Sophie's Blog: Sophie, people wear all kinds of different clothes to work. For a lot of jobs, people wear uniforms. Describe Grandma Linda's uniform. You went to a Navy picnic this weekend with Grandma and Grandpa, what kinds of things did you do? Write three sentences about the Dinosaur park.

Grandma Linda's uniform is tan, and has a lot of pins on it. It has a hat that goes with it and her hat has red stripes and 1 pin. I met a lot of new kids who I thought were very pleasant and nice. Grandma was in charge of the kids entertainment portion and we did beanbag toss, water balloon toss, and ladderball. At the dinosaur place I won three dollars in a maze. I played on a playground for over three hours. And I climbed on life size dinosaurs that were painted just like real dinosaurs.
