Dear Mrs. McKenz
ie,Thank you so
much for sharing
more about your
Christmas tradnt
iois with us. We
are fascinated b
y your activitie
s! We all enjoy
the things that
you've shared, b
ut we have barbe
ques and water s
ports in June, J
uly, and August.
Certainly not in
December! Our la
kes are frozen!
We are imagining
how cold we'd be
if we tried to h
ave a picnic at
the beach near u
s on Christmas d
ay. We wouldn't
even make it pas
t unloading our
car! Not too man
y of us have had
lamb before, but
a lot of us do h
ave turkey and h
am. We also like
to eat different
kinds of potatoe
s. Dominic's fav
orite are cheesy
potatoes. Yum! W
e think that wat
er sports are a
very popular act
ivity in our are
a. We live prett
y close to sever
al beaches. That
's good for jet
skis and swimmin
g too. Tubing is
another popular
water sport. Thi
s is when an inf
lated, doughnut
shaped tube is t
ied to the back
of a boat. Someo
ne sits on the t
ube and the boat
acclerates. We t
hink it is very
fun! We like to
do hiking too, b
ut around here i
t's just a lot o
f flat walking.
When we travel i
nto northern Mic
higan, we have s
omething called
sand dunes. Thes
e are wonderful
for climbing. It
is great exercis
e with a beautfu
l view. Have a
Merry Christmas,
Mrs. McKenzie!Mr
