What I do on weekends to have fun is to go to soccer
with my brother and my dad and also to play with my cousin and her friend
and also I skate with my neighbor. The skates have four wheels. I like
to go out with my family and go to the Golden Corral steak house and to
go to Peter Piper Pizza.
I also like to go to the movies, to visit my cousin Angel,
we take him to see soccer, I go with my mom and dad also with my brother
and my cousins and we rent movies, we buy potato chips to see the movies.

When we leave home on a weekend and go to Juarez,
I go up on the roof of the house and I like that very much, always when
we stay in Juarez I like to go on the roof.
Me when I went to Zaragoza that was fun because
it was the birthday of my brother and he turned 7 and I drank orange soda
... and I get together with my cousins and we go to the market to buy things
and I had fun with all my cousins. Me I like to go to the swimming pool
of Juarez and it is called The Mammoth because they let you stay as long
as you want and I go there on Saturdays and Sundays and also because we
asked permission and Elisa goes with me only two times.

On Sundays I go to the mountains and we walk up and then we run
down and as they are sloping, well when we go down we do cartwheels on
the ground. What I do when I have weekends I go to Jesus Martin's home
to play soccer with our little brothers Abraham and Luis Carlos, I and
Martin we are one team and Abraham and Luis Carlos ace another team
when we are finished playing soccer we play Sega cassette Sonic and Tails
then after playing Sega we go outside to use the bicycles than my mom comes
for us then when we go we start playing soccer I and Abraham then we put
on shorts and we get wet with the water pistols them we go to our grandparents'
and I play with my cousins. And last of all we go to my aunt's to jump
with my El Paso cousins on the trampoline because I have cousins in Juarez
and in El Paso.
To have fun I go to my cousins' to play and to go
shopping and to go to our friends in Juarez to play soccer.
To have fun I also like to go to my El Paso cousin's
and go to his swimming pool and to jump on the trampoline after having
been in the pool.

One of my best weekends that I had was that we went
to my uncles' and they live in El Paso proper and we spent all the night
there and also we went to the circus of El Paso and we had a lot of fun.
Another thing i like to do on the weekends is go
my uncle's to play with my cousins and we play with Barbies, and basketball,
and soccer. I like to go and practice cheerleader at the high school.
I like to do gardening and plant strawberries and
melons and watermelons.
My dream weekend in El Paso would be to go to Western
Playland and go on many rides. And also we'll go to the circus to see the
elephants and also we'llgo to Big8. Also we'll have fun at the movies and
we'll see the movie of the Spice Girls. Also we'll go to my grandma's and
we'll go to church to pray because my grandpa had died like not long ago.
Western Playland is a place where we can go to walk
around and also if you want to go on the rides you have to buy a lot of
tickets so that you can get on many rides.
Big8 is a store where they sell food and candy and
soft drinks and we buy a cake, donuts, soft drinks, and candy, and then
we go home real late at night and then we'll brush our teeth and go to
sleep.

to go on an off-road motorcycle.
Western Playland is a park that has many electronic
rides. Me I like to go on the rollercoaster it is called El Bandido, and
on the Nest, the Nest are some spheres that fly in the air.

If someone reads this and comes to visit El Paso
there will have fun like they never had if they go swimming in the pool
named Pavo Real. If they go to Juarez ther can go to the Red Hill (Loma
Colorada) and go up to the top and come down running and it feels fantastic.
When the weather is warm I go to the swimming pool
and learn how to swim. Sometimes I go to Peter Piper Pizza and play in
the games with the dollar that my mom gives me and eat pizza (my favorite
is pepperoni). I go to Juarez to the circus. There I go to the mountains
and climb up to the top and then go down running. I go to the parks and
there I play with my brothers on the swings.

Me I don't like it when there is no school. I like
to go to school because I get bored at home because I don't do anything
at home because at school I can get many friends together and at home one
can almost not get friends together and at school we can play soccer with
many children and at home only with some four children...
But I like to go to Western Playland on weekends
because there is a big swimming pool and there are games to play and in
one place there is a big slide and the big kids go diving and the little
ones cannot go up because it is really deep and there is a children's slide
and there is a little pool for babies and sometimes they put a trampoline
but they have to pay one dollar and there is a whale and the children can
get into the whale.

On the weekends I play with my sisters. We go to
the swings ansd then I go shopping with my mom. My dad takes me to buy
the things I need. Then my aunts come and I play tag or on the swings with
my cousins. I play in the playhouse that my dad has bought me. Sometimes
I go to the fair.
My best weekend is when I go to Fiesta Roller with
my family and also to the baptism of my baby sister.

