What I did this Spring Vacation

This spring vacation I went to Orlando, Florida. It was very fun there and the cool part of it all that my family and I were really close to Epcot and Disney World. We didn't stay in the resort at Disney World we stayed in a resort called "Orange Lake Resort." Over at Florida it was warm and a little humid but it was okay. The places that I went to were Epcot, Disney World, Blizzard Beach, Animal Kingdom, Kennedy Space Center, Titanic Museum, and the Pool. I had a good time.

Elections

I think that Obama is going to win and I want him to. Clinton just lost one of her people. The last election results he was ahead of Clinton by 66 votes so far he is in the lead and I hope he stays there. Obama is a fun and caring man I think he is going to make a great president. That's what I think is a primary election.

Utah is mostly made up a of deserts where snakes and mountain lions.The biome that I choose is the tropical rain forest because its pretty there and there's a lot of rain. The climate there is sunny, rainy, and warm. The animals that live there are monkeys, jaguars, and lots of other cool animals. Tropical biomes are close to the equator and thats why it's warm there.
