- Why is Matt so adamant about the family learning how to cross country ski?

ReplyDelete2 Miranda is always thinking about when she skated and how beautiful it felt to ice skate.
3 Matt knows that it could become a good escape plan.

1- well I think that this is the best Christmas ever for Miranda because first Miranda woke in a great mood, then and at lunch Miranda called it a feast. Then Miranda's mom served lime jello. Then finalley the time for the presents came, and Miranda went to go get her presents at her supriuse everyone in her family had presents to give out too. Finalley Miranda got to give her special presents from mrs. Nesbbit's house.
ReplyDelete- Ryan is now posting bloggs on his iPod touch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2- The that is precious to Miranda is the thrill of ice skating.
ReplyDelete3- I think that Matt is trying to urge Miranda and her family to ski beacause Matt said that it is good exercise, and not only that but it is probaly would train miranda's family for what the rest of the winter brings them.
4- Mr. Motersen showed up at miranda's family door because his daughter is sick and she needs medecine, and the problem is that Miranda's family only has aspirn.
