect the carvings in the tree carefully, if you look carefully you might find a famous mouse hiding among the branches. Look for creatures like Galapagos tortoises, lemurs and cotton-top tamarins. Look and you will find all sorts of things.

Well I had fun did you? We did all of my favorite things and still have time to spare. Maybe we can stay tonight and watch the light show, and the street dance. What a fun day we had. If you ever get the chance to come to America, then you have to come to Animal Kingdom. It will become you favorite 3 thins and place ever.
