For Christmas my family and I go to Puerto Penasco Mexico. What we do there is build houses and give things to people who really need things and I am going to talk about eveything that I did in Mexico this year.
On the Tuesday after school was out my family and I left to go to Mexico but we were going to go to Las Vegas, than Arizona, and finally go to Mexico. I was so excited but the drive was verry long. We got to Vegas and went strait to the Utah Boise State game. It was really nice because it stopped raining and we had perfect seats but they were on the Boise side. It was really fun but it was sad that Utah lost. After the game we went to a resturant that was really good but I forgot what it was called.
The next day we went to Pheonix and just went to the store and got food ready to go to Mexico. The next day we got up early and went strait to Mexico. It was another long drive but it was worth it to be in 70 degree weather. We went past the border with zero problems and then we went strait to the church to give all the kids the stalkings that we made for them. The best part about that thing is I got to be the santa that gave all the kids the stalking that we made. It was way fun. After that we went to our condo at Las Palomas and went on the beach for a while. Since it was Christmas Eve we went to my favorite resturant called Mare Blu. It was so good and it was an awesome first day in Mexico.
The next day was Christmas. I got a game for the wii that my family got and I also got some chocolate. The best thing that we did was on Christmas for a family with three boys Bryan De Jesus (6 years old) ,Juan Carlos (8 years old), and Ronaldo (9 years old) that had absolutely nothing at all. What we did is just my family and I went to their house and we gave them all a Christmas including the parents and everyone in their family and then we took the kids to the store and got them tons of food that they needed and propane for their house. It was the best part of the whole break because it was awesome to see how gratefull and excited they were for things that we get every day.
After the awesome day we had one of the families that came with us down at our condo and we played a game of pounce.
For the rest of the trip we built the houses for the different people and went to the market and did all sorts of fun things but for sure the best part about the whole trip was doing that one thing for the family.

Utopias
To me I think that the utopia in The Giver is a good and bad utopia in different ways. First it is good because in the community you are always safe and fed. The bad part about the utopia is you have no choise. An example of that is how each person is assigned a job and a life and you don't get to choose your partner and you are not even able to have kids. I don't think that not being able to choose could be so told "not as dangerous" but I don't think that it is really fair you can't choose for yourself.
The reason that I think that this utopia is bad is that you see and feel nothing. It is not fair. They can't feel pleasure or pain so to me I don't think that you could ever really be happy because you don't know what it really feels like to be sad. I think that it would be a lot better if you could see and feel things and be able to choose because if you don't than you will never really be happy. I think that if you choose and feel, people would be able to enjoy things a lot more and find different rules so it is still a utopia but people have options to do what they want.

Chameleons
Ever since I was little I always have wanted a chameleon. To me chameleons are the coolest pet that enyone can have because they don't make any noises, they are not nasty (like rats and other animals like that), they change color (I didn't think that they did uless they have lived in the wild but they actually still do),they have and awesome toungue that catches its food when it is hungry, and last they have independent eyes. They are just prety much amazing!
This month me and my family decided that we are going to move to a different house after Christmas and I got the best news that I have ever gotten. I might be able to get a chameleon after we move. I have already found the perfect one and it is only a few weeks old that is perfect. I can't wait to get him even though I don't have a name for him but I am so excited!

Jackson
I have a dog named Jackson. She is the best dog that I have ever had and I am going to tell you the story of how I got her and about her.
How I got Jackson is when I was about one, me and my family went to Jackson hole for a vacation. We did tons of fun things but the best thing that we did was going to a pet store. We looked around in the pet store and I decided that I wanted a dog. My parents didn't think that was a bad idea so when we got home my dad looked everywhere for a chocolate lab because he always wanted one and it was what I wanted too. Finally he found a puppy chocolate lab from one of his friends that was only weeks old. My dad decided that she was perfect. He brought her home and I was so excited. we named her Jackson because all I wanted in Jackson Hole was a dog so we named her after that.
Jackson is now thirteen years old and isn't really able to do much but when she was younger she would do tons of things. Right when we got her we trained her. She could sit, shake, roll, and stay but the best thing that I thought was that she was trained to catch pheasants. We trained her but the funniest thing was when we went pheasant hunting my dad killed a one. Jackson ran off to get it like she was trained but she didn't come back so after a while. We got impatient after a while and went to find her. When we found her she was sitting right in front of the pheasant with her tail between her legs not knowing what to do. We told her to pick it up but she just sat there staring at it and finally my dad picked up the pheasant and mde her carry it the rest of the time that we were hunting.
Jackson is now twelve years old and is just as awesome as she was before. She still will play with you but after a while she gets really tired and lays down. She has never bitten anyone and has always been scared of little dogs but she has never been afraid of the big ones. Jackson has always been the best dog and always be the best, and that is how I got my dog.
