Yesterday I went to Reversity and it was really fun. \u00a0We took a combi and then we got dropped off. \u00a0It was a really long ride. \u00a0We were dropped off on the highway and we crossed the street on a really long walking bridge and we got to the children’s museum and they were closed for lunch. \u00a0We went to Burger King! \u00a0I got a cheese burger. \u00a0The last time I went to Burger King was a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time ago, I think on the last trip. \u00a0That was three years ago. \u00a0I haven’t had a cheeseburger since Alaska. \u00a0Except for those ones dad made in Chile when he and mom went on a date night at the oyster restaurant.<\/p>\n

The first thing that happened was we got our cards – wait! we didn’t get our cards, we got a map. We went in and we got these watches that scan you in. \u00a0We had to put our watches on these hand things so we could go in to different things, like be a model or deliver propane. \u00a0This was a like a children’s museum but it had fake jobs, like a grocery store, a restaurant, a cooking school where we made these crackers and you can eat them. \u00a0They are real. \u00a0They had a hospital where you could be a doctor (editors note: this was the library and Sylvia did not go work at the hospital) but you didn’t really do much but draw and then you get an eraser. \u00a0It was a pink heart. \u00a0You get fake money for working at the stores. \u00a0You put the money into your bank account. \u00a0I had an ATM card. \u00a0We used the money for buying stuff. \u00a0We didn’t really buy STUFF but we got makeovers and that cost money. \u00a0It cost about 40 bucks for the whole thing, I go my nails painted and my hair done and my eyes done. \u00a0My nails were orange and pink. \u00a0My eyes were blue with sparkles on them. \u00a0I went to the propane station. \u00a0This is where you drive around in a truck and pick up and deliver propane, basically fill them up with gas.<\/p>\n

We went to the model thing, me and Annabelle. \u00a0The model thing is where you dress up and change and me and Annabelle both got black hats but we didn’t have the same pants. \u00a0I had totally dressed in black pants. \u00a0We did not put a shirt on we kept our shirts on and put black jackets on. \u00a0Once we were totally dressed I went out on the thing, the thing people walk on that’s like a line and goes to a circle and then goes another way. \u00a0People were in the audience watching me like dad and this other girl’s father. \u00a0Annabelle wore the same thing as me but different pants. \u00a0There was a girl who worked there that kind of speaks English and they all got my name wrong like Sophia until finally at the library they got my name right. \u00a0The girl that worked there helped us pose. \u00a0We posed and posed and posed. \u00a0After I left there, I went to see if Cocacola was done because i wanted to get a coke. \u00a0They were not done so I went to the toilet paper factory. \u00a0They showed us what it is made of. It is made out of trees and then they turn it white. \u00a0Then I went to Cocacola. \u00a0They show you how make coke. \u00a0They fill the bottles up with sugar and water and I don’t know what the brown stuff is I think its cocoa and they mix it up. \u00a0We got our own bottle! \u00a0I went to work at the gas station with Max. \u00a0You fill up the cars. \u00a0Annabelle was not there she had to go through a HUGE driving test. \u00a0At the library I read books. \u00a0I read a creature book, I mean a monster book and a book about a train. \u00a0At the end of the day when I left the children’s museum I got cotton candy and Max and Annie got cookies. \u00a0Annie got chocolate chip and Max got oreos. \u00a0Jack and Jennah were waiting for us outside and we went through all these lights at the mall, lights on the ground, lights in the fountains, lights everywhere! \u00a0Then I got to mom. \u00a0I had my cotton candy. \u00a0Wait! \u00a0I still have it now!. \u00a0We went home on the bus. \u00a0We had to walk far to the bus station. \u00a0The bus was really crowded. \u00a0I sat on mom’s lap and someone gave us their seat.<\/p>\n

The very best thing was the modeling. \u00a0And the makeover.<\/p>\n

***Editors note: \u00a0We went to Divercity which as over 60 fake but real places kids can work like the Tottus (grocery store), propane delivery, gas station, hospital, hair salon… Kids get an electronic bracelet so you can go to computers all over the place and scan your bracelet and see the location of all your kids at any time. \u00a0They get paid fake money and have a fake ATM card and can deposit and withdraw and pay for services. \u00a0Annnabelle got a driver’s license. \u00a0It was pretty cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
