Привет Сергей, я надеюсь у вас все хорошо. Угадай, где я был в выходные! Я решил перейти на сумасшедший аттракцион, в Парк приключений со своими друзьями. Погода была отличная. Там было много людей. Там было столько аттракционов я не мог выбрать,на какой из них пойти . Я попробовал Мега американские горки, это было здорово. Мы хотели пойти в зал кривых зеркал, но мы не пошли не потому, что там была очень длинная очередь. Мы пробовали сахарную вату, но мне не понравилось. Мы просидели до поздна, что у вас? Вы навещали своих бабушек и дедушек? только писать плохо. Сэм