My best ways of having fun on the weekends are to
go to the pizza and play with the games that they have also to go to my
aunt's and play with my cousins and also to the parks that there is and
get on the swings and the other games and also to go to the fairs that
there is sometimes in San Elizario and I get onto the rides that there
is in the fairs. And I always get on them with Corina at the fairs and
sometimes with my little cousins.
And what I would like best to do on a weekend in
El Paso and Juárez would be to go skating, to visit the zoo, also
to the circus when it is open. Also to go to visit our friends, uncles,
aunts, or cousins, go shopping, go swimming, or to Western Playland. I'd
like to go to some of these places on a weekend because they seem like
a lot of fun to me. And I would also like to invite my friends to my home
and play with the Monopoly or other games. And also to go to the museums
and see the things that are in the museum. Those are the places to which
I would like to go on a weekend.

To visitors to El Paso I would recommend going to
Western Playland because it is a lot of fun because it has many rides.
They can also go to Wet N' Wild Water World because they can swim and they
can play in the water with a ball. They could also visit the ancient sites.
What I like to do on the weekends is I like to ride
my bicycle and to ride one of my horses, the one I like best to ride is
Beauty because she does does what I tell her. I like to play football with
my big brothers and my sister and Nintendo 64 with my sister and sometimes
with my brothers. I like to play tennis and to play golf. I am a girs but
I like to play what the boys play because the girls only play with dolls
and things like that.

On the weekends when it is warm I like to go into the irrgation ditch
with my cousins to swim and to dive. I like to play with a top.

The things that I like to do on weekends is to go
on the bicycle, play football, play Nintendo 64, go on o motorcycle, also
ride wild horses, go to the park, go to the sand dunes because you can
go on a motorcycle and ride with the motor off it feels good.
Perhaps what I like best of all is to go to the
swimming pool because it has a slide and the slide has a lot of water and
it has curves and you feel like you are going to fall out but you don't
fall out because there is like a net that keeps you in and in this manner
until you get to where the water is. Floor number 4 of the pool is the
deepest and went you go in there you stay a long time before coming out.

My fun weekends in El Paso are when we go to Wet-and-Wild
to go on the rides and to let go of some ropes and you let go and you fall
into the water and there is a waterfall, there is a wall of a blue whale
and you slide and you hit your head. And there are games and you go up
into a tree and you can buy clothes because the tree is a store and you
wait and some men come for you and take you to the swimming pool and there
is a little room with games and you have to ask permission from your parents
to go to the deep part because you could drown.
I go to the pizza to eat and I like the pepperoni
pizza and I go and play with the games and my mom gives me 15 dollars.
On a weekend in Juarez I like to go to my cousins'
to play football in the street and to play Sega the game of Toy's Tory
and the game of Dragon Ball Z2 and to see the movie of Dragon Ball Z3 and
to eat ice cream and hot pepper popsicles.

What I like best is the movies because they show many cool movies.
To go to the zoo because it has many animals, it has tigers, wolves,
snakes, turtles, big ostriches, crocodiles and other animals.
Go skating in Juarez.
Something else I do on my best weekends is to go to a park to play,
go to the mountain and it has a road you go up and there is a lookout point
with telescopes and if you put a quarter in you can see the whole city.
You can go to the desert to hunt rabbits.
I go with my cousins and we play football.
Also we go to see the model airplanes fly, some men have model airplanes
and they make them go in circles... things like that.

What I do on my best weekends to have fun is that
me on the weekends I like to go to my uncles' and to play school with my
cousins because my cousins have a lot of books.
Me what I would like to do in my vacations is to
the circus of Juarez and the name of that circus is Roncali International
Circus because I can see the animals such as elephants, clowns, musicians,
trapeze artists.

Me I like to go to the swimming pool because one
can dive and one can jump from the trompoline. That pool is in Fabens and
also outside the poo there's a playground with games and also in front
of the playground there's another playground and thre are games but when
the pool isn't open in the playground there's a machine that throws water
and with the water one can play and you can get wet. When there is no water
you can play soccer.
Also you can go to the Peter Piper Pizza of the
Avenue of the Americas. And you can eat pizza with black olives and pepperoni.
And I like to play with the games there.
I would also like to go to Ruidoso on a weekend
and the next weekend go to the pizza. I like Ruidoso because there are
many cabins there and there is a lot of oxygen and besides that there are
flowers and grazing land and at night the bears come out and in other places
(like here) there are not many trees neither are there any bears nor grazing
land.

Me on weekends I go to visit my parents and my siblings
and I ride my bicycle almost the whole day with my cousin and my siblings
around the house we go. Or sometimes we go on the swings and we play sisters
and my dog was the driver and sometimes I go to play with my friend Brenda
Vazquez. and also we go to the park and we go skating and we ride our bicycles
and on the swings and on the see-saw.
We can also go to Fiesta Roller to skate and we
can compete and play and there is a really big slide and when you slide
it seems like a mountain and there's the Flintstones' game and a more or
less small waterfall and you play volleyball and basketball.

and on my go-cart and this weekend we are going to do the same always we
are going to do the same.
And for a really cool weekend we could go to Wet
N' Wild and also we could go to Western Playland and also to the swimming
pool called Pavo Real.
