California

I had a great time at California. We went to go get a chinese hats. We went to the park and I saw Denise, she bringed her horse. She had to put it back at the barn. We got to ride the horse. She had to put her horse back in the cage. We went into the station where there was lots of hay. She got a basket and filled it up with hay. There is one thing else, she bringed cubes in the bucket that were made of hay. We got to eat hot dog at the park. Too bad I wasn't hungry. I played alot there. I tried to make friends. But they didn't want to play with me. So I just played with my brother. We had lots of fun there.
